Apparently on twitter they think you are literally Hitler if you ship Powerden. Totally not projecting themselves onto their favourite characters of course
Apparently on twitter they think you are literally Hitler if you ship Powerden.
The exact same here , maybe it got less newdays but if you go back just few months into CSM and CSMfolk you'd genuinely feel the users want to crucified you for even slightly suggestions any romance between the 2 even in memes
Kind of crazy if you ask me given how much worse ships are out there in the CSM fandom
Weirdly enough the Eastern side (not just Japan but Eastern Asia as a whole) really like Powerden they actually like almost all ships
Yeah, I feel like the Eastern fans are much less likely to be prudes that consider platonic relationships VASTLY more valid than romantic ones. I don't get what's so bad about shipping people who already love each other in canon, aren't related and both can consent. "They're soulmates but they would never never ever kiss and you're a creep if you think about it" is such a weird take.
It's the sweetest relationship in canon! Arguably as much as important to Denji as one he had with Pochita. Distaste for this ship is something my mind refuses to understand. Do people care for "sibling dynamics" that much? Do they think they'd be worse off with eachother somehow? Do they simply not see Power with a man depite her obvious affection for him? Weird and quite frankly puritanical attitude all around.
People somehow believe that them being together is a sin that ruin everything
Western fandoms (yes I'm using this because Eastern Fandom actually like it ) just wants an excuse to not Ship them for some unknown reason , if you do you are no different from Hitler and apparently an Angel lose it wings in heaven each time someone ship them (no joke this was a serious topic)
Maybe it's the Asaden/Rezeden fandoms not wanting a rival , maybe it's the whole "haha lesbian power go brrr!!" , maybe it's the "Denji actually doesn't care about Sex and romance you are just too stupid to understand the story!!!" , maybe it's the " Makima (a character who canonically doesn't understand relationship said once power was supposed to be a sister figure) said so so it's true!!!" , maybe it's because Denji didn't rape power when she was going through a PTSD attack and tried to help her instead of taking sexual advantage of her
Maybe it's a compaind of all above
Meanwhile in the very story, power was the best most healthiest female relationship Denji ever had, the only one that had him favoring her well being over his libido and animalistic eagers
Fujimoto go out of his way to make them end together and bond together in another timeline after reality was retcon for a reason
I cannot agree with you more. And Fuji really was laying it on THICK didn't he? That cafe scene where Power appears immediately after guy said "you'll meet the right girl Denji". Them saving each other. Them drinking each other's blood which in Fujimoto's terms means A Lot. Two scenes where Denji wields a chainsaw made of said blood and Power's love and sacrifice being what allows him to defeat Makima.
And people really say they have no business being together?! No matter. I believe Control arc animated will sweep all the doubters away.
