Things.

The Last Day in a Fandom. Reflection, and the Fire.

So, I’ve had fun reblogging things, trying to promote what limited things I can about the biggest disgrace that I’ve seen in a mainstream anime in my life. But things just will have to move on. For me, the 16th of January was the end of my association and love for Inuyasha and its associated products and stories. I’ll never be able to shake off what they allowed to happen. Make no mistake, no matter what a Sessrinner or some other fool tells you, Sesshoumaru would have groomed Rin. Grooming is about forming consent with your victim through subtle methods of control and manipulation. He’s the only one in her life. She never had a chance. Rin, at the age of 8, was led down a path of control by this figure, who acted as her guardian and provided for her. He’s someone she idolized. He then passed her off to others, but even in doing so, appeared bringing gifts. He gave her a “choice”. What choice would a 13 year old whose never known a different life, and never known really anyone but Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha’s friends going to think? That’s the manipulation.

The fact that the show made her between 13-14 when she consummated this vile thing is even more disgusting. HNY was targeted towards a lower demographic than the original, and more specifically targeted girls. This show is not only hypocritical, it’s also saying some forms of grooming are good, Ie, if the girl is receptive, and some forms of grooming bad, namely if the groomer is ugly, or ‘mean’.

This show is a DISGRACE. Please review the show in areas that you can. Please provide feedback to Viz, and other official sources, both in their customer service links, and on twitter in particular. This show, and franchise, has become a weapon against common decency, and sadly against a generation of young girls who it would see be its victims. It’s also become a mechanism for people who self-inserted as Rin when they were younger, to feel validated, and has attracted other darker elements to this fandom as well, creating an even greater chance for exploitation.

Sunrise should be ashamed, but these people are clearly shameless.

When it comes to this show, and to the people involved, and the studio, I say let it burn. Let this thing be done, let the studio be left with a cancelled show, because this show should not be allowed for its distribution. Even the merchandise teases Child-Rin, and often Child-Rin with Sesshomaru. Whatever is left of this franchise’s dignity died with The Final Act. Give it the dignity of a funeral pyre.

We don’t need no water let the mother-fucker burn. Burn mother fucker. Burn.

Anime From the Left - and From the (Far, Far) Right - Unseen Japan

Anime may be entertainment, first and foremost. But art is almost always political. Anime is no exception.

[doombull]

It’s actually really fascinating to see the political lens being placed over the creators and their shows in this context, as you can see that their politics have influenced their art. As human beings so much of who we are is interwoven with different elements.

It’s silly to say art and politics, or art and religion, or art and almost any other sense of who the artist is, isn’t interconnected. Who we are, informs what we draw, write, animate, and convey in what we do outside of what’s necessary for our survival. So yea, this was an interesting look at it. I’d already sensed a lot of the authoritarian vibes from AoT. This isn’t to say there shouldn’t be a diversity in art, but sometimes some very disturbing messages can be conveyed through entertainment, and not for the sake of warning the public not to embrace certain ideas. But for the idea of creating these worlds, to make the public OKAY with accepting these ideas. But, either way, an interesting read. My biggest takeaway overall? I didn’t really fully sense how leftwing Cowboy Bebop was, but now, in hindsight, I totally see it. I see the lines all interconnecting with just a bit more of a nudge. I appreciate that show more now, so thanks at the very least for sharing this for that alone, lol.

I saw a post saying that the feel that sesshomaru might die in this sequel and I’m like please let him die. Just kill him off already. Like what is he doing expect being a pedo and a bad father. He can’t redeemed so why not just kill him off.

I’m praying they end him too. That was Takahashi’s original plan anyways. Might as well stay genuine to at least one fucking thing

[doombull]

A one time post for everyone, just because I saw this in my feed and I think it’s worth mentioning.

Maybe we can help this process along. Maybe we can hire someone to do in this pesky Pedomaru, as clearly no one in Feudal Japan can.

There is one man crazy enough out there to take the job.

Hi, my name is Rin. I was only ever used as a plot device for a male character’s development, and now I’m stuck in a tree to prevent me from aging and growing into an adult woman. I can’t grow, but my sleeves can because why not.

[doombull]

She looks like she’s a young teen.

YUP. Sure does. Certainly would look bad if say, she had a sexual relationship with a full grown man and already had kids of her own, when even in Feudal Japan this would have been abnormal.

Sure would be really bad hey?

[dogs-over-people]

Hello friends, my name is Hisui, and I am 6 years old in this photo.

As you can see, I cannot walk without support. Therefore, I’m 6.

[doombull]

Yea, it’s too bad that Hisui has all these developmental issues, and died at the age of like, 7, to be replaced by their adopted son, Hisui 2.0. Really shocking.

[gojocaninfinitymyass]

The reason that animator or whoever they were got in trouble for their sessrin fan art was because it depicted Rin as an adult and that was not in line with the views of sunrise.

[jojo-ing]

someone probably said this already but I just wanted to say it again

This turns every gift, every heartfelt moment, every caring act between Sesshomaru and Rin into something done by him to groom her into his future bride. He NEVER left, he was still around when she was 11, he was in her life for FOUR YEARS at this point and he must've started pursuing her when she was around 13, that's absolutely disgusting.

The fandom trying to work out and stretch the timeline to try and make this just a teeny bit less creepy:

[piolhyna]

LOOK, Hanyo No Yashahime fandom…

The fact that Sessr*n is canon IS PEDOPHILIA

Yes, in Japan there is a HUGE problem with pedophilia, japanese people themselves acknowledging it.

So no, saying that Sessr*n is pedophilia is not “disrespecting japanese culture” is pointing a huge problem they themselves aren’t proud of. The fact that Rumiko-sensei and Sunrise approve it just makes the issue even worse than we thought.

Jesus.

[kaissimpparks]

Ayo lemme just drop my opinion on the matter before I stop thinking about it for my own mental health.

If you can tell me a legit way this ISNT child grooming or p*dophilia, I’ll stop. But until then, I need you to understand why this is wrong and so very very bad of them.

When Rin was introduced, age known or not, she was depicted as a child. One that looked and acted younger than 10. One that was seen as his daughter by MANY old fans.

If he saw this literal child, and even once thought of her to be the future mother of his kids and let her follow and age just for that purpose? He groomed her to fit his vision. That’s it. That’s what this basically tells us. Even if she was of age to consent now after having children, when we met her and when he met her she was a child. And the ‘father figure turned love interest’ trope is so wrong and disgusting regardless of age. So unless you have definitive proof she wasn’t a child when this happened and she wasn’t a child when introduced, you can kindly shit the fuck up.

Y’all sessrin shippers are disgusting for evening entertaining this idea. This is as bad as the starker shippers, worse than the renesmeejacob shippers in my own opinion.

If you see this and disagree, DNI. Because I do not have the time, the energy, or the want to argue. This is MY opinion, and if you don’t like it just leave and ignore it. Hell, block me even. But I WILL not have that shit on my dashboard for me to see.

That character mattered so much to me growing up and he was my favorite and I can not STAND to look at him anymore because of this. The hurt people are feeling and the way this could and probably has triggered so many is unforgivable. This isn’t just fiction for a situation like this. This is an adult character that canonly impregnated a child. This is canon. This is real. This isn’t the same as people that grew up with characters there age and aged them up with them, this is literal child grooming and p*dophilia in a show that is more than likely targeted toward younger, newer audiences.

[mikamoony-deactivated20230609]

oh my god. do you hear yourself? do you fucking hear yourself.

it is not my “headcanon” that sessrin is pedophilia and child grooming when in an episode that aired YESTERDAY, they showed rin beside her TWIN DAUGHTERS, in between the ripe ages of THIRTEEN—FIFTEEN, and the father being the man who took her in when she was EIGHT. like??? bro??? they had that shit in 4K and you wanna tell me it’s my headcanon??? 🤡

it is canon that sesshomaru met rin when he was a grown adult and she was a child.

it is canon that he gave her new clothes, as well as protection, shelter, and guardianship.

it is canon that sesshomaru gave rin gifts and continued visiting her after leaving her in the village at the end of the final act.

what is not clicking? 🤨🧐

[gojocaninfinitymyass]

Pretty sure it was the studio and the show that made Rin give birth at 14-15 year olds...that’s not a headcanon you fucking dumbass.

[gojocaninfinitymyass]

Gross 🤢 I just saw a tiktok of this full grown ass woman being like sEsSrIn CaNoN yAlL aRe JeAloUs RiNs A aDuLt ItS fIcTiOn- like first off no she’s not she’s was a minor when sesshomaru impregnated her you fucking pedo apologists!

They really saw that teary eyed child wrapped like a burrito and said she’s an “AdUlT?”

[doombull]

Funnier yet, jealous is the wrong word. It’d be envious. 

“ Envy is most often used to refer to a covetous feeling toward another person's attributes, possessions, or stature in life. “

These people (Sessrinners) are so dumb they don’t even understand basic English, let alone math, or really characters and storytelling. It’s a shame their parents and school systems have failed them so badly. :|

[kurgy]

inuyasha came out the 2021 gates swinging by making sesshomaru canonically marry and impregnate a 14 year old he adopted when she was 8

like sunrise said look at how romantic this grooming pedophile is and yall said yes sir right away sir

[sesshorinuwu]

It's real dandy when westerners bully and harass Japanese creators and entertainment industries online. Not to mention giving rape and death threats to complete strangers.

BUT! 🍑

It's very RACIST when those westerners get called out for their bullshit. Big OOF!

[sweet61]

Tweeting your displeasure at a corporation for teasing paedophilia/grooming in a CHILDREN'S show is not "bullying". Please grow up.

And several antis aren't Westerners at all. May I know YOUR nationality?

[petra-realsnk-deactivated202408]

Also we’re going to need the receipts of those threats. 🧐

[queenofshipping12]

Go choke

[doombull]

I dunno. I think its racist to assume that pedophilia and grooming are just flatly accepted ‘cuz Japan’. Those aren’t “culture”. It’s like saying rampant alcoholism in Russia and much of Eastern Europe, leading to people drinking themselves to death in their 60′s, is just “culture”. It’s really not, it’s a tragedy.

[gojocaninfinitymyass]

Shippers: “yes! [redacted] is finally canon! Now everyone can’t complain about our ship and call us pedo-pushers anymore.”

Shippers:

We all owe this guy an apology
