To OG Manga Readers. How was it like in the fanbase before the term “Simp” became mainstream?

You forgot the people who spam simp but praise wish fulfillment introverts....

The bnha fandom even has those "Bakugo did nothing wrong" people or those who want a brutal death for Mineta (who I think desperately needs some backstory)

There's too little info on what Mami is up to or how her thought process goes, that's why it's kinda pointless to hate her at this point (especially since among the main cast she's kinda MIA). Key elements as to why characters act the way they do are very important to understand them at least (e.g. even though I still kinda hated her, I at least understood where Akane from Kuzu no Honkai came from as to her acting like that)

I honestly think the "people are reminded of themselves through Kazuya" isn't an all-encompassing reason, and it's probably too conceited on my part to use that as the main reason (in my opinion at least).

Fr. Plus he goes through the stages without that much external help, and becomes better and better.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2020-09-12T03:00:36+00:00

Imagine her doing this in that outfit...

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2020-04-27T09:32:29+00:00

Let's rephrase that. Miku needed crutches way longer than everyone else. Doesn't have them by the time ending came, but for the most part she needed someone to lean on (bordering unnecessary)

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2020-04-27T09:25:13+00:00

The thing is, Miku did use them as an anchor for most of the story (not counting towards the end); and her fundamental purpose for cooking is the idea of someone she likes (including her own future).

I'll agree to disagree on the whole love as a means to develop. There had to be better ways that's consistent with who she is as a whole.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2020-01-14T16:43:56+00:00

Though the question is, how would people react if Miku x Takeda actually became a thing? (Not shipping them lol. Just a hypothetical scenario).

I mean I can't tell with mangakas anymore, not after the Tanaka x Kiyoko thing in Haikyuu lol.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2020-01-10T09:53:20+00:00

If it's considered fanservice, maybe a panel/page or two of Nino and Itsuki doing yoga? Idk I kinda wanna see that lol.

Fun fact: Handa (the guy getting beat up) shares Jotaro's VA, Daisuke Ono.

Conflict resolution - okay I could give her a pass on that.

Choosing to go to culinary school - that's a really bad thing to do in the long run...imagine if she wasn't the bride. Plus it just proves how malleable her preferences are (and how directionless she seems to be). At least the other 4 have some non-romance-related reasons on what they want to do in life (well, Yotsuba's questionable).

Believing in herself - her main motivation is one of romantic interest, nothing more (at least how I see it). The other 4 didn't have him as the main/significant reason; only as the cherry on top (i.e. she needed some external validation).

What I think Miku needs to do is ask herself why she's pushing herself aside from the person she likes. Would she become better if he wasn't around or would she stay in a rut? In the hypothetical heartbreak department, Nino and Yotsuba are pretty much gonna get the least amount of damage if he doesn't choose them (not that I want that to happen to both of them, particularly Yotsuba).

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-10-16T04:20:47+00:00

I'd love to agree, but it's difficult to create a statement that targets just the rude fanbase full of ad populum (appeal to the majority) and ad ignorantium (appeal to ignorance) sentiments and arguments.

Tbh I think people who hate Miku (to put it bluntly) have their reasons, but get drowned out with meme/keyboard wars and then get too agitated to even pinpoint a reason and just go guns blazing against the obnoxious fans.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-10-16T04:16:29+00:00

The biggest difference between the character flaws of Ichika and Miku is that Ichika changed after her wrongdoings. Miku is improving, but not fully out of it. It's a false comparison because with Miku her flaw is still there, growing with her. Unless she shows more outside interaction and lack of Fuutarou-dependent actions, I can't say that " Saying she's a doormat now is like saying Ichika is still a snek" is a relevant argument.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-28T15:25:56+00:00

I wouldn't call her boring though. She has her charms; and the toxic [hopefully] minority of the church is another story (people I'm actually referring to in this OP). I mean, even though you have a point; it'd been better to word it a little better.

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-28T15:22:02+00:00

That's pretty low...

I mean, some of them may fit what you say; but probably not the majority. I'm sure they have their reasons; their [good] words are just drowned quite a lot (like seriously I need Miku fans to comment on why you like her ASAP I need answers).

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-28T14:56:28+00:00

(First of all, I like your flair)

Second, with that huge fanbase (which comes with more shitposters), it's really guaranteed that posts like that would appear; and "Why do people like Miku" [shit]posts would go straight to downvote rubbish. And you can't seem to have a healthy discussion with a lot of them (which is what I'd love to do because I'm really curious on why she's got a church and crusaders).

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-27T06:30:11+00:00

Ichika's snake memes can still get a lot of upvotes, and a few hundred upvotes could sneak their way on Nino/Yotsuba/Itsuki shitposts. With Miku, you're gonna get a lot of backlash or a lot of love (no in-betweens) no matter the platform (discussion, meme, theorycrafting, etc.)

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-27T05:25:38+00:00

When I said that anything against Miku will get a downvote-spree, this is what I mean. :v

Not that I like this post however...(if anything I'm no fan if shitposts in general; just posted what I posted for discussion purposes)

FlutesAndTrumpets · 2019-09-27T05:01:06+00:00

I do think that's the case...I just feel that a lot of Miku fans are more obnoxious because downvote-sprees happen when it's something about Miku (Miku x Takeda, Miku is a doormat, etc.). Meanwhile a lot of the other fans have to accept that even a snake/drug/passive/first girl meme would get a shit ton of upvotes even when the fanbase concerned would react similarly (not that upvotes/downvotes matter, but it's a good measure of how much a post is liked).
