And They're Not The Only Ones Too - Tumblr Posts

i'm actually on a side quest in finding every manga panel where zenitsu thinks of/interacts with any girl or woman in this series (to rant about this exact discourse) and the main thing i've noticed is how the reasons and compilations of zenitsu being a "pervert" are mostly season 1 source material, aka arcs before the red light district arc

not just that, but fans love having double standards

i looked and found the 1 scene where zenitsu was talking about women's bodies that was definitely weird (rehab training arc)

not defending him on this, this is certified weirdo shit to say given the fact that aoi and the butterfly girls aren't women, but girls, which is even weirder

another scene that people like to call zenitsu a pervert on is when aoi is training them

if we're gonna dub this as zenitsu harassing aoi, then let's also acknowledge the fact that inosuke was just as physically cruel to aoi (justice for aoi please)

another "zenitsu is a pervert" scene was literally him blushing at shinobu

but somehow tanjiro blushing at shinobu was perfectly fine and actually cute?

nevermind the fact that zenitsu thought of shinobu for her sound and her pretty face, and not her body like a lot of pervert gag characters would typically do

aside from his weird comments during the rehab training arc, i've never seen a scene where zenitsu was being "horny", like you'd think we'd see some weird suspicious shit during the mugen train arc, given enmu's blood demon art showing the ones inflicted of their deepest desires, but no! we didn't!

zenitsu does start out as a pervert gag character yes, and i understand first impressions make or break a character to most fans, but i can never stand when this guy's character is dismissed over a GAG, a gag that came up less and less throughout the story.

if we're gonna talk about zenitsu being weird about girls, let's also acknowledge the times where zenitsu has defended girls, not just nezuko, but the girls who daki scared and injured during the red light district arc, they were the reason zenitsu even fought daki to begin with.

Why do people have zenitsu SO MUCH!? Why do they make him the punchline of " Zenitsu is a horny/perv and thus must get hit by someone every chance they get" .Why!?!?!

He mentioned girls stuff( their legs or something like that) ONCE, He's 16 its kinda normal to sometimes think about that, and he only mentioned ONCE in the whole manga...
