Kinda hard not to notice the repeat trend of there being a (let's be real here: yankee) transfeminist get popular, get reblogged by everyone, then get deposed of, only for a new (yankee) transfeminist girl to get popular (in part because of her constantly posting about the previous girl) and then presumably everything is perfect forever and the cycle ends there :)

taps chin. i think i aaaaam going to pull a little bit of seven (old kotor2 exile) forward into tirze, in the sense that her weakness to her trainers when being trained as a bene gesserit was Doubt. too weak-willed* to execute her duties properly, and thus not worth any further training.

*prone to not doing something unless she understood the full shape of it, understood why she needed to do it. she asked a lot of questions and that habitually pissed her trainers off.

she also was exceptionally unwilling to hurt people when she was younger, and that formed the other half of her outward reputation for weakness. she Could be bullied into following instructions - she was very easy to threaten into compliance - and her awareness of the ways in which she wasn't as good as other girls made it functionally impossible to improve in time and tune with the rest of the trainees.

What makes Yuji not being seen as a person, as Yuji Itadori, to me isn't even that it's jujutsu society that saw him as a vessel to attract and digest Sukuna's Cursed Fingers to later be executed and later a weapon. (And I don't mean jujutsu society as just the sorcerers. I mean, anybody and everyone involved, curses like the Disaster Curses included.)

It's that even before being introduced into jujutsu society, Yuji wasn't really seen as himself, as a person.

Kenjaku already sealed his fate by experimenting and birthing Yuji to be Sukuna's cage and I would say even more than that given their line about Yuji being "the eye of the storm of a new age" (which I feel is going to play a role in Modulo).

Jin, it's just speculation, but part of me feels like Jin just wanted Yuji just to have a child. I written in another post about my feelings on this, but just know it's not pretty.

Other people where Yuji lived had rumors and nicknames going on for him because of his great physical capabilities. "Tiger of West Middle", "reincarnation of Mirko Cro Cop", "won Ninja Warrior" and so on.

I would even say that Yuko and those boys from Yuji's middle school is guilty somewhat. Yuji was asked about picking a girl and when he objected, the boys pushed him to answer anyways. (Showing little interest about his boundaries.)

Yuko overhears Yuji praising her and while it's cute she has a crush on him, that's expected, it should have also been her sign to love herself more. Instead, she is persistent about being someone Yuji likes (worried about how he may like her new look, asking if Yuji had a girlfriend instead of how he has been, and so on). While it seems cute, when you think about it, it really isn't when considering she's a girl trying to win over a boy to have because he was nice to her. (Yuko is more self aware of this, at least, compared to like Hana who doesn't really have development outside of having a crush of Megumi.)

Of course, there are selective few individuals who probably do see Yuji for Yuji, but even then there are hints where they kind of ignore that Yuji is still a person.

Todo instantly insists him and Yuji are best friends and brothers and while Yuji is nicer to Todo than most characters, he still has those moments where he's like "okay, Todo, please chill and let me breathe."

Choso is a little less invasive in Yuji's space but even in the beginning of their relationship, he kind of just bypasses the fact Yuji is hesitant to accept him because he did try to kill him and didn't really have concrete proof they were related. (We know they are but remember Yuji doesn't really have much to go off on.)

We have his friends and mentors showing parts of this.

We all love the trio that is Yuji, Megumi and Nobara. I do, you do, we all do, whatever. But even their relationship has shades of Yuji not really being seen as a person isn't taken in consideration.

Nobara sometimes sees Yuji as this complete idiot to rival sometimes (not liking the thought of him getting a partner before she does) who has to carry her bags. She even turns down his offer to see a movie and granted, while it's a movie she isn't into, she didn't have to be that mean about it, turn around and ask Yuji to tag along with her as if he didn't just explain a movie he wanted to see with her.

And when she meets Yuko, it's immediate trying to get them to meet and hook up. She didn't think about how Yuji may have felt. She even gets upset at the thought of Yuji getting a girlfriend before she gets a boyfriend despite the fact that she had Yuji meet with Yuko.

Even with Megumi there are shades of this. Just like with Nobara, he can be aggressive to Yuji. There's also the "try saving me" line. It gave Yuji a purpose again to help Megumi save his sister. When he reunites with Yuji, he doesn't really ask Yuji how he is doing first before demanding he returns to the school. When Yuji and Yuta realize Yuta can't be around Yuji in case Sukuna takes over his body, Megumi doesn't really treat it much as a big deal as Yuji does. Like "okay, I die then you die."

The adults are guilty of not seeing Yuji as a person (as they do with others, so nothing new there.)

And again, there are selective few characters (Wasuke, for example, who wouldn't want his grandson to live the same life he did) and there are times characters have shown to care about Yuji being he is Yuji.

And no one really has to care about Yuji when they have no personal attachment to him or is Yuji have asked people to really think about his feelings on anything. He doesn't ask for special treatment. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Again, what hurts for me about Yuji not being seen as a person by jujutsu society is that this was the case even before he became part of it.

But you know who is probably the worst offender of this towards Yuji?

Yuji himself.
