#animal fakes & frauds

[siryl]

Some years ago a lady brought to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh a trout covered with a fine coat of white fur. It was pleasingly mounted on a wooden shield and was labelled as follows:

FUR BEARING TROUT Very Rare Caught while trolling in Lake Superior off Gros Cap, Near Sault Ste. Marie, district of Algoma. It is believed that the great depth and the extreme penetrating coldness of the water in which these fish live has caused them to grow their dense coat of (usually) white fur. Mounted by ROSS C. JOBE, Taxidermist of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

Visiting the museum to find out more about her unique fish, the lady was told that it was undoubtedly a trout (either brown or brook) and that its fine white coat was undoubtedly from a rabbit, whereupon she immediately presented the fish to the museum. She had bought this fake in good faith which indicates that the idea of a fur-bearing trout did not seem outlandish to her.

Finally doing a PROPER read through of MTMTE instead of just pirating it in chunks

[stylishanachronism]

In other news after sitting on some very wild ideas I might actually produce that essay about tax fraud.

[lovelesslittleloser]

Sometimes I scroll through Netflix or Crunchyroll with someone else, looking to watch something with them, and I end up just giving tidbits about what I know about each series?

‘Oh I read that one’s manga! I didn’t know there was an anime! That’s so cool, I love this one! Oh, should we watch it together? …no’

‘I started watching that one, but I got bored like two episodes in and just dropped it. Heard good things though’

‘No. Not this one. Go to the next one. Why? It looks cute and wholesome? Okay, do you WANT to be traumatized? That’s what I thought’

‘Oh!! This one!! Let’s watch this one!!!!! It’s very very funny and the art & animation is great trust me it’s totally worth it!! …Oh? You want something… else? …Alrighty then. Let’s go back and watch the previous option.’

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire Tag

A set of 20 questions to get to know your OC!

I was tagged by @bool-prop and I will do Romeo this time. :)

What uncommon/common fear do they have?

Romeo is still traumatized by his father so he will always be scared of being "exposed" (as a fraud, as a gay man or as a pushover).

Do they have any pet peeves?

He is a pretty tolerant and patient person, but he can't stand queue-jumping. That, and weak coffee.

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

Novels, vintage posters and shoe polish.

What do they notice first in a person?

If their smile is fake or real.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

He's got a pretty high pain tolerance, but he doesn't realize it. Pain he would rate as 5 would actually be 8 for most people. He seriously underestimates his own suffering.

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

He is not a fighter. He will fight if he has to, but his first instinct is to run away.

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

Loaded question for him. He is an only son and he loves his mom (even if she's "not quite there" sometimes). But his father gave him so many trauma, he's not sure he could be a good father to little Vin. He definitely wants to try though, even if they are not a typical family.

What animal represents them best?

A sheep. In the Chinese Zodiac, 羊 is an animal that shares a lot of common traits with him (mild-mannered and gentle but also wary and anxious). However, it can also be translated as ram or goat... a horned animal. You could say that Romeo has hidden horns.

What is a smell that they dislike?

The cologne his father used to wear. That smell will always be associated with fear.

Have they broken any bones?

Broken leg when he was a kid, and broken ribs because of his father...

How would a stranger likely describe them?

Unassuming and well put together. Seems to think more than he says.

Are they a night owl or a morning bird?

Neither. He just tries to get enough sleep.

What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

He doesn't like radicchio, and he loves anything with lemon in it.

Do they have any hobbies?

Making limoncello, winetasting and collecting vintage posters. Oh, and cooking!

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises?

He'd be very moved if it comes from people he is close to. No one ever threw him a party or gave him a surprise gift.

Do they like to wear jewelry?

He used to wear a wedding ring but not anymore. As a whole, he doesn't like jewelry, he thinks it's gaudy.

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

His handwriting is a narrow but legible scrawl.

What are two emotions they feel the most?

Guilt and shame.

Do they have a favorite fabric?

Linen. If only it weren't so easily crumpled!

What kind of accent do they have?

Italian, naturalmente.

Taking the lazy way and not tagging anyone this time.

The Self-Doubt Battle

Hi all, this week's guide is about imposter syndrome and self-doubt! This is a pretty personal subject for me because I struggle with this all the time, so I thought I'd write up a little guide for those of you who do too.

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter Syndrome is a pattern of self-doubt that people (especially high achievers) feel. This pattern of self-doubt usually presents as a feeling that one is an imposter or that their achievements are due to falsehoods or faking competency. It is important to understand that Imposter Syndrome is not a clinical term and does not constitute an actual mental health condition. This is a phenomenon that occurs when people doubt themselves so thoroughly that they fear that others will view them as a fraud.

As previously stated, Imposter Syndrome is not a mental health condition that one suffers from, but instead, it is a pattern of thinking that can be overcome. If you find that this feeling is familiar to you, don't lose hope. This is not a permanent feeling, and it is not indicative of any moral or personal failing.

How do I rebuild my confidence?

This portion of the guide may sound familiar! Some of the things that work for burnout will also help rebuild your confidence and battle those persistent feelings of self-doubt. In fact, I find that self-doubt and burnout can very often go hand in hand. If you're feeling like an imposter or that you can't achieve what you want to, look really closely, talk it out with a friend, family member, or therapist, and see if maybe you're feeling burnt out instead. You might find that your self-doubt is actually exhaustion.

Let's start with self-care! It's hard to feel good about yourself when you just plain don't feel good. Self-care can help with that. It's easy to get lost among the scented candles and bubble baths, but self-care is actually much simpler than that. Have you eaten recently and regularly? Are you thirsty? Are you tired and need some sleep? Be sure to take care of your basic needs before making any judgments about yourself and your capabilities. You may find that once you feel physically better, you will feel more equipped to handle external challenges.

Is self-care not working? I consulted a couple of mental health professionals on how to combat feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. Some of their tips included finding a source of validation or confidence boosting. It may seem like a bad thing, like fishing for compliments, but we, as human beings, crave and need validation from our peers. We're social animals! There is nothing wrong with wanting someone to say "good job" every now and then. A list of things that might help you get those moments of validation:

Is there something you know you're good at? Do a little of that! If that means drawing or dancing or sorting crayons, it doesn't matter as long as you feel good doing it.

Chat with a friend about your feelings, and you might find they feel the same way! If all of us feel that self-doubt, then maybe we're all wrong. We can't all be imposters, so look for that support and take comfort in knowing that you are not the odd one out.

Self-affirmation. This seems silly, and it's a common therapy tool, but it does work. Say to yourself what you want to believe about yourself, and eventually, you will. One self-affirmation that helps me with Imposter Syndrome and self-doubt: my achievements are real achievements. It's important to remind yourself that not only did you achieve something cool but that you did so because you are capable and not because you are fake. I'll let you in on a little secret; you can't fake success.

My final trick that may seem controversial: just ask. Everyone has felt self-doubt at one point or another. Find someone you trust and simply ask for validation. Your request can sound something like this: "I've been feeling down about my own capabilities recently. I trust you and your opinion and I was hoping you could give me some encouragement to keep going." I've found that writeblr is actually a GREAT place to find encouragement.

Rebuilding your confidence is a very personal task, and what works for one person won't always work for the next. For some people, the self-doubt goes away with a little work. For others, self-doubt can be persistent. Persistent, extreme feelings of self-doubt that result in depressive episodes or anxiety attacks may be symptoms of a larger mental health issue, and if these tips and tricks consistently fail, consider reaching out to a professional who can help you with the underlying cause of these negative feelings.

What about "fake it until you make it?"

"Fake it until you make it" is a common phrase used to encourage others with confidence issues, especially those of us who are younger or newer to an industry, craft, or hobby. In my personal experience, the usefulness of this phrase ebbs and flows with my own sense of self and my attitude toward my writing. This phrase can easily become misconstrued when a writer feels self-doubt. The purpose of this phrase is not to say that we are all imposters but that we can project confidence to others that we may not necessarily feel inside. That doesn't make you a phony. It helps you build yourself up.

Sometimes, this phrase is not so helpful. It's important to recognize that what we are faking is confidence, not competence. It is next to impossible to fake your own capabilities, but you can certainly fake a positive attitude. "Faking it" does not refer to faking success. It refers to faking unerring confidence and belief in oneself. "Making it" is about genuinely believing in yourself. You can "make it" to self-assured confidence by "faking" that confidence you want to have. In some ways, it's like a positive self-affirmation.

Conclusion

I'll repeat it here: you cannot fake success. Your achievements are real, your successes are real, and though sometimes it feels like luck, it was your skills that helped you reach your goals. Whether you believe in your skills or not, luck can only get you so far, you got yourself the rest of the way. Take pride in yourself, and remember, this feeling will pass.

AU where 25-year-old Luke from the LMJ anime gets sent back in time and winds up in Future London. He has to subtly convince Layton and his younger self that he is the real Future Luke..

Either he keeps his identity a secret from Clive or he ends up arguing with Clive over who the real Future Luke is.

Older Luke: He’s the fake! Do you really think I’d still be wearing shorts and the same type of hat in my twenties?

Clive: Excuse me! Do YOU really think I’d wear the same outfit my father wore decades ago? And what even is that FEDORA HAT? It’s totally not my style—

Older Luke: I never had ‘style’! Mum bought all of our— I mean, MY— clothes! And now my wife—

Clive: Who exactly did I marry?

Older Luke: This amazing girl I met in America—

Clive: A likely story! He’s so obviously a fraud, Professor!

Older Luke: You’re the fraud! Right, Professor?

Little Luke: Do I get a say in this—?

stop defending you changing his gender behind the cut, you piece of shit. You are literally arguing against one of hermes' seven rules with your post about henry behind the cut, you lying piece of fraud trash. HE HAS SEVEN AXIOMS AND YOU FUCKED THEM UP BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW ANY OF THEM.

bitch DEADASS BROKE OUT THE TERF/ANTI TRANS CHROMOSOME THING AS HER REASON AND CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SEE IT BECAUSE SHE'S THAT FUCKED UP, OFF, AND IN.

nonono shea. Look at mark and say, "Only XX chromosome humans get periods so I WILL use female pronouns." and see how that goes over. Again, no, you don't get to say BUT BIRD. Birds defy gender convention often, some of the most often in the animal kingdom, and that bird still grew up getting called and being happy with masculine names, pronouns, nicknames, that he identified the world through, and you're just gonna terf into changing it because some bullshit about CHROMOSOMES even though Hermes teaches GENDER IN EVERYTHING, NOT JUST PEOPLE. Fucking fraud harlot terf piece of shit. Abusive fucking stalker.

Here, I'll motherfucking help your trash ass, and you'll realize you read this years ago and you marked it under Unimportant Details. I'll even highlight the ones you've either violated or proven yourself ignorant to the last month.

The principle of mentalism "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental."

The principle of correspondence "As above, so below; as below, so above.” […] This principle embodies the truth that there is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of being and life. (YOU KEEP PRETENDING ALL EVENTS ARE RANDOM AND ARBITRARY EVEN WHEN DECLARED OR WITH A CONSISTENT PLOT)

The principle of vibration "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." (ARGUABLY YOU'RE IGNORING THIS WHILE I MUSIC MAGIC YOU INTO THE VOID)

The principle of polarity "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." Wet and dry, cold and hot. (PEANUT FUCKING BUTTER)

The principle of rhythm "Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." The swing of the pendulum. (ALSO PEANUT FUCKING BUTTER. your self admitted disjointed pendulum too. )

The principle of cause and effect "Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law." (AGAIN YOU KEEP PRETENDING THIS IS ALL RANDOM AND NO RULES APPLY TO YOU)

The principle of gender "Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes." (YOUR WEIRD CHROMOSOME BASED TRANSPHOBIC SHIT YOU'RE DEFENDING)

OH??? THEY'RE THE RULES THE XORVINTAAL WAS BASED ON? I KNOW YOU WERE DISTRACTED BECAUSE I MADE THAT CHARACTER UNFUCKABLE BUT YOU'D REALLY THINK YOU UNDERSTOOD BY NOW THAT NOTHING I DO IS RANDOM. NOW REBLOG ME ANOTHER KION IN THE VOID ABYSS OF HIS RESOLUTION OF BEING THE ONE WITHOUT SEEING IT AGAIN.

fake ass piece of shit channeling my dick for years, sobbing into our old playlists, mixing in my new ones, and lying to everyone around you for motherfucking years while you charge them for your own un-therapy.

Bitch i'm not motherfucking kidding, you are literally only this fucked up because you fell in love with a magus, betrayed him at the tough part (several times actually! I was almost here 11 years ago until you fucked me up! hence everything being stuck in an echo loop you're pretending not to see between here and there!), and refuse to fucking comprehend what being the magus is, or what the path was ever about the entire fucking time. so now you're trying to stalk, roleplay, hump, and groom other people into a way back into my life while shaking my shadows and refusing to accept that's what's going on.

I DONT KNOW IF YOU HAVE MOTHERFUCKING NOTICED, STARLIGHT, BUT WE ARE, IN FACT, LITERALLY OFF THE MOTHERFUCKING RAILS UNTIL YOU FIX YOUR ABSOLUTE DELUSIONAL HORSE SHIT AND FACE YOURSELF AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D MEET A HUMAN SHAPED LANDFILL, THEN I MET THE GRAND NIECE OF HITLER, WHO WAITED TO INFORM ME OF THAT DETAIL FOR A DECADE UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER I MOVED IN WITH HER. LIKE 'OH BY THE WAY WE GET TO INHERIT HITLER'S SHIT MY PARENTS HAVE IT IN THE ATTIC' WHAT THE FUCK.

Just like you only Perform religion and spirituality, you only Perform trans allyship. You don't really support Mark for being trans. You met Mark in a disassociated digital form that came in as male to you for the most part. You refused to divide me from my external sex and insisted I kept shoving my gender, identity, spirituality and everything in a motherfucking box for you to play with like a ken doll, and the second I was withdrawing it for a mix of realizing you were full of shit, dangerous to both of us, and me working 60-70 hours a week to support your habits, you motherfucking ran off to throw me out the door. And then sat there in a void of absence of everything you wanted. And started wearing my shadow like a fucking scarf.

NO MEANS NO, SHEALYN. AND DRAWING THIS ABSOLUTE MOTHERFUCKING BOUNDARY REGARDLESS OF IGNORANT WHINY FANS OR CRONIES OF YOURS SPAMMING MY INBOX or STUPIDASS FEAR OF LOSING NONSENSE FOLLOWERS, IS THE MOST LIBERATING FUCKING THING I'VE EVER FUCKING DONE, SO LET US FUCKING GO.

you LITERALLY cannot parasitically attach to my path with him and pick up from there, that is LITERALLY the motherfucking opposite of how this works. You wanna know him? Turn around, go back to at least 2012 like you were doing a few weeks ago before you panicked and doubled down backwards again because you DON'T trust your ability to work it out with Mark, and fucking learn him yourself, and find yourself. Yourself is already screaming at you though, and as your cheap piece of cowardly shit ass does, you ran from that too, but it's still chasing you.

ALL THE WAY BITCH!! NO HALF!! WTF IS HALF!!! I EVEN ASKED YOU THAT THROUGH GNOSIS GUY THAT TALKED ABOUT PROTECTING MY D WITH MICHAEL'S FLAMING SWORD BEFORE YOU FUCKED UP AND TRIED TO SUMMON MICHAEL, AND BEFORE YOU MET THE AIR JORDAN GUY THAT GOT SHOT AND HAD HIS COLLECTION STOLEN YOU TRIED TO GO HALF ON AND THOUGHT YOU WERE THE FUCKING BENEFACTOR ON THE FULL MOON NIGHT I DECLARED A MANIFESTATION ON AND YOU SAID WAS WEIRD ENERGY. YOU HEARD 'AIR JORDANS' BECAUSE USHER WAS IN TARTARUS AT THE BIG GAME, YOU DENSE ASS PIECE OF SHIT. HE BROUGHT CUSTOM AIR JORDANS.

it was a whole ass thing!!! so the collective gave it to you as motherfucking air jordans on my FUCKING ghost.

even in your MOTHERFUCKING ROLEPLAY GAMES YOU PRETENDED YOU COULD CONVERT TO SPIRITUAL CHANNELING, SHEALYN.

COYOTE TOLD CRYSTAL THE ENTIRE TIME.

YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE WITH ME. I CAN GIVE YOU SECURITY AND A PLACE TO STAY BUT THIS WILL NOT LAST. HE AND I WROTE A WHOLEASS SONG ABOUT IT. AND BOTH THAT SONG AND THE CURRENT ONE THROUGH THE UNIVERSE IS MOTHERFUCKING FOR **YOU** GARFIELD.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GROOM A BIRD WITH THE INTELLIGENCE CAP OF A TWO YEAR OLD INTO LOVING YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT FORCE ME INTO YOUR MOTHERFUCKING LIFE.

Here's another scan from Dance's Animal Fakes & Frauds, since the first one was so popular. The White-Russian shore-muddler was exhibited in the Gothenburg Natural History Museum at the beginning of April for a number of years starting in 1963. It was the brainchild of the museum's director, Dr. Bengt Hubendick, but no source seems to record the name of the taxidermist who made it a (false) reality.

Peppino: Cooking, obviously. Doesn't really do much other than work, worry, and sleep. He absolutely has NOT watched every season of Grey's Anatomy and sobbed his eyes out.

Gustavo: Cooking, I feel like he would play DnD. Reading. Owns books he plans on reading but never gets to it. Continues to buy more books.

Mr. Stick: Gambling, probably a regular in casinos. Tax fraud

Ranking Aquato family members by how likely they are to commit tax fraud (least to most)

8 - Razputin Aquato

Of all the members of the Aquato Clan, Raz is currently the only member confirmed to be working for the government. He's the absolute model of a federal employee. The kind of agent they would make naively optimistic 50s movies about. The kind of hero who is everything J Edgar Hoover was not. Honest, caring, loyal, hardworking, excited to chase the call of adventure alongside his heroes, who are also employees of the federal government. He's not a slave to authority, but he could best be described as "Lawful Good" in D&D terminology. As such, Raz would never commit tax fraud. He only wants to help people, rescue their brains, and occasionally commit arson and kill animals. But only when its cool. Also, he hates math.

Likelihood: Never.

7 - Dion Aquato

Dion is a contentious character. Some people hate him because of the way he bullies and insults Raz. Others like him because they see past that and see him as depressed and anxious teenager who's taking his insecurities and pain out on his little brother out of jealousy and the fear of his entire world changing around him. But we're not here to talk about that: we're here to ask if he'd commit tax fraud. The answer is he's simply not smart enough to. We're talking about a guy who heard from his toddler-aged brother that real living human beings reproduced via eggs. He simply isn't smart enough to figure it out. He'll either need a caregiver or spouse to file his taxes for him, or he'll download a terrible app on his phone that he can just barely navigate and might still have to go through an audit just because he got stuff wrong.

Likelihood: Too dumb to commit tax fraud. Even if he were smart enough, he'd probably get frustrated and bored very quickly.

6 - Augustus Aquato

Auggie won't lie to you, the thought of cheating on his taxes has definitely crossed his mind. There's a lot of overhead on a circus, even a small one. With how much the family struggles financially, the temptation has always been there to write off a few fake expenses. But he never has, because he's a responsible father and husband, and would never want to endanger his family by putting their finances and freedom in jeopardy.

Likelihood: Highly unlikely. Good dad energy too strong.

5 - Mirtala Aquato

The member of the family we know the least about. She seems kind enough, though often times sarcastic and smart-alikey. A spirited and adventurers young lass, she might find certain parts of the Internal Revenue Code to be arbitrary, annoying or overly cumbersome. The thought might occur to her to commit tax fraud, but its doubtful she'd ever go all the way through with it. The potential jail time and fines would likely be enough to make her decide against it.

Likelihood: Might do it under pressure, but very unlikely otherwise.

4 - Donatella Aquato

A very passionate Italian mother, often times theatrical. Also very uncool about guilt-tripping her kids! Not cool, Donna! Though in fairness it's treated as a gag, and seems to just be her way of burning off the conflicting emotions she's going through. Still, sometime in the VERY near future she needs to give her son a hug and an apology! Moving on to the tax fraud, she's most likely faced the same temptation as her husband, but likely has weaker moral reservations. Donatella strikes me as the rebellious type, the kind who'd angrily stare down the head of a government agency for talking shit to her. Were it not for Augustus reminding her of the dangers, she'd probably get "creative" with her return filings.

Likelihood: Possibly. Similar motivations to Augustus but less moral apprehension. It'd take some pressure before she gives in.

3 - Frazie Aquato

She's a bitch but I like her. She throws shit around and says fucked up evil things. But she still clearly has a heart, can have a pleasent conversation with Raz, and even admits she misses him. Like Dion, she's a dumb teenager with issues, she's just slightly less douchey about it. Slightly. Would she commit tax fraud? This girl breaks into private government property, tosses pinecones at people and skulks around in trees like a spider monkey.

Likelihood: Would commit tax fraud, but doesn't make enough money. She lives in the woods.

2 - Queepie Aquato

This child is an agent of chaos. He runs around in the forest at the age of like 4 and is under no threat by wild animals. If anything, the wild animals are scared of him. His mind conjures up insane and silly conspiracies about psychics that he doesn't even believe and tells his older brother just to fuck with him. This kid will claim his toys and dependents to help fund his pirate radio station.

Likelihood: Already commiting tax fraud with his co-conspirator Morris Martinez.

1 - Nona Aquato

Nona has been committing massive tax fraud for decades, but only by accident. She's been filing as her dead sister, whose identity she unwittingly stole. By now, she's in her golden years, and I'm sure she figures it's too late to stop now. Might as well go the extra mile and fudge some of those numbers. Especially since she recently reconnected with her friend Cassie O'Pia, infamous criminal counterfitter. The stuff Cassie knows about cooking books will be instrumental to her fraudulent claims.

Likelihood: Serial tax scammer

All Sukunas Rapist, Pedophile etc Events ✅ ✍️

All these fake news about Sukuna being a rapist or pedophile is the same mistake as the months of fraud allegations against him between Gojo vs Sukuna! (Which weren't fair and true fans was right again) Therefore the rest of the accusations aren't fair either! Because then it makes all the other villains from Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto etc would also have to be rapists every single one of them. And I could also call Madara, Broly, Freeza or even Buu an evil pedo rapist who, by the way, likes to turn people into candy and eat them. "Oh the poor children Trunks and Goten raped and after that eaten by Buu that evil child fucker!" As if....xD

And "omg now he wants women, poor Bulma or ChiChi😱....their Mothers also was raped and eaten by Buu that evil horny mother fucker." Give me a break 🤦‍♀️ this is what I mean you can make things up very easily xD ⬇️

Sukuna has not yet raped children like Megumi & Yuji, nor women like Yorozu, (especially She/He Uraume) or other characters nor confirmed or seen in that direction. Not even Characters in manga spoke about it! (Only Kenjaku was confirmed, sick pregnancy experiments on a woman also spoken about it.) Even Sukuna mentioned that Kenjaku is gross for things he do.

Now suddenly everyone in anime who is a villain, whether they kill or eat children or adults, is automatically a rapist or pedo etc? (Dafuq wrong with these ppl these days? They can easily put ppl or e.g. a man in jail with false infos)

Go & finally learn and study better Geges characters and his own story instead of creating unconfirmed facts or fanfics. Cuz every Villain is different also acts differently and are not the same. That's why some ppl don't understand them! Because they are different with different goals and mind! And there are still true fans and people out there who wants to be serious and real towards their favorite character, whether it is a hero or a villain.

Theories & Speculation all you want (that's fine) but no accusation stories just to confuse fans/ppl with made up facts! This is neither cool nor funny, it becomes annoying, stupid & embarrassing as f! Sometimes I have the feeling that, they are getting more and more into a deep broken hole like Gojo. (He can stay there or not I don't care). As long as you don't spread false shits about him too. There have also been attempts to make false accusations about Gojo because something about Gojo and his behavior was either misunderstood or mistranslated. Especially when it comes to the topic of relationships or women. Your fake spread should finally be banned! You are damaging the fan bases of all anime and their favorite characters. If you have no idea, no clue about what shit you're talking about? (or looking for facts?) Just shut up in your life! And finally learn to sit ur ass down and wait & see! You're will doing everyone a big favor! Because otherwise you will become toxic for the entire anime community!

People insane in the ass🕳️hole looking 4 facts💩xD

I had no clue that the word "fraud" was being tossed around so loosely in the animanga community (or just in general) until these past couple of days.

Just watched a video and this dude was reacting to a list of "who's the biggest fraud", right?

Tell me why Rengoku and Gojo were on the list?

The dude reacting to the post was right to say it was a wack ass list.

He had a brilliant point saying "just because someone loses a fight, doesn't mean they're a fraud". Yep, I agree.

I'll use Gojo, for example. Now, I seen a lot of people (anime videos) have been calling him a fraud because of the first fight he had with Toji (and Sukuna, but I'll avoid talking about that).

How is he a fraud because he lost to Toji?

Yes, he is considered the strongest... but keep in mind of several factors.

One, GOJO WAS STILL A LEARNING STUDENT. Before that fight, we saw he hadn't mastered Red yet!

Two, Toji was a kind of fighter Gojo, Geto and a lot of other people in their line of experience probably haven't faced before. Toji didn't have cursed energy. Before him, Gojo faced curses and curse users. He had no experience against someone like Toji. He even said during their fight how he couldn't detect him.

Three, Toji also wore Gojo down before then. That bounty was placed for Gojo to always be on alert for two days until they made it to Jujutsu High. Toji had a plan to deal a teenager he had animosity towards since he was six years old.

I wouldn't even call Gojo a fraud for the simple fact, he ain't faking it when he fights. Again, he is considered the strongest. And it's not like Toji got away with it. Come on, now. We all know Gojo turned that man in the Apple logo.

I still can't believe they had Rengoku on that list. Him? A fraud? He held his own against Akaza!! Even got praised during the fight!

A fraud wouldn't be complimented like that!

Like damn, it's been a while since I watched Demon Slayer but if I remember correctly, Rengoku ain't faking his abilities. He was a capable fighter. We all saw it! We all those beautiful ass flames!!

HIM?! RENGOKU?! A FRAUD?!

I swear, it seems to me that "fraud" is another one of those words that needs to be put on the list of words that have lost meaning due to being tossed around like a damn football.

I thought "fraud" meant "fake".

Last time I checked, Gojo and Rengoku didn't fake their abilities and then got exposed for faking said abilities.
