The Real Problem Is That People Really Seem To Have Difficulty Grasping The Nuances In A Given Character.

The real problem is that people really seem to have difficulty grasping the nuances in a given character. If that character doesn't act in every circumstance in the best possible way then he/she is already marked in their mind as "weak", "immature" or "evil". Even Kagome gets her shit because she "doesn't make the minimum effort to get some respect from Inuyasha". Ridiculous! She's just trying to be considerate with someone deeply hurt. Inuyasha practically is a person in depressive condition often on the verge of suicide, for God's sake!

That being so... it's GUARANTEED that Kikyo will be depicted as the essence of evil itself no less. Indeed Kikyo hurt Inuyasha in many ways, both unintentionally AND intentionally, but that doesn't make her a witch. At the very least she has some extenuation, and if not that, she can still have your empathy bc her situation too is really awful.

Those people truly think that "good character" means "good person" which in turn means "perfect person", they can't tell apart these three things 🤯 and what is worst is that such statements come from grown-ass men and women, not from kids! Actually the most interesting points I've read about Inuyasha are made by under-twenties, I swear.

I swear to God never in my life I felt the need to gatekeep my fav characters, actually I've always hated people acting as if they owned a certain piece of media and no one in the world apart from them were entitled to talk about it but being in Inuyasha fandom I truly drastically changed my mind 😮‍💨😤🤬

And what is worst is that I don't like AT ALL to be this kind of person, but when everyone around you (referred principally to the Italian fanbase on fb) seems not to get the simplest things 🤯 and have this passive-aggressive behaviour your biggest wish just is to kick some ass.

And not only about the whole Kagome-Inuyasha-Kikyo thing, it's EVERYTHING 😭

Some example:

Inuyasha wasn't worthy of Tetsusaiga/ Inuyasha quite literally is nothing without Tetsusaiga/ if not for Sesshomaru, Inuyasha would never have been able to get Tetsusaiga in the first place/ the thing with Inuyasha is that as the main character he's meant to lead the show but let's face the facts he would never stand a chance against Sesshomaru.

So depressing. Really.

500+ manga chapters. 190+ anime episodes. And still all you can put together is that "A beat-up clunker will never be a Ferrari".

You're fucking stupid omg!!!

The only point I kinda disagree with is the part about Kikyo's wish to see Inuyasha again. Now I can't remember very well how it goes in the anime, but the Kikyo from the manga upon her forced resurrection says openly that she didn't want to see him, and that sounds logic since back then she thought Inuyasha had betrayed and deathly wounded her, so her only dying wish was for the Shikon Jewel to disappear off the face of the earth. Though... Well, of course a person is not made of logic alone, hate and love can even cohexist within the same heart, so it is still possible that deep inside at least a little part of her did want another chance to see Inuyasha again.

you ever think about how all kikyo wanted was a normal life as a regular girl? how she just wanted to wear rogue on her lips and fall in love with boys, and the one time she lets herself do that she's killed for it? and how even when her soul is reincarnated, she is still denied that quiet, normal life? you ever think about kikyo?

WHAT THE...

Just to share this beautiful analysis of Ranma 1/2 ending

Or from killing himself

rewatching the inuyasha series as an adult is so funny because. kagome higurashi does not get nearly enough credit for how strong-willed she was at the tender age of 18. she gave up her life in the modern era, easy access to good medical care, food, running water, electricity, and pretty much every other comfort that she'd known and been accustomed to all her life, and did it cheerfully. meanwhile if the roles were reversed and you stuck inuyasha in a modern office job, trying to send (1) polite email would have killed him on the spot.
