#the comments actually dont. instead they are treated very unserious. in a way they feel so... vague and light

as a dr fan we need to acknowledge that some of the danganronpa characters suffer through chronic liners for bad humor by out-of-touch old guy writers syndrome
#glaring at himiko yumeno. kaede akamatsu. sonia nevermind. akane owari....
#uhmmm if anyone wants me to explain i can i dont think i can organize my thoughts in tags rn... maybe later ugnnnn
#drv3
#danganronpa
#Okay fine here are my thoughts
#“chronic liners for bad humor by out-of-touch old guy writers syndrome” is a simplified term for this phenomenon where writers
#give characters lines not to reveal their characters but to please the audience in distasteful ways for the sake of being ''funny''
#(uh maybe i should like... do an actual proper text reblog for this because its hard typing this shit in tags but)
#i feel like a huge example of this is kaede's comments towards tsumugi to the point shuich says shes an ''old creep''
#although these comments *could* be an extension of her trait for pushing people too far (ex: the tunnel shit)
#the comments actually dont. instead they are treated very unserious. in a way they feel so... vague and light
#to the point that it appears that those comments *arent* trying to reveal anything about her character
#especially since that trait is more specific than quite broad
#i get people being uncomfortable with those comments (i am too) but they feel like a terrible
#''writers talking through their characters for people to be more engaged with the media in a quirky relatable way'' than anything else
#like ''writers are trying to appeal to the audience humor/desires and reach the audience's culture to the point of being out of touch"
#so THATS the reason that i feel like it will be weird to shit on ''kaede defenders'' for the comments cuz they're just so..
#detached from her character that people hardly take that as genuinely being apart of her character
#and if it is genuinely apart of her character then its only as a way to keep people engaged with the story and character
#it hardly adds anything meaningful to her character
#fuck me these tags are long but onto himiko: most things ive said about kaede's comments apply to himiko's weird
#fucking racism comments (ex: the afro comment that genuinely made me a little upset)
#but to add onto that. himiko plays into a very specific trope that is ''lo1i girl'' and often that trope comes with quirky and “funny” trai
#they're supposed to be so palatable and marketable to the audience and apart of the charm is how ''funny'' they are
#the racism comment is way more revealing of the writers than himiko's character itself.. so no himiko is not racist; the writers are.
#feeling the need to play into a trope by creating “funny” lines that is basically just fucking racism is just soooo danganronpa
#*eyeroll*
#and yeah i mentioned the other characters. sonia and akane being a victim of this phenomenon
#although this moreso reflects the english translators than the writers of the game...
#them randomly speaking in aave (which may i add theyd never do this) for the ''lols'' is a choice..
