Have you ever heard of the following concept? 自己憐憫 (Jiko renbin) = self-pity --- There is a Twitter post from Deku’s Notebook👖|| Bakugo’s Sweat No.1 Drink about it. Basically in the far east (like Japan) Dabi's current behavior is seen as the most toxic version of narciccistic self-pity. Always blaming others. Having no empathy for others pain but oneselfs. It's seen in a very negative light. So don't expect sympathy for Dabi in the manga. He's being build up as the ultimate wrong.

That begs the point; Horikoshi, ultimately, is thinking about Japan, abuse, and fatherhood when writing about this. Now, are we absolutely sure he’s going to be traditional about this? Really? 

I’m reading the thread and like; where I’m seeing things, there’s a mistaken assumption that Horikoshi absolutely MUST agree with this sort of cultural idea? 

Now, that could be the Japanese fandom, yes, but Horikoshi? It’s clear by now that 1. Horikoshi is clearly preoccupied with abusive father figures. 2. While there might not be sympathy from the heroes, the villains themselves have been pointing fingers institutionally at the whole of this ‘hero-saturated’ society. So it’s not like Horikoshi is unaware there’s nuance to how this ‘self-pity’ can be expressed. Dabi’s blaming his actions on Endeavor, yes, but he keeps talking about the societal lip service and power given to people like his father, too.  My point is this; if Horikoshi is writing a story about Japanese fathers and abused children, why exactly do people think he’ll do this without critiquing Japanese attitudes about this? It’s as if people thinking that there’s no one saying the opposite in this cultures, as if people in some places have incredibly monolithic perceptions and ideals and there’s no dissidence. That’s not right; no place is really like that because people always have differences. That sort of thinking leads into a lot of racist places, too, because it implies some sort of inherent belief tied to nationality/culture/race that an individual cannot change their mind on.  Listen, Horikoshi’s a writer. He has a story to tell with narratives he’s deciding to push forth. The man is an fan of Watchmen for god’s sakes, which critiqued American imperialism in the 80s. Comics haven’t been apolitical since their inception and the idea that there might be anything subversive in them isn’t novel. And it’s erroneous to assume manga occupies that same ‘apolitical’ space, too.  Now, as a fandom we might argue on how well he’s doing, but the idea that Horikoshi is just writing a story absolutely within the confines of cultural views like jikorenbin and not reflecting on whether such attitudes are harmful on a massive scale (and to individuals) is selling him, and probably millions of Japanese people short.

Just because something is normalized in a culture does not make it right, does not make it above critique, and does not mean it won’t change in the future.

As someone raised on classical music and its history and theory, I get a lot of joy out of the fact that there’s now just this random Edward Elgar piece written in 1888 whose youtube comments will forever be inundated with fans of a DND podcast quoting Griffin McElroy and crying.

Today, November 20, is the Trans Day of Remembrance, a day to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.

We honor those who found the courage to be true to themselves in the face of transphobia.

Although I am not trans myself, day in and day out, your stories have given me the courage to live life to the fullest and not let adversity and homophobia be my downfall.

Those whose lives were taken shall never be forgotten for they are still among us. They are the very foundation of our community. We are not just a collection of random queer individuals. We have come together with a purpose. There is still a long way to go. We must look up to our trans siblings who were true to themselves despite being condemned, hated on, and taken away from us, and draw courage from them.

Violence and transphobia will never win. Community, truth, and acceptance shall prevail.

In your footsteps of truth and courage I shall follow. Now and always.

Thank you.

Rest in peace.

[tonicalves]

A heartfelt thank you to all my trans siblings. Continue fighting, one day we will get there.

the crushing guilt of being unproductive vs the exhaustion of being burned out. fight.

[quousque]

Plot twist: if you are tired and burned out, resting is literally the most productive thing you can do. You ain’t gonna get shit done when you’re burned out. If you do, it’ll take three times as long, take even more energy out of you, and will also suck because you were too tired to do it well. When you’re too tired to do the things you want/need to do, resting is the first step.

IF YOU ARE TIRED AND BURNED OUT, RESTING IS LITERALLY THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING YOU CAN DO.
