Being a protagonist does not mean being good, and besides, he is not even a villain, he is an antagonist and very hardly

This is stupid. Just like most people don't idolize the Joker, most people don't idolize Hisoka either. Stop generalizing an entire characters' fanbase. I assure you that a majority of Hisoka fans are normal people who just so happen to enjoy this fictional character while acknowledging that he's morally deplorable. Same applies to the Joker. There might be a few crazies out there who actually idolize Hisoka and think he does no wrong, but guess what? The same applies to every single fictional character out there who has a big fanbase. That's unavoidable.

As for the pedophilia claim, it's literally semantics. Some people don't think Hisoka is a pedophile because he's addicted to fighting people who are strong and they reason that it's because of this that he's attracted to Gon and Killua. Others think that he's a pedophile and he's addicted to fighting strong people at the same time. Either way, it doesn't matter because Hisoka is obviously a morally reprehensible character regardless of whether he's a pedophile or not. His very first appearance in the anime is him cutting off someone's arm because that person accidentally bumped into him. He's obviously not meant to be a good person. He himself acknowledges this lol. But despite that, he can be a likable and charismatic character because of the way he's written into the story. Because again, he's fictional and not real.

So next time, I advise you to stop getting so invested in fictional characters to the point where you try to cancel them on MAL. Maybe lead these campaigns against actual real pedophiles who are harmful to actual real children.


have u not read the first 50 posts on ghis thread lol.
I mean, this is MAL. A lot of people here are degenerates who defend loli hentai. Not a great example.

I'm not. I'm just saying that MAL is not the best place to get a consensus.

And are you still going on about the pedophilia thing? Don't you have anything better to do? There are literal racist nazi characters who commit genocide in anime like Frieza and Eren who have massive fanbases. Why are you so hung up on Hisoka of all people? Lol

A better question is: Why do people justify Palm being a pedo? She is literally a pure pedophile. Hisoka's pedoness is ambigious but Palm on the other hand has no ambiguity. She is literally a pedo. Hisoka is at least a villain, Palm isn't even a villain.

This is easily one of the worst takes I've ever seen. The sexual innuendo of Hisoka's character is meant to be metaphorical, not literal. Hisoka is drawn to power and wants to sadistically defile it in its purest form. If you can't tell the difference between Hisoka wanting to fight and defeat Gon as a combatant vs wanting to fuck him because "lolpedo", then you're not a serious person.

Hunter X Hunter is a good anime, but it does puzzle me with such scenarios happening often in the series which makes me conclude the writer is pretty creepy at times, he is no doubt projecting something.

I don't get it either But there was a study that came out awhile ago that determined that people like villians who remind them of the darker sides of their personality. That because they are set in fiction it allows people to explore the darker sides of themselves in a somewhat cathartic way. They can also envy and admire qualities in villians for example some may like villians because they live outside the norms of society. This is of course not something unique to fictional stories as people like El Chapo, Jesse James, Charles Manson, and as you mentioned Ted Bundy have plenty of fans despite their crimes. People may like Hisoka because they think he's cool or good looking or that he doesn't follow the rules who knows whatever reason they come up with but it is also likely that to his fans he is appealing to something deep within them.

That's a good point of course as a society everyone is much more lenient on female pedos than male ones that's bascially the answer.

Yeah, it's literally one tongue in cheek jest that plays that out hilariously. The logical conclusion is never going to be Hisoka having sex with little boys. It's that he is going to fight and murder them brutally when they're strong enough to feel his full wrath.

Just contrast Hisoka's obsession with their power levels to Bisky's brazen oggling of his naked body and the difference is painstakingly obvious.

@NickCipolla - doesn't change anything I stand by. This is like shippers pointing to every hidden gay subtext between Naruto and Sasuke, only to be totally BTFO'd 500+ episodes later.

If you read about him he's not a paedophile. He's turned on by 'power', not because Gon is a child. It's the core motivation for Hisoka in the series - he's a crazy clown thrillseeker who does everything for a higher thrill. People like him because he's crazy. I admit he's a weird character but it's a far cry from supporting an actual murderer - this is just a fictional character.

He is an undeniably bad person, however I think that most of the fanbase knows that.

I don't really think most people try and agree that he's a morally good character, people like him just because he's funny.

Like someone saying that they liked the Nazis in Jojo Rabbit. The Nazis are never good people in that movie, but they are pretty funny.

First of all strictly speaking, I don't think Hisoka is a pedophile. It certainly comes off that way, but his boner isn't due to the thought of fucking Gon, but molding Gon into a stronger fight so he could defeat him. His perversion isn't necessarily sexual, but a power trip.

With that said, we don't need to justify Hisoka -- not because it's fiction, since fiction needs to be justifiable (e.g. a fictional, acted kiddie porn is still wrong!!) -- but because Hisoka is a villain. Villains are supposed to do objectionable things.

I think that people who make him part of their online aesthetic don't really understand the character.

One of HXH themes is the innocence of children. Hisoka and Palm are prey on Gon's Innocence. Gon's too naive to understand.

I've not seen much of Hunter x Hunter yet, but I hate this guy to the core from what I know about him.
He's a good villain tho, but people fawning over him is just... weird. Do what you want, that guy's not real.
It's still weird in my eyes, because I can't differentiate that much between what traits I like to see in real people and what traits I like to see in fictional characters.
But I can appreciate how villains that are meant to hate are written and their role in the story tho.

Hisoka used double entendre in that scene; Yaru (する) which can both mean 'To kill' or 'To fuck', this was also further implied by his hand gesture.

can you point me to a source where that hand sign means "to fuck"? Also even if it does have that connotation, the entire point of the scene was to trigger Illumi's bloodlust which would alert Killua. Hisoka likes to mess with people psychologically, that's part of his character and how he fights.

except the clip you showed, he has his thumb between his middle and ring finger, not between the index and middle finger as the wiki article you linked shows. also googling fig sign images, all of them show the thumb between the index and middle finger, so I'm going to need another source that actually specifically shows hisoka's gesture.
