Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

Hi, I hope it's not bothering you, I just came to shed some light on this question of "why does Jaune's fan hate Oscar?" I'm a fan of Jaune but I think Oscar's character is very good, but I believe the hate that Oscar receives comes from the fact that he appears out of nowhere and gains a very important purpose out of nowhere(ozpin vessel) Many fans or stans wanted this to be for Jaune, who had already been in the main group for the longest time. For me, I liked Oscar's idea in the series, the only thing I would change is adding more to his backstory.

I think I understand but also there's already SO MUCH going on with Jaune, I think him being an ozcarnation on top of that would have been a logistical nightmare, to write. I think they already found it difficult to write him in the ever after, even if they probably planned that from the beginning (him having a white rabbit on his hoodie).

I do wish we got more of Oscar's backstory (and it might still be coming), but I don't mind his introduction to the show. Could've been handled better? Probably. But also I really don't understand why everyone keeps hating on it. It's not like our other main characters had much fleshed out introductions.

Sometimes people get their start in fandom with something like, idk, the MCU or light action shows like Supernatural or children's fantasy like Warriors (this last example said with love), where the writing is an inconsistent mess, characterization can change on a dime, there's no themes stronger than like "family" or "stop the bad guy from changing our way of life". And their fandom experience is taking the hints of interesting ideas presented and dropped and spinning them into something interesting, or just fluffy and fun, and then discarding the rest.

And then these people come to a piece of art that like. Actually has themes and good writing and a coherent vision, but they're still trained on The Giant Trash Heap That Must Be Sorted Through, so they start their routine of excising fun yaoi moments and throwing the rest in the trash, except now the rest is like. A professionally made passion project by a group of skilled writers with a hundred years writing experience between them, and this fan is writing the same coffee shop AUs as ever. And it makes something that feels same-y and fandom out of something unique and well-made and, well, interesting.

And like. That's their prerogative, more power to them, but it makes me wanna pull my hair out to talk to these people about a piece of media I actually care about beyond that Trash Heap level.

And if you're someone whose only fandom experience has been Trash Sorting and you're running into people arguing with you abt their favorite piece of media, give them a second thought I guess?
