Is This An Actual Part Of [insert family's country of origin here] Culture Or Was I Just Raised By Crazy People?

- a lament by M, but probably a lot of other people could relate to it as well

it's probably either sign (given my past history) or text

Feeling more and more that whatever my brain's natural way of communicating is, it is not the "make words with my mouth parts" that 99.9% of the population uses.

There's probably something interesting to be said about how primarily male-targeted IPs like Genshin or Arknights depict "feminist fantasies", not despite of their intention as male-targeted, but because of it.*


*(if you want to have a bunch of badass waifus who do cool stuff, it would be actively detrimental to show them struggling with sexism. likewise, too much discussion about gender could drive a (pericis) male audience away, so they don't discuss it.)

A Running List Of Theories On Why Cis Male Persona Fans Hate Akechi So Much

> They're the kind of boring people for whom a character doing bad things or opposing Our Heroes makes them less appealing.

> Typical bishie-hate, because the spectre of SomethingAwful looms large over us all.

> Some type of weird resentment over his popularity with female fans because something something why won't women fuck Nice Guys.

> They're upset that girls are shipping Joker with Akechi instead of their waifu and they're taking it out on the character?

> Someone on Twitter said that these guys want Akechi to be their yandere girlfriend, but he's a dude, and it makes them sexually confused. I don't think this is true but it is funny to think about.

Any more theories?
