First things first This thread will have SPOILERS
A LOT. SO FUCK OFF IF YOU HAVEN& #39;T FINISHED GAIM; This is just ryuki!
No It& #39;s not, The concept of a rider fight show hasn& #39;t *honestly* been done since Ryuki, the final arc revolves around A rider fight yeah? but 1/2

Comparing it to ryuki is just disingenuous, also ftr. Madoka isn& #39;t like ryuki either. it& #39;s a funny meme but it& #39;s seriously. SERIOUSLY. nothing like Ryuki. 2/2
Second off; Oren is a harmful Gay Stereotype
Only so far as being flamboyant, I& #39;d heard shit about him being predatory, about transphobia surrounding him or coming out of him, and I *watched* for that. and it& #39;s not in the show. 1/2

NOT ONLY THAT, but Oren has more over on the other gay characters in Kamen Rider in multiple ways; For ONE. He& #39;s confirmed as gay, as well as NOT BEING A VILLAIN. OR DYING. Oren *survives the fucking show* which is better than rider time ryuki had Bravo was seriously a top 5. 2/2
Thirdly; Yoko is a misogynistic depiction of a female rider!
No she& #39;s not. Yoko has the luxury of being a main character in the show proper, as well as having an arc and morals that she& #39;s dedicated towards. I& #39;d heard that she was bad, because "she wants to be subservient" 1/4

Which is some bullshit. She doesn& #39;t want the power of a god. She shares that with Zack Kouta and Michy, She wants to protect someone she believes in as a leader, it& #39;s not the most empowering? but it& #39;s a personality, a real one. that she& #39;s allowed to have. 2/4
The only thing Yoko is guilty of is being a villain(Barely, she sides with Kaito at the tail end, which we find out isn& #39;t even objectively evil in a black and white way.) and Dying. Something she shares with like. EVERY OTHER FUCKING FEMALE RIDER UP TO BASICALLY ZERO ONE 3/4
Yeah it sucks that she dies and she& #39;s the only main Series female rider in the show, But If you& #39;re gonna hate gaim for it, Hate Ryuki, Faiz, Hate the shows that don& #39;t even have a female rider for 75% of the shows fucking run, then get back at me, otherwise you& #39;re a hypocrite. 4/4
Fourth, and this is gonna be. Vindicating. Mitsuzane Kureshima.
Michy is the most reassuring, and inspiring portrayal of a mentally ill Person suffering severely from Borderline Personality Disorder that I& #39;ve ever seen. 1/16

Michy goes through the most important arc of the show, and a lot of people hate Michy for illegitimate, Ableist, or just downright non-sensical reasons. I& #39;ll try to tackle them to the best of my ability one by one.
One, He& #39;s a misogynist/Incel/Simp/Etc. 2/16
One, He& #39;s a misogynist/Incel/Simp/Etc. 2/16
The idea that Michy is sexist or an incel has some grass level bearing in the story, he does attempt to remove the agency of Mai, he does dream of her at one point in a way that implies romantic feelings, or something similar.
Problem with this though. 3/16
Problem with this though. 3/16
Michy doesn& #39;t want Mai romantically, Unlike Kaito and Kouta do. Michy more than once shows that he doesn& #39;t want Mai like that, He teases Mai and Kouta about possibly dating in a way that he obviously isn& #39;t jealous about, plus when he finally shows his colours to kouta 4/16
He decries his & #39;betrayal& #39; as he believed he deserved Mai.
Michy& #39;s feelings towards Mai are possessive, they& #39;re obsessive, but they& #39;re not romantic, Michy comes off more as an obsessed Brother to Mai than anything else. he wants only her to be happy, and only likes people 5/16

Worthy of her. Yeah he& #39;s reductive, but he ONLY thinks this way about Mai, and it& #39;s not like he thinks of any woman other than her like this.
Two, He& #39;s unforgivable/Evil/Sniveling/Cowardly/A Villain/A Liar.
Whoo boy. Okay. this one is going to be a fucking doozy. 6/16

Let me speak frankly, I have Borderline Personality Disorder. Specifically, I have the greater group of Cluster B Personality Disorder. But in particular, I have Borderline traits most.
Borderline is not well portrayed in media, Let me list some examples. good and bad 7/16

Note. Most of these are headcanon/Conjecture, Personality disorders are rarely confirmed so if you& #39;re gonna give me shit about diaging fictional characters fuck off.
Anakin Skywalker, Goro Akechi, Kokichi Oma, Takumi Inui, Jaime Lannister. Char Aznable. Not elaborating 8/16

I missed a lot, but those are ones close to me. You know what most of these have in common? I& #39;ll get to that. but let& #39;s address some things about Michy first.
Michy obviously has cluster B, he has Self-Loathing traits of Narcissism. He& #39;s antisocial, and his biggest ones. 9/16

Are Borderline, and Histrionic Personality Disorder. Educate yourself on the symptoms, I& #39;m running to long on Michy, But. he heavily suffers from The attention hunger, identity problems, Self Destruction, and dishonest Symptoms of Both. 10/16
Michy does horrible things Michy betrays people he loves he drives them away because of something called Idealization/Devaluation, It& #39;s a core symptom of Borderline, It& #39;s why he treats Mai like he does, it& #39;s why Kouta is part of his plans until he& #39;s not, then he has to die. 11/16
Borderlines have a tendency to see things, people in Black and white you& #39;re perfect or you& #39;re worthless, or evil. Michy Thinks of his past as perfect, he hates anything that would ruin that, he thinks Mai is perfect and he thought Kouta was perfect until He & #39;turned& #39; on him. 12/16
When an idealized person is Devalued to a borderline person, They lose all value, they& #39;re a traitor, they have to be abandoned or destroyed because they hurt them in ways that can& #39;t be expressed. Sometimes this can recover, usually it won& #39;t. 13/16
Michy is fortunate, no matter how far he went, how low he sunk, I& #39;m not going to justify everything Michy does. most of it is unjustifiable. that& #39;s just how we can sink. I& #39;ve done bad things myself, because of how i& #39;ve dealt with, or failed to deal with my own BPD. 14/16
But he& #39;s fortunate, in that he. gets a chance to change. he gets a chance to be a better person. he gets forgiven by Kouta, because at the end. all he needed was someone to wear him down, take his power, and just prove to him, that he wasn& #39;t just his lies. 15/16
Kouta and Mai both forgive him and he proves himself in the finale and if you hate it for that then I don& #39;t know what to say other than that frankly I think you might be Ableist toward people with BPD I& #39;m just gonna be blunt. Michy recovers, and he deserves that. we all do. 16/16
