Idk man, I think spreading all the photos and videos on social media and going on extremely detailed and explicit rants online without any other reason other than shock factor and perceived wokeness it's just not the way to go.
Especially since other minors will inevitably see all that. Just my two cents.
It's okay if you don't enjoy that kind of humor, everyone has a different way of engaging with media and that's okay, personally, whilst i do find some of the jokes amusing, i started distancing myself from that community of gilgamesh fans that's been emerging as of late 'cause i started to feel, well, annoyed by some stuff they've been saying
Yeah, I mean, I also can get behind a certain humor and find it funny like how some people make fun of the way his armor sounds in ccc because it's really freaking loud and annoying and you probably can hear it in another galaxy or how people make fun of his flat ass or that he has a small pp (even though I started to like those features as well and find them beautiful ngl😅 I just accept him the way he is, alright, with no ass and no pp) or how people slut shaming him because, I mean, just look at him that man is truly a whore of Babylon
But some people just get a bit too much into it and it makes me uncomfortable ngl. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned and got used to the fact that if you love character, you just love them. You feel happy when they are happy and you feel bad when they feel bad and that kind of thing. And I know that Gilgamesh is a fictional character and all that but still... I just, I would never understand this concept of love through humiliation kind of thing.
barton, over here in one of my threads right now, after simping so hard that he's willing to just start killing 'bad people' instead of killing innocent people to stay with his partner and remain as a family + so he's trying to come up with a new identity with her:
How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok
Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!
I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^
if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out
Its more like. Idk.
I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.
I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿
