Is there a character in your favorites that causes people to have misunderstandings about you? (Or could potentially cause people to have a misunderstanding about you?)

Someone assumed I was a masochist who likes to be controlled and/or is easily manipulated because Denji from "Chainsaw Man" is one of my favorite characters. It irks me that that's what some people boil his character down to (putting aside how it's not completely accurate), but it's not why I like his character as much as I do.




EDIT: If anything, I have more characters in my favorites who are manipulative, but that's not an accurate reflection of me either.

No, all characters in my favorites reflect my love for BIKINI ARMORS and there's zero misunderstandings about that since it's the intended message that i want to send to anyone who visits my profile loud, direct and clear.

No, not to my knowledge at least. Maybe you could try saying something about me as a person based on my favourite characters and see how accurate you are?

Well I don't know, it hard to describe with my favorite characters, they are variety but one thing I know that I love strong female lead.

No idea the only one who talked about my profile favorite were what I call crusader who want to push on you their values by force if necessary and with those it's not really a discussion but a one sided argument in which you always lose and they always win making their opinions about favorite irrelevant.

Just because I have 3 favourite characters with incestuous tendancies doesn't mean I approve of it or practice it o.o
I don't care what they get up to at home, so long as the day is saved.

@Intasa your a kuudere or Tsundere who masks these romantic fillings in convoluted plots.

(I just mashed Saber, Kristina, Run, Lelouch and Askaladd together)

Good lord I've never seen a more boring set of replies to a pretty decent question. I don't think there's anything particularly strange or controversial about any of my top 20 bar Araragi, but he's rather well known these days. For the memes, I'd say given that Yui from K-On! is the posterchild of right-wing 4chan fanatics that could cause a misunderstanding. But also idk anyone that takes that seriously.

They do not own her, she is not with those freaks. She'd be grossed out and scared of them.

@DemonChicken123 Yeah, I'm beginning to get the feeling that this thread isn't going to get a lot of interesting responses. Maybe I'll need to tweak the question a little bit. Was not aware that Yui had become coopted like that. That's very unfortunate.

Probably that a majority of them are blondes. But rather than me preferring blondes, I love them for different reasons and they just happens to be blondes.

Aside from that, maybe, idk what else people think about my favorites?

Morgan did have that wife-husband talk which I'm not a fan of (hence my favorite is more referring to Tonelico rather than Morgan) but since a lot of people like that it can be wrong assumption I guess.

While I do have Shinobu in fav, this doesn't personally apply, but I have seen the morality police try to insinuate things about others with loli favs.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Someone asked me if I had daddy issues because of Gendou and Bondrewd.



No! I just like complex antagonists with convoluted backgrounds and motivations rather than the "pure evil" villains.

no.....? I don't think so? I suppose most of them are protagonists though, so they might assume I'm a basic b*tch in that regard

Rudeus Greyrat maybe from Mushoku Tensei. Otherwise, no.

People easily judge him- especially in the early seasons, which is valid- about how gross, perverted, and disrespectful he is. Which, he definitely is! But. His growth is astounishing as the series goes on. He shows us raw hidden emotions, trauma, and the true ugliness that it is to really be brave enough to live and suffer through self hatred and be able to slowly have the will to change to be better. Of course we have to hate him... because, he's us, who are afraid to really live.

@ryzxgum If someone read "Chainsaw Man" and that's all they got from Denji's character, then their opinion wouldn't matter to me.

Nope, not on MAL at least but many fujoshis have judged me on youtube accusing me of liking pedophillia and incest because of the profile pic I use. Just to be clear they are baseless accusations and the two characters are not family or blood related.
