i like Appmon but I hate the rival set-up between Eri and Beautymon.

Beautymon is such a boring take on the beautician app concept, and it’s clear that her theme is beauty bc she’s a girl instead of any nuanced insights about what the beauty industry does to people. Unlike her male colleagues, Beautymon’s special attack is a huge joke about making Oujamon handsome (and not having any real effect), and the whole time she’s just jealous about Eri’s youthful skin or whatever

It was kinda annoying when Mienumon halted genuinely threatening plans just to go after Eri’s popularity (it’s significant that she never went after Astra’s popularity after ep 8 or whatever), but Beautymon is just insulting—especially after they’ve shown us the depth in Eri’s character and her motivations to become an idol, letting us see how hard she works and how much she cares about her work. Having her rival be a “beauty-obsessed older woman” archetype is so lazy, and Eri deserved better :/

imo, a meaningful rival for Eri challenges her ideology, not just her looks (pressures to conform to beauty standards had never been a part of Eri’s character arc). Eri is so passionate about supporting the people who support her, and to bring joy to her fans—she appreciates her fans’ encouragement, and works hard to give something worthwhile back to them. it’d be cool if Beautymon is a gatcha-type appmon that only ‘takes’ from her supporters but doesn’t care about giving back: her only drive is to see how much she can lure her followers into giving up for her or w/e, and sees them as fools who’s willing to ruin their own lives for her when confronted by Eri.

EDIT: Beautymon showed a glimmer of promise—veiled critique of beauty standards? hell yeah sign me up!—before the narrative veered back to “teehee local vain woman throwing a fit bc the heroine is prettier than her”
