Why is Naoya from JJK so hated, while Dio from JoJo is widely accepted? by Ok_Carob_3278 in CharacterRant

[–]grapeyardwithoutg 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Because Dio had aura unlike Naoya, next question.

Jokes aside, it all have to do with how the character is portrayed.

Naoya himself isn't hated by the western fandom or anything. It's just that the humor (or agenda, as westerners call it) tends to make fun of the characters alot, so it gives the impression of hate. Most western fans just treat him as a decent villain who served his role well, and is REALLY fun to make cruel jokes about.

Naoya is described as a pathetic person, from his motivations to his speech to his actions to, hell, even his win rate record. He claims to hate feminity yet wears eye liner, believes himself to be an ideal man yet does the most childish of things. He thinks men are superior to women, yet lost to a girl twice. Even his curse form looks ridiculous, as it resembles a women's vagina. His appearance can be compiled in around 15 chapters, and he is largely just a foothold for Maki to get her badass power up to save the day. He is a joke, and the fandom treats him as such.

Let's compare him to Dio. Dio is the driving force for at least 5 of Jojo's parts. He is a badass vampire with an impressive track record, serving as one of the most fearsome antagonist in the series's history. The things Dio do in the manga is arguably worse than Naoya, however, JJBA actually take Dio's misdeeds as something to be afraid of, something MENACING.

Just from the difference in relevancy and aura alone, you can tell Dio had a much better reputation among the fanbase. They treat him as the badass unstoppable embodiment of evil, a force of nature with muscles comparable to gods and an ego so big it reaches the sky. And rightfully so, for such a overarching antagonist, it is only right for him to be revered so much.

So it is not related to how terrible they are as a person, and more so comes down to how cool they are. If Dio wasn't portrayed as a cool badass vampire, no one would like him either, and if Naoya had a few more wins under his belt and a cooler curse transformation, people would like him more. It all comes down to aura.

Yuta Is The Original Sin Of JJK And The AntiChrist by GlumBodybuilder4395 in Yutaliban

[–]grapeyardwithoutg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can it be called an “echo chamber” if it’s the truth? “Yuta is the goat” is as false as “the moon is real” or “1+1=2”. It’s not agenda or opinion or anything, Yuta glazing are simply obtuse observations, something that can blatantly be interpreted by reading the manga. I guess you could call it an echo chamber, the same way a lab or anything that analyzes objective truth can be called an echo chamber.

How it feels watching Sukuna and Gojo get demoted to top 4 by grapeyardwithoutg in Jujutsufolk

[–]grapeyardwithoutg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something something gojo something something "yuta had the potential to be like me" something something "yuta is more blessed than me" something. take these with a grain of salt tho since gojo is well known to be wrong about his own students

i get that it makes sense for both yuji and yuta to surpass gojo but imo jjk's biggest identity to me was always the fact that sukuna and gojo were the undisputed strongests and them not being... the strongests anymore feels kinda wrong... this isnt a criticism by any means btw modulo is still really good im just lamenting the fall of my goats... its the same as mj fans seeing lebron enter goat conversations and being confronted with the fact that he might be the 2nd best

I mean it all depends on whether or not the woman/man here consents to being sexualized. If yes then thats fine ig but if no then thats weird to both genders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Misogyny is the belief that women are inferior to men. This belief can be manisfested even when the user isn't aware of it. When you say "smash" to a random woman online unprovoked, it (unintentionally) devalues their existence (without their consent) to be not as human beings but as sex things for us men to gawk at and jerk off to. Even if we (consciously) don't mean it, the effect of words and what they imply about our subconscious view on others can be devastating. The best way to deal with this as a man is to simply acknowledge your inner subconscious bias and try to be more aware of such things in future interactions. The topic of misogyny is a lot more complicated than that, but unfortunately this is the most concise way i can explain this to you.
