Dungeon Meshi fans stop woobifying Japanese people and realize that just because something is probably (not confirmed in the world of Dungeon Meshi ftr!!!) a cultural norm, doesn't mean that it's excusable and suddenly ok for someone to uphold it if it harms other people. I mean, we're not ok with how elves generally act, right? Doesn't mean we forgive Marcille for defending the propaganda she was given in her upbringing.

Also, Toshiro/ Shuro isn't the only Japanese character in the show/ manga, but he sure is the only one who acts the way he does. So, is it /really/ because of Japanese stoicism (that we're assuming is canon to the world) or is it something else?

When the fuck was I woobifying him

My original post was "Hey everyone maybe stop blindly hating this character and please consider cultural differences that have contributed to this misunderstanding"

I'm not coddling him or excusing him at all, and generally I empathize much more with Laios's side of the confrontation as someone on the adhd/autism spectrum myself

Also I don't think it's uncommon knowledge that in Japanese it is common to employ the "soft" no, gently refusing interactions or invitations so as not to offend versus with a flat "no". I have little doubt that Toshiro used many of these, which in his culture are just as blatant as saying "no thanks" but with Laios, who is not accustomed to that culture, he didn't recognize most of those for what they were

The conflict between Toshiro and Laios is multifaceted and I won't pretend it isn't. I am not fucking woobifying a character by acknowledging the cultural and societal influences at play here. If you want to find a more "x is wrong y is right" conflict go read or watch some shonen or shojo instead of a seinen series

I'm gonna need dunmeshi fans to think critically for a few seconds about the Toshiro and Laios misunderstanding. Turn off your western culture brains and think for a minute

It's one thing to dislike toshiro, and another thing to do it completely blindly and from a modern western perspective. Yes Laios is very heavily autistic coded and that plays SO MUCH into the entire story and not just his and Toshiro's relationship, but you need to realize that another major aspect of his misunderstanding with Toshiro is CULTURAL. Like how are yall missing the point so badly

Toshiro is from a high context culture, raised into nobility, and living in a foreign country. Think about how this may intesect with Laios as someone from an isolated, lower context culture

one of the funniest moments in dungeon meshi is chilchuk telling the party about his wife leaving him, and then marcille immediately (and correctly) telling him that it was his fault

"yeah one day my wife walked out on me, i have no idea why"

"what do you mean you have no idea, it was because you suck"

Zuko having a connection to the spirit world but instead of it being something deep and profound, it’s just because he spent three years pre-finding the avatar running towards the first weird magical shit he saw.

People are talking about how reading Dungeon Meshi gives them an internal monologue Senshi for eating properly I think we all need to adopt an internal monologue Chilchuck at work. Like the boat is literally sinking and he's just watching it happen because he's on his lunch break.
