"why couldn't shuro have just been honest about what he felt with laios and falin it's not that hard" are you. are you White
#dungeon meshi
#shuro
#toshiro nakamoto
#look you can hate him for other things but this is very clearly a case of cultures (& personalities influenced by these cultures) clashing
#shuro is japanese/east asian-coded and laios is european white boy
#i am not japanese but i also come from a collectivistic society
#pakikisama is a filipino value both prized and abhorred
#it relies heavily on being able to read social cues and prior knowledge of societal norms
#shuro being from a different country/culture is important to his character
#his repressed nature is meant to contrast with laios' open one like that's the point
#they both had similar upbringings but different coping mechanisms
#shuro explicitly admits that he's jealous of laios being able to live life sincerely
#anyway the point is they were operating on different expectations entirely and neither had healthy enough communication skills
#to hash things out before they got too bad
#re his attraction to falin i personally believe he unfortunately mpdg-ed her
#she represented something new & different. a fresh drink of water for his parched repressed self
#alas not meant to be
#i'll be honest the way ryoko kui handles both fantasy & regular racism in dm is more miss than hit for me
#i don't doubt that a lot of the shuro hate is based off of marcille's pov of him
#marcille famously racist 😭
#characters' racist views don't often get (too) challenged
#practically everyone is casually racist at some point
#anyway. again if you're gonna hate shuro at least hate him for being complicit in human trafficking & slavery
#he couldn't help falling for the wrong woman goddamn 😭
