I really wish Tumblr had a mute feature like Twitter has, sometimes it feels mean to BLOCK someone because they haven't done or said anything bad, but you would really rather not see the type of content they post, but at the same time I don't want to bar them from seeing or interacting with MY content if they want to.

You're not embarrassed being an old woman and being in tumblr? I would rather die that my grannies have an actual account on tumblr for celebrities rho

Why would I be embarrassed for having interests I enjoy? My guess is that you’re really, really young. And that maybe you don’t actually have solid relationships with adults who have lives outside of parenting or work. But I hope for you that when you’re my age you have hobbies that bring you happiness. And that by that point you realize that trying to shame someone for being an adult only makes you look too immature to be in adult spaces, which Tumblr is.

When I was 20, I loved music, making art, writing and reading good stories, fashion, talking about popular culture, making friends, going to concerts… You’d be surprised how little changes when you’re my age. I just have way more money and time to enjoy those things now. I’m only 55. I’m not dead. I’m also not a “granny”, but even if I was, I’d probably still like all of those things.

Ageism isn’t cute, love. And I sure don’t ever see people telling men they shouldn’t go to football games or have their little “fantasy football leagues” or wear their favorite player’s merch. For every comment you guys like to say is misogynistic (but isn’t), this is one that really reeks of it.

#ageism #two or three young farts tried to shame me lately about my age #“don't wanna talk to someone my parents' age uwu” or “hope i won't be on tumblr at your age” etc. (said those brats) #here's a short message for you: NEVER forget that your fav fandoms & most fanarts you steal were created by 40 yo+ people #respect goes both ways (young and old) duh! #reblog

Hi there!

I think I can answer your questions, having been involved in both the JP and Western fandoms for over 12 years. During this time, I've gathered valuable insights about the KojiKen (Hyuga × Wakashimazu) and KenKoji (Wakashimazu × Hyuga) camps.

The explanation will be somewhat extensive, so brace yourself!

Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge the significant impact these two couples had on the yaoi and BL genres. They experienced a peak in popularity in the early '80s, laying the foundation for modern gay shipping in manga and anime, primarily catering to a female audience. A fierce rivalry emerged, with Japanese shippers from both factions engaging in debates during events like Comiket, vying for which couple best aligned with the original work and characterizations.

"I cannot understand the reason for so many fights..Could it be because of the different representations of the ship ?"

You've touched upon a critical point that largely explains the discord between the two shipper groups!

As you've noticed, there are glaring differences in character portrayals based on the producing fanworks group. The designation of one character as the seme or uke alters everything – from physical appearance to personality and, of course, the dynamics of the relationship. Western shippers tend to be less rigid in assigning top and bottom roles to characters, unlike Japanese and other East Asian populations, where these roles are considered standard in fictional couples.

Returning to Japanese fans, they are predominantly divided into two groups due to opposing views on Hyuga and Wakashimazu, fostering deep disagreement and rivalry. Of course, there are individuals who appreciate both ships, and more power to them – they've hit the jackpot!

Your sentence (quoted above) references a single ship, but in reality, KojiKen and KenKoji are so distinct that it would be more accurate to speak of two ships, despite utilizing the same characters.

I want to emphasize that shippers from both groups may find common ground, as opinions within each group vary, and vice versa; disagreements exist within the same group. For instance, I exclusively ship KojiKen, yet I don't agree with certain representations of the couple and characters, especially those made by young Western/non-Japanese shippers.

Regarding the conflict, I would say it has become almost obsolete compared to the '80s and '90s. Time has passed since the creation of KojiKen and KenKoji, and many shippers moved on and gained perspective. The Japanese shipping fandom, primarily composed of women in their forties to sixties, has matured significantly, avoiding futile disputes. Additionally, people can filter content they don't want to see and block/mute users on social media, contributing to a decrease in ship wars. Generally, the Japanese are polite, respectful, and tend to avoid conflicts, unlike some overseas fans who may become vindictive over trivial matters.

Personally, although I detest conflicts and try to stay out of ship wars, I remain straightforward when interacting with the non-JP fandom. Some individuals struggle to comprehend my stance of exclusively loving KojiKen and not tolerating its reverse ship, leading to misunderstandings, as happened a few months ago with a KenKoji shipper who took offense when I blocked them to avoid seeing fanworks related to that pairing, even though I had nothing against the user.

In any case, I've been part of various fandoms and enjoy several pairings, but I've never encountered such rivalry and animosity as with KojiKen and KenKoji. These two couples evoke extremely polarized and passionate opinions. To illustrate how divisive they are, if you gather all those who ship Hyuga and Wakashimazu, based on my observations, roughly 50% ship KojiKen and 50% ship KenKoji. I've never seen anything like it!

I mentioned earlier that the conflicts are not as intense as before, but shippers, regardless of their side, remain just as passionate about their opinions as in the '80s.

TL;DR:

The conflicts between the factions stem from their completely opposite interpretations of the characters and their relationship, leading to a lack of consensus.

The drastic changes in character aspects based on shippers are partly due to the seme/uke dynamic and, once again, fan interpretation, irrespective of the shipper group.

Edit: Shipping men together ≠ fujoshi.

Hi :3 !!

here flowar, I wanted to ask a question to the shipper community in general since I would like to find out some things..especially about the ships that surround the fugoshis of the fandom 🫵

Well, the issue that I would like to find out is very simple since I have recently seen problems between both sides of the ship between hyuga and wakashimazu, I cannot understand the reason for so many fights..Could it be because of the different representations of the ship ? I have seen that on the Japanese side several aspects of the appearance are changed on both sides !! And that is very confusing 😿

If someone can explain the subject to me, I would greatly appreciate it 💕

Edit: I deleted my original reblog, because I didn't know that the person I was replying to was underage. I made it clear on my bio that I don't want to interact with minors people if possible, because I write about adult/smutty themes. Thank you for your understanding!

okay so yeah I did not find any kojiken fanfiction so I'll be writing one myself cause why not? I have no clue on how to use ao3 so until I figure that out I'm probably going to post some here (when I have actual time and inspiration to write one since I haven't written a fanfiction in a year), so if anyone who might be interested in reading that has some request/suggestions I would glady take that to gain some inspiration

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

References to KojiKen and KenKoji shipwars.

Do not read if one of the couples triggers you.

This post contains a bit of my personal opinions regarding the pairings.

I'm going to briefly touch on one of the most controversial topics in the CT shipping subculture: KojiKen and KenKoji.

In comparison to East Asian fans, Western fans care less about dominant/top/seme or submissive/bottom/uke roles when shipping, for various reasons. So, I often wonder if some people know the difference between KojiKen and KenKoji, especially with the increasing popularity of these two couples?

Although both pairings feature Hyuga and Wakashimazu, don't assume that KojiKen and KenKoji are synonymous:

In KojiKen, Hyuga takes on the seme role, and Wakashimazu is the uke, whereas it's the opposite in KenKoji.

There's more to these couples than just their sexual dynamics, which is why there have been many ship wars between these two factions. The two groups of shippers simply disagree on the characterization of the characters within the couples. Some are convinced that Hyuga should be the seme or uke in the pairing based on his personality, and the same goes for Wakashimazu.

However, the world isn't all black and white, and some people love both ships. There are two types of shippers in this case: KojiKenKoji shippers (preferring Hyuga as the seme) and KenKojiKen shippers (preferring Wakashimazu as the seme).

From what I've read on Japanese forums, there were heated debates and even huge arguments at the Comiket between shippers in the '80s and '90s when these pairings were at the height of their popularity. As their popularity waned, the ship wars faded, but with each new anime adaptation, new shippers emerge who might not be aware of the complicated history of these two ships...

One positive development over the years is the rise of social media allowing shippers to curate the content they see. Nowadays, ship wars between KojiKen and KenKoji shippers are extremely rare, but it doesn't mean that both factions have mellowed in their opinions.

Personally, I'm 100% a Kojikenist, which means I don't want to interact with reverse shippers (KenKoji shippers) nor see and read their fanworks. I have nothing against them personally and respect their preferences, it's just that KenKoji triggers me, so I prefer to avoid anything related to it.

Honestly, I hate writing and talking about this topic because it means a lot to me—it just deeply annoys me for several reasons I don't want to discuss right now.

A few years ago, a person from the KenKojiKen camp asked me to write an essay to prove why KojiKen is more "logical" and legitimate than KenKoji. I will do it, but honestly I won't do it with much enthusiasm, considering it's a very sensitive topic which annoys me A LOT. I probably won't tag it to avoid causing conflicts, hahaha...

But... One day, I'll write a lengthy post to explain the history of KojiKen and KenKoji, as they are significant elements of Captain Tsubasa's subculture and the history of yaoi and Boys Love genres.

In any case, this is just a "short" post to explain the major difference between the two ships and my position regarding them.

My last words: fuck ship wars!!

Captain Tsubasa S2 - Junior Youth: The Importance of Hyuga and Wakashimazu's Hospital and Car Scenes

While the Shin Captain Tsubasa OVAs were of high quality, in my humble opinion, they omitted several scenes probably due to time constraints. One particular scene that I eagerly wait to see animated, either in today's episode or the next two, is the one where Hyuga visits Wakashimazu in the Hamburg hospital and their subsequent conversation in the car. While not essential to the main storyline, this scene provides crucial insights into the bond between Hyuga and Wakashimazu.

1. The Enigmatic Relationship of Hyuga and Wakashimazu

When reading the manga or watching the anime, there are few scenes centered solely on Hyuga and Wakashimazu.

Most of their encounters happen on the football field, where words are scarce. The exceptions are few, with the third Nankatsu-Toho finals being a standout. But still, questions linger: What lies beyond the surface of their camaraderie? Do they share interests beyond football? Can their contrasting personalities coexist peacefully? The answers are found in two key scenes within the Junior Youth arc: the hospital and car moments, which offer a glimpse into their off-field interactions and shed light on their dynamic.

2. Context and Significance of the Hospital and Car Scenes

To truly grasp the significance of these scenes, let's revisit what led up to them. Wakashimazu injures his hand, defending against Schneider's powerful shot, requiring a trip to Hamburg Hospital.

Meanwhile, Japan faces a humiliating defeat against Schneider and Wakabayashi. After the match, a heated altercation erupts between Hyuga and Wakabayashi, resulting in a physical confrontation. Following these events, a disheartened Hyuga relinquishes his captaincy.

Wakashimazu, accompanied by Katagiri, leaves the hospital and finds his captain waiting for him, battered but smiling. Hyuga had gone out of his way to be by Wakashimazu's side.

The two young men share a car ride, during which, for the first time in Captain Tsubasa history, we witness a conversation between Toho's captain and his goalkeeper.

3. Unveiling the Relationship

The first question that arises from this scene is why Hyuga decided to visit Wakashimazu. The answer lies in his genuine concern for his goalkeeper and the emotional comfort Wakashimazu provides him. Normally, Hyuga is known for his fiery, arrogant demeanor and suspicion of others, but his attitude changes dramatically in Wakashimazu's presence. He exhibits a side of his personality reserved for those close to his heart—smiling, caring, relaxed, and even vulnerable.

In return, Wakashimazu reciprocates, displaying an even more surprising and blatant change in behavior. His expression is entirely relaxed and, dare I say, CUTE when he interacts with Hyuga. This departure from his usual stoic, composed demeanor, with furrowed brows, is very notable.

YO LOOK AT THIS ↑↑↑ who's that angry young man on the left and this young maiden in love on the right KEK

While we've seen him smile at Hyuga during the national middle school tournament final, this goes beyond that.

In addition to his gentle smile and soft demeanor, this manifests in his choice of words as he attempts to console a deeply disheartened Hyuga. However, these nuances often evade translation, underscoring the intricacies of the Japanese language.

4. Language Subtleties in Captain Tsubasa

Captain Tsubasa exemplifies the subtleties of the Japanese language perfectly.

For exemple, Hyuga addresses Wakashimazu informally, using his last name without honorifics or "omae/お前", a second-person singular pronoun considered familiar in this context.

In contrast, Wakashimazu uses "keigo/敬語", a polite language form, to address Hyuga due to his position as captain and out of immense respect. He primarily calls him "captain/キャプテン", occasionally using "anta/あんた" (a polite second-person singular pronoun in this context), and very rarely addressing him as "Hyuga-san/日向さん", using the last name with an honorific suffix.

Conclusion:

The hospital and car scenes between Hyuga and Wakashimazu offer invaluable insights into the characters' relationship, personalities, and the subtleties of their interactions.

While not central to the main storyline, these moments enrich the Captain Tsubasa experience and provide fans with a deeper appreciation of the intricate dynamics between Hyuga and Wakashimazu's unspoken camaraderie or more if you like to interpret their relationship this way.

PRAY FOR THE SCENES' ANIME ADAPTATION!!...🛐🛐🛐
