hot take but avoiding filler is killing anime. like yes I actually do want to see jjk characters just fooling around for a whole episode without anything plot relevant happening
shounen fans in reading comprehension debt as always. obviously I don't mean 12 filler arcs before anything plot relevant happens, I'm talking about having balance and getting to know the characters and the world outside of plot
Hey as an actual Asian mlm, this thread is full of misinformation and blatant lies. Please do extensive research before writing something like that.
So here's a more accurate informational thread instead.
the whole point of trigun is that nobody is a villain and how horrifying trauma is and that you CAN, despite everything, strive to be the best possible version of yourself, that you can change, and that no matter what you deserve a second chance
how do yall not grasp this
vashies generally need some time to sniff and get to know each other better first! its important to keep donuts out of sight at this time to keep them focused. however, as you can see, the new stampede is very interested in this vashies geraniums and is accepting him as a friend!
@sydchii_
I don't want slice of life for being slice of life, I want breaks between plot episodes whether it's a random non canon side quest or beach episode or whatever
in the wild, vashies often share food with their stampedes. this behavior continues even after domestication, leading scientists to believe it is more of a bonding ritual than a survival tactic.
occasionally, stampedes will meet out in the wild, and if they get along they merge into bigger stampedes - this helps build community as well as ensure safety for every vashie
@vicopill
not even that really, just that gege has a bad habit of starting and not concluding them. like one example is that we got yuji/junpei friendship only for junpei to just be turned into a purple frog the next episode 💀💀💀 same for chosoyuki, toji/shiu, disaster curses etc
I'm about to cry i just remembered an elderly dude asked me abt the punisher and my gayass thought it'd be funny to be in character and said "im a man of the lord" and he was like THANK YOU for spreading the GOOD WORD and I was like YEAH the good word of oUR LORD MILLIONS KNIVES
vash: we can't kill him
wolfwood: well what are we gonna do? ask him nicely to please stop destroying humanity???
vash:
wolfwood:
wolfwood: oh my god we are
knives: what. are you eating
legato:
knives: what is. in your. mOUTH

We can absolutely all agree that the creepy, privacy-invading fujoshis are gross and cringe, but that's just because of the kind of individual people they are - creepy, gross and cringe - and has nothing to do with them enjoying mlm fiction.
The original word was rooted in queerphobia and misogyny, and Japanese women have since reclaimed it and use it for themselves, and using it in a negative way and claiming "well this is what it means IN AMERICA" is not only misogynistic, it is cultural appropriation.
vash: I'm 151 today :3
wolfwood: fuck yeah!! Happy Birthday!!
knives: and you didn't tell ME happy birthday
wolfwood: it was not happy that you got to see another birthday
Yaoi was created by a gay Japanese man in the early 1900s. Most creators now are LGBTQ+ as well. Fujin are people who enjoy mlm fiction - so yes, by definition, if you ship ANY mlm ship, you're fujin.
wolfwood: if your arm got cut off would it hurt
vash:
meryl: duh?
ww: how tho
meryl: cause your arm got cut off?
ww: where you gonna put the pain tho
meryl: in your a,,,, ah
ww: EXACTLY
vash:
ww: WHERE IS THS PAIN GONNA GO
meryl and ww: IF YOU GOT NO ARM
The word "fujoshi" was created by cishet men (but has since been reclaimed) to oppress women who enjoyed mlm fiction. These men claimed that if a woman was into something like that, it made her unfit to be a submissive wife, that it made her rotten.
At the end of the day, it really just boils down to how you treat real people; as long as your treat real mlm with respect, it really doesn't matter what you enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
I feel like part of why people choose to ignore nai's fear and trauma is because he's not the perfect victim. he's a loud, aggressive ticking bomb and just bc that doesn't fit the "proper" victim behaviour doesn't mean it's not real & doesn't make him "evil"
I want to emphasise just how scared Nai was during the last run... he looks terrified when they held his arms even though he knows he has powers & can kill them. He got scared for Vash when Luida got near him even though she had no weapon. He was shaking look at his FACE...
There's nothing wrong with being fujin! In fact, chances are, you're already considered such. The very history of the word "fujoshi" is beautiful and powerful, it's once again queer women pushing away misogynistic homophobic men and taking back power. In Japan!
vash is the type to use modern lingo like based and mood and knives just starts crying bc he doesn't know what any of it means
vash to ww: lmao im saying the whole thing low key slaps
knives: what
vash, still to ww: yeah dude gigachad move honestly
knives, trembling: w hat
vashwood is a very good ship bc it can be either angst tragedy pain suffering etc or vash screaming crying trying to get into the bathroom while wolfwood is on the toilet bc he hasn't seen him in 30 seconds and really misses him
Not to mention that many fujoshi are either trans women or closeted trans men. Japan is still a very conservative country and the fight for women's and LGBT rights is still going on there, and by misusing words and spreading misinformation, you're harming them.
meryl: are you okay
vash: sometimes I have the overwhelming urge to eat two thirds of a brick
wolfwood: what would you do with the other third
vash: feed it to my pet brother
Before making a thread like that, please take the time to study the LGBT history of Japan and Japanese creators as well as Japanese words and their history.
wolfwood: wheres my lighter
wolfwood: where are my cigs
wolfwood: where is my ammo
razlo, trying to sneak out:

wolfwood, shaking him: DÒNDE ESTÀ. mY SHIT?!
It's just painful to see young girls be fed this kind of false info and turn on women who have literally done nothing and are often small queer creators.
Young teens, especially western teens, let me tell you one little secret.
knives: you are NOT invited to our birthday party anymore
vash: who else are you going to invite
knives, voice breaking: WELL YOURE NOT GETTING ANY CAKE
chapel: you need to find god
wolfwood, throwing his fork down: for fucks sake did yall lose him again
livio:
razlo:
wolfwood: aND WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ME
Learn about the LGBT history of Japan, and of the rest of Asia as well. Many Asian countries do not allow gay marriage yet. In some, like my own, gay people aren't protected from hate crimes. Help us!
Is that not cool as hell? Would you rather act like those dumb men and try to make being a fujoshi into something shameful? Do you want to let them win?
