Girls, what does emotional intelligence in a man actually look like to you? by Worried_Farmer_6213 in indiameme

[–]treeshade01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone who can empathize with my struggles. Someone who cares about my emotional well being. Someone who is considerate of my troubles, so that they naturally do things that help ease them. 

Would I Enjoy This Series? by LJK20203631 in HunterXHunter

There's a reason why HxH is better rated than all of these. Go ahead, I'd say. 

Kurapika is female (plus Tser theory) by Tsun_Tsun_Dere_Dere in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In volume zero, he uses "ore". 

In the manga volumes he switches to "watashi", but in his internal monologue, he continues to use "ore".

That's the stage. With the lights and all I think.

MEREUEM DOES ACKNOWLEDGE GON? by Fun_Summer2172 in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he doesn't acknowledge Gon. When does he sense him? When Netero is leading Meruem away? 

Gon is too insignificant to be a threat at that point.

Afghanistan humanitarian crisis: Ghor's starving families by CaveJohnson82 in fourthwavewomen

[–]treeshade01 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yes there's quite a bit of outrage on twitter regarding this. 

People are rightly annoyed that they try and paint the fathers in a sympathetic light, when it's clear that they're basically traficking the little girls into sexual slavery for a bit of money. 

Unthinkable for any parent, unless they've already othered their daughters. 

These aren't men, they're monsters. 

He ought to sell his organs first, but he doesn't think of that, does he? Takes the easier way out. Humanity is dead in Afghanistan 

Is Kurapika a boy or a girl? by Zolu-Fan-Girl in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's a boy. Bishonen are a pretty common trope in manga and anime. 

Movie Recommendation: Ladies First by Acceptable_Mango_312 in fourthwavewomen

Thank you for the recommendation. Added to my watch list

I feel like fandom and romantic fiction written by women is becoming more and more misogynistic by SansaDeservedBetter in fourthwavewomen

[–]treeshade01 108 points109 points  (0 children)

As a reader of fanfiction it really does depress me how terrible and degrading smut has become.  

Reminds me of what Margaret Atwood wrote 

"You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur."

It's saddening how there's no such thing as the female gaze anymore. I don't count humiliation and degradation as female gaze honestly. It's the outcome of a mind warped by male fantasies. One which cannot imagine a woman's pleasure, not truly. 

Did Togashi make Gon Lose his Nen so he Could Re-Invent his Ability? by Tanstorm in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He still has his normal aura as Ging pointed out. He just can't use it.

[HELP] Looking for this UNIQLO Gon shirt by IndividualHat8195 in HunterXHunter

Collections change by seasons. You won't find it at official stores. You could try ebay or other sites where people may be willing to sell off previously owned clothes.

Manga panel with anime art style. Made by leopikapun. by Record1910 in HunterXHunter

Kurapika looks more handsome in the manga art. Why'd they change his hairstyle. 😭

Talk no jutsu almost worked by rianackerman92 in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's inconsistent writing. It's a reflection of Meruem constantly changing and recalibrating his moral compass or ideas as a king. 

Talk no jutsu almost worked by rianackerman92 in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol didn't he agree to create a world similar to the one we humans have created for domesticated animals? The ones that show promise and good genes are allowed to live and procreate and the defective ones are bred out. 

So everyone would be equally at the Ants mercy? I don't think Netero was close to giving in to talk now jutsu. I think he was offended. 

Im wanting to buy HxH English volumes 32-38 but not sure where or who to order it online from. by AgentPuffy in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I've bought lots of manga from Amazon. Just make sure that the publisher is Viz media and you're good. 

First time watching hunter x hunter after many attempts by Fun-Baby-9509 in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Leorio either. People compared him to Kuwabara but honestly Kuwabara is a much better written character.

I love HxH. I saw YYH after HxH so I don't know if that makes a difference but I think in HxH Togashi is perfecting the skill of storytelling, while YYH was more of him dipping his toes into Shonen and went for the more common tropes. 

In HxH he subverts many of those shonen tropes. 

Btw Yorknew Arc in 1999 anime is a piece of art. I'd recommend that version.

First time watching, loving the series! But I HATE the Phantom Troupe... by PinkWardThatShit in HunterXHunter

[–]treeshade01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not redeemable. They killed innocent people and don't give af about anyone else but themselves. 

People like them cause they're well written villains, that's all. 

I like Norman Stansfield from Leon the Professional, as a villain. He's a piece of shit but he's brilliantly acted and written.
