Someone said they hate it when Ichiruki shippers make Ichigo Rukia’s vice captain in fanfics and fan art because it’s a major insult to Ichigo’s growth??? Excuse me, don’t you mean Kubo is a major insult to Ichigo’s growth?
Because since Ichigo is the big man with the big sword there’s no way he’d be subordinate to Rukia, despite her having decades of experience and rank over him. A lot of the complaints about it I see are self-inserting dudebros who think of women as lesser than and refuse to acknowledge Rukia’s abilities bc she doesn’t hack and slash everything like Ichigo does, and bc she’s a woman. The misogyny is real.
Personally I could have totally seen Ichigo becoming her lieutenant and being happy to fight side-by-side with the Soul Reaper who gave him the power he wields to begin with 😌
