continued danganronpa thread
chiaki nanami
chiaki is a beloved character but something that's always bugged me is how it was once mentioned the creator wrote her to be the "ideal woman" which is A. fucking weird because shes supposed to be in hs B. reinforcing a weird misogynic ideal considering her
character is unargumentative, unflawed, fanservice-y/ditzy, and constantly made out to be the martyr/love interest for the protagonist for no reason. why does this standard exist for women we literally just exist n men decide we need to be a certain way or we are undesirable.
akane owari
besides standard danganronpa sexualization of high school girls, iirc akanes backstory involves her getting sexually harassed/groped by an old man and taking it as a positive thing for her career which is just like. disgusting. the kind of mindset it takes to write a
character that is totally fine working with someone who sexually assaulted her and continues to harass her is just unbelievable. this series gets away with so much fucking misogyny because they cover it up with sad backstories and its unacceptable
mahiru koizumi
man-hater trope before they had the balls to make tenko. constantly defers work onto "the boys" simply cus theyre big strong men and should be protecting them. gross how writers felt it necessary to uplift men more than they already do with their obvious misogyny
before we jump into the cesspit of problematic that is ndrv3 i have a very special interlude for the dr3 anime-exclusive characters and also ultra despair girls
juzo sakakura
(spoilers) if u thought bury your gays was bad with komaeda then oh boy do i have a character for you. juzo is explicitly confirmed mlm n they decide the best way to go about dealing with this is having the villain threaten to out him as blackmail to which he
succumbs. then he dies to save everyone without ever confronting the man he loves cuz gay ppl cant be happy /s anyone else tired of the gay people dying well guess what it doesnt stop there just wait
kotoko utsugi
tw sexual assault
-
-
sexually abused as a literal child (shes 11-12 here but happened earlier) which the game decided to show in a detailed cutscene and then have her sexually assault another teenage girl which escaping from btw was a fucking mini game😕
the entire game tried to delve into the trauma young children often dealt with in their society but often just trivialized or fetishized it like here. i also want to add jataro (another kid) who i believe could be a caricature of a nd person but feel free to correct me on that
uh oh ndrv3 time
kokichi ouma
might as well get this one out of the way but guess what. the main antagonist who orchestrates murders and conflicts is gaycoded (more explicit this time) (spoiler alert: he also dies). his promo art (right) was also criticized for featuring n*zi imagery
miu iruma
just honestly one of the worst parts of the game. her crude humor (to say the least) is so fucking uncomfortable and degrading. shes just all around fucking awful and if this is all they think of female agency (especially since she has "meek" side) then its even grosser
tenko chabashira
oh boy do i have a lot to say about tenko. not only is she a stereotypical man-hating lesbian who drools over women and is obsessive and predatory toward them, but her lesbianism isnt even something that i can take away from her character happily because its
seen as something to be fixed by the end of her optional events and in much romantic side content with the protagonist. her backstory is that her martial arts teacher taught her that men would "drain her spirit" and this is supposed to be the only reason why she isnt interested
in them. to me this reads as the writers saying that lesbians only *think* they dont like men and they will eventually get over their lesbianism (usually with the help of a man) which is a dangerous mindset and i dont need to tell you why. additionally, more than anyone previous,
tenko is obsessive over the girl she likes and constantly attempts to control her and fawns over her, so much so that i would often consider it harassment. the negative way this paints lesbians is awful and it saddens me just to think about. did i mention she dies? she dies btw
korekiyo shinguuji
incestuous weirdo who doesnt get ridiculed enough for it. he honestly just gets a slap on the wrist, his incestuous relationship with his sister is totally glossed over. he engages in noncon bdsm with shuichi in the love hotel event so another win for bi ppl /s
i should also add here that there are a couple love hotel events that are gaybaity and pretty much none of them represent gay relationships that well, and in the vein of incest tsumugis event is also really weird but its more or less treated as normal for some reason
like u can really REALLY tell that the creator of danganronpa is a proshi/pper LMAO
angie yonaga
this is specifically an english translation issue but angie's god being translated to refer to a polynesian god when there is abslutely no mention of it in the original text is not a good look when angie is as violent and cult-ish as she is
ndrv3 is in general really really weirdchamp in its writing, much moreso than the previous two main games, so i wont discuss every single character but many of them have upsetting implications if you look a bit more closely
i wanted to write this thread to help more people understand why a lot of people dont want ranboo to play danganronpa on stream. for the record i love a lot of the characters on this list i simply wanted to point out the bigotry inherent in danganronpa's writing and how it
manifests in the characters and their backstories/tropes/etc. again if you have any corrections or other concerns feel free to reply and ill get back to you!
spoilers, transphobia, lgbtphobia /
ty kip this is worth mentioning! https://twitter.com/kipcada/status/1386929050615226375
and thinking of it now i totally forgot to mention regarding komaeda how much the writing and the fandom stigmatizes his mental illness and paints him as someone unstable and "insane" which could lead to a potential connection between that and his gaycoding
im going to bed for real now but ill check this thread again in the morning :) thank you all for spreading this as much as u already have
wasnt aware of this but it doesnt surprise me At All the creator is so damn weird https://twitter.com/gamergirl8o/status/1386963036041355265
i shouldve clarified i did specifically mean did systems in the original tweet because thats what the game tries to establish her as, i just wanted to emphasize how touko is just not an accurate representation of did at all. thats my bad! https://twitter.com/aobojohsai/status/1386992735358492676
another thing about touko https://twitter.com/joossbox/status/1386934736426307585
pedophilia ment /
his name is haiji, i blocked him out of my memory but he says stuff to the effect of "i like them as young as possible" and we're just supposed to be ok with this https://twitter.com/end3rw4lker/status/1387016663485214720
ableism ment /
totally forgot about monaca https://twitter.com/elrapidz/status/1387020735248433153
i also cant find the reply where someone said it but its worth mentioning that its implied korekiyo was abused by his sister so i shouldnt have pushed all the blame onto him
sexual abuse grooming ment /
here (about koyekiyo), it was a dm!! still a questionable portrayal of a groomed person tbh
