funny you bring that up since there’s a story behind that and my stance on this 😭 I used to be a “you’re telling on yourself if you watch ____” truther before I watched jobless reincarnation and argued with my friend (who was watching it with me) about it. she said she liked it at the start and I was like “why tf do you like the pedo show.” that led to her coming out abt an SA experience during childhood that made the show cathartic for her, since she struggled with humanizing her abuser

so I understood her situation and thought it was an exception to the rule. but while we watched the show, I enjoyed certain parts of it (it depicts the characters in extremely human ways, even if/especially if they’re bad people). I still hated that they made the main “bad but human person” a pedophile and played into it since that was in horrid taste. but there was a lot of good writing despite that, and the way the story flowed really clicked with me.

all this made me realize that you don’t really choose what shows you click with or what’s a dealbreaker for you. I used to wholeheartedly believe people who watched or read Berserk were all into gore and would die on that hill, but eventually realized that depictions of gore was just more of a dealbreaker for me. and, despite it not being a dealbreaker, you can still find moral fault with a writing choice. that said, if you actively defend smth like poorly-handled SA, I’m hella judging you.

berserk’s not the best example since it wasn’t necessarily in poor taste but yeah 👍

Just to go off of your comment. I love Jobless Reincarnation. I understand the stigma behind the show TRUST ME. My friend begged me to watch it with him and I HATED the first 5-6 episodes because of VERY OBVIOUS reasons. But damn, the story is fucking great. I personally dealt with an experience that crippled me for years, and the connection I had with Rudeus’s reincarnation made me feel like I had a second chance in life (no I did not commit any violent crimes/sexual inclinations)

It’s a weird connection, but at some point, high as hell watching anime with my friend, the show got me and I found myself crying silently in the dark trying to not let my friend see. I wish more people would understand this, but I still keep my thoughts about Jobless strictly anonymous besides my best friend who forced me to watch a very controversial show. Personally, I find it very similar to NGE, but that’s probably a hot take.

Rudeus is one of the most honest depictions of a damaged person I’ve seen in media, I aspire to write a character as human as him.

Dawg they literally said just don’t write the character where they marry the person that SA them

2

I don’t think that was their point. I think their point was just to say just don’t write that aspect of a character. I don’t think they were shaming you for liking the show and how well written it is.

I also don’t think that was their intention

Like you said they were joking about SA it did not look that way to me

Could u explain to me how it’s mansplaining so I could learn? I don’t want to argue

Oh I just seen the same post

I think they were trying to agree with you in their own way. I completely understand it tho

yeah I see where you’re coming from but I genuinely thought they were ragebaiting since it was genuinely hurtful that someone reacted that way to this convo. maybe I misinterpreted but I’ve also said my piece anyways. you have a good day friend.

I’m sorry I made you feel that way. I genuinely didn’t mean to imply that. I took down the post because I post when someone blocks me I get upset. I wasn’t trying to mansplain to you at all. I wasn’t trying to joke. I should’ve said more in my original comment to say where I’m coming from. It wasn’t even just directed towards you. I should’ve said I agree with where u stand. I wish that they wouldn’t have written that in there.

for #3’s sake (they either deleted the post or it got removed and I’m sorry either way 😭) but anyways, response to you: #4 convinced me that I probs misinterpreted. I want you to know that it was genuinely hurtful when one of the first responses to a very personal story was to tell me not to handle SA poorly. that said, I was hasty and didn’t give you a chance, so I apologize for that. I deleted one of my comments but am leaving up the other since it reiterates my disagreement with the SA.

No I can definitely see how my message is poorly written. I’m also very stubborn as well. I again apologize for how it’s written when I should’ve said it a different ways.

we both could’ve done something better but ultimately it was a miscommunication and we got past it 🤝

I hope you have a good day. I deleted my other messages and I’ll leave up my apology. I think you will make great realistic characters that actually deal with human emotion. I hope you have a good walk.
