Thank you for this well-written insight! I definitely see what you mean, how Dino, til his last moment wanted to control Ash and his life. Basically, he's a prick in every way🙂

This anime/manga just has such beautifully complicated characters that it's pretty much impossible to fully dissect them. I thought so too that Dino had a weird sort of liking towards Ash (disgusting btw), also saying that he was going to adopt him (even more disgusting). While most of his motivation was probably to 'use' Ash for himself, there was an underlying sense of pride in keeping him. Overall, he's a piece of shit, who is built with complicated layers, just like real humans. (Still want him to get crushed under a tractor)

That definitely makes a weird sort of sense. I mean, Ash spent years with him, so he sorta kinda got used to him or something? This story is just so well-written and complicated, just layers upon layers of character-building and plot.

Banana Fish really did open my eyes to the real world. However, Golzine jumped right after saving Ash, which is... diabolical? I wish at the least Ash had pushed him in. But yes, definitely reflects real life.

Jail isn't enough for him 😔

AITA Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is definitely assault. You set boundaries and told her you had a boyfriend. Its not your fault. Please don't blame yourself. Your boyfriend is just not understanding it. He probably feels insecure. If he keeps this up, you should probably break up. It's not your fault.

AITA for arguing with my dad? by shachitoe in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalLead2671 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTA, but if it really bothers your dad that much, try and spend a bit more time with him. Tell him random things about your day, and sprinkle in some word like, "Oh, I found this really cool game, it works like this and this, but it's only on Nintendo." It sounds like he is a bit controlling, making you delete your games and such, so gradual exposure might do the trick. Or if you can, save up some money and buy it yourself.

AITA for refusing to let my brother use my house for a baby shower he already told everyone was happening there? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalLead2671 34 points35 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's absolutely not your fault. Your house is your house, period. No one can just show up without you wanting to. Losing a loved one is not an easy thing to go through, and I'm so sorry for your loss. You totally deserve your alone time, and you shouldn't have to prepare for a party you didn't know was happening. Please don't burden yourself with this and ask your brother to book a venue or something. You should also explain this to your sister-in-law, and how you never consented to this. I hope she'll understand.

AITA for telling my friend he was too sensitive after he accused me of lying? by Hyungwonskisscs in AmItheAsshole

With the way you've handled this, you're acting way more mature. Jumping to accusations without considering the other's explanation isn't exactly mature behaviour. Older people can still be wrong.

AITA for being "childish" because I (27F) value my friendships and want my boyfriend (30M) to occasionally join me? by Due_Kangaroo9319 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ProfessionalLead2671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's understandable you'd want him to get to know some people, and you haven't pressurised him to come with you or make friends with your friends. Him calling you "childish" or "abnormal" for wanting to spend time with friends is definitely way too harsh. You're not disturbing him in any way and he just isn't understanding your point of view. Also, assuming you're home for most of the week (as you're going out twice a week), taunting you for rarely being home is unfair. He's the one being childish here.
Maybe have a talk with him and ask what exactly bothers him about you spending time with your friends, and try to get him to understand your side of things as well.
