I was going to watch that as well, but when I looked into the plot a bit, I got the same feelings. It’s something that would probably frustrate me too much and I doubt I’d be able to enjoy the show, but I hope you can get past it and enjoy it.

It’s one of those that, in and of itself, it’s perfectly fine and not about the Nice Guy trap.  Devoid of RL context, I don’t think I’d have any problem with it!  But it doesn’t go out of its way enough (for me, at least) to put its foot down on the Nice Guy trope that I can’t stop thinking about how waaaay too many people think that way and this anime, cute as it is, kind of reinforces it.  If it’s not something that would register too hard with (general) you, I’d say watch it! But if it’s something that’s liable to occur to you over and over, it’s probably better skipped for something else.

hannafia said: Yeah, I had that same problem when I started reading it. When I realized that they were indirectly getting in the way of me enjoying something I liked I stopped giving a shit about them. Don’t let pitiful people ruin your fun.

*wistful*  I wish I could just get past it!  But it’s one of those things that I’ve been really sensitive to lately, more than usual, and so I think the timing might just be really off for me.  ):

cattasticks said: Takeo and Suna are literally just NICE not for girls but for themselves so thats why they find love

Yes, the characters themselves, within the context of the show only, are fine with me.  The show does make some effort to show that Takeo isn’t super resentful when he doesn’t receive thanks, that he genuinely supports Yamada’s interest in Suna (so far as he thinks she’s interested in him), but it’s still yet another show that gives the message that dudes can be totally awesome people even if their looks aren’t awesome, that they can get a totally cute girlfriend!  And I never see the reverse of this trope and it gets super frustrating because, eventually, the bigger message becomes about how girls always need to look cute, but boys can run the range of looks, you know?

mayzygreen said: Have you not seen Kimi no Todoke? I think it is the closest I’ve seen to reversing the trope.

I have indeed seen and read Kimi no Todoke!  Well, I haven’t caught up in the last year or two, but I tore through all of the anime awhile back and read a lot of the manga.  ♥  It is SUPER CUTE AND I LOVE IT but, while Sawako is socially awkward, she’s very traditionally beautiful and so it doesn’t really reverse the trope for me.  ;__;

“I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.” Sakura yelled at Naruto with tears in her eyes. 

Naruto took a step back, unsure of how to respond. He was sure he had already given up on loving Sakura after his feeling being unrequited for so many years. It was unthinkable that she would return his feelings, let alone in such a way. After a moment he finally replied. “I’m in love with you too Sakura... I always have been.”

  Her eyes still full of tears Sakura ran into Naruto’s Arm and gave him a kiss on the lips

“Ahhh” Naruto screamed as he awoke from his nightmare.  

“What’s wrong honey?” Hinata asked Sleepily.

Naruto looked at his loving wife Hinata next to him in bed and heaved a sigh of relief. “It was just a nightmare. Nothing to worry about.” He said as he patted Hinata on the head.

Last movie I’ve seen in cinemas: Guardians of the Galaxy. It felt it could've been better by Marvel movie standard but I loved it anyway ;3

Dream Holiday: Aw, man, I dunno :o One about girl power, probably! Not like women in general even though that'd TOTALLY be rad and that'd probably be another good choice, but one about celebrating the budding girls in your life.

Dream wedding: Oh my, I don't really think about wedding much... I've never liked weddings or any formal event, so I try to push it out of my head. Something in springtime would be nice. With pretty pink trees~ ❤️

Dream job: If I could wave a magic wand and have any job I wanted, I'd want to be an idol. A totally embarrassing dream but a dream nonetheless (✿∕ ∕•̥̥̥̥∕ω∕•̥̥̥̥∕)

Now I tag:

Hey there! I hope you don't mind the public publish, it just occurred to me that other followers might want to know the same exact thing. You're right, it does mean content warning. It's very similar to using "tw" for posts that contain potentially triggering content. 

I've seen a few different posts talking about the most appropriate terms to use re: "trigger warning" vs "content warning." Generally, we want to tag everything possible so that everyone can enjoy our content without worrying about eye strain, bright flashes, and excessive motion as well as triggering content itself. However we didn't want to diminish the severity of the term "trigger" seeing as how triggers are very serious business. The most respectful compromise was to use "cw" to warn for everything in general. It's easy to add to tumblr savior/x-kit blacklist and we can make sure our posts are safe and enjoyable for everyone!
