Something to consider about Symmetra & Mercy

From the beginning, Mercy was opposed to Overwatch’s militaristic ideals, goals, and ways of keeping the peace. For as long as she was a part of it she was at odds with her superiors/comrades and fought with them over their methods. But even at the risk of compromising her own morals, she chose to join and stay with Overwatch because she believed the organization gave her the opportunity to save more lives and help more people than she otherwise could.

Symmetra, as of her comic, is clearly shown to doubt Vishkar’s intentions and methods. She’s beginning to wonder if their goals and ideals really match up with her desire to help improve the lives of others, and actually disagrees with/disobeys them when it comes to harming anyone. But she has trouble believing Vishkar could be bad, so in spite of her doubts she stays and tries to convince herself that they are in fact making the world a better place.

So, while their situations are different–Angela joining Overwatch willingly in adulthood and Satya being taken in by Vishkar as a young child; Angela doing her own work since Overwatch has dissolved and Satya still being a member of Vishkar (for now at least)–they both are/were part of an organization with whom they don’t entirely agree, and stay(ed) with that group for the purpose of helping others as much as they can.

These two may not have any interactions with each other either in the lore or in-game, but I wish they did because they actually have a bit in common and definitely have the potential to get along!

Why the Boruto version of Shino is so sad

I think I get why this version of Shino disturbs me so much.

It’s not that everyone disrespects and insults him. That’s been going on forever.

It’s not that he lost his stoicism. Considering all of the stereotypes about autistic people being emotionless (and make no mistake, Shino is definitely coded as autistic), I think being expressive is a good change of pace.

It’s that he hides his Aburame nature. 

I thought it was weird that Shino never used his bugs to stop his students from wreaking havoc. He always stood on the sidelines and begged for the kids to listen to him. I thought the animators didn’t want to animate the bugs.

Instead, it seems Shino’s been hiding his hive. None of the kids have ever seen his bugs before. Most of them didn’t know he had bugs. The first time he uses them, he hides them in plush toys so that the kids will accept them. For good reason – when the kids discover that the party is run by bugs, they panic and cower in terror.

Shino used to be proud of his bugs. He’d bring them out whenever, and if the people around him were entomophobic, too bad. Let them scream; he had a job to do. In fact, he often seemed confused about why his friends were afraid of such tiny creatures.  

But now it seems like he’s gotten the message. Bugs will scare the children. Bugs will cost him his job. Being Aburame gets him hated, even more so than he already is.

So he represses his hive. Ties his wild hair in a scalp-tight bun. Hides his eyes in a gigantic mask so no one will see what he’s really feeling. He stops protesting when people ignore him or insult him, turning all that frustration inward. He never thinks, “Wow, my friends raised real brats,” or “Geez, Kurenai gets really passive-aggressive when she’s drunk.” Instead he calls himself worthless and tries even harder to win people over. Then the kids mock him for overcompensating. 

It was one thing when this self-destructive pattern was subtext. Seeing the anime confirm it is…sad. I don’t think there’s going to be a “be yourself” message at the end of this. I think Shino’s going to repress himself again in exchange for basic courtesy and kindness, and the anime is going to pretend that this a happy ending.
