while i love dorohedoro making ebisu disabled and the comic relief was a really bad decision on q hayashida's part. it gives the idea that being disabled is funny and a bad thing and makes me sad as a disabled person to read. https://twitter.com/ReverendClown/status/1291204189067063299

I feel like Ebisu's reveal could have been just as interesting if her character dealt with her trauma of the encounter with nikaido and kaiman or even amnesia..and her aloof characteristics can just be atested to her being literally 13 yrs old. there was no need to sexualize her

in a class assignment i wrote about the patriarchy's effect on media, i also had some choice things to say. ( this was written before i finished the manga and didnt know the other women characters introduced. )

im running on no sleep as im writing this thread so please forgive any mistakes. but another thought. its okay to make her disabled! just making her the comic relief and the joke was in bad taste.
