#but that's for many reasons (cough bottomtaro cough)

[panathema]

Hi! My sis is jotakak shipper and a kakyoin fan who loves extra feminized versions of kakyoin and keeps pushing the agenda :/ It's making me annoyed at the character for some reason and I feel horrible bc I love Kakyoin

ah damn, i’ve definitely felt similar.  the best advice i can offer is to isolate yourself as much as possible from people who post that kind of content, which will suck and narrow options for finding content but has saved me personally from coming to hate kakyoin. that’s obviously gonna be a bit difficult since it’s your sibling, but if you’re on good terms it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask them to not push it on you so much?

it does get annoying when it starts to influence how you see a character, especially in kakyoin’s case where the difference between his fanon and depiction is so extreme but not entirely unfounded. all jojo characters have a level of feminity (or flamboyancy) to them which is fucking fantastic, but the way the fanbase interprets kakyoin will never not bother me on a (maybe unnecessarily) deep and personal level. i’d be fine with it if it wasn’t to the degree it is, which is to say… character ruining, and usually for the sake of shipping jotakak as the most tired ‘s*eme/u*ke’ tropes tbqh.

honestly though? (re)watch the stardust ova. it has my favourite kak tbqh, although not quite as weird as he is in the manga. other than that, keep going back to the source content! remember why you love his character so much!! he’s definitely an interesting one, so you have great taste, baby. distance your perception of the character you love from the weird uwu smol bean or femme fatale interpretations that might bother you.
