im not looking forward to this

( spoilers under cut)

i saw someone ask if Maki was worse than Naoya after the massacre. do we understand what a motivation is. traumatized, abused teenager destroys a misogynistic system after it murders her twin sister and many before her. sadistic, privileged adult man believes women aren’t people and sexually abused his child cousins to exercise his control over them for fun. you can’t truly call Maki a good person anymore, but you can clearly see she is fighting to break abusive patterns in jujutsu society and save lives. Naoya is a rapist. A Rapist. whose character is introduced by his flippancy about Naobito dying and decision to murder three children to secure his position. Gege wasn’t pulling some switcharoo, those are Naoya’s actions meant to define his character quickly.

and don’t get me STARTED on “Naoya raping Mai is an interpretation of his words that I don’t believe in, don’t treat it as fact! Maki definitely killed completely innocent children, Gege basically confirmed it!!”. get into the trash cube compactor. now. we understand how faulting the clan woman for doing a morally grey things to change a terrible cycle in the chapters about clan women having zero power or rights inside the manga where bad things will and must happen is bad, right? explicitly? like Gege speaking into a megaphone level explicit?

ah
