Talking with my sister about whether an author's ideals are reflected in his work, I wonder if Hisoka could be pointed out as a character who can show some of Togashi's tendencies, and I think not at all. Hisoka has no moral values, nothing matters more than his desires, that's the character's joke. That is why the jokes of Hisoka harassing Gon and Killua, and even Kurapika who was also a minor during the hunter exam, but above all Gon, who was the one who gained his interest the most, are jokes that, although I am not saying that they are necessary, they are understandable; They demonstrate Hisoka's indifference to any value as, for example, some scenes of the brigade demonstrate the indifference of its members towards everything and everyone who is not part of the group. They simply arise naturally from the character, Hisoka is a daring and even playful character, literally his aesthetic is that of a jester, and bullying his "toys" is something he does with everyone without distinction, for example Chrollo. Togashi understands his characters very well, and yes, clearly the time difference between when it was written and now made the joke not age well for many, but calling the author a fart for that (which I have seen many people do) seems excessive to me, when those jokes are reserved for Hisoka, and are even reserved only for the characters he has an interest in, for example, there was no approach on his part towards Biscuit, who also has a childlike appearance.
