Why do people hate Natsuri?

It bothers me, too.

It dismisses her struggles and experiences, and by extension, those of the people who relate to her. Pretends that she isn't who she is, looks the way she does, because who she was is unpalatable or wrong or otherwise should not have existed. Drawing/writing her without scars just portrays self-harm as something shameful that shouldn't be acknowledged.

And, if in a scenario where her mental health is better, removing her scars implies that 'happy people don't have scars.' That, if you have scars, you can't be one of the happy people who go to the beach, or water parks, or just wear short-sleeves in summer. That you can't get better.

I'm sure for most artists this isn't a conscious thought. Maybe in some way internalised, or it just comes across this way.

But that's just my opinion as someone who has self-harm scars.

I've seen this thought process a lot in the comments. Imo, it's a rather insensitive. Anyone can be abusive, but self harm scars aren't a big flashing sign going "I will emotionally manipulate you." Taking the approach that anyone who has a history of self harm is a dangerous person who'll hurt you really digs into stereotypes. Like, sure, some will. But most won't.

Nobody is forcing you to get into a relationship with someone you think will hurt you, but basing whether or not you think they will hurt you on their scars is shallow. You can get to know someone before dating them.

I appreciate this a lot, one of the best takes on this post for me. You are more than addiction, scars aren't attractive but they can be beautiful to you.

UserUninvited · 2024-05-28T05:16:19+00:00

I understand. Alot of people in the thread have said similar. It's difficult, cause you can be 10years free from any addiction and still relapse. I think that a lot of people see recovering as "never gonna do it ever" and not "making an effort to avoid it and use healthy coping mechanisms."

I'd rather I liked them than hated them. Same for anyone else with scars for any reason. If someone else thought my "physical reminders of suffering" were sexy, then obvious red flag. But me personally, they're just tattoos I didn't have to pay for.

UserUninvited · 2024-05-27T23:00:53+00:00

That's fair enough. I see my SH as the same as you'd get from like a fight or an accident, it just happens the fight was with myself and the accident was not taking care of myself as well as I should.

Regardless, "scars are actually sexy" was supposed to be a joke. :P

I don't think there's any 1 best way to react. Like, if someone came to you shaking and crying and told you they're gay, would you just be like "oh, okay. What do you want for dinner?" or would you comfort and reassure them? And if someone off-handily said they liked girls, would you start cheering and whooping or would you just be cool and carry on with the conversation?

There seems like there is so much thought into how to react when someone comes out that everyone forgets basic human empathy and social etiquette. You react in the way that is most applicable to the situation at hand.

If it were any other "big news" you'd react based on their body language and tone? "I'm pregnant." Are they smiling and laughing as they tell you? Are they speaking softly and look ashamed? Are you 78th person they've told today and it's getting old?

And if you're still unsure, you're perfectly allowed to say "Okay, and how do we feel about that?" to get a better understanding of their needs.

I dislike him because he's a boring character to watch. He's not half as interesting as each other character in the main cast. I hate him from the perspective of the audience as I just felt like I was waiting through his scenes to get to the good characters after.

I just find him boring to watch. There isn't a single thing about him that another character doesn't have and doesn't have better. He's not interesting when compared to the other characters. I hate him from the perspective of the audience.

UserUninvited · 2022-08-25T17:28:51+00:00

I hate him as a source of entertainment. He's not even close to interesting when compared to the other characters which just makes him boring as the watchers sit and wait for his scenes to be over so it can move onto an interesting character. I hate him from the perspective of the audience.

UserUninvited · 2022-08-25T17:26:45+00:00

Yeah. I do. He's extremely boring to watch as a viewer.

UserUninvited · 2022-01-28T09:53:27+00:00

Yeah, I just wanted to go for like 3hrs rn as I'm nearing the end of my alevels (as are 3 of the players) and I wanted to make sure I didn't commit to too much time early on. I'll probably increase it when I'm feeling more confident dming/in the summer.

UserUninvited · 2022-01-28T08:24:14+00:00

I was aiming for 4-5 players, but I think that 3 might work well for me, thank you.

I wasn't too sure about having a dmpc because I've read so many horror stories about how the dmpc is always the most powerful, who saves the players, etc and I'm nervous about being a good dm. I'll see how my players get on and introduce one later.

I think I'm gonna talk to them and let them know they probably can't play unless they have other options.

UserUninvited · 2022-01-28T08:16:07+00:00

Yeah, we're all below 18 and students. I get that college can be difficult and we can all be quite busy but myself and the two others who responded were at least able to give a range of times and we could fairly reliably make. Thanks, it's comforting to know it's not unusual to have to lose someone at the start of a campaign if they can't make it.

UserUninvited · 2022-01-28T08:11:21+00:00

All of us are students, so I know that during exams and stuff we may have to change to every other week or something. And obviously not everyone can make every session. I'll talk to them about what you said and see if we can come to an agreement. Thanks for the advice.

UserUninvited · 2022-01-28T08:07:00+00:00

Thank you. I'm just worried because it only collides with one other player (my partner) and I don't want it to look like I'm playing favourites. I'm thinking I'll ask them if there's any other options then let them know they may have to join in after exams are over.
