TW: Rant and swearing

Hi, first of all, I wanna apologize in advance for what I am going to say. You are a huge comfort blog for me, especially when it comes to one of my biggest comfort characters (Kokichi), but I just wanna let this all out. I saw something today that really bothered me, and I just want to feel like I'm talking to someone that shares the same opinion and view as me. Whether or not you respond or even delete this is up to you, after all, this is your blog and you have the right to post whatever you want. So I apologize if I take up your time with my vent:

I was on reddit and I came across a HUGE thread and reasons why "Kokichi would be a toxic partner" and why "Saiouma is a toxic relationship". It made me so angry, I tried to reason with everyone else, but they harassed me to the point where I had to deactivate my account. If they don't ship Saiouma, that is fine. It is there opinion. But I do not stand ignorance that "Kokichi is a toxic partner" and they twist canon to make it seem like he is a purely evil person and therefore doesn't deserve love. I was just reading what they said, questioning if we even played the same fucking game!

They totally misunderstood Kokichi's actions in chapter 5 and said "He wanted Shuichi, Kiibo, Maki, and Himiko to commit mass suicide" which wasn't even his plan! It was quite the opposite--to fucking save everyone and get them the hell outta that goddamn killing game! That was his plan, if anyone was even paying attention--to end and ruin the killing game! They were also giving him a lot of crap about him and manipulating 'uwu the precious cinnamon roll that did no wrong' Gonta into killing Miu. OMG! SWALLOW THESE GODDAMN PILLS! GONTA MADE HIS OWN DECISION, HE IS A BIG BOY! Even Alter Ego Gonta said that he made his own choice to kill her! Literally, all Kokichi did was lead Gonta to the flashback light!

You might as well say Sonia was responsible for Hiyoko's death by telling her there is a mirror in the music venue and 'luring' her to her death!

Because of his actions, in a fucking killing game, everyone started to rant about how toxic Kokichi would be. Someone said he would be physically and mentally abusive, which I just can't imagine Kokichi being! He would never EVER harm his SO! During his FTE (if anyone even had the heart to play it and understand Kokichi), he made sure Shuichi wasn't hurt with the games he played! Kokichi even took the harm himself, if it meant Shuichi wouldn't be hurt! Hell, read his fucking wiki page! It's even stated that he dislikes general violence!

And him mentally and emotionally abusing his partner? Look, I know Kokichi can be an annoying shithead that lies a lot, but I can't imagine him degrading and belittling his partner! Not only is it very OOC, but to the person he, on layman terms "loves"?! I'm pretty sure Kokichi isn't that goddamn stupid to not realize that his words can seriously harm is SO! He may be inexperienced with the romance department, but even he knows that there is a fine line between 'teasing' and 'bullying'. Contrary to popular belief, Kokichi knows his boundaries (look at his LSE) and will definitely tone down his teasing and pranks if his SO is uncomfortable. Teasing his partner, definitely! But what would make people think that Kokichi is THAT stupid and downright bully them?!

Look at his Salmon Mode and UTDP events! He doesn't even manipulate people! In his Salmon mode, his 'dates' with Shuichi are purely wholesome and hilarious! Kokichi, the embodiment of a lie, even said "If I wanna get closer to Shuichi maybe I shouldn't lie to so much"

HE WAS WILLING TO BETTER HIMSELF FOR SHUICHI!

If that doesn't scream "A good partner" Idk what does, bestie!

Even in his UTDP events, nothing bad, really! There was an event with him and Kaito, they were just talking about family. I guess you can nitpick that he was bothering Kiibo again for being a robot, but really--nothing bad! He was even kind to Mikan and Nagito (who are both outcasted in school). He called Mikan 'kind' and even distracted her from Hiyoko when she wanted to bother Mikan

KOKICHI IS A GOOD GUY! He just needs to get his shit together and be treated with a little bit more kindness

There was this Kokichi ask blog I was scrolling down and 'Kokichi' was really nice to everyone that sent him asks. On of the questions said "Kokichi, you are really nice to everyone here. Where did the 'evil, ultimate supreme leader go?'" and Kokichi responded "Well, everyone has been so nice to me here! I don't have a reason to be disrespectful, now do I?" Which basically just proves if Kokichi was treated with a bit more kindness (Which I believe his SO would be able to give to him), he wouldn't be an asshole! He would be an amazing boyfriend!

TDLR: If you don't like Kokichi, that is fine. If you don't ship Saiouma, that is fine. But for the love is god: DO NOT TWIST CANON!

(Again, I'm really sorry for dumping his rant on you. I just wanted to feel like I was speaking to someone that shared the same opinion as me. If you read all this, thank you)

YOURE SO RIGHT !!!

this is so true!! you said exactly what i always think when i see stuff like that!!!

he’s not an evil, toxic person, he was in a killing game and he was struggling! he just needs help! there’s also like plenty of signs in the game that he’s suffering from depression too (signs that i even see in myself) which can really mess up your brain and convince you you deserve to be a bad person, which adds to how he so “easily” made himself out to be evil in the game

but he was only ever “evil” because of the way he made himself look to other people in the game, that’s literally the only evidence, but who he really is isnt evil at all! there’s plenty of evidence, like you said, that he’s actually a good person!!

i would literally ramble on forever about this, but you said most of it anyway :) also i don’t know if what i said made much sense but i hope it did

(also dont be sorry :) )
