Maybe sometime something cool will happen here, who may know.

Junko thinks the glass is half empty.

Komaeda thinks the glass is half empty but the bright symbols of hope can definitely make it half full even if he makes holes in it as they try to pour water.

Mikan thinks the glass is full of nasty flu bacteria and now she will trip and spill it out and everyone would fell ill and be mad and hate her oh no she actually tripped.

Hajime thinks the glass is half empty but he definitely totally deserves a half full one and this is injustice so he needs to undergo a dangerous shady brain surgery to fill his glass.

Izuru does not think about the glass.

Ryoma thinks the glass is empty and broken.

The more wicked the person was, the more good luck it was believed to bring.

That reminded me of…

You are, however, homophobic for holding mlw ships and mlm or wlw ships to vastly different standarts.

You know like, when people just casually refer to a game’s female lead or main support character as “protagonist’s girlfriend” - and nobody cares because everyone knows it is just light-hearted joke born from their canonical ship teases - but then get viscerally angry when people do the same for Ishimondo, Sakuraoi or Tokomaru. 

When nobody has any claims when people call a relationships between a boy and a girl who hang out a lot and seem to be really close “canon ship” despite lack of evidence of it being explicitly romantic or sexual - but then instantly jump at their Holy Book Of Canon and bash people’s heads with it whenever someone dares to try the same with mlm or wlw couple that fits the same criteria.

When people have an endless benefit of doubt for heterosexual relatipnships that are built on love but have potential to be really, really problematic under wrong circumstances - and literally zero of it for wlw and mlm ships.

When anybody interested in mlm dynamic gets called fujo dismissively when male fans literally fawning over their underaged waifus and self-insert ships are widely tolerated.

When mlm or wlw ship tease gets dismissed as mindless pandering while mlw ship tease is always totally valid and actually is a sign creator ships them too and wants you to do so.

Etc, etc.

I know those thing are often not done with any ill intent - or even not done consciously. But the fact that all of those things are not just mumbling of some obviously bigoted, malicious people, but rather a large trend prevailing in fandom spaces in general is even more concerning.

Akane and Komaeda as co antagonists.

Both being undisturbed by whataver messed up stuff happens around because they had enough of it so finally that part of Akane’s character gets properly adressed.

Komaeda chllaenging Hajime as calculated step to make Hajime succeed in the long term because his reasonings are usually right, Akane challeging Hajime from pure gut feeling, also making him succeed in the long term as her illogical survival instict is also often right.

Komaeda being physically weak and physically passive, his main danger being playing mind games, Akane being someone who actually can and will kill you but easy to manipulate and use it to take advantage.

Komaeda having deathwish and Akane having probably the strongest will to survive of them all.

Komaeda thinking he is too worthless to have good things, Akane being hedonistic, have her obsession with food from growing poor and her sexuality issues finally not play for cheap laugh.

Komaeda having to create a big complex cope system to stop caring about stuff, Akane being so worn out by her childhood she genuinely does not get what is wrong.

Both being afraid to get close to people because those people would likely die, Akane seeing attachment as a weakness, Komaeda being sure he is cursed with a literal cosmic power.

Akane’s bond with Nekomaru being played as a form of bond that actually makes her stronger, not weaker. Akane learning to value life again thanks to Nekomaru in Chapter 3 and 4.

Akane’s redemption arc that starting around same time as Komaeda’s breakdown and descent into madness. Akane actually attacking Komaeda when he insults and taunts her over Nekomaru’s body. Akane listening to nobody telling her to stop and having Monokuma physically restrain her. Akane’s willingness to listen in the next Chapter like in canon being played as a sign of her grwoing bond with anyone and her willingness to accept that physical answer is not always the only answer.

No, I do not approve it.

Yes this is exactly the point.

I think thing that turned me off from talking on DR reddit is not even "bad" takes or whatever - peopel can like or dislike characters as much as they want - but just how allergic they are to discussions?

You reply them in completely civil neutral tone and they get ridicuosly offended and think you're some crazy person who can't accept opinions becaue… your reply was long? And they're weirdly obsessed with having the last words in the discussion with internet stranger so they see it as an insult to their opinion? Don't know man I have no idea why can you see that someone has a lot of thoughts about your opinion and somehow take it as a bad thing.

Not because his parents died and his dog got hit by a truck and he got diagnosed with terminal illness and felt lonely and unloved or whatever - don’t get me wrong, it is sad in its own right but the amount of over the top tragic backstories in Danganronpa and in other stories kind of left me numb to most of them.

Literally any relationships has potential to turn unhealthy. If you think it is unhealthy in specific context of Danganronpa 2′s killing game, especially Chapter 4 and 5, it is absolutely valid. In fact, even most hardcore shippers would agree with you here.

However, if you think it is unhealthy by nature in literally all situations and just want to randomly ignore Komaeda's characterizations that contradicts and brush it off as not canon it because you do not like it and think he should be a creepy stalker because he “gives you vibes” or whatever, you are probably ableist.

Because if a mentally ill person with poor understanding of human interactions “has to” be a creepy stalker yandere incapable of human love or whatever and you ignore literal chunk of canon characterization that not only not confirms it, but actively contrdicts it as “fanservice” or “not as important” as whatever else things he did, it is ableism.
