this has the same energy as the vine that’s like “my little brother pushed me today so I’m starting a kickstarter to have him put down, the benefits of killing him would be I would get pushed way less”

People are drawn to characters like Reigen or Aizawa because they are simultaneously non-threatening while also having the ability to protect people around them. Granted, this shows itself in very different ways for each character, but I think it boils down to the same thing: people like male characters who, if they actually existed, would protect them in troubling circumstances.

They are both extremely kind and caring men who have the ability to stand up and protect the people around them. They will take care of you and make sure you’re doing okay, both mentally and physically, even if from an outside perspective this seems out of character for them. They both have problems, obviously, but when it comes down to it they are just kind. They care deeply for the people around them and will do anything they can to protect them.

Not to mention the fact that so many people just don’t have good father figures in their lives, so characters like Reigen and Aizawa —men who show kindness and tenderness towards children, who act as parental figures even if they aren’t actual parents— will be another sense of comfort for fans who never had that sort of figure in their lives. They act as a fan service for fans who have never had men like them in their lives but so desperately wish they had.

Another thing is lots of MLM (men loving men) and/or ace/aro people will see themselves in these characters, since they are both men who have neve had any significant relationships/specifically relationships with women so it is very easy to read them as not heterosexual. Whether theyre seen as gay, bisexual, asexual, etc depends on the fan, but there is no denying that they definitely fit a non-straight narative.

In conclusion, it isn’t a mystery that so manypeople are drawn to characters like Reigen or Aizawa. They are non-threatening —yet strong— men who take on a parental/mentor role for children that need that in their lives, and they also can very easily be read as not heterosexual. They are the ideal of what so many people wish men were like, which makes them a huge comfort to people who have difficult relationships with men in real life.

also theyre sexie

if Breath of the Wild didn’t want me to fall in love with Prince Sidon they shouldn’t have made him chivalrous, earnest, kind, loyal, brave, a little dumb, and 9 feet tall with a mouth full of knives

not to tell people what to do but as someone who’s been in fandom since i was like twelve, i promise that the only good fandom experience involves limiting your friend circle to, like, seven people. when you’re in a city, you don’t make friends with every douchebag on the street. stringently vet the people who are allowed to influence you. in an age of people and companies constantly demanding your attention and energy, your happiness will grow best like flowers in a greenhouse in a terrible city; a contained, curated space allows happiness to flourish. keep it small and don’t be sorry to tell people to stay the fuck out of your greenhouse.
