"Deconstruction" does not (necessarily) mean "Adding a bunch of sex and violence and drug use and suicide to a work to make it grimdark"; it means, essentially, "foregrounding the implicit contradictions in a work by making them explicit in the text to showcase and critique their ideology in the wider culture."

So, for example "Watchmen" was deconstructive because superhero comics up to that point had, by and large, not really interrogated their own role with respect to things like the military-industrial complex or the rather sordid real-life history of vigilantism in the United States or the sexual psychology of an individual dressing up in (essentially) bondage gear and going out to beat people up on the street. The sex and the violence serve a thematic purpose. It doesn't become more deconstructive by adding *more* sex and violence to it; it depends on what was in (or left out of) the original work.

THE FIRST EVER YO-KAI WATCH: WEEK OF CREATIVITY IS TAKING PLACE FROM AUGUST 23RD TO 29TH 2026!

Now, what does this mean for you all, who so kindly gave me prompt ideas and a timeslot via the interest check? Well, you've got a month to prepare and to boost the event... so any support will be super appreciated! I'm a sole admin (and an unfortunately busy one at that), so I'll appreciate any aid!

-And I agree, Ryou Bakura is like the holotype specimen of Blorbos. He's got all the features: 1. Absolutely impenetrable lore to anyone not familiar with the series:

Only sort of a main character

If you are unfamiliar with Yugioh and try to look up his name the lore is only going to make you more confused. For starters, there's three Bakuras and at least one of them is a lovecraftian demonic entity who attends high school. Good luck.

2. Tagged in shit that makes absolutely no sense:

If you only know about him through a mutual-in-law, the extreme variety of shit that gets tagged with him (Fancy Desserts, Demonic Possession, Memes about the British Upper Class) is extremely confusing

3. Very Shaped:

somehow both round and pointy

Has the same vibes as a plush toy that gets lovingly set on the bed or rent to shreds by a rottweiler

Blorbos often have one VERY obvious trope in thier visual design and Bakura expresses the very popular White-Haired Anime Boy phenotype.
