thinking about the dr3 anime yet again and I need to complain once more about that fuckass ending bc at no point was bringing Hope's Peak back EVER a good idea and I genuinely don't understand the argument that it was a good ending for the Hope's Peak Era. I really don't. In no world can I conceptualize this being a narratively satisfying ending
like, everything from dr0 to the second-to-last episode of the dr3 anime goes to such lengths to show not only that Hope's Peak as an entity had become corrupted, but that what allowed that corruption in the first place was the structure of the system in place. Imbalance from systemic structures allows for those in power to corrupt; that's such a major point of the series. The reason Hope's Peak researchers got cocky is because they saw the talented as having inherently more worth as a result of their talent. Hope's Peak, as it initially existed and was presented in THH, was to encourage talented people to enhance those talents and enter the workforce to increase infrastructure, but relying on these few talented people and building a society that depends on them to function created a power dynamic between the talented and everyone else that led Hope's Peak itself to want to increase that power, hence why in all future installations, it doubles as a research facility to try and breed talent artificially.
The moment where Hope's Peak went into a point-of-no-return was its nosedive into greed. It opened up a Reserve Course of normal students with normal teachers that received nothing special other than the Hope's Peak name, and charged a fuckton out of these students because that's all Hope's Peak saw them as useful for. They made that power imbalance that exists between the 'chosen talented' and the 'majority talentless' and exacerbated it for greed, so that they could lab-grow their own talents. But the reason it got to this point was because of the idolization of Hope's Peak as an entity, not in spite of it, and that's what I think DR3 forgot in its ending.
Yes, former students like Yukizome and Munakata did idolize it, because they were the chosen talented. They had nothing but good faith for Hope's Peak as an entity because they didn't have to see the harm it was doing to everyone else in the country that wasn't talented until the Tragedy began. Munakata's way of thinking is inherently flawed because he can only see his narrow-minded view of Hope's Peak-defined hope, and this should've been what Makoto shattered. But Makoto deciding to RE-OPEN Hope's Peak goes immediately against that, because all that does is continue to idolize the system as it existed. No, you cannot fix him(Hope's Peak)!!! The reason that it fell to corruption was because the way in which the system was inherently designed created an imbalanced caste system that the greed of the Steering Committee exacerbated. If Junko hadn't shown up, who knows how much worse things would've become? The second Hope's Peak generated artificial talent with Izuru, any shot of Sakakura's and Yukizome's infiltration doing anything to stop them basically died. All the Steering Committee had to do was unveil their little lab pet, and Hope's Peak's favorable reputation and government backing would've done the heavy lifting to move forward with the project. Building a second Hope's Peak in tandem with the first was never a good idea. It was only expanding the talent empire that Hope's Peak had started.
Idk, the anime bothers me in its insistence that "Actually, all the problems were just the individuals in power, it's actually just having the right person in charge and then all the problems go away!" very Harry Potter epilogue of you Danganronpa, nice FUCKING going with that one

I keep seeing takes about Whitaker being religious and I need to counter balance with my own take. Whitaker coming from a small religion heavy town in a religious heavy area and studying Theology is not indicative that he is religious, it's indicative that he has dissected religion. If people are big believers from their childhood/church, they go deeper into religious education on the church side, not the higher education side. The fact that he brought up scripture with the context of his undergrad and not personal affiliations with the church or God to Robby really drives this home for me personally. My take is that Whitaker came from a religious family in a religious area, went to church as a kid, but was more inclined towards science and medicine, and opted for that route instead. From what we know of his family and where he came from, no one would have batted at eye at him continuing to work on a farm, and based on the location, going to church and raising a family. He hasn't done this, despite it sounding like all of his older brothers have. You don't pursue God in school that isn't associated with your church; that's not what Theology is. You learn about different religions and their impact culturally. A course on Theology is going to look at religion on a global scale, not focus on one true god and holy text, and people that are way down the rabbit hole of practicing one religion don't go for this approach. Whitaker being the first in his family to go into higher education despite being the youngest in his family could make this undergrad decision a possible peacemaking gesture to his family 'yes I'm taking steps away from your traditional values, but I'll keep religion in mind', while also seeking out a broader image of religion as a whole in order to separate one's self from it. When he encounters Robby clasping a star of David and reciting a Jewish prayer (after David himself is the one who finally pushes Robby over the edge, oof ouch), then Robby tells him that he isn't sold on his own faith, Whitaker matches Robby by quoting something back, clarifying that he's pulling that from his education and not his personal beliefs either.
He quotes scripture in the context of studying, and he quotes Robby back to himself in the same manner - this is something I have learned regarding higher powers in times of stress. It's a reminder that they're here not because of what they may or may not believe in, but what they've studied and what they're here to do.

Artist Jonathan Harris and his painting titled “Critical Race Theory"
It’s a hauntingly effective image. A blonde figure stands, back to the viewer and paint roller in hand, covering up the images of Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Malcolm X with strokes of white paint. Critical Race Theory (2021) has been embraced as a powerful reminder of the importance of teaching and preserving Black history.
The canvas is the work of Detroit artist Jonathan Harris, who, since taking up painting full time nearly four years ago, has dedicated himself to making work expressing his lived experience as a Black man in the U.S. Critical race theory, which examines the ways in which racism is embedded in our nation’s legal systems and policies, has been circulating in academic circles since the 1970s. But it began making headlines, especially in conservative media, in 2022 as some local lawmakers sought to proactively ban its teaching.

My G-d, why does all the human males have large border shoulders and huge while the women are slim, showing a lot of skins, and having their breasts protubed more outwards. The character design of Rivals is mainly this meme.

Two things can both be true:
1. I love Dr. Robby. He's breaking my heart, he's at his wits' end, the man needs to go home, have a hug, a meltdown, and a burbon or chocolate, and get some SLEEP followed by about five years' worth of weekly therapy sessions
2. I want to PUNCH HIM for EVERY. SINGLE. THING. He put McKay through this season with David
(This was NOT her fault, and it is NOT her responsibility to fix it 😤)
