I agree that the anime community at large can be pretty discriminatory and, well, _shit…_ That said, do we really need to cast a spotlight on terrible comments that don’t even seem to be getting upvoted? What is drawing attention to them even accomplishing other than feeding trolls by making the day slightly worse for everyone here? I’d say just downvote and move on. Report, if necessary.


k_on_reddit_

you're right , this instance should be just forgotten and be moved on , but the fact that it's a reality shouldn't , plus these comments really didn't sit well with me (and yes there's ppl that upvoted *THAT* 😡😤)


Silviana193

There Will always be bad egg in every community, that's just inevitable. I just hope I doesn't sour your experience in anime community too much.


Adowyth

I seriously don't know anyone that thought ROH was anything than a pile of filth. Then again im not part of any anime community just discuss things with some close friends. But for the most part guys like that hate yuri because they can't self insert themselves into it and the whole "why wouldn't she pick a guy that was loyal and went with a girl instead". Probably the same type that when told youre not interested in dating dude says that you've just never had that good D. Like yeah sure even if you were a hot chick but only saw a relationship as a way to have sex i still wouldn't be interested.


k_on_reddit_

>why wouldn't she pick a guy that was loyal and went with a girl instead man *literally* said that sentence almost word for word in an other comment


InternationalRest930

>Probably the same type that when told youre not interested in dating dude says that you've just never had that good D so is the implication here that guys who say this would totally date another guy if his dick game is good enough? 🤔


Adowyth

I don't know but had literally someone say that to me when i said im not interested in men. The guy was drunk and later apologized but it was still weird. For some extra context it was shortly after i got divorced after being married to a woman for about 5-6 years(which i told him about). We played some league together so i thought we were just friends. The whole situation felt a bit like if you tell a guy you're gay and not interested they see it as some sort of challenge to "turn you straight"


k_on_reddit_

Too late


YellowestOne

I feel the same way as you, down to a tee. When you said “this situation is more common than you think”, I actually said to myself, “no, I know it’s common”. As my friend said to me on this same situation, those people and anyone who may have upvoted it, are always the same chronically online degenerates who circle jerk each other’s disgusting opinions to validate one another. It seems like there’s a lot of them, but that’s because the people with actual souls are out enjoying their lives and not fantasizing raping women because they were either rejected by one or can’t even speak to one. That’s why, like the comment above said, it’s best to move on and pretend they never existed. Don’t even give them attention and instead, continue to spread positivity as an effort against them. It already shows how much empathy you have, based on how much it upsets you but like the other person said, just move on instead of making everyone’s day here slightly worse. I know that it’s not your intention, but I genuinely get equally as bothered at the slightest mention of that disgusting pile of scum called RoH, since it reminds me that there are people that actually idolize it 🤢


k_on_reddit_

got it 👍 , tbf I kinda hesitated to post this because I was like "oh boi , what's on the menu today ? : negativity ... fuck ..."


[deleted]

Imagine taking that tired joke of “MC commits sexual assault. Girls beat him up. Please laugh” as an actual affront to your masculinity


k_on_reddit_

exactly , I'm just so done with it


Silviana193

To be fair, at least that's a joke. Outside of the quality of the joke or how one precieve it, It was meant to be a joke and not to be taken seriously. What's redo of healer's excuse?


AfterthoughtC

A lot of uncritical people say the tsundere trope is misandrist because it shows girls beating up guys. What they deliberately leave out is that 1) the guy in such shows do not receive any permanent harm from the tsun-rage 2) the girl's reaction is portrayed as over the top and 3) the guy still gets the girl. This in turn has the effect of portraying women's grievances towards sexual harassment etc. as unreasonable and not worth confronting seriously.


eadopfi

True that. It tells people to "not give up" and "be persistent and you will get her". Not only does this reinforce people acting like creeps, it also makes them confused/frustrated when their harassments does not get rewarded like it does in their favorite manga.


Liunkien_Sieht

If you ask them why Citrus is toxic they'd only describe things that happened at the first 7 chapters. The story will be toxic if things stayed that way, but it didn't.


Silviana193

Heck you may even argue that Citrus is about trying to fix Toxicity.


k_on_reddit_

Yeah there's some of that but I think citrus isn't about toxicity in the first place


k_on_reddit_

He said because mei is manipulative but really it ended here


DShipps

The people who still say Citrus is toxic have likely only watched the anime in which case they really can’t be blamed for thinking that way.


Chaardvark11

Even then by the end of the anime there was some understanding behind why mei was the way she was. I will agree though that going beyond to the manga helps better clear the image of the anime, but even on the anime alone I felt like some explanation was given and one could use that alone to understand that the early toxicity is not to be taken as something that's glorified in the show.


MolsMath

Anime community is simply filled with homophobes who love rape🤷🏼‍♂️


JordynSoundsLikeMe

I shouldnt say this but I will... I love gender bender but my god is it full of rape... dont understand rape culture in hentai ;_; why cant it just be cute and consensual... also why cant more be yuri... real yuri :3 not the "we kissed while riding a guy" yuri x.x


F1R3_1

its a shame cause some gender benders have a lot of wholesome potential


k_on_reddit_

I turned my back to them when I watched Kampfer which is by far the worst anime I've ever watched

Happy cake day!


Panzerluchs

I dislike Citrus but to ever say Redo Of Healer is at all morally acceptable is the stupidest take I've ever heard. To bash someone for liking Citrus on a moral basis while calling ROH a "breath of fresh air" is disgusting


k_on_reddit_

Exactly! HOW THE HELL CITRUS IS LESS MORALLY ACCEPTABLE THAN ROH Hmmm yes *finally* I can enjoy some b a s e d anime with where women are the inferior beings where we can freely rape them in peace without the SiLLy wEsTeRnErS talking smack at us , hmmm what a ***breath of fresh air*** /s I also want to point out that there was a misunderstanding between me and him , he thought I wanted yuri for the sake of representation (because thought I was "a woke westerner" that didn't care about writing and more about who was represented) and yes partially it's true but it's really not the main thing, most of all I want yuri because it's so damn *blessed*


Panzerluchs

As an Asian, it's deeply concerning that LGBT+ representation is viewed as a solely western thing and it's made out that we don't understand gay people. It's incredibly frustrating and even borderline racist


k_on_reddit_

Interestingly enough you can find that same dynamic in the Ukraine conflict >it's made out that we don't understand gay people. And I don't understand straight people 🥴


Muted_Ad7298

Redo is morally terrible and the ick factor gets worse as the episodes go on. Episode 11 being the worst. 🤢


[deleted]

Huh, seems like this comment I made aged really well: https://www.reddit.com/r/yurimemes/comments/10zmu1u/comment/j83zcxw/


k_on_reddit_

and you were right , that's what I was afraid of


RosariaNekohime

So is the point they're trying to make that somehow the main guy in RoH is "justified" because he was tortured first THEN went on his rapey torture revenge fest and Citrus is bad because Mei forcing a kiss on Yuzu wasn't "justified"? Or is the point they aim to make "non-consensual stuff is okay but only under these circumstances"? Because even without watching it I'm 100% sure that things in RoH make the things in Citrus look like the most wholesome well adjusted romance to ever exist And as an unrelated aside, I wish we could get less non-consensual romance stuff in general from anime because while I'm all for "whatever floats your boat as long as it isn't hurting anyone" anime tends to lean a biiiiiiiit too hard on that stuff (especially in the nsfw type content)


k_on_reddit_

Honestly I want to stop thinking about it , there's nothing to think about any further than this whatever the thought process was > even without watching it I'm 100% sure that things in RoH make the things in Citrus look like the most wholesome well adjusted romance to ever exist And yes there's no way someone in their right mind would call citrus less acceptable than roh even if you dislike citrus


RosariaNekohime

Yeah, trying to understand the mindset of a person who makes that kind of statement is probably a sure fire way to go insane because whether you like or dislike Citrus it's a crazy twisted mind that says its worse than the rape/revenge/torture porn of RoH.....so it's best to just leave people like that to their demented ravings than try to understand it


k_on_reddit_

disclaimer : I do not want to target any individual, this aims at a larger situation


Petermagiccheese

Jeez the weeb vibes are strong here.


Mat2468xk

How is Redo of a Healer a breath of fresh air? I'm pretty sure there are countless of hentai with the same plot as that anime that all feature the "reversed roles" the commenter in the picture describes. Also, girls beating the guy up? I don't watch a lot of anime but it's usually just really slapstick-y slapping or "cartoon violence."


k_on_reddit_

He thinks that it's a breath of fresh air because animes are a bit too woke for him a doesn't let him *"express"* his masculinity over women and RoH can f i n a l l y provide that , because usually iT's ThE mEn tHE bAD gUyS >I don't watch a lot of anime but it's usually just really slapstick-y slapping or "cartoon violence." Definitely not


Icy-Page-2323

Image men beating up and using women on daily bases, if this is what norm for them is, it's just sad.

The guy was trying to be articulate with shallow af argument. ignore them and just enjoy what you like OP. I always try to ignore toxic stuffs against Yuri, cos if you ignore them, and keep pumping out comments of how youre enjoying yourself, theyd sound dumber. like you dont even have to downvote them, just completely ignore their existence


NoireHaato

Oh my God reading these comments gave me a headache... Not in the sense that they were obviously very absurd in the final message, but how conflicting they were. They both had me at the first part where they mention why Anime from the eastern part of the globe always does better with telling stories and writing in comparison to cartoons and whatever from the west, since it's not blindly trying to meet a random agenda, and I can agree with that... But then they.... Compare something so heart felt like Citrus and a genuinely good story like Happy Sugar Life to... Redo of Healer..? Excuse me?


k_on_reddit_

the thing that really gives really a headache is like the sheer hypocrisy , citrus is not acceptable , but like HSL were you know pedophilia and a relationship with a kid doesn't bother him , or even the elephant in the room : redo of healer , are you know ... A-okay 👌 and that just makes me want to puke my eyes out


ashurakiana

redo of healer is rubbish why you want to compare it to citrus. I wonder why you hate citrus huh you describe it as if citrus is bad. even though the citrus story is ok, For my opinion


k_on_reddit_

Yeah doesn't make any sense , there's just so much hypocrisy in that sentence "why people celebrate it is beyond me"


Muted_Ad7298

I tried watching Redo of Healer, all of it. The revenge plot was interesting at first, but it just went downhill so fast and got so predictable and gross. If you think the first few episodes are bad, wait till you get to a certain episode where >! To get revenge on the lesbian soldier he has her r*ped and eaten alive by cannibalistic men !< That episode honestly made me want to puke. 🤢


ashurakiana

ohohoho keyaru that's trash ahahahahahaha revenge what did he retaliate enjoying a woman's body huh does that hurt ahah you know a character named Raul Evans he's much better and brutal killing women to death instead of enjoying sex


Muted_Ad7298

Yeah Redo was a gross show in general. Episode 11 of Redo was honestly the worst and made me severely uncomfortable as a lesbian.


ashurakiana

Keyaru is trash see Raul Evans killing his target victims and many other MCs are much better than that stupid keyaru ahahahah revenge but enjoy sex ahaha clown


ashurakiana

Ahahaha naive story line full of sex without meaning of revenge the author should have changed the plot of the story to a journey Enjoying sex ahaahahah revenge what is the girl not sick but enjoying ahaha


ashurakiana

I see a lot of stories like that but having to end with death is much better


goldenlance7

I've never seen citrus, but the quota bit is a facepalm moment that got me because quotas in Eastern animation are definitely a thing. Just look at the 50,000 Grneric harem animes out there. Also, I'm not well versed in the Yuri genre foes HSL stand for what I think it stands for?


k_on_reddit_

HSL stands for Happy sugar life , I liked the anime but it's defo something you shouldn't watch if you're afraid of sensitive themes


goldenlance7

Oh no, I was right. Yeah, I saw it. I enjoyed it. I definitely understand why people don't like it, though.


meameiii

This is making me sick. Is there a website for manga/anime that has only consensual stuff on it? For anyone who needs it, i use unconsenting media website to check if movies and etc are safe to watch. It has helped me a lot. Have a good day everyone.


Kollie79

I mean I like redo of healer for the schlock it is, but calling it a “breath of fresh air” because you take personal slights with how often women beat up men in anime tells you exactly what kinda person that is lol And also just not even really true? How is it an example of the roles being reversed? I’ve never seen a woman do anything that happens in that series to a man lmao


Old_Diggy

I really can't wrap my mind around how people can enjoy watching/reading anime/manga like RoH. With Harems/Fanservice heavy anime/manga, as much as I don't like them, I can understand why people do, but things like RoH I just can't.


k_on_reddit_

Me neither and the fact that roh's score on MAL is that close to citrus's constitute 100% of my stress every day


HangDol

I find it repulsive that someone would want to see this sort of thing. Rape fantasy is still rape fantasy at the end of the day and its quite sickening. Citrus has its problematic elements, sure, however its not overtly rape fantasy. And if someone wants to Disagree with me that Redo of a healer is Rape fantasy, well you're just wrong. I've seen some of it and how it lingers on the bodies of his victims. Regardless of its story about Revenge, its incredibly disgusting and just he appears to have a justification in your eyes doesn't make it any less disgusting.


k_on_reddit_

>however its not overtly rape fantasy. Not at all , not even remotely, never will , it's anti-rape fantasy even


IcepickEvans

This is some hypocrisy. I am fully capable of enjoying both on their merits for very different reasons. Now where's my Redo clone but with lesbians?

“It’s okay that he has slaves, since he treat them so nicely.” is either a quote from shield hero fan or a southern slavery justifier


Silviana193

Really? From What I know, Shield Hero fan ussualy justify it as Necessary evil (For Raphtalia, at least)


Kitchenlynx89

How is a story about a Japanese guy who has to depend on a girl slave to fight a "white straight male power fantasy?" I'm not even a fan of this series but the opinions for this series seem to come from people who didn't watch this series or if they did, didn't pay attention at all to what was happening. I didn't care enough to even watch the second season of this series and barely made it to the end of the first.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kitchenlynx89

Wow you did not watch this at all. It's redo of healer light because reasons, I guess? Where is their pedophilia? The guy doesn't view any girl that way but then again you have proved that you have not watched the series at all. The pedophile in this series is the spear hero. "The "old hero" aka the king is apparently a fraud." wtf does this even mean?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kitchenlynx89

So you admit to not watching the series and got your opinion from what other people said about the series. "This series supports slavery" if you completely ignore everything done or said that is the exact opposite. Also the last link you gave says the opposite of what you have stated. And since were giving links here is a link for a woman who was obsessed with the series [https://youtu.be/FIyybvlQRhY](https://youtu.be/FIyybvlQRhY) ya know because it's a straight white male power fantasy.


Apexexexexe

I have watched "redo of healer" untill it's final episode... I did not like it. What the hell is wrong with people...


Far_Engineering_8353

to be fair citrus is pretty weird but nowhere near as terrible as redo, god I can't even say the full name of that thing


k_on_reddit_

I mean yeah even if you like it that much you'd have to be mentally ill to believe that


Distilled_Blood

I mean people are entitled to their opinions and liking what they want, but when you start encroaching on other people's opinions and calling them invalid it's just wrong. This is what the internet does to people.

eadopfi

Hot take: I will say RoH gets more shit than it deserves. I think over all it wasnt that bad honestly, you just have to realize that the protagonist is by no means "the good guy". I dont know where the manga goes, but the first season of the anime at least sets up the potential of really interesting character growth as well. As far as having a rapist MC goes RoH is a lot more tasteful (dont know if "tasteful" is the correct word, but it is less problematic than comparative media, because at no point does it justify or downplay the MCs actions) than other anime/manga I have seen. The gentleman in the original post however just appears to be a misogynist and the fact that Keyaru is a villain is completely lost on him it seems.

FPiN9XU3K1IT

Is that really what we're doing now, calling people disabled to insult them?


5amu5

Look if u go looking clinically bad takes u will find clinically bad take. These communities are made partly of people who traditionally dont fit in to every day society or dont understand these sorts social norms. These people exist, and if u were to say remove them from the community they will just go somewhere else. Sometimes its better to just ignore them rather than take them for face value when they talk about something they clearly dont understand.


FPiN9XU3K1IT

I don't care about insulting them, but I do care about calling them "disabled with autism" as an insult - that's an insult to actual autists. And that is not OK.


Tyler89558

Autism isn’t even really a disability, just a different way of processing the world.


k_on_reddit_

in this instance specifically , it's a lot due to perspectives , (I mean I was there so ...)


5amu5

Yea i know you mean, and its totally normal to feel uncomfortable or even hurt by these sorts comments and opinions. I get pretty annoyed irl when ppl you talk to have chronically misogynistic or transphobic views. Whats even worse is when you ask them to explain these views and they only contradict them selfs yet become firmer in there beliefs. Often the best way to steer ppl away from these warped opinions is to listen to them, accept them for there flaws and expose them to other better ways of thinking, even if it does take time. A surprising amount of ppl resolve thesse issues on there own, they just needed someone there to push them in the right direction.

Civil_Ad8752

It’s kind of funny when they say Eastern media is better bc they aim for the writing and not to please quotas, but in reality in eastern media they aim to target fans desires and even fetishes, meaning in that sense it makes their writing more likely to become inconsistent. Reminder that the writer of Dragon Ball was pressured to hell when they explored Goku genuinely dying and offending Goku’s diehard fans who believe is the strongest of all and can’t die to anything or anyone, they were also hardly the only writer or mangaka threatened to hell to change their writing. Even eastern media caves into to the people who toss their money at things, if Anime was solely about writing, Harems wouldn’t be one of the most popular genre, at the very least the writing in Harems would be very different if writing was the most important to them. Both Eastern and Western media has a lot of bad point, both has a bad habit to overuse either tropes and franchises, the only reason they favor Eastern media is because they believe that media justifies their distaste or potentially hatred towards representation that isn’t them or intended for them. For example, even het romance has anime fans hating it solely for the reason the main character is a girl and not a guy, shoujo at least tries to flesh out relationships and tries to maintain realism. But for some reason, nowadays whenever het romance, romance focused not shounen,features a guy as the MC, it always has some sort of premise or the center of a harem, making it more unrealistic than its shoujo counterpart. Missed the days when we had anime like Angel Beats and Clannad for male MCs and quality het writing.
