Hitori Uzune Defense Squad

This Blog is dedicated to the defense of Hitori Uzune from Hatoful Boyfriend, not for his actions but from the amount of hatred he gets from the fandom. Disclaimer: Those who are a part of this blog do not condone his actions.

Something I would like to bring up.

Now, when you hear defense squad, in general on this site, what does it mean?

It means a group of people who are defending a character from fandom interpretation that they feel to be wrong and detrimental.

Does it ever once mean that they are defending the character from or for actions taken in the original content? NO.

Then why do we have to constantly assure people that we don't condone what he did. THIS BLOG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A CHARACTER DEFENSE INSOFAR AS THE SERIES, THEIR ACTIONS OR ANYTHING CANON. IT IS SIMPLY FROM THE FANDOM. THAT'S HOW IT ALWAYS IS.

Has Hatoful Boyfriend been a morality didactic story? Is it created to punish evil and tell audience to be good and virturous? I’m afraid it’s no. Never. It’s all just an entertainment including birdies, funniness, humor, oddness, sometimes kinks and distortion.

What I have to say is that it’s terribly nonsense to attack someone just because they love a certain fictional character. You can hate any characters. You can criticize anything. Go ahead. Freedom of expression is always praised. But when it comes to blaming actual people, you have to be ready for many hardships and suffering just because it means a proclamation of war you know. Hey, don’t you think it’s just like religious war? People hurt each other just because “they don’t share their favorite super natural characters”.

"Revealed faith is not harmless nonsense, it can be lethally dangerous nonsense. Dangerous because it gives people unshakeable confidence in their own righteousness. Dangerous because it gives them false courage to kill themselves, which automatically removes normal barriers to killing others. Dangerous because it teaches enmity to others labelled only by a difference of inherited tradition. And dangerous because we have all bought into a weird respect, which uniquely protects religion from normal criticism. Let’s now stop being so damned respectful!"

i worry about the people that obsess over hitori so much

guys he’s not real you’re literally going mad over a person that’s not real calm down this isn’t healthy someone is gong to get hurt

[hitoridefensesquad]

This one goes out to fuckhitoriuzune: 1) Are you REALLY going to make it a point to hate "that cis douchebag" just because of a non-binary kazuaki headcanon? and 2) "Culturally appropriative absolute zero form" - Have you not paid attention to the slight darkness in Hitori's skin compared to others or are we not going to try thinking outside of the "every anime character is Japanese unless said otherwise" box?

despite the "don't have to post" message, I feel as though I should. Because

1) Using headcanons as fuel isn't productive in any real way and will not bring others to hate this character you're demonizing to an insane extent unless they share this headcanon. (NOT SAYING THAT HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE DEMONIZED A LITTLE BIT BUT NOT THIS MUCH)

2) AUs are meant to be Alternate Universes, so how can something be culturally appropriative if in that AU it is indeed the culture of the character?

Something someone brought up to me  recently was:

This defense squad is not JUST for the character but for the actual PEOPLE who get hatred just because they like Hitori. There are many of us who simply like the character. Whether in this original form or as Kazutori, which is one way he is referred to once he had taken on the guise of Kazuaki Nanaki. You can like a character without approving of their action.

There is a lot that can be said for Shuu as a character, but we will not become a bash blog for a character. That has nothing to do with what we are trying to achieve.

But yes, this is a support group for fans of Hitori as well.

[hitoridefensesquad]

Here is official banner thing yes

[hitoridefensesquad]

Also, I personally don't think any of these peoples' arguments will be valid until I see just as much time and hate invested towards Shuu, who is an actual villain of the story and so much worse than these people hope Hitori could ever be. Yes, Hitori did a really bad thing. But have they seen the bucket list of Shuu's bad actions? Shuu is also way more romanticized and glorified. Until I see the hate Shuu deserved since day one, I won't tolerate any hate for Hitori just because of Holiday Star.

[hitoridefensesquad]

i'm sorry

don't apologize. It is a fine ass

[hitoridefensesquad]

i want to FUCK hitori uzune up the ASS (in a positive way)

You are not alone in this desire friend

[hitoridefensesquad]

also how the hell is hitori obviously meant to be hated, just asking, because afaik most of the hato fandom glorifies the fuck out of him and his shittiness. hes not written to be hated. also, why does he need a defense squad against people who hate him for the shit hes done when you say you "dont condone his actions" (which sounds like a wave of the hand btw, like oh yeah maybe he did some bad stuff, his love doesnt change a thing)

Well, what some people say on this blog/whats reblogged isn’t necessarily everyone’s opinion here. I don’t think its so much he’s obviously meant to be hated, as he is more of an unexpected villian. Before Holiday Star, I’m sure there wasn’t anywhere near the amount of hatred for the character.

I know a lot of people connect to Kazuaki, I do as well. And there is NO EXCUSING what Hitori did as alright. None whatsoever. And explaining his mental state is not a way to sweep under the rug anything. I feel bad for Kazuaki because honestly, he was the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Someone more secure would not have fallen into that the way he did. Hitori did take advantage of Kazuaki in a very horrible way, there is no denying that. He was also not in a stable state of mind at the time, having lost the last person he cared about, you honestly can’t argue against that.

As I said in the previous ask, its not like people aren’t allowed to hate him. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. But when the amount of hate gets as extreme as it has, it gets crazy. Especially when people get as vocal as they do about it. I’ve seen more Hitori hate than any other character. Hell, I don’t think I’ve seen hate of any other character, though its not as though I’ve been looking.

This is not an attempt to make people forgive Hitori for what he did. There is no forgiving that. But at least don’t ignore everything else about his character. That’s mainly what we’re about. Hate him, yes. But please don’t disregard everything else about him because of it.

[hitoridefensesquad]

do you at LEAST recognize that by calling hitori and kazuaki "quail boyfriends" qbf shippers and moa are literally romantacizing #abuse and that hitori literally triggers people because of his abusive actions, people are justified in hating him

I personally hate Quail Boyfriends more than anything, ngl. I think its the stupidest thing to ship them romantically when clearly its nothing like that. Hitori doesn’t feel that way towards Kazuaki, his mind is only focused on the one thing, and Kazuaki is probably confusing his dependency for love. I’m not saying people aren’t justified in hating him. People can hate him, yes. But its the AMOUNT of hate that he gets and the fact that there are so many people who literally shit on Moa’s character all the time. I understand the situation can be triggering, but just the way these people are constantly bashing Hitori is ridiculous.

i totally condone hitori’s actions and i definitely think coercing someone into suicide, emotionally abusing and manipulating them, and being borderline if not completely psychopathic about your brother is totally normal, and he is completely flawless and none of those actions are wrong whatsoever. this is totally what i think. i definitely believe this 100%

[hitoridefensesquad]

i pledge my allegiance to supreme overlord hitori uzune

That is beautiful. Thank you for your support friend.

what the fuck nobody who loves shuu iwamine has to put a disclaimer on their blog about how they don’t condone his actions

[klimeow]

coomaru replied to your post:… you’ve gotta be kidding me. you have seriously…

what the actual heck “needs most defend in series” do these people now what did #Hitori Uzune do

that’s exactly my issue. the “needs the most defense” seriously sounds like they’re patting him on the head and dismissing his shittyness, no matter what they say. it reeks of #abuse apologism to me. 

[shuumine-archive-deactivated201]

laughs

no honey we know he’s a horrible dude

we just appreciate the way he was written that made it obvious he wasn’t a really nice dude and made him a good villain

we’d never try to excuse abuse 

he deserves to be hated, he’s written to be hated, that’s what villains are, and acknowledging that he had a rough past isn’t excusing anything, it’s literally just a statement of a fact

a bad past doesnt excuse one’s actions, it explains them

two different things

but liking what a character does and appreciating how much effort went into the creation of a character are…again… two different things

bastardizing a character to make them seem like nothing but a monster for you to hate is disrespectful to the creator

tldr; hate the actions, not the dude/writing

[hitoridefensesquad]

Let's talk about Hitori. I mean, that's what this blog is for, right?

Hitori Uzune was the main care taker at Hato House. Were there adults there to help out? We don't know. But it is clear that Hitori is the main bread winner and would do anything at all for his family. Please keep in mind, Hitori is an orphan too. He didn't just go out and decided "you know what, I want to take care of orphans." No, he was one of them and they were the only family he had.

Now, the Hato House incident. Hitori was out working when it happened. Actually, no, he was buying groceries for dinner so they could all have dinner together. Upon returning home, his life and family was almost entirely gone. This was for the second time. Finding Nageki was the only thing that kept him from snapping right then and there.

Nageki was sickly and was given the opportunity to live a more normal life and get better. Why wouldn't a caring and concerned older brother ensure that he got what he thought would be best for him. And then it turns out that Nageki is clearly having problems and when he goes to see him... Nageki commits suicide in front of him,

This is not me saying that what he did after that was in any way, shape or form excusable. It is never excusable to do what he did. My point here is there is so much more to this character than just that action. But good villains have good back stories. He did everything out of love. That does NOT make it okay. But there s more to him.

I was sent 42 of these. Thank you so much for proving our point.
