'Strong female lead' this 'strong female lead' that. what about my WEAK female leads??? What about the girls who are clinically tired?? Who don't speak up for themselves?? Who get taken advantage of in society??? Who get pushed to the side??? Who are naive??? Who let opportunities and happiness slip through their fingers?? What about girls that listen to their aunts advice to not marry a gentleman?? What about girls who meet that gentleman years later and have to be polite even though they're dying inside??? Who have to pine weeks on end believing he hates them only to find out through a letter that he's been in half agony half hope??? What about them????

Hate being a taichi main because no matter how well I understand reni's story it only makes me become MORE bitter like what the FUCK do you mean you've told this sixteen year old that his life is essentially worthless and forever changed the trajectory of his life and his self worth and your reasoning is that "he didn't channel God in his performance"? Like. Damn. No shit he didn't.

I heart shitting on total trauma and I’ve seen not a lot of people mention how hard they butcher the girls (to be fair they butcher everyone)
(Btw the creator goes by pri/prin pronouns and we should respect that regardless of who prin is)
Like, making Sierra out to be a literal cheater and then forgiving it because “she’s aromantic” is REALLY GROSS as an aromantic greysexual person.
This one’s been talked to death but prin making Courtney into someone who dates barely legal 19 year olds while seeing that relationship as cute for the most part is weird and very telling of how they treat minors in real life
I don’t even want to go into their characterization of zoey.
Lindsay having dissociative amnesia, while interesting, is written extremely poorly and her abandoning her identity and then taking it back at the drop of a hat is super stupid. (This is coming from someone from a system and thus, experiences dissociative amnesia and identity issues)
We’re also not getting into the weird overly hot depiction of mikes abuser
While barely shown as of writing this take given prins track record Amy’s NPD is most likely going to be given very little of the care and respect it deserves
I really don’t fucking like this comic! Subzero level take but there are still some things I haven’t seen discussed which probably should be addressed considering the harm they can do

No because I think we forget too often that Taichi wasn't JUST sabotaging for Reni because he was desperate BUT ALSO Reni was literally threatening to tell other troupes that respect Godza to NOTT accept Taichi no matter what even if they would've potentially considered him IF Taichi didn't follow thru. So basically if he told Mankai that it was him all along and they didn't forgive him,,,,, then his reputation as an actor would've been FINISHED and he was terrified of not just losing his friends but HIS ENTIRE PURPOSE before his life has really even started. He wanted to tell them the truth so many times, but why would he expect them to keep him around after that??? Bro was crying because thought everything he worked for was over and he wasn't just losing his new friends but his purpose in life (acting) I'd be sobbing like a baby too

For all you Agrippa fans out there, I gotta give a shout-out to Lindsay Powell's book Marcus Agrippa: Right Hand Man of Caesar Augustus. Though the writing style is dry and at times adulatory, he's done a fantastic job bringing together a lot of disparate sources into one cohesive narrative, and backs all his statements up with citations. It's usually the first book I open when I need to look something up about Agrippa.
