There's this one post on here that says something about how people in fandom are so used to bad/flawed media that they learn that "analysis" and "thinking critically" is just finding problems with a piece of media and complaining and/or suggesting fixes, and when they encounter something good they fall back on those behaviors instead of engaging with them in good faith (obviously I'm paraphrasing).

Anyway, I think Banana Fish is a major example of a work that this has happened to.

#there's a lot to say about this and i think i need to get my thoughts in order before i fully write it out #but like the sheer vitriol i've seen towards akimi yoshida in some posts is really horrible and unfair #especially since most posts i've seen like accidently touch on the point of some creative choices they're mad about #idk hopefully i'll be able to articulate this better later #banana fish
