#this post is a result of me seeing the sheer number of potshots being taken at skk shippers and chuuya fans in particular

I've noticed that the whole sudden increase in the anti chuuya sentiment started recently with the release of the official translation of 15 and then later with all the additional scenes from DHC, DA manga, 15 getting a manga, and stormbringer reinforcing a lot of Dazai's weird obsession with Chuuya.

Like it was particularly bad but limited during the 15 ln confession scene where people were incredibly angry and almost vile about people bringing up that line calling it a mistranslation or deluded shipper goggles. But then it showed up in the official translation and I guess that was it.

Cause I dont think I have ever seen this much vitriol aimed at Chuuya before sb. Its like the moment Chuuya started getting screentime in supplementary material he became a major threat to other ships cause people could no longer fully rely on the whole 'skk despise each other and shippers are delusional' shtick. Why else would everyone treat dark era and beast as a canon source on Dazai's feelings and insistently gaslight the fandom into viewing stormbringer, 15, dead apple, dragon head incident etc as not canon? Skk shippers celebrating that the 15 hand hold, sb impossible choice scene and da snow white scene were made canon through addition in the manga was just sad when nobody ever questions any of the events from the non skk focused light novels. Like thats literally their backstory. Its not even a ship thing, it just proves that Dazai cared about Chuuya in his own messy way.

But somehow its not even just that, people claim to have gotten sick of seeing Chuuya when Chuuya has practically been absent for years and currently hasn't spoken a word since his reappearance but there has been a shocking spike in anti Chuuya sentiment for some reason.

Like I like the guy, I think he's cool and all and I am primarily a Dazai stan and so am never lacking in content but there is literally nothing wrong with chuuya stans or skk shippers who wanna see more of his interactions. It gets frustrating that people can't let fans of a character even hope to see their fave in the future without making ableist comments about their mental capacity or feel the need to actively water down any and all of Chuuya's value in Dazai's life and vice versa. I get that you have headcanons but those do not make them canon events. You cant just sit there like a clown denying canon material and author's comments about chuuya in relation to dazai just cause you hate the ship while pretending to make up theories about your own ship. Get over it, leave chuuya fans alone. They have literally done nothing to deserve this level of vile treatment.
