Blog dedicated to multi-fandom criticism and critical confessions

[the-multifandom-detractor]

A detractor is someone who unnecessarily and annoyingly criticizes something or someone. Fans of certain shows often reduce critics to "annoying whiny haters", which is kind of a disrespectful way of saying "detractor". Hence, the username of "The Multifandom Detractor" (originally the-mha-detractor).

Hi! I'm @atsushis-doll, and I decided to create a separate sideblog for criticizing content since I post so much of that on my blog. This blog is solely for criticizing content, and sometimes content creators. Originally, this blog was for Mha/Bnha criticism, but I decided to expand it into multi-fandom criticism. This is not a proshipper nor anti-proship account, however both parties are allowed to interact. Fans of the content I'm criticizing may also interact, just as long as they follow fandom etiquette, since you're allowed to criticize a show/book/manga while still liking it. Please just follow basic fandom etiquette — meaning if you see something you dislike or disagree with, simply scroll. Admin dislikes internet discourses and arguments.

You may also submit your critical opinions if you wish to in the askbox. I generally won't add onto the opinions since they're meant to be personal confessions that I may or may not agree with, unless the person sending asks is asking a question regarding any content I criticize.

Content I criticize at the moment:

My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia

Hellaverse

Miraculous Ladybug

Yandere Simulator

Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji

Ouran High School Host Club

Magical Girl Site/Mahou Shoujo Site

Rules regarding sending confessions:

→ They must criticize an aspect of the fandoms stated above, since it's a criticism blog. Any asks expressing any non-critical opinion (especially if it's a toxic fan sending hate towards critics) will not be posted.

-> Try to not drop usernames of other people, since it may cause harassment.

→ Any asks wishing harm on actual people will be deleted.

-> Don't send more than 6 asks at a time. It will also take time to post asks. If your asks aren't accepted due to breaking the rules (e.g. non-critical opinion), they will be responded to privately, explaining how the ask violates rules.

→ Repeatedly breaking rules may cause you to get blocked.

Otherwise, all confessions and opinions will be posted. Remember that I won't personally agree with all opinions, but they will still be posted regardless.

I've seen some tadc fans joke about how much Caine's behaviour changed in very little time, while not actually thinking it's something to be unironically criticized.

No but seriously, Caine's crashout at the beginning of episode 8 just seemed so random and out of place. Like no, his speech did not give me any chills — they genuinely gave me second-hand embarrassment. He just became so vicious, resentful and bitter in such a short period of time it felt forced.

We did have some tiny foreshadowing, e.g. Zooble saying how Caine is only nice because he likes them, Caine glitching out at the end of ep 6 etc. But it seems so small for a change so big, it was insufficient. And Caine intentionally wanted to harm in ep 8 — the foreshadowing hinted more at him abstracting or unintentionally causing harm imo. Caine showed a vindictive, callous nature of himself that he never once did before. No, him reacting dramatically every time he got criticized was not showing that. Those moments were painted and presented far too humorously. Tell me truthfully, did you actually get a feeling Caine might become extremely cruel and tyrannical when looking at those little jokes? Why not? Because they were silly jokes to get a few laughs out of people.

What is the meaning of these snowboards 💔

[the-multifandom-detractor]

Letting them snowboard so they don't crash out that the whole of ep 9 was just jaxxy boy and them crying over him

[tadc-crit]

I guess I'm just forever gonna be haunted by people saying that 26 year olds making sexual jokes to and about 17-18 year olds is just fine. That's what I get ig

I mean sure I clocked that shit immediately as someone who was extremely close to getting groomed but. Yeah yeah no y'all are right I'm just stupid, if some 26 year old hyperfocuses on my sexuality and benefits from my sexual exploits I should just embrace it.

[tadc-crit]

Don't pmo 💔

Wait did you have to turn anons off because of Gooseworx's creepy defenders? I really disagree with the idiots saying it's not "technically" grooming.. I don't think you should've had to change it tbh, and it sucks so many creeps seem to have pressured you to. Like. Gooseworx is literally interacting with a minor through NSFW contexts, and encouraging interaction through NSFW art/posts. It's straight up signalling to her audience that if you want her attention, the best way to get it is through NSFW, even if you're a minor. That's terrifying. That definitely reads as grooming to me. Especially as someone who had sexual shit forced onto them as a teenager.

(Context)

Yeah, they were already bothering me in my comments and I decided I'd rather not have it spread to my inbox, at least not anonymously. If they're gonna bother me they can do it to my face lmao

I will say though that the semantics are important, to an extent, and I personally think changing the post to say "grooming" as minimally as possible was for the best. We have no evidence that Adam was being manipulated into making more NSFW fanart for her (even though we have a lot of evidence that she openly benefitted from said fanart despite how young the maker was, but I digress), and grooming is a big ass thing to accuse someone of, correct or not.

To the people who are inevitably going to come on this post to reiterate yet again that it's not grooming: I understand. I get it. I already changed the post. You don't need to tell me for the umpteenth time that my initial wording was wrong. I have my own feelings about it as both someone with multiple friends who are grooming victims and someone who recently realized they were almost groomed themselves, but, like, it's done. I changed the post. You can move on now. I'm not calling her a groomer (or a pedophile. Yet again I never said that why the fuck are people pretending I called her one)

Making Redesigns is NOT Toxic

A while ago AyyLmao made a video about the LavenderTowne controversy and disscussed "problems" with Hazbin Hotel redesigns as a whole. I used to think he made good points about redesgins in the video.

I've changed my mind. Cuz AyyLmao's whole point about how people making redesgins for Viv's characters being bad is laughable at best. His whole argument is that it's toxic because "people are using redesigns to tear down Viv's shows and saying that their version is basically better".

First, it's funny to me how he never once applies this to when people make redesigns of characters made by other creators. Like I remember watching a video redesigning one of Butch Hartman's characters', and I've seen no one call that toxic, yet suddenely when it comes to Viv and her characters, it IS toxic. Gee, I wonder why...

Second, fixing bad character desgins is NOT toxic. Because there ARE objective rules and standards for what makes a good and bad character desgin, and people are allowed to critique those desgins if they break those rules, just like how there are objective rules for what makes good or bad writting in media, and people are also allowed to critque stories that don't follow these rules.

And just like how people are allowed to rewrite poorly written stories, people are also allowed to make redesigns to fix problems with bad character desgins.

It's not toxic.

every fucking ayylmao short be like

"recently, therr's been some drama on twitter regarding vivziepop, let me break it down. this user made a tweet saying how vivziepop isnt a good writer, thats it, they werent mean, hostile, just stated their opinion. viv herself actually responded to this, saying this user needs to shut the fuck up and kill themself, bringing up useless arguements and defending herself by saying a lot of animation studios dont have good writers, as if that had anything to do with this. the fandom quickly got involved, harassing this person, sending them death threats and saying the most brutal, vile things anybody could ever say, also known as just normal stuff us vivziepop stans say. personally, i agree with viv with this, this person should of never tweeted that and vivziepop's works are so flawless and perfect, its hard to hate it. i personally think this person was just trying to find a reason to hate viv cause they are some jealous piece of shit who wont ever make a series *insert ableist comment* what do you guys think? let me know in the comments down below"

and the comment section is filled with dumbasses agreeing

[yapaholique]

the concept of ragatha ALLEGEDLY being close to ribbit but not knowing what happened between her and jax and the concept of ribbit at any point NOT going to her (or kaufmo, because he was there too) to talk about what been going on. the concept of two fem characters having a meaningful connection OUTSIDE OF JAX????

[tadc-crit]

This is how a lot of TADC fans sound atp

[n0nexistent-m0th]

The moment i switched from being neutral about Jax to hating him happened in episode 1. It was this.

A lot of people brushed this off as just another Jax being edgy moment. But I think this scene says something more uncomfortable than most fans (and even criticals) acknowledge. So i'm starting a discussion

I haven't seen anyone discuss the misogyny and fatphobia built into this scene, probably because it’s framed as a harmless joke. Especially if you don't think much about it. The Gloink Queen is just an ugly cartoon monster, and Jax is just a funny cartoon bunny. However, cartoons don't exist in a vacuum, do they?

The joke depends on the audience instinctively understanding why seeing the Gloink Queen is supposedly disgusting. And notably, the character being framed this way is female. Arguably, a fat female. The “consent” part frames merely looking at a fat female body as some kind of violation inflicted on Jax. That mirrors a real attitude fat women constantly deal with everywhere: the idea that existing while fat is offensive in itself, and even comparable to forcing sexuality onto unwilling people. People joke about needing eye bleach, about being assaulted from seeing an unattractive women in public, about fatness being something aggressively imposed onto others.

The show doesn't care that Jax willingly entered her nest himself. The Gloink Queen is not pursuing him sexually, she is not violating his boundaries. He invades her space, insults her appearance immediately, and the narrative still treats this as witty and charming. The joke is basically "fat women's boundaries and dignity are disposable, especially if it's entertaining!" At this point in the series, Jax is not yet framed as a villain/anti-hero whose cruelty we are meant to reject. The audience is largely expected to laugh with him, in the same tradition as smug cartoon tricksters like Bugs Bunny. The scene positions his insult as the punchline, not as evidence of him being cruel. And because of that framing, the Gloink Queen is denied sympathy entirely. To the narrative, she exists just as a disgusting female body for the audience and Jax to mock together.

'no no jax isn't a misogynist he only targets women because the other men are god and an insane man' are you saying he couldn't gaslight kinger into believing things or making him an accomplice or do some im in your walls shit to get him paranoid, fuck up his pillow fort whatever because if he's doing that to the girls he could just as easily do that to kinger, one of the most common ways to be a piece of shit is. making ableist jokes

'but he likes kinger kingers nice to him' ragatha and gangle are nice too and he's still exploiting their fears and insecurities 'he knows kingers kindness is genuine' how they don't know shit about each other

[autism-fueled-by-faygo]

I had to just make this bro.

[suchusoid]

Say it with me folks: a character being morally questionable/evil does not automatically make them "complex".

Morally dubious or villainous character can very mich be a complex and nuanced character.

But if I have to see one more post saying "you want complex characters but you can't handle (insert character who has done inexcusable and horrible things here) I'm gonna blow a gasket.

[tadc-has-weird-writing]

This will never make sense to me

Here's something I'll never understand about this fandom. Please tell me...

Why does Jax get more appreciation than Ragatha does? He literally treats all the women in the circus as his personal playthings and never really learns a lesson yet somehow a lot of people love him for that.

Why does Ragatha get more hate than Jax does? I get not liking someone for not staying true to themselves to the fullest, but Jax is the same way yet he doesn't get slandered for the same reason most of the time.

The moment Ragatha snaps at Jax for putting up with his bullshit for so long and almost every fan goes up in arms. They run to grab their sharp pitchforks, light their torches and starts firing their howitzers at her. And because what? She yelled at the abusive bunny once?

Be so for real, y'all.
