#Justification but it was enough to make the net emotional payoff gratifying rather than shameful in the short term. Also he's not racist

I think the problem with a lot of Geto analysis online cannot truly understand that he's a victim and abusive. Like I'll straight up say jujutsu society is abusive and exploitative and he had to deal with three people his age and younger Dying (Satoru he was supposed to be working with, Riko was literally. There. And then Haibara who y'know. Is his junior so there's a level of protection and teaching they're supposed to have) and I can yap about my opinions on some of the stuff that's implied but also. HES A CULT LEADER AND CULTS ARE ABUSIVE. Even in his short interaction with the women he helps he is rude demeaning and manipulative (idk how to describe the name thing he's just fucking weird) he's willing to just Murder People in cold blood and he's a eugenicist who dehumanizes people and compares them to animals like. And even with sorcerers who he "respects" like. Do I need to explain how eugenics interacts with bodily autonomy or is that generally understood. I'll say straight up that I think he basically just copy pasted power dynamics from Jujutsu society (basically why I call him a victim of that. Jujutsu society is a-ok with child murder let's all remember that) but just bc they're learned doesn't make them Less Abusive (it just points to a bigger problem)
He contains multitudes and some of the multitudes involve being traumatized and physically assaulted as a child and others involve being a hateful person who decided that lateral violence feels good
#JJK#Y'know what? IDC how mean you are to Geto I hope he burns in hell or whatever. But like do not downplay the fact that#Riko got murdered and Nanako and Mimiko were being abused. Which like. You don't have to respect him but to fully acknowledge both those#Things you have to acknowledge the fact that they were TRAUMATIZING FOR HIM because he was forced not just to witness but also to#Fucking deal with the consequences of intense human suffering. But also DONT REDUCE RIKO NANAKO AND MIMIKO TO THEIR EFFECTS ON GETO#they affected him (human suffering human connection) but most of all THEYYYYY WERE AFFECTEDDDDD BECAUSE THEY WERE THE VICTIMSSSSS#gonna start biting ppl. ''oh he's traumatized so he's racist?'' no he's traumatized so he's lashing out and the society he was raised in#Prioritized strength over actually understanding that human lives have value so he found it easy and gratifying to target people#In a way that ''proved'' his strength and superiority and that he could justify with ''well there won't be curses'' which is a shitty#Justification but it was enough to make the net emotional payoff gratifying rather than shameful in the short term. Also he's not racist#Because he hates ppl who aren't sorcerers he's racist because most sorcerers are Japanese#Which means most of his targets would be y'know. Ppl of color and already marginalized ppl which going back to the Kenjaku rant#You can still be racist without hatred if you live in a racist society and don't fight against the basic racism but rather just let it exis#Unchallenged or even go along with it because if benefits you (rather than going alone because it can hurt others)#Anyway all this to say yeah Geto shouldve killed himself at 17 and STOP SEXUALIZING THE SHOWER SCENE HES 17 ITS WEIRD
