Eating ice cream at midnight instead of coping with the realisation that you truly cannot fall in love with people are therefore will always be missing something that everyone else has

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.

(My) 🐉🌸 according to the whispering public:

"Poor girl, doomed to be that devil's pet. At least he seems to favor her much... She must be especially good at warming his bed."

"What are you talking about? If I get to live in luxury without having to work a day in my life, I'd even bark and roll over like a dog, haha!"

How they actually are:

🐉: "Beloved... I hear the ice cream truck."

🌸: "Alright, go get my purse."

Every Hollow Knight player experience is either

"Lmao it was so confusing and boring I couldn't get past the first area"

Or

"This game has forever changed how I work on a psychological level and it's the best game I've ever played"

With no in between

This is what cultural christianity looks like:

“What did you do for christmas? Oh you should still celebrate it even though you’re non-christian. It’s super fun and everyone celebrates!”

“Yeah I had sooo much religious trauma. Fuck religions lol. Oh, you’re ex-jewish? Thank g-d you got out of that I heard it’s a massive cult lol”

“Oh, you’re Jewish? I don’t really know much about that; but I love those potato pancake thing. Laykeys, right?”

“Omg I got this necklace! It’s super goth. The cross sorta reminds me of grave stones, don’t you think?”

“Oh, you’re Jewish? But not like, really Jewish right? Because that’s weird. Anyway my aunt just became a nun and it’s super aesthetic but she can’t date so that must be annoying…”

i'm also obsessed with lloyd still thinking about javier's looks even when he's five seconds away from dying. he's so upset he's gonna die for javier's handsome ass. he's literally like "you better live a good long life after this you bastard. and i hope you lose your hair and get stinky feet" cause he thinks it's unfair javier will not only get to live but also continue on being unnaturally pretty.

he really said
