real it's so annoying when there's a villain character who already has a long list of sins they've committed that u can hate them for if u wanna hate, but apparently that's not good enough for some ppl b/c they'll straight up start making shit up to hate them for instead.
sukuna is already a cold-hearted mass murderer and a cannibal. kenny has executed a baby, he walks around in ppl's corpses, and he has a record of lord only knows how many other victims of his experiments across his history.
they're both already canonically guilty of many unthinkable crimes, so why must something like "rapist" be stamped on also?
just because characters are villains, that doesn't mean they'll commit literally every other evil act in the book too. you can see that irl in prisons with how inmates will treat rapists and pedos in there. it's not that black and white.
no problem with dead dove fan content, i've read many a sukuna and kenjaku dd fic myself, but this is about those who talk as if it's a matter of canon fact. i wouldn't care if it was canon, but as of rn it's not.
these characters are more than evil enough already without needing to add on this extra shit to make them even more evil-er-er-er to justify a dislike of them. but apparently only sexual abuse is what makes one truly evil.
.... just pls can they be mad at them for the bad things they've actually done.
Thank you, starlight! You get it!
Yes, exactly. If it were canon, I would not care – they're not real. My frustration stems from people spreading misinformation and proclaiming something as canon when it isn't.
It'd be like saying Mahito murdered a puppy. Regardless of whether or not you think he'd do that, trying to pass that off as an action that happened in canon when it didn't is so frustratingly stupid
You can hate a villain or applaud their crimes without conjuring up random shit.
I, for one, love rapist Kenjaku in FANFIC. I read and write about it a lot, it's an interestingly dark topic to write about (same with Sukuna) but again, there is a HUGE difference between just saying, "Oh yeah, that'd be a cool headcanon/fic" and "they did this in canon and anyone who says otherwise is a rape apologist."
Other than my frustrations over the blatant misinformation, I get annoyed because so many annoying people use false information as a "gotcha" against Kenjaku and Sukuna fans.
How dare you like Sukuna and Kenjaku? They're rapists! How could you like a rapist?
But then when you call them on their shit and point out that, no, neither character ever canonically raped anyone, they deflect and call you a rape apologist for proving them wrong.
I just start blocking anyone who believes either nowadays because they're making shit up on purpose and if they're not, they're almost guaranteed to accuse you of shit for liking either character.
I hate that such deep, well-thought out and human villains are slowly getting reduced to "lol rapist" by illiterate fans 😒
