homophobic, misogynist, misandrist, unfunny pile of abusive garbage that tries to pass off rape threats and burning people to death as comedy

Thank you, I thought I was almost alone with that opinion.

yeah, same. everyone keeps trying to excuse it's bullshit as 'it's just a joke'

i fucking hate that copout excuse. i fucking almost lost it when the dude threatened her and she ran off crying and praying after. how the fuck is any of that funny at all? grow the hell up

DA

The people excusing it and attacking people who don't like it are by far the worst and add an extra layer of terrible to this show.
The shitstorm on okazu over that one unfavorable review was pretty horrible.

When in a single panel she pleaded with her dead mother, "why is everyone picking on me?" I lost it and started to cry. If you found that line funny, I hate you. It's as simple as that.

From a review of this manga, posted on the blog of the reviewer. Obviously, the review got quickly dogpiled by angry fans attacking the reviewer as oversensitive. It got comments by angry Maria Holic fans over a year after it was posted.

Here's a gem one of them posted:
"I do hope Maria and Kanako will be together in the end though. People of polar opposites came to an understanding of each other is wonderful."

Yeah. And this is why I hate this manga and its fandom.

I love the anime but at least I acknowledge it's an offensive piece of shit and understand why other people wouldn't find it funny.

That's...a perfectly sane way to handle it, anon, so kudos to you.

I play from pretty offensive canons too, and acknowledging it really doesn't hurt me. It helps avoiding trouble OOCly, too.

oh well this thread makes me glad I've never heard of it now. kind of impressed that it manages to be misogynist and misandrist at the same time, though, that takes skill.

not sure if that's hateful enough for this meme, so you can use this as a springboard for telling me why I should hate it more if you want.

it's the story of a lesbian in an all girl's school and a boy who crossdresses to get in and starts harassing the shit out of her, threatening to rape her and set her on fire amongst other things. after which the lesbian flees and starts crying and praying to her dead mom or something about what did she do to deserve this. the lesbian thinks the crossdresser is a girl and has a crush on "her" after a while i believe.

the crossdresser, mariya, is made to be the hero. the one we're supposed to sympathize with. his torture and harassment are played for laughs. the creator says it's a parody of yuri in general but haha no.

there's a side character that is a lesbian only because men give her hives and she gets really misandrist and nosebleeds a lot. the lesbians are called perverts based solely on their same sex attraction.

people worship it because SHAFT animated it. the fans get butthurt if you tell them why it's offensive and will tell you to get a sense of humor and that's all just fun and games.

i honestly consider the whole spiel with mariya borderline transphobic as well but ymmv.

it's not a parody. it's not cute. it's not funny. it's pure, hateful garbage in every way and i hope every copy of it bursts into flames randomly.

+1

Just... +1

I cannot add anything else.

It's a parody as in randomly vomitting on something is parodying it. Ie not.

welcome to anime

I know far more LA shows that are as homophobic and sexist against both genders as this one than I know animes, though.

So correction: Welcome to any medium ever.

yeah i know i shouldnt expect jack shit progressiveness out of japan or america but this one struck a particularly nasty cord with me

i'd rather marathon the worst hentai than see this ever again. those bother me infinitely less than just pure, unfiltered rape threats being passed off as kawaii comedy desu. it seems to attract a particularly nasty set of watchers.

i'm not exactly sure what aspect of it hits me so bad or if it's the sum of its many terrible parts, i just think it deserves extra loathing more so than most series out there. i wish i could say why i hate it so much.
