Being A New Fan Of Yu Yu Hakusho And Going On The Comments Of YYH Clips And Videos Is The Most Funny

Being a new fan of Yu Yu Hakusho and going on the comments of YYH clips and videos is the most funny yet frustrating thing

You got people arguing whether or not Yusuke Vs. Toguro was meant to challenge toxic masculinity (personally i believe it was. If Toguro choosing to harm himself and others, including loved ones, instead of choosing to accept his pain and vulnerability, isnt toxic masculinity, then what is it?)

(Edit 3: and no, you don't have to live in a day & age where "wokism"/"wokeness" is a buzzword to write stories addressing human or societal tendencies. Just because a term like "toxic masculinity" gained popularity only recently doesn't mean that people weren't already aware of these social patterns and tackled them in their work back then. The lack of a coined term doesn't negate the existence or understanding of these issues, being conveyed in stories even earlier - or what, do you mean to tell me that the issues of racism only began once the term "racism" was coined? Sorry to go that route, but hopefully you get my point.)

You got some people saying that the transfem demon proves that trans people are demons (like bro it's a piece of fiction there aren't corporeal demons irl let alone trans ones. Edit: using a piece of fiction as a basis for your argument about real life is wild Edit 2: should clarify, using fictional material portraying certain themes to make certain arguments about life is fine, it's when you disregard any nuance entirely just to fuel your hate towards certain people, thats when it becomes wild)

(Togashi's choice of placing representation where he placed it is something that I want to talk about some time, but not now)

Then you have the out of nowhere comments like "Sensui foresaw feminism rising in the west... he was trying to save us"

Seriously, did we even watch the same anime

And also people giving some names and addresses (are people trying to doxx others??)

Like I get it that YYH is a 90s anime and therefore people more or less have their nostalgia goggles when talking about YYH

But like damn who hurt you

Ok but what happened to the tumblr app icon

Lowkey this'd probably be how the folks at Whale Island play Go Fish

Go Fish

This all happened because of Ging

also idk what happened to uvo’s arms nor palm’s eyes

hey do you guys remember a couple years ago when i made a post about how the "there are two wolves inside you" saying is racist, and the origin of it is prevalent even in the meme retellings of it, and i was harassed for weeks with nonstop anon hate and racist asks and messages? i think we ought to revisit that. there's a vitriol i see rarely elsewhere in the response to whenever natives and ndns bring up anti-indigenous racism, mostly from white people far older than me. i had 30-somethings in my inbox telling me my ancestors and relatives ought to have been wiped out. i don't have any huge message to bring up about it this time but now i'm a little older and a little wiser, wise enough to say that was super fucked up. and i don't know exactly where the confidence and audacity to be blatantly racist and diminishing to natives comes from. but it's there, in people who would otherwise claim to be leftists or progressives, or even, egregiously, anti-racists. and it sucks
