r/whenthe but Lemmy.

GIF macros.

You like text on GIF memes? Cool, we do also.

No idea what the fuck we mean? Look at the other posts and you'll get the gist.

Join in and have fun lads.

P.S. It might be easiest to upload your GIFs to Imgur/Giphy and put a direct link as your post (thus embedding) as Lemmy often doesn't play nicely with them natively.

adds nothing to the show except making me way more uncomfortable while watching (sh.itjust.works)

Hunter x Hunter

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Hisoka isn't sexually attracted to little boys. He's sexually attracted to strong fighters. Just because the two main protagonists are little boys doesn't mean--

Yeah, fuck that, can't do it. Yeah, Hisoka is creepy as fuck. But he's supposed to be creepy as fuck. He, at least, is never supposed to get audience sympathy or trust. He's a creepy groomer and is treated as such by the narrative.

It's better than Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) where the protagonist is a pedophile, gets ostracized in his original life for being one, and then after reincarnating proceeds to indulge his desires with little to no pushback in the series. People find him relatable and misunderstood. That's 100x more egregious than anything Hisoka did.

Jobless reincarnation sounds exactly like an anime of self-indulgence haha

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah Hisoka's straight up a pedo. So is Rudius (jobless reincarnation). I actually kind of hated mushoku tensei for the weird romance harem quadrangle thing, like it's just the author's barely disguised fetish.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

The most egregious part of the quadrangle is that it isn't a mutually understood and entered into polygamy. He's an adulterer and basically forced the, again, children into accepting it.

Hisoka???

[–] belluck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Leorio probably. Hisoka was a pervert in a villainous way, Leorio was perverted for comedic relief. One of the very few things I dislike about that show

I'm recently rewatching bleach and Japan has issues. I don't remember leorio ever doing perverted stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised. It's been a while since I saw it though
