I understand the impulse to get so attached to a fictional character that they become like a part of your identity, like, Iāve been there myself, but characters are tools writers use to tell stories, and they will inevitably change in ways or be shown in a light you canāt identify with, and when that happens you really need to just take a step back and disconnect your sense of self from the portrayal; see it for what it is in the context of the story rather than in the context of your own personal identity
I've heard that made in abyss is fetishy or sexualizes children? Because of that I never picked up even tho I was interested in it, what your opinion on the manga
oh god i feel like thereās gonna be someone who will not be happy with this answer no matter what i say but here i go. let me just say that i loved the made in abyss anime, and most of what iām about to say applies to the manga and not the anime. i am so excited for the movie sequel thatās coming out. if they get it right itās gonna be unreal. also, iāve only read til chapter 42 and i think thereās 51(?) chapters out now so my opinion is only based on those chapters. and iāll keep this fairly spoiler free.
iām not sure if iād go so far as to say it fetishizes or sexualizes children but it sure does come close. it does feature child nudity. thereās depictions of characters tied up while nude, riko (whoās 12) is shown topless with her nipples drawn, and thereās a bit too many scenes that revolve around the characters soiling themselves or having to poop going on for me to not take a step back and thinkĀ āsomethingās goin on here.ā iāve seen lots of people justify the bondage scenes as world building, and honestly they make a good case, but made in abyss really does a great job of building its world without that kind of stuff so iām not really sure how necessary it is. and the instances of nudity have been defended as riko being naive, but i mean, this is a story about a 12 year old girl wanting to go to (what is essentially) the end of the world, where the only known way back either kills you or causes you toĀ ālose your humanityā do we really need to see her nude in order to know sheās naive?
i have no problem with nudity in manga/anime in principle. it just depends on how itās used. i even had no real problems with the nudity in made in abyss until like maybe the last few chapters i had read where some of the riko pooping stuff and it came off as just too much - and it made me reconsider the nudity in the earlier bits of the manga. and listen, i have no problem with females going topless, free the nipple and desexualizing the nipple and all that shit, iām all for it. but the lolicon that are going to be reading MiA probably arenāt going to be thinking about social justice and gender equality, theyāre going to be wanting to jerk off to 12 year old rikoās nipples.
this may sound a bit like iām riding the fence, and well itās cause i kinda am. so if you want a definite answer to the question ādoes made in abyss sexualize and fetishize children?ā iād say that straight up āsexualizationā might be going too far, but thereās definitely loli/shota fanservice.
Probably the best answer to this question I could imagine
rize look out, the steel beams are falling! oh my god, sheās wearing air pods, she canāt hear us, OH MY GOD
WHOāS READY FOR SOME MOTHERF*CKING MAYHEM!?!?!?!?!?

āIām no good, huh? [ā¦]Ā I hesitated that time. I couldnāt say something to Hina like grandpa did.Ā Far from it. I asked her, āWhy?ā [ā¦]Ā Iāve been pushing ham-fisted advice on her. But when push came to shove, this is what happensā.Ā
āYou⦠Youāve got it wrong. What you felt was normal. No one wants a family member to go through a painful experience. After all, the one whoās been watching Ā over Hina the most⦠is you, Akari.ā
what is this sense of defeat?
