Genuinely fucking crazy how insane fans will go out of their way to actively misgender a character and disrespect their identity just because one fucking character, who is already established to be a shit person, outed them for being trans in a really disgusting way (and then is immediately punished for it).
Because the crazy part is that not even the text goes out of its way to misgender Gigi or disrespect her identity outside of Yumichika being a fucking freak. Kubo actively respects her identity. It’s genuinely not that fucking hard. She’s considered a woman in the text, by the creator, and is misgendered by ONE FUCKING CHARACTER. WHO IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AS A SHITTY PERSON. Not even Mayuri misgenders her.
Giselle Gewelle walked so “Kirara’s gender is actually really confusing and unclear” and “Mizuki is upset for being called out as a femboy” could run BECAUSE SHE MANAGED TO GET BOTH FIRST
“The femboy is only upset for being called out as a femboy” and THIS is what they’re fucking talking about
While I understand the gripes with how much filler Bleach has... I can't complain too much. A good lot of it is in-character, the stories are pretty good, and it's just more content of my special interest that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
I am enjoying watching the filler again. It can suck that Bleach has so much filler, but so much of it is genuinely really good. The bad part is that it interrupts canon.

Fans: Giselle is a guy who is pretending to be a girl to prey on Bambi and get close to her. Also it's really unclear and confusing what Giselle's identity is.

Very rarely will I be prompted to say “poor omaeda” but him thinking gegetsuburi was so cool, only to be told, basically, “fuck you” is one of those times
Dude did NOT deserve that 😭 he was so happy to find out what his zanpakuto looked like, and thought the dude looked so cool
I don't know how much of a hot take this is, but if we're talking about the villains of Bleach specifically in context to Ichigo, I would genuinely describe Ginjo as Ichigo's most evil and vile villain he's faced. Ichigo's, not Bleach's.
I would possibly describe Aizen as the most evil villain in Bleach. It's genuinely really hard to pick between him and Yhwach, but I would say it's Aizen if I had to pick. However, neither Aizen nor Yhwach actively fucked with Ichigo in the way Ginjo did.
Yhwach is closer compared to a force of nature. Ichigo was not specifically targeted solely or alone (as in he wasn't the final person with casualties before him). And, similarly, Aizen's plans were fucking EVIL but none of them were really aimed specifically at solely hurting Ichigo. Don't get me wrong, both of them DID target him. He was a factor in their plans. Part of their actions were aimed at him. But he was one person in a loooong line of people, one in a crowd that they hurt.
Ginjo, on the other hand, went straight for, solely and specifically, Ichigo. His intent was to hurt Ichigo. He went after Ichigo. He was Ginjo's final destination, his main goal. Ginjo did not hurt Ichigo despite how many others were hurt, Ichigo was not just another casualty in a long line of people, he had many people get hurt BECAUSE he wanted to hurt Ichigo.
Aizen and Yhwach's motivations and goals had NOTHING to do with Ichigo. They never did. Ichigo's existence is a pure accident on the part of Aizen, who was already decades deep into his evil. But Ginjo's goal? Ichigo. The entire time.
On top of all of this. Every single antagonist and villain Ichigo has ever faced was conscious of the fact Ichigo is a child. We are quite literally not allowed to forget that these characters are KIDS. It is repeated and emphasised so fucking much. And Ginjo is no exception to this. He knows Ichigo is young, he knows Ichigo is just a kid, he knows Ichigo isn't even 18 yet. He knows Ichigo is only in high school. He knows Ichigo is a high school teenage boy still living with his dad and sisters. And Ginjo is not a spiritual being who has lived for hundreds of years. He is not someone who doesn't understand emotions. He is not someone who quite literally lost his humanity and became a beast.
Ginjo is fucking human. He's not an ordinary human by ANY means. But he is human. Exactly like Ichigo. He has lived a human life. He is a 28 year old human man. And all of that, in my opinion, makes Ginjo's actions even more disgusting and vile than anything anyone else in Bleach has done. (Aside from Orihime and Sora's parents, and Jugram's uncle)
I loath Aizen with all my heart. His actions were despicable, down right horrific. There is nothing you can say that would make me like him. He is a beautifully written character, and I'm quite glad I hate him. Yhwach is my favourite villain in Bleach, and one of my favourite characters in Bleach, but I will not pretend like his actions were not also despicable. And with no due respect, absolutely fuck Mayuri. Fantastic character, disgusting person (who unfortunately made me sob at the end. Wtf was that about??)
And yet, I don't personally believe that any of what they have done could compare to how downright vile and disgusting of a person I fully believe Ginjo is.
To be very clear. I think Ginjo is a fantastically written character. I really hope that this post does not come off like I don't understand his character because this kind of hatred I have for a character comes from understanding them (I hope anyway). However, if I have genuinely missed the mark somewhere, I would love for someone to just kindly poke me and correct me. I don't think I'm missing anything because I'm viewing this all in context of how they happen, and why the villains acted that way, and what their motivations were. As an actual villain of Bleach, Ginjo is probably third place for most evil. But for Ichigo specifically, I do genuinely believe he's the worst.
“I hold grudges easily” no, hun, you have problems with emotional regulation, and you have severe adhd so you find it really easy to forget about feeling the feelings until the feelings come back. So they feel just as fresh as when you first felt them.
I’m aware this is a really dumb complaint but people keep putting Yuji in a dark raincoat when they colour him in Modulo panels.
If he was in a dark coat, his coat would’ve been black or half toned. It wouldn’t just be left white.
Stop giving him a dark coat!!
Also people saying “HES GREY!” piss me off as well. If he’s grey then he’s also whiter than a sheet of paper THE ONLY COLOUR IN THE ILLUSTRATION IS RED, HE’S NOT GREY IT’S JUST NOT COLOURED
The fact people complain so much about third versions of Pokemon games is really annoying because are you going to seriously look me in the eyes and tell me that Platinum and Emerald aren’t two of, if not, the most beloved and praised Pokemon games of all time?
Keep in mind that we also have B2W2 because third versions have existed the whole time. And USUM are my favourite Pokemon games, and they were only released as two games instead of one because they needed to be. The entire gimmick was day and night and the legendaries were connected and interwoven. Pokemon Eclipse or something could have never happened because the games have inverted clocks. Pokemon XY was gong to get third version, but then it turned into ORAS. We were going to get an updated XY. But then we got the gen 3 remakes.
Like do people seriously forget that Platinum and Emerald are third versions when they complain about third versions? We wouldn’t have Emerald, Platinum, B2W2, or USUM if third versions weren’t started in Gen 1, or continued into Gen 2. DLCs are fine, but honestly I think I personally would’ve preferred if Scarlet and Violet were cleaned up and rereleased in a far better, much more enjoyable, and desirable state gameplay wise and visually, AND possibly included the DLC content to make paying the price for a full new game worth it. Because if you have both games and you want the DLC for both games, you will be paying what is effectively the price of a new game without getting a new game.
Bluey is a fantastic representation of a little girl with ADHD, and potentially autism as well. And I am saying this as someone who was a little girl (I am now a grown man) with ADHD and autism, and was incredibly incredibly similar to Bluey.
Genuinely never seen a more perfect representation of myself when I was little, and I was in DRASTICALLY different circumstances to her. My ass did not have a good childhood, and yet Bluey herself can somehow closely represent how I was as a kid. She's got ADHD, and also probably autism (based on vibes).
Man, the duality of "kids are evil [WHERE I LIVE, NOT ALL KIDS]" and "man I fucking love kids,,, :sobs:" is so fucking real gang I'm ngl
I don't hate kids, I just hate the kids in my town because they are legitimately evil (as a result of the way they've been raised of course). But also I walked past a primary school during lunch earlier and just saw the kids being able to act like kids, and it made me emotional.
Also a toddler offered me a stick a bit after that,,, OUGH MY HEART it was so sweet because they just held it up to me BHDFHSFBJHF I said "I'm okay, thank you" but man,,, el wiwi,,,,,
I can't even say it's teenagers because it's also kids younger than that that act evil,,, ACTUALLY THEYRE LOWKEY WORSE SOMETIMES
Sometimes I think about the fact that one of my tutors is a lot of people's favourite artist. And they're my fucking tutor. That's hilarious to me. (That's the case with one of my classmates. Our tutor is their friend's favourite artist, and we're just casually getting taught by them)
I love them dearly, I cannot wait to have them again in my second year because I stopped being taught by them once my first semester was over.
Their art is amazing, and I am often shocked that they're my tutor. That's the case with all of my tutors. Like... Your art is cracked, you're working with incredibly well-known companies, what do you mean I just get to know you??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN
Jotaro takes his daughter to Disney World Orlando and prevents a near-disaster in the process. Standalone flashback, canon compliant, taken from Chapter Seven of Heaven Baby by SimplySnaps
The long drive to Disney World had been awkward to say the least. Maura needed to cancel at the last minute leaving Jolyne and Jotaro alone for a daddy/daughter bonding day. Once they arrived at the park things seemed to liven up a little. It was hard to be bored at such a magical place, and awkward silences were impossible when your ears were being blown out by the stampede of eager families desperate to get their money’s worth. Jotaro had just bought them lunch and sat them down at a picnic table by the shade.
Jolyne bit into her enormous pretzel and stared in reverence at her 48 oz lemonade. It was difficult to believe such wonders even existed, much less within her grasp. Jotaro had a simple hot dog and ketchup along with a water bottle he’d been nursing the entire day. They watched the people walk by for a few minutes without a word. Jolyne couldn’t help but frown at all the families that looked “intact.” She wished Maura had been able to come.
“Do you think we’ll come down again this year with Mom?” She asked between bites of her barn-sized pretzel.
“Yeah, of course.” Jotaro put his water down. “Gotta get our value out of those season passes.”
The father’s cell phone beeped right after he finished his hot dog. He pulled it from his jacket and squinted to see the screen in daylight. Jolyne already had an idea of what was going on. Her dad’s phone always beeped like that when he was about to get up and leave the room. Sometimes it would only be a few minutes, but there were rare occasions when he’d pack a bag and leave for days at a time after one of those beeps. Jotaro’s eyes flicked to meet Jolyne’s in recognition of her anxiety.
“It’s nothing. I just need to make a quick call. Will you be alright if I step away?”
It was a pretty quiet area. Jolyne looked around for a moment before nodding.
“Alright. I’ll stay in eyeshot. Lemme know if you need another pretzel.” He stood up and dialed a number. With that, he was gone.
Jolyne kicked her feet in boredom as she watched the families go by. She saw Jotaro standing in the distance and wondered why he couldn’t just take the call at the picnic table? There were people all around him, so it wasn’t like he was keeping some huge secret. That had to mean he just didn’t want Jolyne to hear whatever the call was about. That made a pit form in her stomach. Why couldn’t her dad just tell her what was going on? She was so tired of the tension at home. Even at nine-years-old she could tell something was wrong.
Jotaro took a bit longer on the phone than Jolyne expected. He’d said it was just a quick call. Jolyne had finished her lunch and was flicking tiny bits of salt across the picnic table when a shadow cast across the surface and alerted her of someone’s presence. She turned to see a man she’d never met before standing right behind her table. Jolyne was immediately unsettled by just how close the stranger was standing, and it didn’t help that he seemed to be alone. Where were his kids? She swallowed anxiously as the man towered over her.
“Hello,” The stranger smiled. “You’re Jolyne, right?”
She looked past the man to see if Jotaro was still on the phone. The girl’s stomach plummeted when she found that her father had seemingly disappeared. He said he’d stay in eyeshot! Jolyne’s eyes darted back to the stranger as he blocked out the sun, silhouetting his head and making it difficult to focus on any features.
“Listen, your old man asked me if I could come get you.” The man explained.
“Where is he?” Jolyne scooted back on the picnic bench.
“He needed to go to the car to grab something, said it was important. That’s why he asked me to grab you.”
“Why didn’t he just grab me himself…?” Jolyne frowned.
“Your dad’s upset, alright? I didn’t ask any questions. I’m just trying to help him so I can get back to my wife and kids. So c’mon already.” The man grabbed Jolyne’s wrist and pulled her up from the bench.
“H-Hey!” She whined.
“Don’t make a scene, I’m just bringing you to your-” The man turned to drag Jolyne out of the picnic area but was stopped mid-sentence when he bumped into an immovable object. While he seemed massive to a little girl like Jolyne, this stranger was small potatoes compared to a truly large man. That’s why he looked so surprised as his glasses clinked against the firm chest of a bigger fish.
Jotaro was back, and he said nothing.
“Oh! H-Hey! There he is! I guess he’s back from the car.” The stranger released Jolyne and hid his hands behind his back.
The father’s expression was unnervingly cold. He didn’t scream at the predator, but he clearly wasn’t about to let things go. After five seconds of absolute silence, Jotaro reached his hand down and slipped it into the man’s pocket. The stranger was so terrified that he didn’t even fight back. Jotaro took the man’s wallet and opened it carefully.
“Matthew Lake, thirty-six-years-old, lives in Jacksonville.” Jotaro mumbled, dragging his eyes from Matthew’s driver’s license, and glaring into his very soul. “You know Matthew, you might be the luckiest man I’ve ever met.”
“W-What…?” Matthew stammered. He was sweating bullets, and it wasn’t because of the Florida sun.
Jotaro took one step closer, bumping their chests together as he stared down at the cowering monster before him. “I said you’re lucky because nothing’s actually happened yet. If you’d taken three more steps with my daughter, I’d be sending you back to Jacksonville on a life flight.”
That shocked Matthew back to reality. He swiped his wallet back from Jotaro and brushed past him. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, man. I was just asking her where the bathrooms were.”
Jotaro grabbed Matthew’s wrist and squeezed it hard enough to rip a cry from the man’s lungs. It was almost an impossible strength for a human hand to have, and the force brought Matthew to submission once again. He fell onto one knee and clenched his jaw.
“Jojo, did this man ask you where the bathrooms were?” Jotaro asked in his typical tone.
All she could do was shake her head.
“Hmmm. Thirty-six is a little young to be experiencing memory loss, Matthew. We might need to call 911 to get you checked out.”
Matthew struggled against the agonizing grip on his wrist, but each effort to break free only resulted in the hold tightening. He was genuinely terrified that this man might shatter his arm. Where was that strength coming from!? He looked up just in time to see Jotaro adjusting the rim of his hat with a scowl.
“C’mon man, gimme a break! I wasn’t gonna do anything!” Matthew shouted.
At this point a small crowd gathered around the developing conflict. A few people even took pictures with their disposable cameras. Matthew continued to struggle against the man’s iron grip to no avail. “Agh! What’re you gonna do? Call the police? It’s not illegal to ask someone for directions!”
“No, that would turn this into a whole thing.” Jotaro sighed. “I’m trying to have a nice day out with my daughter. I don’t want to spend the rest of it giving a statement to the police.”
“Good! Then let go!” Matthew hissed.
Jotaro yanked the man to his feet without breaking a sweat. He didn’t let go of that wrist, though. Instead, he pulled it against his own chest and stared down at the predator. “You’re going home, understand? 488 Reilly Junction, Jacksonville Florida. If I see you around the park again, I’m paying you a visit myself.” He spoke quietly so only Matthew would hear the threat.
Matthew was almost in tears as he nodded in agreement. “F-Fine! Please, just let me go.”
Jotaro released the man’s wrist and bumped him away with his chest. “Don’t get lost again, Matthew. I don’t wanna hear you’ve asked anyone else for directions.”
The man scrambled away with pained whines as he clutched his wrist. After a minute or so the crowd dispersed. Jotaro finally turned his attention back to Jolyne. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah,” She tried to act tough, but the situation was obviously scary.
“That’s my girl.” He brought her in with one arm, holding her face against his stomach and giving her a gentle pat on the back.
Jolyne’s eyes widened and she quickly hugged her father back. It wasn’t every day her dad dealt out hugs. She closed her eyes and savored the moment. “I thought you were gone.”
“I’m always close by,” Jotaro shook his head. “I’d never let anything happen to you, Jojo. You know that, right?”
“Promise? You’ll always be here to stop guys like that?”
Jotaro actually smiled. If that’s all he needed to do? “Promise.”
Trying to verbally abuse and manipulate an autistic person with a strong sense of justice is so funny ngl because wdym I’m stupid for getting lost in a game you play religiously?
Bitch IVE NEVER PLAYED THE GAME BEFORE AND IM 14 SHUT YOUR BITCH ASS UP also you went ahead without waiting for me, fuck you
Why are you asking if I’m stupid for pressing and waiting at the lights (I live in the UK, jaywalking isn’t a thing)? I don’t care if the road is small and you live here, I’ve never been here before and I don’t want to take any chances.
Like dude you are talking to the brick wall. I’m not going to start doubting my intelligence and thinking “oh yeah maybe I am stupid” (I mean I am but not for the reasons he’s criticising), you’re just really hurting my feelings. In fact, I’m judging YOU for that shit.
There is a level of irony in writing the MC of your prequel movies to be a kind soul who accepts and loves the very beings everyone else hates and are trying to control or get rid of when they aren't doing anything to harm anyone, when you yourself as a writer are trying to eradicate a group of people who aren't doing anything to hurt you or anyone else by harassing them, inciting harm against them, and financial backing "charities" and political parties designed and intended to harm them.
