MORE OF THE KAITO HOMO-TA SERIES
drops this and runs
my full piece for @danganpawloozazine is finally out! I really loved working on this one. they are so eepy !
you can check out the zine here for free! I also did some spot illustrations i'll post later :]
Can we get some Majestic Rep spacedolls?? Majestic Rep is the spacedolls production I fear (plus its my fav production)
Ref photos for this production tend to be a bit hard to find, at least for me, but I’m pretty happy with what I came up with. With spacedolls reqs, when in doubt I just draw Jane being Jane, Ricky puzzled yet enamored, Dolly is there, Yk
I wanna talk about something that's been bothering me since I entered the Danganronpa fanbase.
Why can't some people do actual research before echoing what they see from one person?
I'm talking about the "Kaito is homophobic" remarks I've been seeing.
I went around and did some research and wow, the fanbase in the West is a mess.
It's all a literal culture difference/mistranslation.
Here's what a Japanese translator said on reddit, they explain the word that Kaito uses and how the Japanese media have normalized in using this word.
The word is normalized that Japanese teens use it often like how the West uses the word "Fuck".
Japan's culture is just different with how they perceived in what is offensive and what isn't compared to the West.
The word is used alot in Children shows in Japan. The Japanese society didn't see it as a problem back then. Shows like Naruto, One Piece, HxH and Ouran High School Club have used the exact same word.
I've even have seen how in Persona games they treat trans as a comedy in the games. I remember people calling Ryuji "homophobic" for that one scene in the red light district, I believe in the Japanese version Ryuji called them that same word too. Of course it's supposed to be seen humorously for the Japanese fans. The West localization changed it to fit better in our culture.
I've also read from a Japanese redditor that the Japanese fanbase were using this word BEFORE the release of the game. They were already using this word to describe Kiyo.
In conclusion, it's a big culture difference. The Japanese fanbase are completely different from the West. Japanese society is slowlg changing their LGBTQ views but it can't be changed when the games are old now.
This is also speaking about the animes that have been mentioned. The fact that this word was in Children's shows in Japan was something new to me, so it explains alot why teens have normalized this word.
