Was recently reading a meta about bkdk antis (link here) and I have learned something from them. I was unaware of this before but Kohei Horikoshi is in fact a Middle Aged, Cisgender, Straight, Japanese Man. It is as sincerely as possible I must inform you fellow bkdks, but we are incapable of getting empathy from, or even being visible to him. Despite our best efforts of always wearing high-vis pride flags, we are in fact unable to be seen on the light spectrum his eyes can absorb. We simply do not co-exist in his universe. Naturally, due to now being enlightened in this way I look back on my reprehensible actions of appreciating a story and intepreting it in my own way with copious amounts of shame, and will be following the advice of the sane logical people and kms.
