yeah, i really think that the decline in that mentality is the result of multiple developments that happened over the last decade or so, and i don't think that there's any solution that can solve it solely within the internet itself 😭😭 feels like there needs to be another cultural shift, hopefully

yeah, i can see it getting flak Now, but back then the reaction was "20?!??!" followed by "whatever, i headcanon the protag to be close to his age anyway" and that's it. but trying to ship them in current year with the no fun allowed crowd always looming does sound pretty stressful lol...

i remember his full name and age coming out around the same time (bw2?) and i don't remember it really changing opinions much...
for me i mostly just cooled on it bc i kind of found it overrated after a while with fandom treating it like a sacred cow, and i got more into chess/agencyshipping instead

exactly, and while i always liked her for how interesting and mysterious she was, i also wasn't going to pretend like she didn't have any writing that showed a capacity to be a cruel or callous person, we just happen to be in the timeline where end0 decided to write her with sympathetic reasons
November 30, 2025 at 2:28 AM
yes...?
November 30, 2025 at 2:08 AM
yep it's wild (and then he just. leaves this cliffhanger hanging lmao.)
but yea when we finally got more insight ppl were So annoying about it bc they tried saying "she was obviously abused by her husband and ppl demonized her for it!" and it's like no dumbass, wanting your child dead is a red flag💀

before we really "knew" what her issue was, she was honestly really suspicious because half-wishing that your own child had died in a terrorist hostage situation is an unhinged mentality no matter how you slice it 😭😭 especially in a manga where all the evil characters are willing to harm kids

the xy legendaries are legit so funny since they're just chilling in the city and nobody gaf lmao
but yea, i meant the past ones from xy too! the ones that return get a lot of praise for what they do in the story, and while i don't know every detail, what i heard is both surprising and promising
November 27, 2025 at 7:34 AM
i've actually heard the opposite, that it does do a lot with its characters and that the battles are fun if a little too quick bc of the real time system; maybe if it had something in between like caligula's turn based real time combos it would've been better
(but x is still fun, just revisited it)
November 27, 2025 at 7:19 AM
yeah, i think it's just the way fandom evolved to be constantly about teams and hype in socmed spaces where everyone's opinion is public and can be forced on each other bc of the damn algo 😭😭 but yea, the fact that ppl don't really touch even popular shojo anymore is also a big factor sadly
November 27, 2025 at 7:11 AM
this is so funny to me bc while i can always appreciate when something is handled well and have no problem with ppl saying so, when they try to say it's better than ALL the examples that came before it, that's when i go "lol let's not get crazy now"
anyway this wouldn't happen if ppl read more shojo

he avoids him bc the mole arc proved that yuri's not dumb and can easily catch him slipping, but also l0id just thinks yuri's the annoying brother-in-law that he never asked for
but welp, we've figured out why l0id's character development stalled, he needs to be forced to interact with yuri again 😂
November 26, 2025 at 10:47 AM
l0id slowly going from acting cautious and placating to keep himself off y0r's brother's sss radar to telling him to shut the fuck up is one of my favorite character relationship/dynamic developments 😭😭😭 yuri's so annoying that he can get twilight to break character and act like they're real in-laws
November 26, 2025 at 10:36 AM
the continuity issue that comes in is that after that arc, l0id starts to avoid interacting with yuri to keep him from getting suspicious; they haven't seen each other since and y0r is the one who goes to yuri instead of him dropping in, and when he does like in the bonus comics, l0id isn't around
November 26, 2025 at 10:28 AM
thing is, if they end where everyone expects, then everyone who was in the first ep will also be in the last ep Except him! if they adapted M68 as the season opening, it would've bookended the story with the last arc where they fight again (and it builds to loid finally losing it at him in that arc)
November 26, 2025 at 10:19 AM
it's one of my favorite comedy chps, yuri gets humiliated, l0id acts petty the entire time, y0r and l0id act domestic, 4nya is the only sane person in the apartment, it's gold
they removed it (it was before the bus) but if they save it for the next season, they'll be making a HUGE continuity mistake
November 26, 2025 at 9:51 AM
yep, yuri is basically twilight's shonen rival and the biggest threat looming over him; he's really sharp and notices small details, he's similarly cautious, and he also works for straight days without rest just like him; he's just less experienced, but l0id's compromise for y0r is an even handicap
November 26, 2025 at 9:38 AM
they are LITERALLY the same, but bc the anime does a piss poor job adapting it, it's totally lost on ppl that the bus arc had yuri being a stand-in for what's normally l0id's role; he was the one who broke the stalemate and he's meant to be a real match for twilight, which leads to the next arc
November 26, 2025 at 9:02 AM
like this season? they made a completely original but shitty story to open up on with the forgers EVEN THO THERE WAS ALREADY A MANGA CHAPTER THAT THEY COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE USED.
IT WAS YURI'S 2ND VISIT TO THE HOUSE THAT TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE BUS ARC. AND THEY REMOVED IT. BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT!
November 26, 2025 at 8:41 AM
it's not just that, they try to give her extra screen time in anime originals (plus the movie) to make her seem more relevant than she actually is but they Also downplay and remove yuri's screentime even tho he's basically loid's foil/shonen rival in the story and 100% another member of the family
November 26, 2025 at 8:39 AM
LEGIT could've had her with handler + franky since she actually has relationships with them, but putting her in the same shot he's chasing after his friends? deliberately misleading and vile💀
plus i was NOT a shooter for y0r's brother before this animu, but even i'm offended by how dirty they do him
