i feel like this is so true and applies alot to the jjba fandom too ngl. from now on if i see someone mischaracterizating a male character like this im calling it 'The Man'
LITERALLY ANON OH MY GOD, I'M SO OVER THIS EXACTLY.. I'll reblog it in a second for people that don't wanna go copy/paste it cos it's so goddamn RIGHT!!
Me reading this post (out loud since im mid rewrite and i read them all like that to get the flow down) And im literally sat like
"FINALLY!! THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING"
Cos genuinely it is this, with every single fucking thing and it drives me insane, like... Oh god, We getting into it again..
Abbacchio's actual character: A man so grief stricken with his own corruption and failures that he uses anger and control to desperately hold onto some semblance of the life that he used to live, keeping everyone at arms length because them getting close means they'll be in danger of him hesitating and failing all over again. He is a tool. He is working for the knife.
Abbacchio in fics for some reason: Degrading Daddy Dom that doesn't give a shit about anyone and is WAY too possessive for a man that believes himself to be (IN HIS WORDS BY THE WAY) Nothing, scum. Worthless. And for some reason incredibly willing to be rough with his partner, even though he could beat the shit out of (as said by Araki) everyone in the mafia if it was a simple 1v1 with no stands...
(Totally not gonna do more examples)
Risotto's actual character: Someone who was so willing to get revenge for a member of his family (Cousin? I think) after they were killed by a drunk driver that after he got that revenge, he joined the mafia because he no longer had a life outside of crime. Losing member after member of his team, his family, that he sought Diavolo out himself without continuing the orders from the boss. They no longer mattered and he was willing to die to avenge the people he cared about.
Risotto in fics: Stone cold, emotionless, hateful daddy dom (Wow look, another stoic/nonchalant character who gets thrown into this shit). Will hurt you, will cut you during sex (APPARENTLY>???) Doesn't care about his team in the slightest and snapped at them about Sorlato not because he didn't want lose them too... No, because he didn't care about them... Make it make sense.
Jotaro's actual character: Locks himself up to keep other people safe because he couldn't control his anger and knew he was a danger even if the poeple deserved it in his eyes. Crossed the entire world to save his mother, was willing to die at every damn step along the way and then once again in part 4 and 6. Was willing to die for the people he cared about... Left his wife and daughter to make sure that they were safe because they never would have been by his side.
Jotaro in fics: Someone who ONLY wants rough sex, hates you, berates you, degrades you. Loves to call reader/partner a bitch, whore, slut... the list goes on. Wants to hit them, force them to "take it." Hates women?? And all around just a complete fucking asshole for 0 reason, but also never speaks because he doesn't care.
I could literally go on for SO many characters and that annoys me more than anything, that such incredible characters get reduced to something they NEVER have been, they are not just "The Man." and I am so over people writing them like they are.
AND ANOTHER THING
Diavolo and Doppio. Yeah.. Let's go there.
Diavolo's actual character: A man so desperate for power and the desire to stay hidden to keep himself safe from everyone that could harm him, that he becomes incredibly paranoid that anything could be used to find him and kill him. A man who feels so threatened that he's willing to kill his own daughter to keep his anonymity, even if he's a terrible person, that fear. That is what drives him.
Doppio's actual character: A member of the damn mafia, who KNOWS he is the bosses second in command, his confidant. Willing to torture, to maim, to kill anyone and everyone to do what Diavolo needs. He is not innocent, he is prepared for whatever is asked of him, and happy to do it. (To the point Diavolo himself has to hold him back from killing when it is not needed) Puts on a façade that makes him seem friendly, approachable... Just a simple man who's clumsy and dumb... Until you get within range.
Diavolo in fics: WOW LOOK, ANOTHER FUCKING DADDY DOM?? Who hurts you, doesn't care about you.. Will do heinous things because he sees himself as a god and a king and you're nothing more than a fleeting pleasure he chooses to keep around. Will scream at you, degrade you, cut you with his tongue because he has no care for you in the slightest... Sure, because a man that trusts you enough for you to see and touch him, would hurt you.
Doppi in fics: OH MY GOD, CUTE BABY MAN??? OHHH HE'S SO CUTE AND INNOCENT AND SWEEEET. A man that will let you do anything you wanted to him because he lives to serve you and you alone.
Get a grip. Diavolo does not corrupt him, he is not corrupting him. Doppio is well aware and willing to commit the crimes that he is, he killed his mother, his adoptive father and MORE. He is cruel. He is not a sweet submissive man that won't even dare to touch you without permission. Doppio is not pathetic. He's a member of the fucking mafia, he knows he is. Stop making him nothing. He is as vicious as Diavolo is, he will kill and he will happily do it...
Why would that make him a submissive little innocent baby? Exactly.
