yes the absolute pinnacle of social narrative it's actually super deep you just don't get it

I actually unfollowed her over that. I get not enjoying chainsaw man, but pointing at Denji and Power as some sort of incel fantasy is a horrendously shallow take, and smugly telling you to "read more" was just rude.

shroedinger's satire: it's actually deep until it's indefensible, then it's actually satire and you don't get it lol

adalomaniacal.bsky.social•2 days ago

what do you find so indefensible about feet and boobs

jametc.bsky.social•2 days ago

that fans of that have to assign this big bullshit deep meaning narrative to them instead of just admitting that's the only reason they're there, and saying I 'just don't get it'
but if there's a man who has to get validation from a comic like this, that's a whole other problem on top

also i really would have appreciated if i could have yknow defended myself on your own repost cuz now i just kinda feel dogpiled n stuff. could you like. not assume my opinions for me please

jametc.bsky.social•2 days ago

you were the one who QRTed my post instead of replying, inviting everyone else into the convo on your own page, so that was your choice. nobody else is even replying but me.
it's fine though, enjoy your comic

i agree that it is a problem that people endorse denji's misogyny, that's why i'm bitching about the lack of media literacy to begin with. but like i've never seen a more relatable story about CPTSD and asexuality and working with bad standards of sex. if it's not for you that's fine i guess

jametc.bsky.social•2 days ago

you talk about media literacy and then say 'I've never read a more relatable portrayal of these topics', like... than some shounen manga? yes, there needs to be more literacy happening. in all kindness: read more things. They won't have titties in them though, so I doubt anyone will bother

adalomaniacal.bsky.social•2 days ago

damn. i just haven't been able to get this off my mind. i'm really sorry to tell you this but i'm actually plenty invested in my ability to find media i can find enjoyable as-is. like idk how you could possibly get into the whole animation scene and come out with an attitude of "no fun allowed"

adalomaniacal.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's not just "these topics," like that's my own personal history with mental health and sexuality. if you can acknowledge that first then yes i would love some media recommendations about REALISTIC DEPICTIONS of CPTSD or asexuality. literally the only good rep i see is lilith from ToH
