Well, I’m still glad that Gojo was always a character who was growing and learning at least. He’s literally one of my favorite characters of all time now. Like, he’s never been as perfect as how the fans would make him out to be despite canonically being viewed as an absolute nuisance to everyone around him (I don’t think his peers necessarily hate him but a lot of them probably hate to see him coming and the ones who’ve dealt with him long enough to consider him a friend, tolerate him and groan whenever he opens his mouth, too 😭… out of love. He’s extremely childish so there is only sm the other adults around him can take and to an extent, his students. I think the only characters in canon who adore him and their eye’s sparkle whenever he’s around, and being a silly teacher was Yuuji and Miwa (she asked him for his autograph (he’s the most famous sorcerer in the jjk world) and when she was alone, she did a little dance in the empty hallway 🥺…) from what we’ve seen even though the others still care about him, too. They just find him rather annoying, which he most definitely is. And he does it on purpose. He plays too much.)

(Sending twice, bc my internet is shit) I was that one Slavic anon, that send a few foreign Darlings and Gojo thots back then and now recently in manga confirms that he is probably having low key racist or stereotypical thinking about foreigners, so if he met me will he say some shit about Kuril Islands dispute, or not smiling at all or other things 🥲😭😬
Tbh there's a reason the Japanese word for micro aggression is directly borrowed from English lol, sometimes the stereotypes and passive racism or xenophobia just kinda comes out and you're like "Oh! Okay!"
Though much like Gojo, it just takes one comment from someone going "dude that was actually an offensive thing to say, even if you meant it positively" and they apologize. And it's not like every Japanese person is like that
One of the lessons we teach at the start of the year is greetings around the world, and some of the students were laughing at how "silly" some of the languages and gestures/greetings looked. And their homeroom teacher had said in Japanese "I know it looks different and funny to you, but please don't act this way. It can hurt a foreigner's feelings to have their culture and language laughed at; how would you feel if someone laughed at you for saying こんにちは and bowing even though it's normal for us?"
For a character like Gojo I think he'd just need to be hit with the "You're being low-key offensive right now" stick and he'll try to apologize.
