Wait I’m so confused i just saw like two people talking about something about a head cannon of Yuu molesting Mika? I’ve never seen anything like that like you’ve said I’m just curious who started that up and why? I am pretty new here and Im just really confused really sorry if I’m being annoying or don’t want to talk about it i just didn’t know if this was some tumblr drama or what? Sorry again

Hi!

It’s pretty standard drama all around, yeah.

We all were freaking out over something that happened in 2016…

…okay I can’t even pretend to take that seriously, people. Bringing up discourse over ancient history has never been a good look for anyone. They did state that it was getting attention now, however, and yet despite dedicated efforts to track it down, it hasn’t surfaced. As of this moment there is no proof it exists. I’ve been in the fandom since 2015 and have seen it all, but this doesn’t ring any bells for me either.

However, the real problem is not “Yuu is a molester and/or pervert,” which is either an overblown exaggeration or doesn’t exist, but how this connects to expressions of sexuality in headcanons and fiction. We have no “X character is Y sexuality!” evidence to point to (as with most fictional characters), so it’s up to the imagination of the writer and how they want to fill in that dimension of a character’s life (from serious fanfic to more casual shitposts).

Unless you headcanon a character as being part of the ace spectrum, usually you want to address sexuality at some point. A character expressing their sexuality with another character consensually does not make them a molester—that seems obvious, right? A molester by definition is someone who sexually assaults or abuses someone, or more colloquially one who harasses someone in a persistent/aggressive manner.

It stands to reason that the consensual expression of sexual attraction towards someone else, then, is not a crime nor an act of molestation. What form that expression takes is individual to different characters and couples—and in the domain of fanfiction, where multiple authors handle the same characters, no one’s interpretation will be exactly the same. Which isn’t a bad thing! It gives everyone their own flair and helps fandom thrive.

OP themselves has written posts of Yuu wanting Mika to “destroy his ass” or Mika groping him in front of his squad, which is fine but, again, why criticize one thing and then like the other?

Even if OP said these were shitposts, the ones of Yuu looking at Mika’s ass were too. They should be taken under the same criteria.

If someone popular in the tumblr fandom was writing Yuu as an actual molester, I would have totally seen it. In fact neither I nor any of my friends saw it either! So this discourse can’t be about that.

Afterwards, OP acted as if the people who questioned where they saw the headcanon were defending the idea of Yuu molesting Mika or treating them unfairly “despite they were just talking about something important that was happening in the fandom”. When really it wasn’t happening. They never showed any proof and no one else saw anything.

No one said they enjoyed the idea of Yuu molesting Mika, and the part that is frustrating is that many people believed it and someone even wrote an “explanation” about how people want to ship ferimika but knowing it’s wrong they resort to write Yuu with Ferid’s personality, which never happened either! People are too quick to “defend Yuu” to realize no one is doing this in reality.

“But there are fics of Yuu raping Mika!”

Yeah, but I haven’t seen any in like two years and there are three times as many fics of Mika raping Yuu. Let’s not even talk about the doujins because I’m already grossed out.

Honestly, I think this problem is about something entirely different, based on something OP said:

“Making Yuu sound creepy and perverted and obsessed with Mika’s ass and nothing else is a little out of character for him.“

And I think that’s the origin.

In truth, no one wrote Yuu as “obsessed with Mika’s ass and nothing else”, but there’s occasional posts of Yuu looking at Mika under a sexual light or wanting to touch him, so my guess is that this what bothered OP and brought such a dramatic issue.

How is looking at someone’s ass and raping them correlated?

I believe OP just brought the “people like the headcanon of Yuu molesting Mika” discourse to bring light upon something they didn’t like. They also said:

“Stop trying to make Yuu a sex-craved idiot. Since when has he ever desired sex?”

The idea of Yuu wanting Mika sexually is harmless and I fail to see the correlation with sexual assault.

The main reason I believe this is the case is because I didn’t find out about this discourse via that person’s blog.

I found out because I received an anon ask telling me “Yuu is like Ferid now, I see”. As you can imagine, I was quite startled, so I asked what they meant and someone sent me this:

Later on I was done with this discourse so I deleted both, but basically this is how I found out about the issue.

Clearly, I had no idea where it came from and started asking people for an explanation. Eventually, someone told me about a post they saw written by the one who originated this discourse and I understood.

Anon must have seen my old post I reblogged recently where Yuu said “only I can touch Mika like this” (in reference to Shinoa trying to touch fem!Mika) and, having read OP’s discourse of “people write Yuu as a pervert like Ferid” they decided to send me that…

But clearly my post was a funny scenario, and Yuu didn’t mean he can touch Mika without his consent but rather that only he can touch him, not Shinoa.

However, it shows the stretch of the discourse. Relating Yuu wanting to touch Mika with Yuu literally molesting him.

In conclusion: think critically about the things you read, fellas. This reminds me of 2016 when people said people were hating on Shinoa and everyone proceeded to write positivity posts about her and hating on the “haters”. However, if someone actually took the time to search for said hate, they’d find none. I was one of the dorks who believed the discourse, until one day I thought “hey, how come I saw nothing? I’m on this tag 24/7″. That’s when it hit me.
