unpopular opinion: forgiveness in this day and age is a huge part of toxic positivity. you don’t have to forgive anyone. and unless YOU’RE the one ready to forgive, forgiveness does absolutely nothing for you. people telling you that you have to forgive are people who are saying that you “shouldn’t” be angry at someone for their harm done towards you. fuck them and fuck the person who doesn’t deserve forgiveness.
thought that i’d get this out before i send some dark witchery to my bitch ass “father”. don’t be afraid to give mfs their karma.

I would like to sincerely say to all the people on Goodreads or anywhere else who complain about how the narrative in A World Without Princes treats “feminism” and “feminists” as bad and evil, don’t really understand the point of the book.
Because ever single book in the School for Good and Evil series tries to teach a lesson about not falling into one extreme or the other. Because either can hurt you, if you fall to far into them.
For example, in SEG it was Good and Evil. TLEA — Young and Old. QFG, COT, OTK — Truth and Lie.
So, keeping that in mind, what exactly is this kind of lesson that is trying to be taught in AWWP?
Toxic Masculinity and Toxic Feminism.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that Aric Lesso and Evelyn Sader, respectively, are the two characters that embodied these ideas the most.
After all, they’re antagonists, antagonists that oppose both our heroes — directly, in the story — and each other — fundamentally, in ideology.

I cannot stop giggling about the idea of a modern day Only God Forgives au. Crystal gets canceled for being a terrible parent who makes thirst traps of her son.

Idk why I'm back here, but I do want to say that I think we should talk more about gems in the magical girl genre such as Petite Princess Yucie, Jewelpet Twinkle, and Fairy Musketeers rather than niche 2010's titles we've (the fans, idc about them much) all agreed on aren't good. Besides beloved 90's-2000's titles (Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Ojamajo Doremi, Tokyo Mew Mew, Shugo Chara to name a few) and the rare retro fan who is into Minky Momo or Creamy Mami... I see a lot of, "Well, [×] was a bad show and the genre is ruined!", but it always comes off as someone who doesn't really watch the genre. There's a lot of good shows out there if you check them out, but if you aren't actively looking for recommendations or looking for titles then you can't really expect to find much.
As harsh as it may come off, in my experience the average American magical girl fan isn't going to watch or even know of obscure titles much to look for mhch more. Most people's introduction to the genre here was through Sailor Moon, and that expectation of those action oriented media sticked. Therefore, the majokko (魔女っ子, witch girl) and magical girl idol titles are pushed into the background. Some would point the finger at licensing, but it also misses how a lot of these titles aren't commonly talked about as is. It was worse before Retrocrush on Discotek, but at the least you can find people who are into stuff like Magical Emi or Pastel Yumi. Still, it's hard for me to grasp how a lot of the genre is ignored in bigger magical girl spaces, especially on sites such as Twitter. I get highly confused when I only see people talking about Precure or Sailor Moon, yet make a lot of assumptions pushed to places that aren't really responsible for that.
Sure, licensing could be better, but that's a complex issue I've seen people go into. A friend of mines posts about how deals were set up for shows like Shugo Chara, but companies weren't interested. There's a massive problem overall with getting girls media off the ground as well. However, it is also on fans to check out more than what many would call the "cream of the crop" if they want other experiences. The optimizing of "dark themes" from newer fans also does not help, as it relegates the genre into a very odd competition between which is more mature or serious, yet forgetting at the end of the day many of these titles are for kids and cam stand on their own without vague comparisons. If you're not even going to look into say, titles beyond Princess Tutu, then I can't really take demands of wanting the genre to explore other themes seriously when several already have done that...
Yes, I'm saying this because most people in the online spaces I frequent at most will just watch Precure, Madoka Magica, and Sailor Moon, yet refuse to look at anything else and commonly put themselves into discussions to make generalizations about media they know they will never watch. It's especially weird to see as a fan of adv games/visual novels and mecha anime, where I see people do the exact opposite - dig up old titles and openly talk about them. I'm not expecting fans to automatically know what stuff like Galaxy Fraulein Yuna is, or games like Silky Lip and Valis, but I do think with media critique and common complaints your scope of criticism should be beyond a popular 90's titles and a few from the 2000's. I also find so many conversations dull cause I've been in the fandom for a hot minute and recommendations I rarely see, but moreso complaints about the same 6-8 shows instead of uh, idk, watching something else entirely.
Again, enjoy your shows, just don't jump into convos "educating people" (telling me or others stuff like majokko don't count, too many other examples to list here), or claiming all of the genre was boring/good/bad/kiddy before [×]. I also promise you it's actually rare to find a magical girl title that doesn't address "serious themes", cause even the ones about fairy tales and cutesy magical schools have child abandonment and trauma rampant through them. :/
