People on this website will be like "you can't handle the moral nuance of Madoka Magica! Not everything is black and white" and then claim everyone criticizing Homura's actions thinks she's a terrible person in the same sentence

#homura akemi #madoka magica #vent post #i put big ole disclaimers and sprinkle throughout that i dont think she's a bad person and i still get #“so you think homura's a terrible person and heres why your wrong” essays if i so much as say #homura undermining madoka and every magical girl's autonomy at the end of rebellion is a dick move #because heres the thing: you can love someone and have the best of intentions for them and still hurt them if you act without listening #homura love madoka and wants her to be happy but she spent dozens of timelines being the only one who could save madoka #and its gonna take her awhile to accept the new reality and that madoka has power and agency now #also saw someone earlier saying Madoka is deeply depressed and suicidal and that everything she says is a front and like???#did we watch the same series???#because thats certainly what homura believes but we're repeatedly shown homura being wrong about things #ex: she thinks madoka is alone but we know she has deputies #she thinks no one remembers madoka but sayaka remembers the whole story once she's a deputy #the series repeatedly shows us why madoka wants to live #i would agree that madoka has a hard time finding value in herself outside of being of service to others at the beginning of the series #i don't think thats true by the end #god forbid a gal is just genuinely altruistic #but tldr: i think homura loves madoka and wants her to thrive but she is not listening to madoka and undermining her autonomy
