♡ You forgave me, right? ...I see. Oh, that's... I'm glad. I didn't do anything, right?

welcome to milgramfessing 〜 a place where you can... well confess your thoughts about milgram ! I can't guarantee I'll agree with your confession, but I will most likely not let you know about my opinions; I am just the messenger after all ... There are no rules; just don't be weird towards me, or your peers ! ( psd by @/imbermagvns )

This is not to say that Mikoto can't lie or be selfish, I just think that fans tend to look at his writing from the worse possible angle while ignoring every other character when they lie in the viewer's face. I still forgive the other characters for lying because the message of this series is to extend grace to them despite their misdeeds. While it's not wrong to say system responsibility is a topic relevant to Mikoto, it is not the main theme because that implies a punitive outlook, contradicting with the anti-punitive message of the series as a whole. 

I'm really not sure how the next video drama will be handled. Will it handhold the viewers like Amane's and Kazui's, or will it be overly harsh towards Mikoto, but with that harshness being implied as wrong when we get his full crime report? Or will his crime report omit information that will only be revealed after the trials are done? I hope the last one isn't it but it has been implied that the videos are not objective ever since Jackalope said that he told us to vote Shidou guilty in the first trial. 

(sorry if I sent this multiple times)

Haruka is a fine character something about him just gives off bad vibes so I don't think much about him honestly, honestly I like Yuno as a character she just should NOT be in Milgram and that kind of ruins her for me, I care about Fuuta only in relation to Amane he is not very interesting to me (also none of his songs are great. Bring it on is fine I don't remember how backdraft sounds and I stopped liking appare march after like my fifth listen), Shidou as a character just makes me uncomfortable (I like his relationship with Amane just like. Ignoring the doctor thing. I don't like thinking about medical malpractice it makes me Very uncomfortable), I used to REALLY like Mahiru but not anymore (I probably would start caring about her again if I watched her T3 PV but ughhh I don't feel like it. There's too much discourse related to her anyways), Kazui should appeal to me he just doesn't for some reason, Mikoto is boring (Double is a banger though), and Kotoko. I have complicated feelings on Kotoko. This ask is already too long to explain them.

For the characters I do like: Muu is generally interesting because she is complicated in a way that makes me able to see her as both unforgiven and forgiven (she murdered a girl who didn't even do anything. She also clearly has a ton of unresolved mental issues and she lost her support system and she likely was never taught how to deal with bad emotions so that most likely led to her extreme action.), Amane is also complicated but very distinctly innocent and cults are just generally REALLY interesting to me, and Es is both interesting as a character (I like it when the self insert stops being a self insert) and my many theories about them are so fun to think about (obviously my main one is that they used to be in Amane's former cult I've mentioned it a lot, frankly it stopped being a crack theory a while ago their parallels with Amane go crazy and the way they're treated in Milgram reminds me of how cults treat their members. I also like to think about the various things that could've happened in their life. Both what could've happened if they were in the cult and what could've happened if they weren't)!

This might be my longest ask yet. I like talking about my opinions Okay? It's fun to try to explain how I feel when I can. Especially when it comes to something like Milgram which I have complicated feelings about. I could make a longer ask just about any of these characters except Shidou and Mikoto (my feelings on them are not very complicated. Shidou makes me uncomfortable because medical malpractice makes me uncomfortable and Mikoto, as I said, is boring. And also I'm a singlet I shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on Mikoto his entire character is his DID) if anyone is interested in hearing my opinions on a specific character more in depth. Or just hearing my opinion on Kotoko at all.

And yeah it's true that some 09 fans are shallow and kinda dumb, comes with having a large/casual fanbase. But even without that, it's inevitable since 09's writing is the most vague - there's 4+ different theories for their crime that make equal sense with the amount of information we have now.

I’m not going to say she did nothing wrong because she did. She kills two people directly and one by association. But I truly believe that forgiveness is the only possible option to result in something good. Giving her a guilty verdict now is either going to kill her or make her probably go back to her old cult. And her murders were definitely understandable from a viewpoint of “this is a twelve year old who has been in a cult her entire life of course she’s not going to have a great mindset”

Also her dynamic with Es in the voice drama is so fucking good THEY ARE THE CUTEST SIBLINGS EVER! Unfortunately no new content to push my crack theory that Es was in Amane’s old cult because of how fire their magic cover is but whatever. I can still believe! And the way she talks about Fuuta,,, THEY ARE THE SECOND CUTEST SIBLINGS EVER! Unfortunately since they come from such different times they probably won’t get to properly meet up for a while but it’s cool,,,, I guess,,, it was inevitable,,, T_T

I was kind of hoping for a Es & Amane hug in the VD but the cute-ish content we did get is still good,, a hug would’ve been very cute though! I will simply have to imagine them hugging instead.

Anyways it’s cool and awesome how Amane’s character managed to NOT be ruined in T3! Yamanaka is apparently good at writing gay men and cultist children. Bit of an unusual pair of character types to be good at writing but I respect it.
