I’ve noticed a pretty sizable portion of this fandom can’t understand symbolism or basic writing techniques sometimes. Sometimes, it seems to be born from not being used to Japanese media but even then…

Also Demyx is the Master of Master because he’s my mom

i can't even seriously respond to this ask after reading 'demyx is my mom' im crying

#snap chats #i will respond to it in the tags tho dont worry <3 #i dont like the excuse that 'people just havent looked at japanese media' because this isnt a problem exclusive to rgg #because symbolism and color theory isn't a Japanese Media thing. lest i remind everyone of The Great Gatsby #A VERY ENTRY-LEVEL BOOK STUFFED with symbolism and all that good stuff. very easy to pick up on even as a dumbass teenager #it's why it's such a common book to teach in high school english classes it's a very simple place to start to understand these concepts #'snap youre being americentric with your media recommendations' blow me i'm watching We Make Antiques 3 in japanese later #that aside its why i refuse to let the whole 'its japanese media' bit slide #ik japanese media is touted as being more symbolic and subtle and i wont lie that does feel to be the case at times #but it's a problem overall even outside of rgg where people just refuse to critically engage with media #or to look at it from a deeper/different perspective. or just look at it LMAO #and thats FINE if you just want to watch or play something and be done with it im not gonna be your mom about it #im not your teacher i dont ACTUALLY expect people to hyperanalyze everything they look at that's annoying #we're all human sometimes we just want our brain to go Unga Bunga and have fun #i just repeat... do not have a serious discussion with me about it LMAO
