@LucyGenV Thank you for at least reading what I had to say! I know we won’t agree on everything but that’s why i enjoy talking to people with different opinions, I like to see where they are coming from
@cynthiapve I think we just have different interpretations of character motivations and a back and forth isn’t really gonna change that… neither of us hold the truth of the author’s intent and that’s just the reality of it
@cynthiapve I don’t even have a problem with Shampoo I own merch of her, I love all the characters a lot and i just get disappointed when others don’t 🥲 But i know that’s just how it goes with everything… you can’t change that. but just thank you for not resorting to insults lol
@cynthiapve But she doesn’t know he’s in love with her that’s why I’m trying to say 😭 It’s shown over and over that she thinks he’s just a good friend despite it being obvious he has a crush on her. Akane also doesn’t understand the boys ego as shown in the Mousse fight, it’s not personal
@cynthiapve It’s just annoying seeing people inflate her bad sides to death and ignore all her good ones and then act like that’s all she is. I hope you understand that’s where I’m coming from… it’s really all a matter of opinion… I just want to understand other people’s thought process
@cynthiapve Yes because it’s a slapstick romcom and the moment the couple gets together the series dies 🤷♂️ Trust me not everyone is a fan of that. But Ranma does the same thing and no one is a perfect saint in this series so it’s always just funny to me when people only get mad abt Akane
@cynthiapve she doesn’t take advantage of him bro and no i’m not saying that 😭 stop putting words in my mouth lol i just said she doesn’t owe him a date or anything…
@cynthiapve Again I think you are taking this a bit too seriously 😅 As I said the joke is that it’s supposed to be seriously obvious Ryoga likes Akane but she doesn’t get it, your reply doesn’t really change any of that… I think you’re misunderstanding the tone (〃´∀`);;:
@cynthiapve And sorry to take this so seriously since it’s a comedy, but Akane doesn’t owe Ryoga anything… just because he likes her, doesn’t mean she needs to reciprocate… I just dislike this point entirely about Ryoga… she never manipulates him… she’s very oblivious, that’s the bit lol
@cynthiapve This is a perfect example of a bad faith reading, thank you! She does not understand what Ryoga’s gifts mean. She thinks of him as a friend. That’s the joke. It’s obvious to us, as readers, but not Akane. She doesn’t “use” him. Show me an example. Where’s your evidence?
@cynthiapve@LucyGenV She IS sweet with him though. It’s not a black and white situation like you’re treating it. You’re using strong language here, with words like “always”. When does she ‘always’ mock Ranma lol 😭 If she was intended to be this always negative force she would’ve been written like so
@cynthiapve > She’s not perfect
I never said she was, by the way. Try rereading what I said. Good characters have flaws. Akane jumps to conclusions and lets her insecurity in regards to romance take priority. It’s a gag series. You’re not supposed to take it that seriously haha
@LucyGenV Sorry for the long reply lol. I just like talking about different characters. I kind of went on a tangent in the middle so I’m sure it could’ve been shorter. But I don’t want to spend all day on twitter yapping so I’m not proofreading it&more i could say but i shut up lmfao
@LucyGenV@evilangelchique@cynthiapve@themercurylel You know, you can dislike a character without rewriting their personality. It’s confusing to me because you love to explore Shampoo’s character (which isn’t bad!) but will beat down other characters in the process. I don’t understand why you treat only Akane as two dimensional
