#i tend to be kind of lenient on clamp bc its made up of all women

[wazzuppy]

i adore cardcaptor sakura and i always will, but i still find some of the decisions in it so bizarre.

like okay, tomoyo has a crush on sakura, cool, but why are they also second cousins? like i'm pretty sure neither of even KNOW and it doesnt have any plot significance, so why are they second cousins?? i know some people don't consider that distant of being related to really matter, but like,,,, clamp didn't HAVE to write it that way. so why did they???

#tara says stuff #cardcaptor sakura #ccs #clamp #sakura kinomoto #tomoyo daidouji #i tend to be kind of lenient on clamp bc its made up of all women #and i think these types of Things (for lack of a better word) manifest differently in women than they do w men #and i feel that way w clamp especially since-- as far as i know-- anything like uncomfy age gaps that are seen as fine in the narrative #always have the female character as what we'd consider the victim of the situation #for example sakura's mom and dad being a younger woman and older man #or sakura's girl classmate and the teacher #obviously that doesnt mean these things are good. like at all #but i dont think they mean anything intentionally malicious by it #i would feel much differently if the genders or roles were switched #but as it is i dont feel like saying clamp is immoral or something is exactly the most well thought out position to have
