Im Thinking About A Fictional Character And Im Gonna Make It Everyone Elses Problem

i’m thinking about a fictional character and i’m gonna make it everyone else’s problem

Situations Anyone Who Has Laughed At The Anti-Vax Movement Can Relate To.

I feel incredibly exposed...

Hanyo No Yashahime/Sessrin apologists: STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD HANYO NO YASHAHIME IS.

Me: You know what I’m gonna start talking about how bad Hanyo No Yashahime is even harder.

“Twisted and perverted mind & logic.”

“They fell in love later on when older.”

[Redacted]’s relationship in the original series had no romantic basis. Their interactions were purely platonic, so whether you viewed their dynamic as romantic or not, was up to you...

However, it is canon that Pedomaru continued to visit R/n and give her gifts. He didn’t just leave her in Kaede’s village and cut all contact, so by confirming [redacted], Yashahime officals have retroactively changed the context of their bond.

As mentioned before, their original dynamic had no romance. Meaning, it wouldn’t be accurate to utilize their initial interactions from the original series as evidence for the pairing (aside from the fact that she’s a fucking CHILD). And because the sequel has yet to provide any development (with R/n being in a tree for 10 years), the writers can’t use “minor” R/n moments either, which is why they retconned their original relationship and used their child/adult moments as foundation for the pairing. This was evidenced in the second opening song, when they used child R/n imagery to juxtapose with InuKag (a canonically, intimate couple).

The writers/designers knowingly chose to utilize child images of Rin to showcase the starting point for their “romance.” They chose to include a title card in the first episode to acknowledge R:n as the “girl who adores Pedomaru,” which you shippers took as a hint for their relationship. Her youthfulness was given more credence in episode 3, when they called her, “onago.”

So no. The fans aren’t applying “twisted” logic. If [redacted] had no romance from when she was 8-11, and we’re now being told that they got together in this sequel, when did their supposed romance start? The twins were born 4 years after TFA, in which R/n was 11. Meaning, she was 15 when she gave birth. Factor in the second opening song and the imagery it entails...

It’s not that fucking hard to see why people take issue with this relationship. Sunrise changed the context. Sunrise retconned their relationship. Sunrise used child images of Rin as the foundation for their “romance” and proceeded to not give “minor” R:n a personality, thereby leaving the fans with an 8 year old’s disposition. They even started the sequel with child R/n and put her in the kimono she wore when she was 8, even though she was given 2 different patterns by Pedomaru during TFA. Sunrise are the ones with the twisted and perverted logic. They didn’t “wait till she grew up.” They waited till she had her fucking period, and decided to turn a beloved character into a pedophile.

Fans choosing to call this shit out isn’t “stupid logic”. You’re just a fucking idiot for turning a blind eye to it.

*side note: saying “he waited for her” is STILL GROOMING...I-*
