Big rant ahead sorry 😅
I'll be honest, I havent liked hypmic for a long time and its not like if I'm that popular or well known in the fandom but general psa: if you like Samatoki × Ichiro please never interact with me.
Like, I don't understand how you could think it's ok, and if you like it or don't see much off an issue with it pls, pls never interact with me.
I feel like I don't need to explain why but just in case I do: its gross, ichiro is basically a teenager and samatoki is a full fleshed adult. And you might say "but ichiro is 19 which is basically an adult" it doesnt fucking matter, he's just leaving teenager hood and becoming more of an adult while samatoki is already one; besides they met when Ichiro was 17 and samatoki was a fucking adult!!!! I don't care what you say this is what it is, that being, basically pedo shit.
Anyways I'm tired of people liking it and not thinking anything of it, or people putting it in comps and making jokes about it; I know I can't change the minds of the people that like it but I can set the boundary, so if you like it get fucked. Especially if you draw nsfw of it, yuck.
Also I think most people that like it have a weird dynamic with it... like I think they infantilize ichiro too much, and that they like to point out the age difference that they have a lot (although this also happens in other ships). I also think they make samatoki very rude and insensitive while Ichiro is like the softer, nicer type, and even thought he is calmer than samatoki, they are both hot headed and it's just weird. (Evidently not everyone I'm not trying to generalize, but it's from what I've generally come across) Like you can like their dynamic as friends and all, like I think they're funny but pls stop.
Also if you want to argue with me on this and defend it, dont waste your time. I'm not changing my mind or responding/seeing your message.
