Too be fair, the moral justifications were already there. They just got worse when people forgot they're allowed to dislike things that aren't Evil.

fandom conflating "squick" with "trigger" has been particularly insidious

[(Anonymous)]

I completely agree. Also YKINMK (and that's okay).

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I also think Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's OK needs to become a thing again, along with Don't Like, Don't Read.

[(Anonymous)]

I really like the colors of this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Overall, I agree with the sentiment, anon.

I get the impression that I'm watching the tide turning, lately, and the dogmatists who used to be able to access social approval for their little spectacles of petty judgement are playing to dwindling and less sympathetic audiences. I don't know what's getting people over their susceptibility to just believe it, when some melodramatic no-account asserts the only reason other fans could possibly like something that the speaker detests is because they are all morally deficient, but I would love to understand why people finally seem to be getting fed up with that narrative. And, as far as I'm concerned, that's long overdue!

Eh, just because their hatred is "justified" doesn't make it not suck to experience.

Also - knowing nothing about this story - if their hatred and refusal to forgive takes a form closer to "you are a Bad Person and nothing you do can change that" than "I cannot tolerate you in my life and nothing you do will change that", that would be a little more knife-twisty I think.

Thanks for making my secret, Secret Maker!

Nana's classmates were bugs to her, that's probably the worst part about what she did and why she did it. They literally weren't people to her and she murdered them without mercy. Even seeing things from Nana's perspective didn't immediately make me sympathize with her, so I have little issue with her classmates being reluctant to let her off the hook. Nana did kill one of the truly decent people in her class and also created a monster out of another.

It took finding out Nana was brainwashed and lied to for years before I could understand her choices and feel sorry for her. But I'm still a long way from trusting her heel-turn because I don't think it's that easy to turn off whatever it was that allowed her to unperson her classmates in the first place. I think that bigotry is still part of her, but guilt and fighting for her life is masking it right now.

I'm not sure it's mid tbh, there's something incredibly compelling about the core characters. The scenario is very ordinary but the writing is really solid for dialogue and motivation.

I don't really know what to add to the secret for proper discussion but I think it's incredibly satisfying to see Nana be hated, but Kyouya not get his victory over her in seeing that - all he wanted was an ally, it turns out, and he's earned her. It's the pieces falling into place and it's not pretty, but it's so satisfying to see her total heel turn coming through.

I always confuse this show with The Executioner and Her Way of Life.

I mean he might do that without being an 'evil' version...

Me neither, OP. No interest whatsoever. There are a lot of comedies I haven't seen really.

This entire secret is a shining example of "it is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled."

You sound like a generally smart person, OP. Having done this doesn't make you a stupid person or a person with no self control, it just makes you someone who was at one point emotionally/psychologically vulnerable. And everyone, in the long-enough-run, has a moment of emotional/psychological vulnerability.

Gacha games and shit like this are called predatory because its exactly people in those moments that they're waiting to jump on and suck dry, which they do, a lot. They know it, of course. Catching "whales" and waiting patiently to catch them is their entire business model.

This isn't to say gacha games can't be good games or fun game or totally safe to play as long as you stay calm and rational all the time or have the patience to trudge through f2p. But to deny that the system is lurking there, all the time, luring people with shiny colors and flashing lights and 8000% made up value promos just waiting for every single one of its players to have a moment of weakness, is being willfully blind.

I hope you find something that makes you happy again, and I hope it's not another gacha.

(If the thread contains spoilery/triggery content please warn/post as 2nd comment so it collapses!
Please collapse images, too!)

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker
