A lot of guys need to come to terms with the fact that just because the story wasn't written the way you wanted it, doesn't mean you suddenly know better than the actual author. If you want dolls to play with, make fanfiction/fanworks. All this does is make you look arrogant.
That woman is 100% right and she should say it. I have no issues with people coming into hobbies wanting to learn and be open-minded. I have a problem with people who refuse to integrate, complain about everything, and then get mad when you tell them not to engage.
In Gravity Falls, Grunkle Stan is disqualified from running for political office because he has an extensive criminal record and is deemed unfit for such a serious and important job.
This was done by the crew to remind us that the show is a work of fiction.
🐴 Rice Shower: The Black Assassin
November 1992. Rice Shower wins his first major race, the Kikuka Sho, defeating heavy favorite Mihono Bourbon, who was chasing the Triple Crown. Instant villain status.
To prepare for his next target, two-time Tenno Sho Spring champion Mejiro McQueen, his team trained him with an intensity that drew mockery. Nobody believed he could win. The training made him so on-edge that his jockey said approaching him felt like he might "breathe fire" he was afraid of getting bitten.
April 23, 1993. In a three-way sprint to the line, Rice Shower held off McQueen and won by 2.5 lengths, crushing McQueen's shot at a historic third straight title. Reporters didn't even ask his jockey how it felt to win, only how it felt to ruin McQueen's dream.
That day, he became "The Black Assassin."
June 4, 1995. Running the Takarazuka Kinen , a race partly decided by fan vote, where he was the leading vote-getter, Rice Shower lost his footing on the third corner and fell, shattering his front leg. He was euthanized on the track. He was 6 years old.
After his death, the "villain" narrative softened. Fans say simply: "He loved Kyoto racecourse, and that's where he fell."
