@528haoz Yh i also agree that this is a breaking point where he either gives in to pessimism and retreats further into his world, or goes back to being hopecore nakamura. All things considered, he has been doing so well but I am also worried for how the next episode is gonna go ToT
@528haoz Dare I say the reason why this show is refreshing is because Nakamura is the most unapologetically and bravely I’ve seen a teenager deal with queer identity in a conservative setting. Sure, a lot of escapism goes into it, but that is his primary coping mechanism.
@528haoz Nakamura never showed any signs he was at odds with his identity. He is of course not open with it, bcs he knows it’s not commonly accepted, but he created his own world where he was able to indulge in queer joy. This episode is just where he was confronted that reality.

@sxtbbh@clearadin I think it reaches the territory of hate for fun when you have nothing of value to add so you just reiterate the same shit for engagement. And yeah calling out the hypocrisy of people who never pay attention to any major world issues is warranted.
@sxtbbh@clearadin I do agree. But i think it reaches a point when the mistake is not colossal, has already been called out by enough people, that piling on with the same criticism just feels like hopping on a hate bandwagon. What are you saying that has not been said already?
@yasuno_chan@pam_mada@AOsagawa I think you don’t understand. The implication is not that kids at that age don’t experiment with intimacy. Thats normal. But you as an adult, making lewd comments about minor characters is fucking weird. It is not that hard to refrain from. Especially when they are 15.
@yasuno_chan@pam_mada@AOsagawa Both are 15 in the anime. But even then, turning a 15 year old into a 16 year old MINOR to make threesome suggestions does not make you any less of a creep.
