Junji Ito: I think my intention with writing Tomie was clear, the point is obviously that-
Fanfiction Writers: Tomie is a lonely trans lesbian longing to be loved by a woman!
Junji Ito: What no the point is that being an arrogant asshole hurts you and everyone around you.
Fanfiction Writers: You wrote that Tomie is abused by literally every man in her life.
Junji Ito: ...
Fanfiction Writers: She seeks approval and love from them but only receives jealous violence.
Junji Ito: ...
Fanfiction Writers: The only person throughout the entire story who ever cares about her is her female friend from high school
Junji Ito: ...
Fanfiction Writers: Who is literally given her heart to bury.
Junji Ito: ...
Fanfiction Writers: Shit most people couldn't write something that gay if they tried and you did it accidentally.
Junji Ito: But what about the trans part?
Fanfiction Writers: Oh come on! She's deeply insecure about the way she looks, specifically about hair appearing on her body. She spends the entire manga desperately fighting against the accusation that she's a monster by floating from man to man hoping that they will affirm her gender. Hell, the conclusion of the story is that a man feels led on by her so he spends literally his entire life trying to ruin hers.
Junji Ito: logging out of 50 yuri blogs at once I've um got to go!
Author's Note: This post is meant to be taken 100% seriously. This is in no way a subjective shitpost about my personal opinion. I am currently at Junji Ito's house holding a gun to his head and making him draw Kaori kiss.
