Remembering when I recommended one of my friends RGU and she said “I basically already know what the plot is” and then I asked her “do you know about all the incest?” and she was super surprised.

I find it strange how this shows reputation among more general audiences is “sword lesbian show” when in actuality it’s “allegorical deconstruction of patriarchy, gender roles, sexual violence, and incestuous abuse show also featuring sword lesbians”. Like when I watched it I sort of knew what was coming, but I was still completely caught off guard by how much it got under my skin. It’s strange that this show doesn’t really have a reputation for being super fucked up when other shows like Madoka Magica do have that reputation but are significantly less disturbing.

Much of Utena's Japanese cultural context is really hard to access as an outsider. I literally just poked around with a basic search and Wikipedia trawl and found out that Arisugawa & Saionji are both names derived from different ranks of Japanese aristocracy.

Not only that, but during the Meiji restoration and US occupation, nobility were reorganized under the British model, making "Prince" the highest title, just like in Ohtori.

Utena's basic structure includes the premise of a Japanese world order restructured along the lines of British nobility, and this is shown in aesthetics and the class character of the student council and Ohtori Academy as a whole.

The academic institution itself, with its army and navy based uniforms, has historically been the site of elite cultural production in Japan as well. The way these characters navigate personal, financial, and institutional privilege has much more specific context than I realized as an American viewer. Utena as a text reflects not just patriarchy and race but also cultural imperialism.

I was trying to search for a character cuz I'm watching RPG and a NPC really reminded me of a cartoon villain but I really didn't remember the name and tried every description possible and accidentally landed on multiverse Trafalgar fucking Law?

Trent Lane from Daria

Btw, this was the character I was searching for and he's nothing like I remembered:

Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown

[heartisrote]

Ok, so, I have another multiverse Law, but I'm not sure if you'll like it...

Anyways, here's my truth:
