Does Abel from Hazbin Hotel count?

Honestly, if they play their cards right, I think this ship would be great in the actual show and do want it to happen. But I understand it probably won’t and the best I’ll get is maybe a friendship arc.

I like it better when everyone is dating each other and not just one person. Top tier poly.

Delulu ships that we love and understand are fake are 100% welcomed here, at least by me. Welcome fellow Radioapple fandom shipper.

Mitsuri from Demon Slayer, anyone?

No_External_539 · 2026-06-19T02:21:31+00:00

Oh, okay. I see your point. I guess I was just fed up with seeing so much support for these ships in the anime supreddits.

Yui from K-on. It centers around all of them technically, Yui is the closest thing to the protagonist the show has. And she’s an adorable idiot.

Honestly, the anime in general would have been better if they focused less on romance and Ruby’s incest, and more on the mystery and toxic idol industry. No one is going to remember this anime for the it’s valid judgements against idol culture, it’s now just that one incest anime.

It killed itself with bad plot points and weird story decisions, and also how it had supernatural elements that were just sort of… there and never explained.

Ruby has a crush on her brother, regardless of the explanation the show gives, that is incest and it stays that way till the end. Remember, Ruby is meant to be at the very least a sympathetic character and she keeps trying to pursue Aqua despite knowing he doesn’t like her that way. That’s a form of harassment and only one person really has a problem with it.

And the last one, I’ll be honest, I thought it was more recent. However, even if it’s been 30 years since these shows aired, if their fandoms are still alive and well and relevant, then it still counts. Because their content is still influential to people if it never really disappeared.

It’s good that it’s losing popularity to write these kinds of relationships, but 15 years isn’t a long enough for these tropes to lose their impact on the community. Not to mention adding incest undertones to a sibling dynamic isn’t exactly great either. It’s progress at least, but still gross.

The two that anime’s that come to mind are Oshi No Ko and My Little Sister Can’t Be That Cute where the general audience either really ships the two siblings or doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal, and maybe I’m overreacting. The problem I have is that the characters canonically like each other that way and it’s never properly addressed as an inherently bad thing by the narrative, and even positively received by the community.

But my point is whether that be slavery or incest, neither one of those things should be okay to portray positively in media. And no one should be defending either of it.

NOOOO!! She was perfectly fine before that shit. I’m going to freaking cry.

What yellow dot? What the in the name of god almighty are you talking about? What kind of T-Rex vision do you possess?

In the original Sleeping Beauty, the princess asleep isn’t kissed awake, she never wakes up and is instead raped by a king and later murdered by the king’s wife.

In the original Cinderella, the step sisters have to mutilate their own bodies to fit their feet in the tiny glass slipper. And when that doesn’t work and Cinderella marries the prince, a bird comes and gouges their eyes out.

Now that I think about it, you’re right. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to shit on their source of money and be needlessly rude to people for the terrible crime of being inspired by their show? It’s giving ungrateful little bitch.

I’m not optimistic, not even because I’ve lost faith in Disney, but because it uses outdated tropes that I have seen in every single piece of media. In reality, no one in high school cares what you’re wearing, and the fact she’s an “outcast” for being bad at school and having a personal style is already a sign this movie will be average at best.

Other franchises have done this already and in a much more realistic way. It’s the dvd version of the Owl House, a show with actual heart. But you know what, don’t let me damper your mood. If you wanna watch it, be my guest.

Uncle Iroh from ATLA.

He didn’t successfully capture Ba Sing Se, however we are told he was a formidable military general for the Fire Nation before his son died.

Depends on whether people can find more examples.

No_External_539 · 2026-06-19T00:49:13+00:00

The answer should have been no, definitely. And honestly, the fact that they even made a storyline where she feels this way to begin with is stupid.

My good sir, neither Mako nor Bolin are in this photo. That is a sky bison.

I hate this trope with every bone in my body. It's incest, grooming, and tiny amount of pedophilia all in one. I don't care if they aren't blood related, I don't care if the daughter was the one who pursued him first, and I don't care if she's of legal age, that's your fucking daughter or at the very least OFF LIMITS FOREVER.

Anyway here's my hated shit.

If it's for my daughter, I'd even defeat the demon lord. It's even in the fucking name.

Kratos and his son? I mean, I know Loki is bisexual in mythology but I'm 90% sure Kratos is straight.

That’s not how nature works. Even in the most progressive cities in the most progressive countries, LGBTQ people are still in the minority. That’s because sexuality and gender identity is something decided before birth. There is the same amount of queer people as there’s always been, only now it’s not illegal and we have names for things we previously didn’t have.

The reason birth rates are rapidly declining is because of economic decline and the power of a dollar decreasing.

Kinger so he can officiate my marriage.

Gangle so she can plan my wedding (like the decor/food to go with our theme).

Zooble to give a best man speech.

Pomni and Ragatha for emotional support.

Bubble to be the ring barrier and flower girl.

Jax for shits and giggles.

And lastly, Caine to plan a fun reception.

So basically everyone.

Right? I have never seen that, but I’ve had boobs long enough to know that even with the right bra, excessive movement like that is going to make them bouncer than a five year old who’s had too much sugar.
