#anti bsd

[kyouka-supremacy]

Hello there 👋

Can you talk about why you feel the way you do about the female bsd characters? (including the female characters you like) and while I don't think the author doesn't know how to write female characters I think the biggest problem with the female characters is that they're underutilized and barely have much screentime ( the most one we saw recently having screentime currently in the manga is teruko)

Hi!! I love you all SO much but seriously I don't have the mental stability to talk about why the bsd female characters are badly written ahah. Here's my best attempt at it:

I hope it's enough for me to say there's a female / male characters proportion of like 1:10, and no female character has any real repercussion on the plot– literally. Besides from Kyouka and Lucy and maybe Yosano? you could hypothetically erease every other female character and... Realistically, nothing would change. That's just how much irrelevant all but three female characters are, and there's already very few compared to the rest of the male cast. The four main / most popular characters are all males. Dazai is openly sexist and it's just kind of there never to be addressed. Akutagawa is repetedly violent with his female coworker and it's treated as a gag (like you DO realize how repulsive it is to write a character who is obsessed with her abuser and never be intentioned to elaborate on that because I guess that's what women are supposed to do according to author? Like. okay). But honestly the main issue for me is how each of them literally gravitates around another male character. God, it's SO annoying. And I mean every single of them!!! Every. single. Every single!!!! I struggle to come up with even one exception to the pattern. Kyouka has Atsushi as her savior, Lucy has Atsushi as her savior, Higuchi is obsessed with Akutagawa, Naomi is obsessed with Jun'ichirou, Gin literally exists because of Akutagawa, Alcott is just there to aid Fitzgerald, Margaret's only role in the story is to save Hawthorne, Elise is just expression of Mori. Teruko is a person in the body of a child who literally drools over her 50-something superior, like we hadn't as a society come to the common agreement that the “not as old as she looks” trope was disgusting pedophilia apologism like ten years ago (but it's okay though, because pedophilia was established to be okay in this manga at like, chapter 15 or something) (is this the good time to bring up that time Aya asked Kunikida out? No? Okay let's just collectively pretend that never happened). Do I need to go on? I haven't read Gaiden, but do I really need to read it to know Tsujimura gravitates around Ayatsuji? Oh wait, I was just remembered about Gaiden's full title: Bungou Stray Dogs Gaiden: Ayatsuji Yukito VS. Kyougoku Natsuhiko, and if that doesn't speak of the consideration author gives their female characters, I don't know what does. It's just– no female character is ever going to have their own novel. No female character is ever going to be protagonist. They'll just keep being treated as they've always been so far, like flat and personality-less disposable plot devices.

Now. I love Yosano's backstory, I really do- I think it was the best executed arc of the manga, reading those two chapter still gives me chills. But you do have to acknowledge, Yosano herself has no agency in the entire arc development. It's okay, she was eleven, it's natural; but she is just tossed one way to the other by other characters. That, and I can't stretch it enough, is not a bad thing on its own; not all stories have to scream #womanpower to be good stories. It's a good story. But you need to acknowledge it does nothing to empower female characters' role in this manga; it just speaks once again of it being a systematic problem, how author can't write female characters like they were masters of their fate if their life depended on it. And it's not that just because there's one (1) mini arc that happens to have a female character as its protagonist, author knows how to write female characters with depth, or agenda, or an objective, or personality, because... They clearly don't.

Like. I probably became annoying by now but like. When was the last time you found any bsd fan whose favorite character was a woman? When was the last time you found people describing themselves as a Lucy kinnie? If you ask me, it's not a matter of fans' fault for overlooking female characters; the female characters in this franchise are meant to be overlooked, because they're abysmally less stretched out and complex compared to their male counterparts– because male characters are distinctive and unique, while author can't go outside the range of one-dimensional femme fatale, letal woman (Yosano, Kouyou, Teruko, Christie, Gin / Lucy / Elise too to an extent) and woman who's just there to obsess over a male character (Alcott, Higuchi). But do not fret, because author will sometimes go outside that scheme by making a letal femme fatale who also obsesses over a male character! (Naomi). Also this

(Have you ever wondered why I never talk about Beast Gin? Yeah.)

Okay but you see the problem here? You see how it's impossible to make the same kind of argument for the male characters, because they're all diverse and various and multilayered as much as their little screentime allows? Higuchi doesn't exist outside Akutagawa, Lucy doesn't exist outside Atsushi; but it's not like you can say the same goes the other way round. That is, crossing out the various parallels drawn between male characters, but that only speaks more of how precisely curated male characters are, while all female characters... I'll be honest, aren't written as people. Author really sounds like your average Washington Post best selling psychological thriller author of the week that writes women like an alien species from another planet. It would have spared me having been writing this whole post for an hour (two hours? Which is definitely not the time I wanted to spend on this, man) if only author would have formed the thought, at the start of the serialization: “perhaps! Perhaps I should write women as people instead of writing them as female characters (whatever that means)”. Alas, we ended up with the infamous Naomi description from Untold Origins (what the fuck. who in their right mind would ever think of writing something like that. what the fuck.)

Now, I know if you're here reading this you most definitely like bsd. It's okay, really. Unpopular opinion, but people are perfectly allowed to like things that are flawed (and this is a big flaw). What's extremely important, seriously, I'm on my knees begging you, is to be critical of the media you consume. All kinds of media. Even if you end up disagreeing with me on this matter, really!! Just be able to tell apart the things that make appealing a series for you from whatever kind of agenda / worldview the author is pushing through, and peacefully acknowledge you can like something despite it having issues (because bsd has issues). I don't know who needs to hear this, but someone definitely does: “I love s/kk!!” “the bsd storytelling has many compelling aspects!!” and “I recognize the bsd writing has flaws some of which actively harm an already disadvantaged part of society” are statements that can and should coexist, and if anything - and I know you hate to hear this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry - it should be kept in mind when deciding to support the franchise by buying its products.

One final note is that like... I'm sorry if this comes off as pretentious but I seriously feel like people have NO idea what media with well written female characters look like, because for people to even question bsd being sexist is just insane to me (in the way: do we really need to to talk about it, isn't it obvious like ten seconds in the show??). And this is probably the least good place to advertise things, but please do yourself a favor and read The Promised Neverland and learn what well written female characters read like.

I think we should appreciate more the fact that Asagiri made canon that drugging Chuuya takes away the use of his ability. Fifteen already did it a bit with the rat poison, but Storm Bringer really reinforced it with Chuuya struggling (and then failing) to deflect the bullets when the poison kicked in in the lab, Chuuya not being able to free himself from his torture, and literally:

The use of his ability is directly linked to his physical health/capacity to focus, and I for one would like to thank Asagiri for putting this juicy bit of material in canon.

#honestly this could probably be applied to most control-based abilities #you don't even need fancy anti-ability whatever to keep him under control literally just drug him #that's why his ''weakness'' is poison (N liteerally says chuuya is ''just as vulnerable to poison as anyone else'') #(even if physically he's excessively resistant) #side note what the heck does ''pressurized gravity'' even MEAN #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd nakahara chuuya #bsd chuuya #apparently i talk sometimes

If the PM had somehow been the primary target of all of these plots instead of the ADA I firmly believe half of the situations could have been solved with Kajii. I understand he isn't popular but listen there is a reason he is who they pull out first with a hat trick when shit gets real.

#like PM roundtable meeting have we tried bombing Fukuchi? no? Lets send Kajii #prison arc. easy peasy Kajii. you can just put him in prison for other reasons if he didnt get jailed in place of Dazai then you only have #to sneak the lemon bombs in #this is assuming the ADA gets vamped in this reverse situation instead of the PM #but you know who wouldnt hesitate to bomb the crap out some vamps to death? Kajii. look it isnt what you want but you cant deny it would be #effective #he is isnt even one of my faves but I have to admit as long as he isnt giving his philosophical rants and getting distracted by his own ego #dude is effective af yeah? #bsd kajii #bsd #also dont ask me how he literally would solve the prison arc because i legit was just thinking you know who could have already killed #fyodor if Fyodor can be killed? Kajii. also his bombs arent the ability so all those anti ability walls can still be blown up by his #bombs then. checkmate. #thank you for coming to my crack ada pm swap au ted talk

Osamu Dazai- in the Fyo!Atsushi A.U.

I feel like this change in his life, he'd like to change a lot of things about himself...

Like going by "Osamu" instead of "Dazai" to new people he meets-

Or deciding to give up slowly but surely on the whole cheery attitude he uses to mask himself as being witty and comical in order to deflect his inner issues.

I want to write him as a complex introspective character, a development in his life where I want to see what he can do to actually be better. It's tough, given who he is and what he continuously does- but I think I can pull him through.

Dazai not smiling as much anymore...:

He feels like he needs to bottle up his guilt. To not burden other people with it, other people that he's hurt before. He believes if he's hurt people he needs to get away, he needs not to connect to them anymore- his guilt never allows him to deal with his problems because he simply believes himself incapable of NOT creating more.

He thinks that by putting on his "clown" mask and being unfamiliar and secretive about personal matters he's protecting those around him from his poison- he's feeding himself this idea of selflessness. By isolating and barricading his true self he does "what's best". But the poison seeps out in other ways, infecting everything. And it's worse when it comes from his friendly smiling face- other than the real, alienated Dazai he really is.

He fools himself that maybe if he pretends for long enough that he's a better person he'll feel that way eventually. Doesn't work like that now does it?

-Nix🌙

Okay, okay, I've seen way too many tiktok about how every Soukoku shipper also ships SatoSugu and I just have to say it.

No, lmao.

You have to be reading the BSD manga and novels with your eyes closed to even compare the level of relationship between Dazai and Chuuya to Satoru and Suguru.

They aren't on the same level and SatoSugu is even lower than Shin Soukoku.

I'm very sorry that SatoSugu black and white stuff can't even compare to Akutagawa and Atsushi's black and white (Atsuhi literally has white hair with black strip and Akutagawa has black hair with white strips).

Sorry but Geto isn't Chuuya and Satoru isn't Dazai. Suguru didn't have the same impact that Chuuya's existence had on Dazai (or anything close).

"My one and only" isn't the same as Chuuya making Dazai's suic!dal ass give life a chance. And this was way before Dazai and Oda even met.

"I believed a man like you wouldn't kill bunch of my students" (when in JJK 0 Geto mutilated Maki, Panda and Toge, lucky them that Yuta knew Reverse Cursed Technique) isn't the same as everybody and their mother telling Chuuya about Dazai being dead but him still using Corruption that could very well kill Chuuya himself and everything around him if Dazai trully was dead). He believed Dazai was alive WITHOUT DAZAI EVEN CONSULTING HIM, They need no words to know (and trust) each other.

SatoSugu isn't the same as Soukoku when Dazai spent every second and every minute of last 7 years thinking and dreaming of how to kill Chuuya (as he tells Sigma).

Atsushi's "just the two of us" and Akutagawa's "is there a need for more" is more impacful than SatoSugu's tragedy. Sorry, not sorry, but in canon some people don't even care about Geto.

He is just some guy who just was... there...

And I like a lot of genoc!dal mass murderer bastards: Sukuna, Toji, Obito, Madara. Hell I like Naoya's misogynist ass more than Geto.

Speaking of Obito, my respect is always there with Kakashi who just found out that the idol he practically worshipped was in fact very much alive and had started the Shinobi World War 4 and he still didn't hesistate and went for a kill!!

What have Satoru been doing all these 10 or whatever years while Geto still had "excution" on his head? Who knows how many civillians he killed in those years.

Yeah, I know, I was ranting but even filtering satosugu stuff on tiktok don't stop the videos from popping up 😒

can I be mad abt Odazai shippers rn.

They always use these images

Saying Dazai was Oda’s only friend (which makes me hurt inside btw)

and like. The angst potential of this. Why isn’t he mentioning Ango. Does he hate him. They were clearly friends.

but noooo Odazai shippers love to say ‘Oda and Dazai were friends! Oda wasn’t friends with Ango!’ And I just. Die inside. Are we ignoring the looks they gave each other.

(only friend BECAUSE ANGO ISNT YOUR FRIEND HES SMTH MORE- *gets killed*)

I wish everyone a great day/night except that one dazai fan blog that keeps harassing other people as if God planted them on this earth to defend Dazai 🙏

What's funnier is they're attacking Dazai fans (who ship skk).

At least be a decent hater and go after ppl who hate your fave ffs.

Anyways, live laugh lay Dazai into the ground 🥰

Okay negative rant about 55 minutes and Dazai and overall bsd writing pls pls pls don't read this if you like any of those things please I'm literally begging you

Look, I know I'm not the biggest bsd fan- I'm quite literally here just for a ship, which is kinda sad, but also true - so I shouldn't come in reading any other installment of the series with high expectations. Still, I was so let down by 55 Minutes? Besides featuring the standard sexism and nationalism one sadly gets used to reading bsd, there's just- the big D problem. When Atsushi got shot back in time, I was so hyped by the premise of Atsushi being given exclusive knowledge that came with the chance of finally acting on his own, getting to make his own decisions, saving the day with no external help and just stopping being a puppet in someone else's hands- and then it was all gone, just like that? He revealed everything to Dazai and Kunikida? Breaking the most basic time travelling rule to do so on top of that???? Something Wells-my-beloved had carefully warned him against? Simply because Dazai could immediately read into his mind for no other reason than being unnecessarily overpowered? It was... So disappointing. I'm definitely tired of Dazai always saving the day, being unnecessarily omniscient and just straight up being depicted like a god. It's so lazy narrative wise? Dazai is potentially an okay character but like,,,,, you gotta give your characters flaws man. You cannot have a character who never failed, which has everything always going according to his plan. Or you can, but it's so annoying to read! It makes him all the more unsymphatetic, and Dazai alone isn't very easy to be sympathetic towards to begin with ://

Quit it with all the characters admiring him like he was the savior of the world!!!! Quit it with all the characters treating him like he was the man with all the answers!!!!!!! Quit it with all the characters considering him a god!!!!!!!!! It's just so infuriating because I've been in fandoms - mainly The Promised Neverland - where actually well written protagonists were constantly thrown under the buss by the fandom for being “perfect” and “flawless” and “Mary Sues” (they weren't) thus “unrealistic” “boring” “annoying” and worse. And you know where the difference lies? Those characters were all female. It's so frustrating and infuriating having had to witness that baseless, senseless criticism, and then seeing everyone turn a blind side to Dazai just because he's hot and most importantly male?? It's upsetting, it's disgusting.

And finally please give Atsushi his own agenda- he's supposed to be the protagonist (he hardly makes one), if not him, who else deserves it? Atsushi really, really needs to stop being a puppet in Dazai's hands. He needs to start thinking with his own head!! Quit it with all the “I'm going to do this because I trust Dazai / Ranpo's plan”- what do you want to do, kid?

#Man today I'm like. I hope I get over sskk soon because this series is truly getting on my nerves #I usually pretty much ignore Dazai's existence but reading 55 Minutes made it hard- #And sorry for the rant I usually try to keep myself from criticizing stuff because it's mostly pointless negativity but also //// #being this involved in the fandom I really needed to get this off my chest #I got to the scene where Atsushi reveals everything and I had the physical urge to stop and go write this- #man I don't want to keep reading :((( #anti dazai #anti bsd #I feel awful for using those tags but I have to for blacklisting reasons 😭😭😭 #I hate spreading negativity #bsd negativity #;;;; #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd 55 minutes #mine #q. #Edit: Mmmmmhhh to be fair there's something I didn't word well. It's not like Dazai doesn't have flaws. He very clearly does. #The thing is how the narrative depicts him like he didn't. It's a subtle difference but it's about the tone of the narration you know? #I guess in 55 Minutes it was magnified by Atsushi's pov but it's not limited to 55 Minutes. #He's always depicted like being the best strongest smartest guy ever which is just... Boring. Annoying.

34- To kill two mockingbirds with one stone (and other complaints)

Welcome back to the Anti-Dazai Series!! 

I’s been around 5 months since the last time I’ve posted. I’m back now. I’ll be here until school starts again (this is a joke actually because school starts on Thursday. I’m here for the next two days until I’ll disappear again.) 

Thank you all for sticking around regardless of my inconsistent posting schedule and tendency to disappear for months once school gets busy. I really truly appreciate it. And to people who appear in my notes often—I recognize your urls and love you all individually. Thank you so much for enjoying this series, I hope to continue creating content you enjoy. 

Now onto what you’re all here for: grievances with Dazai.

————————————————————————————

Atsushi and Akutagawa are now face to face on the Moby Dick. This was orchestrated by Dazai, as a part of his artificial rivalry-making project.

The moment Atushi sees Akutagawa, he begins having his standard trauma flashbacks of all the times Akutagawa attacked him—notably, the times previously mentioned in the anti-dazai series, where Dazai provoked Akutagawa into Attacking Atsushi. During those entries, I’ve noted that all of these attacks would not have happened had Dazai not created a personal reason for rivalry between Akutagawa and Atsushi by repeatedly mocking Akutagawa through saying Atsushi’s better than him in every way.

So we already know that Dazai was responsible for Akutagawa’s attacks on Atsushi, as well as those attacks being something that didn’t happen by accident through a butterfly affect Dazai couldn’t have predicted—on the contrary, causing Akutagawa to attack was the sole goal of his provocations. What we now know, however,  is that these attacks did more damage than physical. 

Atsushi’s mental state as always been.. bad. Not good. Right from the start, we see him constantly reliving his trauma from his days at the orphanage whenever anything triggers it. While it’s unclear if the other characters are aware of how severe his trauma is or how frequently he relives it, I find it hard to believe that a character like Dazai, who’s constantly shown to be practically omniscient, would be entirely unaware of Atsushi’s poor mental state. Yet he gives him more trauma to add to his never-ending pile. 

As per usual, Atsushi and Akutagawa spar until Dazai puts a stop to it. Ironic, considering he also put a start to it, but I digress. Dazai, who has been guiding Atsushi from afar through a comm device, tells Atsushi that the way to get Akutagawa off his back is to tell him that Dazai wants to tell him something, throw the comm, and run. 

Atsushi does this—and as Dazai predicted, Akutagawa chases the comm, giving Atsushi an opening to run. 

Akutagawa devotes his entire life to Dazai. Dazai doesn’t spare him five seconds unless he’s using that time to antagonize him under the guise of training. But Akutagawa would prefer this antagonization over being ignored. 

Dazai knows this, and knows that his current goal is buying Atsushi more time to complete his mission. Or so he claims. Because if he were actually acting on that goal, he would have stayed on the comm and had a long, drawn-out conversation with Akutagawa. Or he didn’t even have to do that much—he could just stay on long enough to say “don’t attack Atsushi, I’ll never speak to you again if you attack him today.” 

But as we know, Dazai’s goal is not to help Atsushi or ensure his safety and wellbeing. He instead is working towards establishing an artificial rivalry that serves no purpose other than being an entertaining side project for him to work on. [I’ve elaborated more on this in other posts, but in short—the “second generation of double black” truly serves no purpose and other ability users can do what they do much better than them.] 

So instead of speaking a word to Akutagawa, he decides to kill two birds with one stone by hanging up—antagonizing Akutagawa while furthering his and Atsushi’s rivalry.

Because of this, I titled this entry “to kill two mockingbirds with one stone”—merging the common expression with the name of a famous book. Originally, I was planning on titling this one “kill two birds with one stone,” but that expression has a neutral to positive connotation. It’s usually convenient to get two things done at once. “to kill two mockingbirds” sets the tone much better.

For those unfamiliar with the origins of the book’s title, “To Kill a Mockingbird” is names as such after a very minor yet significantly symbolic scene in the book. The protagonist’s father gifts her and her brother air rifles, and explains that they can aim at any birds they see, since they eat people’s crops and destroy their gardens. However, they must never aim at a mockingbird. Their father explains that unlike most other birds, mockingbirds don’t harm the crops or gardens. They don’t cause harm and therefore they shouldn’t be harmed.

It's a repeated theme throughout the book—harm should not be caused to the innocent. It will be—it always will be—there will always be people out there who, through malice or thoughtlessness or stupidity, harm people who never did anything to them. But regardless, each person must try their best to avoid killing mockingbirds.

And now back to Akutagawa. 

Akutagawa may not seem innocent at first glance, but he doesn’t kill mindlessly. He doesn’t kill for fun. He doesn’t get any enjoyment or pleasure from it. He kills when he finds it to be necessary. Yes, he can be provoked into attacking Atsushi, but that’s about it, and that’s because of the deeply rooted emotions and trauma he has surrounding his former mentor. 

And as for Atsushi—he’s undeniably innocent here. He never asked to be here, he never even asked to join the agency [and similarly, Akutagawa did not intend to join the mafia]. Yet he’s dragged into all of this and is now forced to go on this mission that he’s underqualified for. 

Yet Dazai finds a way to harm both of them at once—Akutagawa, by ingraining his worthlessness into him further by pretending he was willing to talk to him, just to hang up the moment he gets the comm—a needlessly cruel way of going about it, designed specifically to hurt him. 

And Atsushi, by provoking Akutagawa further through making a blatant displaying of showing how he’s in constant communication with Atsushi but won’t say a single word to Akutagawa—thus sending Akutagawa deeper into his own self-loathing and need to prove himself—which he only knows how to do by attacking Atsushi.

So here we have two dead mockingbirds. How tragic. Let’s mourn their loss. 

On top of all that’s been mentioned, there’s one more thing to say about the harm caused by this plan—

Atsushi was sent in alone under the guise that he would be guided by Dazai the whole time. Like I said, this mission is something he’s unqualified for, and although it’s not impossible for him to succeed alone, that was not what he agreed to when getting the outline for this mission. 

Dazai wants to taunt Akutagawa so badly that he was willing to cut off Atsushi’s only contact with the outside world. Now Atsushi’s stuck, alone in a giant floating whale in the sky with two powerful ability users who would attack him on sight. 

So with that, we have the beginning of what will soon be the final boss fight of this arc. 

Please stick around until my next semester is over for more Anti Dazai Series content—I will be back—and if my workload is light this semester, I’ll post a few times during the next few months. Thank you so much for your patience
