hiiii im definitely DONE rerolling. you can add me if you want!!

also i might have a side account because i love ibuki a lot too.... :')

I dont remember aping this aa but after the song I couldnt even fc it anymore

As I said before, I don't really follow the D4DJ project so I'm not as active in the fanbase, but apparently people don't like Merm4id because they're "hyper-sexualized", but honestly? Unpopular opinion: They're not that sexualized.

For one, they're college students and therefore adults, so them being the more fanservice-y unit isn't as problematic. I saw someone express some worry about the seiyuu, but fear not! All of the Merm4id seiyuu are adults.

Second, their designs could be so much worse. I don't really know how to describe it nor do I want to provide examples, but for lack of a better explanation, they could be wearing the skimpiest swimsuits on the planet as opposed to simply showing off some skin.

Third off, DON'T SLUT-SHAME WOMEN. Like, Jesus. That should be pretty self-explanatory; don't call women slurs like "slut" or "whore". Women have every right to express themselves however they want as long as it's not problematic.

Fourth, I really hope this doesn't erupt into really bad discourse, especially since the activity rules state that discourse is considered a part of harassment/rudeness "at varying degrees", and an example of discourse posting is debate on the sexualization of characters. If D4DJ gets its own site akin to Banpa, I hope the Merm4id discourse won't worsen.

In conclusion, Merm4id doesn't deserve all this hate and I figured I might as well share my thoughts because I genuinely hate discourse and I don't want things to get worse; Banpa is one of the most positive communities I've ever found myself in, and there's little discourse (unlike twitter and sukutomo).

Of course, I'm not saying you have to like Merm4id, and it's okay if you're not comfortable with them. I'm just sharing my opinions, that's all.

wanna see something sad?

GuruMiku is messing up my timing hard ... I was so happy I was getting a bunch of Great FCs there ... and this is the price I pay ...

we’re not gonna talk abt eves leg but heres ur daily update

I know I’m not posting about bandori again but I witch you a happy halloween hits too hard

Anyone know where the re:zero collab is? Kept hearing when it came out it was gonna be in October, and i was thinking of tiering with my energy juice, im gonna play bandori again to get juices and (hopefully) get to top 100.

I don't know how long this took to complete but it took long, for sure.

i was looking thru love live figures and merch for fun, and... which of these is unlike the others

Remember how I said I was done posting about Gurumiku today? Hahaha nope. So I finally fINALLY saved enough for a ten pull and wasted it . . . And all of the wonderful gems I’ve gotten from this event,,,,, oh well,,,,

At least I got that four star Rei earlier!

While I'm well aware that a lot of this isn't being done with negative or cruel intentions, some of y'all really need to understand that there's a stark difference between giving an honest to God critique when discussing your opinions on Merm4id's designs, choreography, and music... and just blatant slut shaming.

Even if it's unintentional.

Again, I don't know much about D4DJ since I'm waiting for a potential English release but the amount of negative opinion on Merm4id that has been nothing more than people saying they're "gross" or "slutty" for wearing outfits that happen to reveal their bodies (much more than what most fans are probably used to in a Bushiroad franchise, sure, but they're college students. not children.)... is pretty bothersome to say the least.

Having "sexier" characters aren't a bad thing, especially when we're to expect more to their personalities outside of their dance and music choices. It's sort of insulting to judge a book by it's cover when we haven't even gotten to the nitty gritty of their characters yet, something people even did during Bandori's early run when it came to certain girls.
