@hobikkuno even if this was true you literally just said why people prefer him lol tanjirou is just kind and that’s it. denji is character with struggles from abuse and actually has flaws that needs to be worked on that’s what makes him interesting
If you read takes on this about half on them are shaming denji for being a victim and the other half are like "tanjiro because he's nice and aligns with my own values". Which goes to show how these people do not think about it from a writing sense but from a moral contest
so many thoughts about the way butches and butch hcs are treated in fandoms and how some of u lowkey feel threatened by them and see masculinity in a woman as something she has to compensate for in return
