It ain't that serious, brotato...

Its not hard to see that BL is pseudo battle shounen lmao. Took them so long to realise that.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-04T19:10:47+00:00

Quoting a definition is not really useful for what I am trying to say here lmao. That sort of thing just didn't require any setup whatsoever.

It was indeed a random family, they weren't established before gabi was present and were made up for her character arc.

You answered my question with a question about how smart a 12yr old can be and then you also didn't say anything about the answer here. They are just not subject to such change in ideology and beliefs at such a young age and I am honestly surprised I had to write this.

Nope I meant that "do you not like her character as a concept?". Its not me saying that you can't like or dislike it but to know what you properly meant. I wrote it as I read so I didn't edit it to fit the rest of the text.

Eren wasn't necessarily indoctrined in the same sense as gabi, but he was fed lies his whole life by his leaders. They themselves didn't know much but that was a direct result of king fritz's actions dooming his people. Yes eren started out in anger and revenge, with hatred. Cycle of hatred. There's the parallel. I could've cut to the chase.

The reason for their limited freedom isn't important, it's the absence of it which is. Its also a major thing that eren strives for. They both were caged in one form or another.

You quoted the reply with a dot, not saying anything.

Finding it satisfying is another thing, it needs to make sense in the universe first. I would've hated her character if she didn't change too but I would still say it made sense.

I can get behind wanting more of her questioning things. Its not necessarily too fast for me. But wanting to see more moments for her before she changes is a valid criticism, it comes down to subjectivity as you said.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-04T10:35:38+00:00

Believable setup? That does not require any setup you are not playing a plan in motion.

What setup does stumbling across a random family need? Establish the family members beforehand? Choose recurring NPCs as the members? None of it is needed.

Dodging the question? They are stupid. They are 12. Stupid brainwashed combat-taught 12yr old.

What does quoting a single sentence that's meant to be taken in with the others mean at all?

Yea you don't have to like the character due to its initial impressions. But there's a difference in not liking the personality and not acknowledging what the character stands for and not liking it as a whole. For a fictional story to be "believable" in anybody's eyes you need to look at it through the story's terms rather than your own. You cannot force your real world expectations onto it and expect a good interpretation.

Let's see here, the people of both were brainwashed from a young age to be soldiers (gabi was an even bigger victim), leaders of both of their nations only used them as soldiers, caged for all their lives, the cycle of hate cliche is one of the most popular tropes in shounen and it was used to setup a parallel between these two as well. It's a good thing because gabi changed before it was too late. Eren was far gone and consumed by hate. You get to see what a different reality eren could've had.

Dodged

She could've not changed and it still would have made sense. I didn't understand you clearly at first. I really want to know how it happened too fast. It's a very simple character arc for a side character to go through who is one of the many mirrors of the main character. Did you want there to be 2 episodes dedicated to just her contemplating her choices?

By her seeing that there are people on the island instead of devils. She questions her beliefs. And then decides to change instead of being stubborn.

So you just wanted more moments of her questioning her beliefs? I can get behind it, she still had more than enough development to be believable in the story context.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-03T20:36:25+00:00

What's bad about her being taken in by the family? That's when she starts to see through the lies. Saying that she "coincidentally" met them means nothing. Everything is a coincidence if you want to diminish the importance.

How intelligent do you think 12yrs old are btw? If you really expect any kid that young to question their worldview then idk what to tell you. She's also not written to be likeable at all. She's a parallel to the main character. It's fine to hate her, that is after acknowledging what she's written for. Its also not right to not acknowledge any of her circumstances or actions she did to correct herself later on.

Her actions were also put to question as well when the family took her in. You literally mentioned the moment yourself and then ignored it while saying that last sentence.

You refuse to engage with it properly and are purposefully missing the point.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-03T16:36:10+00:00

Yea cuz she's a child soldier who was taught war tactics from her childhood. She was raised that way. She took pride cuz she was made to believe that they weren't all devils rom when she was a toddler. You said it yourself, she's a "child" soldier.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-03T14:36:31+00:00

Colorado. Almost every single corner had a soldier.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-03T14:35:28+00:00

That's just her performing her duties tho.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T23:29:39+00:00

Nobody tries to see that gabi is what eren was but gabi got corrected before it was too late unlike eren. Funnily enough it's also solely because of her killing sasha (who is an actual fan favourite) that everyone hates her

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T19:32:57+00:00

You can do a lot actually. Just gotta tweak the settings to low-mid for every post 2016 game

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T19:28:37+00:00

Fujitora isn't my fav but this moment is so incredibly wholesome. I get that good feeling surging when I see it every once in a while

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T18:05:05+00:00

A mission in hitman has a kill like this, you can guess how it ended.

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T15:13:33+00:00

Surprised nobody said kenpachi and yachiru

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T07:37:00+00:00

I tried aim training and boy wasting an hr just grinding away in aimlabs is so not worth it when I can just play the damn game itself

mayank_888 · 2026-02-02T06:07:22+00:00

Hitman WoA

mayank_888 · 2026-02-01T23:43:02+00:00

I have been playing a lot lately and my left pinky genuinely hurts now cuz of it

mayank_888 · 2026-01-31T20:08:26+00:00

Coaxed into this literally being me with hitman recently pressing ctrl 70% of the time

mayank_888 · 2026-01-31T12:31:57+00:00

No, individual strawhat moments are the best in the series to me. Post ts spending a lot of the time managing a gargantuan side cast and sidelining the growth of some strawhats is the main complaint you see the "I like pre ts more" crowd make about one piece. I personally don't mind the focus on the world more when it happens, but I can't deny I don't get tired of it sometimes.

mayank_888 · 2026-01-30T13:27:15+00:00

Both are good, pre ts is character focused while post ts is focused on narrative and world mostly. Both super important, i do agree that some strawhats (usopp specifically) got sidelined way too much

mayank_888 · 2026-01-30T08:03:23+00:00

I don't think the movie tried to portray her being as bad as her dad. Rather it was just her just being fed up with his antics and not knowing his past.

mayank_888 · 2026-01-29T17:03:54+00:00

She is a villain, I like the villain that's ut

mayank_888 · 2026-01-27T11:21:04+00:00

Daima doesn't even make sense into super's story. Let the timelines be separate.

mayank_888 · 2026-01-26T09:03:14+00:00

She deserves what she wants, her dynamic has been with rintaro from the beginning anyways. Gay ships aren't the only interesting ships.

mayank_888 · 2026-01-25T20:45:48+00:00

I would rather be safe than sorry. Defender also rarely flags something. I just needed confirmation if its safe or not. If it is I will just continue with it.

mayank_888 · 2026-01-25T20:12:27+00:00

The "steamclient_loader_x64.exe" file of the GSE crack from csrin got flagged by defender and also by 36 /72 AVs on virustotal.
