(Kinda a rant post about Argonavis)
(Not bashing them btw)
The Japanese fandom is just so... I don’t even know the word to describe it? At first they complained about not wanting Argonavis to interact with the female characters (which I can understand, keeping their purity and whatever), but even after it’s confirmed that they’ll be in a separate story, the fans still aren’t satisfied. I keep seeing comments like, “if it’s going to be a separate story, then don’t make them under the Bang Dream franchise.” Like, Argonavis is already going to be separate from the girls, why can’t they be satisfied with that? Do they just not want men to be associated with the franchise? It’s basically the same as Idolm@ster Side M, and their franchise is doing just fine.
Wanting them to be an entirely different franchise simply because it’s a different story just sounds like a dumb excuse of not wanting male characters associated. Argonavis is still a BAND, so it makes sense for them to still be under Bandori. Like, sure, every Pretty Cure generation are magical girls and need to defeat bad guys, but each of them have a different story and characters, why not separate them? Because they’re all still female characters. Mkay.
And another stupid point I saw brought up was something along the lines of “make the events different from the girl version so fujoshis don’t come pouring in.” Like??? Because character interaction is only ever for the sake of making ships, and not for character development, am I right?
Seriously, Argonavis have a different official website, a different story, and (I presume) a different twitter account dedicated to them. If you don’t like them, they’ll barely have to be in your lives. What more can you ask for? Getting real tired of the jp fandom’s shit.
