Animating this season like you can't have the slightest bit of jest and god forbid jesting about yaoi
#can't even jokingly say slurs like saying fag instead of drudge wasn't The joke
#like ciel took his earrings out at school right he was trying to be normal at normal boy school and they are all using slurs in their...
#...everyday social setup their whole social world within the school at least relies on every important guy having a guy who will do...
#...anything for him which is literally ciel's entire bit but normie
#anyway whatever i am not going to explicate every joke at play here but what really annoys me about the shojo sparkles joke getting cut...
#...is that it's being used in different places like vincent got shojo sparkles yesterday and ciel's at the beginning but like that is...
#...supposed to be the joke-y indicator this is NOT normie shojo school so why did these have to get animated so FLAT
#like you mean you can't imply any subtext about ciel bc it would be problematic. this is a story that is literally ABOUT people playing...
#...at who they are not. the whole series and every character is set on that premise. and you're going to cultivate an environment where...
#...viewers accept that any kind of subtext at all is inherently problematic and needs cut from the story
#like they could have cut more and i am interested to see how they're going to handle things like ciel getting carried off of the field. but
#it's more uncomfortable to me to be like no being a gay teenager is inherently problematic actually he can't be gay but he can be...
#...straight engaged to his cousin in earnest even though the narrative has established how that is fake too.
#and not dipping into the whole sebastian thing fully but then you have a setup where you have made it unacceptable to tell any gay story...
#...that might be slightly problematic even though here it genuinely is a lot of subtext you have to understand that there is subtext to get
#and there is the element here with them too where they are liars and they are playacting. that's part of what makes the story so complex...
#...and interesting!! is trying to decipher who is lying and why the world they live in makes them have to lie to survive
#it's doing a massive disservice to this story to approach it from the angle of someone might think on that too hard and think it's...
#...inappropriate :( let's be the yen press and tweet something about sebastian being a mom so no one has to question what they're looking a
#in a STORY THAT'S ABOUT QUESTIONING THE TRUTH OF WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
#i don't even care about shipping this is just cultivating a massive media literacy problem where you are being encouraged to take a story..
#..at face value and you can't make dark jokes and you can't make stories about problematic gay people
#it also bothers me bc this story has been really popular in japan for like 20 years without the mass public being in a constant state of...
#...is this demon his boyfriend or dad :( like they're just fucking watching it ahdjrf
#that also bothers me bc it's like you guys can't engage with any grey area relationship in a story where it doesn't fit into a box
#but anyways why can japan engage with it to make it as popular and long lasting as it is and not everyone else don't say bc japan is...
#...full of freaks who only like freak stories. this is also symptomatic of things i have complained about elsewhere on this blog that us...
#...dub culture has cultivated an environment where us normal cool americans are going to tell freakish japanese people how to engage...
#...with their counterculture cartoons in the Right way without ever having to engage with another country's culture or a story in general.
