What happened with Tokyo Ghoul (other than the really uncomfortable seeming potential decision to pair the protag with a girl who's physically hit him a few times when he's been through abuse before)?

Re: Tumblr dramas

Nothing else happened, people were losing their shit and calling the mangaka homophobic for pairing up the main character with a girl instead of the fujoshi-preferred guy. The "abuse" issue didn't really come up, I think, even though that would probably be a much more valid reason to be upset about this instead of "super popular seinen/horror manga has het canon ship, stop the presses".
(I'm a slasher, too, but damn, the entitlement and rudeness of some so-called fans is ridiculous.)

Eh, the only people I know into it do prefer the guy, but moreso because he doesn't apparently slam the love interest's head into things and beat the shit out of him and would prefer it because it wouldn't be an abused kid heading into another abusive relationship, which a lot of abused fandom people are becoming sick of in media. Which I agree with.

Re: Tumblr dramas

I absolutely agree that this is a shitty trope that needs to die already!
But the main thing I've seen people accusing the mangaka of/cite as the reason for their threats and suicide suggestions is "homophobia", not "but she abused him". And even though that's a terrible trope, it's still not a reason to threaten a creator over.
(Though I have to admit I'm not in the fandom, but I've seen quite a few tweets and it's pretty nasty.)

Funnily enough I had no idea she hit him - Its not my fandom - But I damn sure knew she was a girl. Accusations of homophobia, death threats, and pleas for the mangka to kill himself all centered on the fact that she was a girl and not a boy.

...Looked it up, worse than hitting him. Sounds like the potentially canon het ship is one where the girl has slammed the guy's head into things and beaten the shit out of him a few times. Um.

Re: Tumblr dramas

Yup. Then again this is anime. Guys gotta take all sorts of shit in anime from the girls they like. It's part of the tsundere thing. Hell if any of the gay shop from Fandom ever came through I'm sure the majority of them would be equally abusive.

I suppose it comes down to how it's played. If he gets up and rubs his head grumbling about the crazy woman, I'd say it's typical tsundere stuff. If he doesn't get up and starts bleeding out his ears, or we see him later weeping about it, it's played as abuse and fucked up - although even then not the worse relationship Canon in anime.

All that aside I don't seem to be seeing anyone complain about that element so much as the "They sunk my ship, and I those homophobes!" element.
