Overheard in a manga store yesterday: "we need more yuri in here. I've had at least 5 girls coming up to me last time asking for yuri. Everyone wants yuri now". The world is healing

Literary criticism terms I use on this blog despite making them up myself, much to the chagrin of anyone who does not have my back catalog memorized:

are we the baddies: SFF subgenre focused on agents of an imperial power realizing that and grappling with what to do next, in contrast to stories focusing on the scrappy rebels resisting said imperial power

I could fix him (the empire): SFF subgenre where the colonized subject being nice and/or sexy enough Ends Colonialism, frequently tied to the John President of Racism problem

librarian bait: books centered on the transformative life-changing power of books and libraries, cousin to books focused on the transformative life-changing power of storytelling and narrative in general

college brochure fiction: stories where the protagonist has an artfully arranged group of diverse friends who are as flat as paper and whose cultural backgrounds never come up meaningfully

the Dave Strider: character the fandom fixates on to the detriment of everything else, until the weight of that attention warps fanon and sometimes even canon around them. almost always male. it's happening to Gurathin from Murderbot right now

#OP tell us more about the John President of Racism problem!

It hails from an immortal tumblr post by penultimate-step, except not immortal apparently because I get 'not found' when I try to go back to the original. So here's the text:

It's always disappointing when a series makes a big deal about societal and structural problems in it's setting, making readers think it has interesting things to say about the subject, only to then resolve the problems by fighting The CEO of Racism, John Racist, so that all of society's problems would then get better because they promoted a new CEO.

i stared at op characters too long and think oda sameface applies across genders, but women are more obvious because their bodies are also identical and there are less than a handful with with unique features versus men have more variety But! there are identifiable man templates

[limetreearbor]

like i think Most of it is eye shapes and eyebrows, and then noses and facial hair and scars on top. women do not get different noses unless oda clearly means for them to be ugly (kokoro, devon, giolla, several charlotte women including linlin) or they are a mink. men can have different face shapes but honestly i have a hard time with this when their necks are so thick these days

for women there is nami's eye shape and then more post-ts, tareme and much fewer tsurime. tareme eyes are like stussy, hiyori, kiku, and kujaku. i think there's not really "resting" tsurime eyes, like glaring women's eyes will slant upward. maybe black maria? the Most Unique women's eyes i can think of are robin and olvia, perona, o-tsuru (who is ukiyo-e styled anyway). heterochromia aside gunko's eye shape is standard

but i was actually looking at the figarlands including god valley garling with the tidbit that oda first drew shanks and then luffy, so luffy and by extension garp resemble shanks By Design. sabo and ace also have this very circular eye shape. roger does too imo but it's easy to forget because of his eyebrows later in life. men get more tsurime representation in zoro and mostly villains, but they don't scan as "same face" to me in the way that ASL and the figarlands do
