ramble about your analysis of the characters!!! what does fanon get wrong? what traits get erased?

personally i'm most annoyed by fanon soukoku ... they would NOT act like that. they are the most toxic dynamic ever. they suck. they're way overhyped in comparison to the other characters. also KUNIKIDA..... what did they do to you.... the incorrect-quotes-ification of bsd is KILLING HIM. he is NOT the most put together one... that guy is consistently on the verge of a full scale breakdown. also the constant flattening of kouyou and yosano into #girlbosses or moms. THEY ARE NOT

something that annoys me to no end is people feminizing/pushing stereotypes onto characters. especially in skk people feel the need to feminize one of them in almost every fanart and fanfic and like??? why cant there be two mascs in a relationship?? not to mention how a lot of people feminize characters and make them seem weak and needy at the same time which is... interesting? the worst part is that it feels like they are trying to make the ship seem straight by making one of them super feminine and the other super masculine. mischaracterization itself bothers me but this genre of mischaracterizing is one that makes me particularly uncomfortable...

dazai is so mischaracterized. dazai is not a wet cat. dazai is literally a suicidal freak!! i also hate how everyone treats dazai as an innocent victim especially 15yo dazai. let dazai be fucked up!! if dazai was just some uwu victim character that would make it so much less interesting.

To me, all characters suffer from mischaracterization. Not because of Asagiri being bad at written and showing their traits (though with some it might be the case. Yes Im talking about you Nikolai, Mori, Fukuzawa and Francis) but there is also a lot of poor comprehension skills on the side of the fandom. And of course that the most popular characters suffer from it. People that dont read either Stormbringer or 15 and speak about Chuuya, for exmaple. Those that dont read Dazai Entrance Exam talking about his and Kunikida dynamic. Those that dont pay attention to little details in the backstory and present time of the characthers complaining about their problems (Atsushi and Akutagawa are the best examples, though Yosano, Q and Kyoka also suffer from this) and then we have the ones that only come to make ships and ignore the actual relaintionship (is that how you write that word?) portrayed on the manga or the light novels.

Nearly everyone in the show is mischaracterized. Mori, hes a well written character. Hes a villain. Hes meant to be unlikeable and hes smart. Hes one of the smartest characters in bsd. Its annoying that all he gets watered down to is a pedo. Hes an interesting character and although i dont support his actions, i find him likeable in the show.

Dazai. He is NOT a hot alpha suicidal baddy wolf demon hybrid bad boy. Nor is he a wet skrunkly innocent feminine cat or whatever. Hes a 22 year old suicidal man that has intense trauma from the abuse he had to go through as a teenager. He was an abuser, and he was abused. He has killed people before. A lot of people water him down. Dazai haters hate him because hes bad. Hes morally grey. Nearly every character in bsd is morally grey. They only hate him because hes annoying (which is basically a coping mechanism) or because he abused akutagawa. But then they love akutagawa even though he abused Kyouka??? Double standards much. Its annoying seeing how mischaracterized he is.

Chuuya. Chuuya isnt a feminine tsundere uwu cat boy or a violent and aggressive person. Hes normal. Hes loud yea and sure he can be aggressive but thats because he grew up on the streets and is literally in the port MAFIA. He has manners and is shown to be kind at times. Also hes not a tsundere. As much as i like soukoku its really annoying seeing people water chuuya down to a tsundere or smth like that. People need to stop feminizing him. He doesnt hate dazai. Its canon. Their relationship is complicated and hard to explain. But he definitely is NOT a tsundere.

I would go on to ramble more and more about everyone but this is already really long and i had to cut out a lot but basically people need to stop reading/watching with their eyes closed and actually look at the show/manga. Because these characters are well written and complex. The show is about black and whites. How not everyone is good but that doesnt mean theyre evil either. Its stupid trying to make those MORALLY GREY characters fit into either a black or white box.

Sigma. People make him out to be some "UWU, soft, 3 year old". First, he's existed for 3 years, he appears to be in his late 20 or early 30s. Second, he isn't some innocent person, he was fully ready to fill Teruko full of holes with huge guns.

All of the characters are annoyingly mischaracterized so it's hard to choose but either chuuya or mori Chuuya isn't mean, homophobic, or a softie outside of his mafia exterior and Mori is a complex character who i'm pretty sure hasn't sad' anyone just really psychologically damaged them

Chuuya. I feel like its these cringe Bakudeku shippers that mischaracterize him just like how they do to Izuku. Bro is short, yes, BUT HE IS ALSO THE STRONGEST ABILITY USER AND YOU WILL TREAT HIM AS SUCH.

I feel like Chuuya might be one of the most mischaracterized characters because what do you mean he's dumb??? The other repliers said the other parts of why he's mischaracterized, but I often see people make him out to be stupid when Dazai is involved. He's not as smart as him, but he's still intelligent in his own right. He's not just brawn, he's also brain!!! Just not as much as Dazai, but still, Dazai is pretty much one of the smartest characters, so that's an unfair measure of Chuuya's intelligence. He works well under pressure, quick in accessing situations, and can make pretty good strategical and tactical decisions.

stop youre so real for that i cannot stand fanon sokokou, like no one understands them correctly just LOOK with your EYES. they care so much about each other but will never in a million years express that in any clear way and thats why its GOOD. theyre both so insane in canon and then in fanon theyre just like. normal? unbelievable.

There are a lot of mischaracterised characters, but PLEASE stop acting like soukoko is all lovely and cuddly with each other. LIKE I love skk but their characters are a lot deeper than ‘just a ship’ and they’re relationship is so special because of the interesting dynamic between the two. Make them acting like a normal couple saying ‘ily’ or pet names randomly won’t bring them enough justice and is literally like talking about ‘the girl’ in a gay relationship. Understand they’re toxic but too close too each other to see what usual love is like. I don’t care if you do or don’t ship them, we know they have a great bond formed on shared traumas and bad memories, so their kind of love is never gonna be like the one society asks for. Not saying they’re bad for each other and that they can’t be soft, just don’t forget about the toxic amount of feelings between them.♡ 

Oh and stop making Chuuya look like a twink. He’s small and cute, alr, but remember about his temper and how freaking strong that man is

Fuckin' Kunikida bro!!

Like, I hate hate hate the running joke of "lmao look everyone has trauma except for him", dawg jst cuz he had a normal-ish past dont mean he's fine rn? 

Kids legit blew up in front o' him and he (as well as the other ada members) have been so close to death so many times. Ppl gen erase his trauma.

And also when ppl think he's this cold, uncarin' person. Like did yall watch/read bsd at all or what? His care for everyone 'round him is so fuckin obvious from the first fuckin volume man.

My guy deserves an apology fr
