I'm almost afraid to ask but I know you'll know ... wtf happened re: armin?
lol, it's okay, i don't mind explaining. monthly, isayama (the manga's writer/illustrator) will answer an interview question about the characters/setting/plot/etc.; this month, the question was "which girl is closest to mikasa?" because isayama's a douche, he answered "armin". do you get it it's so funny ha ha because armin has long hair and mikasa has no friends ha ha what a funny joke i'm laughing so hard. dead-eyed stare.
of course, tumblr being tumblr and incapable of recognizing jokes or sarcasm and refusing to acknowledge context, people invaded the armin tag and armin-centric blog askboxes hooting and hollering that "ARMIN IS A GIRL" and "TRANS ARMIN IS CANON OMG SO PROGRESSIVE". because taking a repulsive, sexist joke as canon is so progressive...? and so is gender essentialism! wow, today i've learned so much. mainly that i hate this site a lot.
