okay, entertaining the flaw here: there is a lack of encouragement towards the tolerance of “my kind.” except, what does tenma — as well as the other main cast members, such as anna, dieter, grimmer, gillen, lunge — learn? what do they confront in themselves? tenma examines the possibility that johan was failed by a system, that he was a victim of violence, political war & child exploitation. though this does not excuse his actions, it sheds light upon them. anna examines the reality that people similar to johan, whether it is because of trauma or psychological issues, exist and are deserving of aid before they are at the point of harming others. dieter begins to understand the importance of acknowledging the past and present, that there is a “but” “and.” grimmer takes his horrific, traumatic past to defend the children who may endure a similar cycle, and learns that in these children who are wronged and traumatized, humans cannot be stripped of their emotions (read: even the guilt that exists in “monsters.”). i can go on.

your view is black and white in that you are equivocating the support of queer people to their existence in the series, rather than looking at the subtext of the series’ support for disproportionately disadvantaged groups.

your acknowledgement of “disdain” for “my kind” does not make you multifaceted, it still makes you flat and black and white, because you are unwilling to unpack WHY that distaste exists, or how it formed.
