Hey so what if instead of immediately calling people that might join the Banana Fish fandom when the dub comes out Larpers for thinking of it as a BL, we actually educated them about why it isn't and started talking and posting more about it...

Like one of the main reasons people don't understand the political aspects of it or call it a BL is, I believe, because of the way people talk about it. If people that are passionate about banana fish like myself and already know a lot about it start showing how it isn't a BL and also how relevant the themes are currently (and how they've always been relevant) then new fans will understand it better and there will be no posers and we'll all be one big happy fandom!! It'll also spread awareness of real things happening in the world and such.

thank you for reading my huge ass rant I appreciate all of you.

Banana Fish is not (just) the doomed yaoi people claim it is

It's literally the condemnation of the western society (but I'd say the right-wing capitalist society more specifically AND even the Japanese society, especially in terms of pedophilia) as a corrupt system that benefits the rich and uses the poor

Ash and his brother are the prime victim of this system. A child sold to rich men for their entertainment and a young man who also sold himself just for the entertainment of rich men.

Now tell me if this isn't a current topic with the Epstein's files, the wars never stopping, the prices of everything spiking to the stars, the rising crime rate...

And the victims are always the poor ones or the innocent civilians or the weakest. Kids, women, teenagers, white people, black people, asians. Ash, Griffin, Skipper, Shorter, Jennifer, Yut-Lung, Michael, Eiji, Jessica, even Arthur is a victim of the system. It's so clear, so blatant.

I love this story so much, it was written in 1980, reproposed in 2018 and now in 2026 it's as important as ever. I'll never get tired of it even if it hurts every single time I rewatch it.

Akimi Yoshida did something before all the shit that is going on right now even was a thing. But probably because the world has always been like that and it will never cease to be like that. As shown with the last violent act of Ash being killed right when he started to hope for a glimpse of happiness and freedom. But maybe, death is the only possible freedom for the very first victims of this system.
