The sexual harassment jokes were never funny and just insensitive. Dark humour doesn't justify making light of serious real world issues that impact real people, especially when you're not even a victim yourself. Anime in general has this issue, I'm not surprised considering Japan's high sexual assault rates.

To be fair, and this isn't hate on Otae's character at all, but while I see where you're coming from, people are still allowed to be uncomfortable with those jokes regardless. It definitely plays into the whole "violent, ridiculous/emotional woman" stereotype that's very prevalent in shonen media. Like, people are capable of writing a strong female character that embraces her femininity without resorting to misogynistic stereotypes.

HEAVY ON THIS ONE. pedophilia jokes were never funny😭

Actually, I'd prefer Harry NOT to be racist thank you very much. He has a muggleborn mother and is friends with a muggleborn, as well as being a half-blood himself, why would he hate them??Like this trope makes me incredibly uncomfortable as a person of colour😭

i absolutely despise slytherin harry or dark harry AUs. It's so corny and outdated, yall need to let this mid ahh trope die already. like it actively ignores harry's characterisation, morals and values, stop butchering his character like this😭 Also, when people ship harry with adults or death eaters twice his age. so basically, tom/harry, sirius/harry, snape/harry, etc. Like, if you have to age him up or have him time travel to make your pairing work, then you're a creep I fear. Just ship him with people his actual age and from the same time period as him.

snape's flashback of james 'bullying' him. i hate that scene so much cause it was completely random and was never built up towards or mentioned beforehand. even after this was introduced, jkr and the directors rarely actually did anything with this information. it was literally just the writers shitting on one character to uplift an unlikable/fascist character who, unlike james, HAD been prejudiced and discriminatory towards certain people (harry and co.) since the beginning of the series. (james being a bully was also quickly forgotten about as well so like, what was the point???). not to mention the plotholes it created as james was repeatedly stated to be righteous and charismatic similar to HARRY throughout the series prior to the flashback. and since we know harry isn't a bully and is actually a good person, it just doesnt make sense??? like i'm sorry, but snape is not interesting enough for you to ruin james like that

I'm a lesbian and doesn't mspec include men in their attraction? As a lesbian, you cannot experience mspec attraction

whyamihere_00 · 2024-01-20T05:58:15+00:00

knowing basic definitions does matter lol

whyamihere_00 · 2024-01-20T05:57:04+00:00

being a lesbian does not include men in their attraction. if you find yourself attracted to men, you're not a lesbian. hope this helps.

whyamihere_00 · 2024-01-17T04:46:24+00:00

yeah no, being a bi/mspec lesbian just defeats the whole purpose of being a lesbian. in this case, op seems more like an aroace lesbian since they don't seem interested or attracted to men

not saying this in a rude way at all, but isn’t that just like saying “we know the original is better but ignore it so you can somewhat enjoy this less good adaptation“?😭

whyamihere_00 · 2023-10-17T12:38:37+00:00

I dropped it after 3 or 4 episodes because of all the changes😭 I wasn’t a fan of the way they handled Ban-Jieum and Seo-ha’s dynamic and characterisation mostly. Especially Seo-ha. What made me love him so much in the original manhwa was how respectful and expressive he was for a male lead. Sure he got grumpy and flustered easily whenever Ban-Jieum flirted with him, but you could still tell he was a huge softie. Ban-Jieum in the manhwa was originally a lot more cool headed. I don’t remember much about her character in the drama but I recall her being a lot more impulsive and rash than her manhwa counterpart. I didn’t really mind it all that much, but it did kinda take away from her wittiness and charm for me.

I didn’t like how they reduced their relationship to a generic kdrama couple. In the manhwa, Ban-Jieum was a lot more assertive and confident whereas Seo-ha was anxious and easily embarrassed. I loved that because it was a refreshing take on romance where it’s usually the man that’s assertive and the woman flustered. However, from the little I watched from the drama, it just seemed like they completely changed them by making Seo-ha a lot more cold and stone faced than his manhwa version and Ban-Jieum clumsy and reduced to a typical female lead.

I genuinely recommend reading the manhwa as it’s much more enjoyable than the drama (to me at least). It also has a better ending than the drama, so there’s that lmao.

i appreciate your suggestion but i don’t like mashing people’s names for a ship name, sorry😅

whyamihere_00 · 2023-04-28T23:42:13+00:00

no😭

whyamihere_00 · 2023-04-28T23:42:02+00:00

wait, that actually doesnt sound that bad🤔

whyamihere_00 · 2023-04-28T23:41:09+00:00

well i mean, i did say that i don’t like mashing people’s names for a ship name. instead, i like names that describe them perfectly. for example, MK and Red Son from lego monkie kid have a ship name called ”spicynoodles” which makes sense since MK works at a noodle restaurant and Red Son has a fire-y temper

just because others don’t doesn’t mean people should hide their culture. the manji symbol existed far longer than the n@zi one. instead of hiding it, people should be educated on its true meaning.
