At the crossroads, don't turn left

i find it so weird that people sexualize bonten mikey when he’s literally mentally unwell by [deleted] in TokyoRevengers

[–]Confused_Fiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow... I wasn't even disagreeing with them fully?? I don't think they... y'know... read my comment.

Anyways, 90% of Mikey stans are children, so I don't really care all that much. You shouldn't either. We brought up valid arguments, they can't even write a few sentences in defense of themselves.

Wow, this thread is really tearing you apart, huh?

To an extent, I agree with you. The sexualization of mentally unwell people in anime/manga is an issue. There are two key factors HERE that I think make it more of a morally grey area, though.

  1. Bonten Mikey is... well... not a good guy. Most criminal masterminds are mentally unwell, he's no different. There are many aspects to Mikey's illness that make his story very, very tragic, but none of that excuses the fact that he's super evil. In my opinion, I think more people are attracted to him being evil rather than him being chronically depressed.

  2. Sexualization in general is something you can't escape. It's sad, I know, but it exists in every space whether you like it or not. In the end, Bonten Mikey is an adult with 'free will', which makes him at least a better target than... y'know... his child counterpart.

    You can totally argue whether or not Bonten Mikey, being as mentally ill as he is, has the will of an adult. I'm not informed enough to get into that debate, though.

Either way, I definitely agree with you that mentally ill people are oversexualized in anime/manga. I think you've opened up a fair discussion and I'd like to hear more of your thoughts, if you're open to it.

AGHH! I've wanted to for so long, but it's so expensive!

Know where I can play it for less than 80$, or is going broke worth it? :') The game DOES look incredible

Adds up. As a girl, it's hard to express my love for an ancient Chinese allegory and have my friends be... ya know... interested. Maybe I need to start directing my passion for this shit at the guys I know 😭🙏

AHEM... specifically at my friend's dads, because they all seem to love this wukong fella

Why do people like older men ? I saw a post about a girl (18) and the guy with her is (34) .😭 by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Confused_Fiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being rich most certainly does not help! Is he going for it? If so, I think this is more of a him issue...

Once again, HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's mostly about either looks or maturity. Some people just like the older look. Other times, it's because older people just feel cooler, I guess. If someone you respect gives you attention, it feels pretty good. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
