Regarding the whole ‘RivaMika is inseCt gr00ming’
Repost for visibility reasons/tumblr crap
TLDR: IF YOU DON’T SHIP THESE TWO, THEN DON’T. Nobody cares. But don’t throw around shitty claims like this, it’s embarrassing.
It’s really intriguing how antis are straight up ignoring how Yams intentionally and explicitly added material to denounce the myth that levi and mikasa are blood related. It’s downright mind boggling, though frankly hilarious. Not only do these people disregard such proof within smartpass, manga, and databooks, but they also seem to lack the understanding of what a clan entails LOL
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR:
Clans != family.
A FAMILY ⊆ CLAN. BUT CLAN ! ⊆ FAMILY.
OK?
In other words, a family can be a part of a clan, but a clan is larger super set of a family. Meaning that there need not be blood relation between individuals in a clan. And in regards to the last Ackermans, they are not, as Isayama literally confirmed more than once. It’s like these people have little to nearly no grasp of the English language lmao????
Saying that RM is incest is like saying that people with blue eyes fucking other people with blue eyes = incest. Might as well say that Ireland, Japan, etc, and their whole utilization of clans = incest HURdUR. To see them throwing around a word like that in such an incorrect way gives me second hand embarrassment. Bottom line is this: Levi and Mikasa, as is most situations in a clan, are connected by one supremely distant ancestor (which is confirmed in the manga in which Isayama drew a rendition of the Ackerman family tree). If this is considered incest, then the above 2 comparisons I’ve made – which are crazy, right? – must logically follow.
Lastly, it’s really fucked when they say that RM is grooming. First of all it isn’t – there’s literally no indication of that happening within the anime nor the manga. Secondly, to loosely throw around the claims of grooming is extremely disrespectful, invalidating, and downright callous to those who DID have the misfortune of being groomed in their lives.
I’m not even going to start on the fact environment and time plays into how societal norms work, nor how they may shape the development of an individual’s brain as they hit adulthood.
I’m also not even going to touch on the fact that these characters are literally fictional. Like??????
These fucks need to get off their damn “RM IS INCEST N GR00MING” high horse and take a damn good look in the mirror.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
