im so disgusted by this. the implication that her race being different would change her personality into pompous and arrogant, the fact that OG white rapunzel is crying for some reason...this is absolutely shameful. it goes to show that beautiful art doesn't equal good morals
This is one of the most blatantly racist things I’ve seen from this whole Rapunzel discourse. They did their research for this one you could spend a whole class studying it.
this could've been prevented if chilchuck just said he has children but noooooo this stupid bitch is so allergic to being open with people he just had to sit there and endure it. his own damn fault
is there a lore reason why denjis skin became metal during the final battle in part I but got back to normal at the start of part II?????? did fujimoto forget about it?????????????
#fujimotoforget
semi-related but i've seen people argue that the aging system makes no sense since "two people living 35 years gives them the same amount of life experience, so they'd be mentally the same age regardless of race" but they don't realize that aging is also very physical
i’ve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise
proshippers are gonna hate this take but if ao3 is fine with allowing incest fics & various other Real World Unethical fics on their site for the sake of freedom in fandom, then ppl should also be allowed to express their distaste in those things without having their fics removed
notice how the people who love this artwork are the ones who write long threads analyzing chainsaw man and discussing its themes with other fans while the people making fun of it are the people who aren't in the fanbase and only read the manga at a surface level
(great art op!)
our bodies and brains grow with us! the aging in dungeon meshi is so sporadic due to innate physical differences that are implied to have come from magic (specifically wishes). there's a reason ppl talk so much about our frontal cortexes developing at 25
i don't even have social anxiety irl or online but like. you cannot claim to gaf about mental health when you're gonna judge the actual effects it has on people 😭😭😭😭
i will drop an anime or manga extremely quick if i feel like the female characters aren't written well. i have no reason to be reading something that won't treat female characters like regular human beings
@Winterflan
While Denji is clearly not content with only living a "normal" human life, it's still HIS life. It was still the dream HE fought for and the life he built out of the ashes of Makima's abuse. Barem didnt just slaughter family; he destroyed all of what Denji has built for himself.
it's one thing to censor actual threats, but if you're the fic website that acts all tough for allowing incest, pedophilic, and SA fics, how tf are u gonna cry about "we need to be nice to ppl :(" when someone says proshippers can eat dirt. like that's so tame stfu
in case this spreads while im sleepin: this isnt a debate over proshipping and morals. i dont agree w/ it but its not worth arguing abt.
but if ur offended bc someone said "proshitters DNI" then ur a big ol baby who doesnt even agree with the principles you supposedly stand for
reeks of orientalism. to an almost cartoonish degree. the intentional sexualization of the woman of color while the white woman is drawn "modestly" behind her. literal classic orientalist painting
@SCARFYYYY
nono he actually blamed it on the fact that "he didn't suffer enough as a white cis man so he had to take the words off of people who suffered more"
Check minute 3
@haepiIl
calling people immature and fandom cops for saying they don't like incest or age gap stuff but then crying harassment when someone says something like "proshitters DNI" 💀💀
october 31 2018 we all willingly downloaded something called "SURVEY_PROGRAM" just because the undertale twitter account told us to, toby fox has us wrapped around his finger
Toby fox is literally the only person who could go “hey can you guys download this weird scary thing for me. Don’t worry about it” and we were all of course mr. Fox right away mr. Fox
everyone has such a hard-on for enemies to lovers they forget the potential of friends to lovers. the fear of ruining the friendship, the nagging guilt of seeing your friend in that way, that feeling of "i just want to spend my life with YOU" ooooooh i love it
getting more attention. if a single person tries to explain the chainsaw man lore to me as if i haven't read the manga i will rip every follicle of hair out of both of our scalps. happy new year

i actually interpret mithrun's backstory as an allegory for SA. some of the imagery and the ways its handled feel INCREDIBLY suggestive of this (the "former dungeon lord support group" omake even paints the demon as some kind of abusive partner)
@Winterflan
im just baffled bcuz what do these people think good writing is...a well-written character feels like a genuine, fleshed-out person whose presence affects the narrative...that describes so many women he's written...i try not to be a meatrider but cmon guys...
not to say they are "fake fans" but rather that they have failed to see the deeper levels of makima and denji's relationship due to taking everything at face value. your lack of analysis doesn't mean others can't make art and observations about the manga that you didn't
yoshida was probably soooooo mad when he was told that asa was the war devil. he was probably like are you fucking kidding me i JUST set her up with denji
@CSM_analysis
The way Miri talks about it shows that the hybrids who WERE being controlled couldn't remember the fight after being freed. If Barem wasn't actually being puppeteered around, then he probably remembers the fight. Makes sense why he believes in Chainsaw Man so much
that kobeni had no purpose in the manga.
she was comedic relief (which was DESPERATELY needed at the end of part 1) and what she says to denji in this scene ended up being very potent to part 2's theming around normality. hop off my goat!
BEFORE THIS GETS EVEN BIGGER IM NOT SAYING YOU *HAVE* TO ANALYSE CSM TO ENJOY THE ART 😭😭😭😭 JUST STOP ACCUSING THE ARTIST OF NOT READING THE MANGA THATS LITERALLY ALL IM SAYINGGGGGGG
@awtaestic
I don't think recognizing other people behind the screen is irrational at all. OP's thought process is weird fs. I struggle w generalized anxiety so I understand that anxiety sometimes blows things out of proportion--but anyone who struggles w it deserves respect and patience
when a male character commits a heinous atrocity, the fans hold sympathy towards him and try to understand what could have driven him to that point, even if they ultimately condemn the action. female characters are not given this sympathy and are instead bashed as being pure evil
i think why so many people were appalled (me included) was because yoru became a joke in the story & fandom. the reoccurring "I'm not stupid!" beat along with her goal being forgotten sorta defanged her. but now, we're forced to recognize that she is deplorable, as she should be
i'm still a huge yoru fan, with the caveat that i never actually considered her a good person. she's a positive influence in asa's self-perception, maybe, but also like. her main goal is to bring back nukes. in a story written by a japanese author. she was never "good" & thats ok
love how different aki's design is. like there must've been a point where fujimoto realized how evil a topknot would be as foreshadowing and was like "perfect"
the fact that there’s no change in makima’s current and early design… fujimoto really wanted this character to be a red-haired girl with a fishtail ponytail
@conspiraboomers
I love this bc it implies the coronavirus was created this year and isn’t a whole family of viruses that have existed and been fairly common for forever

the fact that all mithrun cared about afterward was getting revenge on the demon...he was stripped of his desires and any hopes he had for the future...his only remaining desire was to die...yeah......it honestly feels TOO real sometimes
people are talking to me in the replies as if i haven't read the manga or like i'm being dead serious in my tweet...sigh i think it's time to mute this one chat. gootbye
akiangel is so good, at a certain point in time i believed it was an instance of fandom delusion but i was a fool. it's a really great dynamic with a tragic story, and at times the romance almost feels intentional
when i heard this speculation my first though was "oh god, i hope not, that would make me so upset." the fact that anyone would celebrate is crazy. people like that truly aren't real kobeni fans or even csm fans for that matter
The fact I know these people are going to be even louder than they already are oh no prey for me lads oh no
Not surprised 98% of her ‘fans’ are like that but you know I’m still like
‘Get away from her!!!’
@Anime_TrackStar
it's real. he's a halfling, which is a common fantasy race that looks very small and, in this universe, very young. by halfling standards chilchuck is middle-aged. he's even drawn with grey hairs by the creator sometimes!
im glad everyone seems to agree, i was worried the "kobeni is annoying" crowd would find it
im sad that kobeni has such a reputation of being oversexualized and bastardized by the fanbase. i think she's a fun and grounded character in a world as cruel and absurd as CSM
that kobeni had no purpose in the manga.
she was comedic relief (which was DESPERATELY needed at the end of part 1) and what she says to denji in this scene ended up being very potent to part 2's theming around normality. hop off my goat!
it's a shame that we get a few different nationalities in csm (american, russian, chinese, japanese) and yet they are all drawn with similar features and skin tones (especially the women). if we see more international characters i wish fujimoto would be more varied w/ designs
No diversity in ethnicity, and no diversity in women's body types(taken from this interview; ). I think female characters should have different kinds of bodies, the usual skinny girl is really tiring at this point.
"i hate when dog people hate on cats"
i agree! it's very annoying
"yeah, like they're okay with a nasty, drooling, crazy animal jumping on them but they can't handle a cat????"
get the fuck out of my house
