i dunno if there’s a lookism fandom on tumblr but that one dude in charge of hostel 2.0? the awful human being??? olly wang (i had to look it up). yeah his backstory was sad, yeah his life sucked. i can sympathize with that

but i cannot take people literally saying like, aww poor dude, he just had a bunch of bad stuff happen to him,,,, so sadd,,, he deserved better :(((( 

like he was a kid, and the oppressive environment he grew up in etc was awful. no denying that. 

HOWEVER he did so much bad shit. he weaponized children, and sold them!!! stop saying poor babby :((((  that genuinely upsets me. i know it’s just fiction, but it makes me so mad. Just because he had a rough life doesn’t mean he’s a poor babbbeyyy uwu. It doesn’t justify all of the truly awful shit he did. 

i know this is really late and everything, and there might have been people who said this already, but i caught up after not reading it for a while and the top comments (that i just happened to see on webtoon when i read it) all said stuff like this and it upset me. I’m not attacking anyone, this is my opinion. 

It’s my opinion that it’s possible to feel bad for all the stuff that happened in his childhood without downplaying all the bad stuff he did. It’s a complex narrative, we can have complex feelings about it. I don’t think it should be simplified down to, he had no other choice bc his childhood was so bad :((

Like i said, this isn’t attacking anyone. I know my words were harsh (this is a rant post lol and i wanted to get this off my chest), but i genuinely don’t mean to offend anyone, or downplay anyone’s feelings on this. i’m pretty sure no one was justifying his actions when they said this stuff, but i do think it downplays the awful things he did and oversimplifies the situation. these just my feelings toward the situation, and like i said, i wanted to get them off my chest

I found a Pokemon book at Toys R Us and…

ONE PIECE 20TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

“Just stand by me!” (insp).

Some other things worth noting (not all about high school):

-They go to school around 240 days a year

-High schoolers can get home as late as 11 or 12 every night because of club activities and other like things

-in schools and hospitals, people change into indoor shoes 

-THEY DON’T HAVE SCHOOL BUSES

-People commute to school and work by bus, bicycle, train, or foot. 

-Around commuting time, the trains are so full you can’t even move around in them (making it easier to be molested)

-The main religion in Japan is Shintoism and Buddism so if you wanna write about religion do your research

-otaku is a degrading term in Japan like weeaboo is a degrading term BEING AN OTAKU IS NOT A GOOD THING, REPEAT, BEING AN OTAKU IS NOT A GOOD THING

I could go on and on but I have other matters to attend to and I can’t.

basic japanese high school schedule for you, fic writers

students attend class from monday thru saturday, with saturday being a half day. sundays are off

the high school day usually runs from 8:30am to 3pm, but many students stay after for after school clubs or attend cram school in the evening

the school year runs from april to march with a summer break come the end of july. first term is from april to july, second term is from september to december, and third term runs from january to march

your favorite high school anime doesn’t have separate classrooms for no reason. japanese students don’t rotate classes like american students do; instead, they have a fixed classroom and class number (i.e., 3-A), and the teachers do the rotating

they also don’t have the same classes every day

they do still have homeroom teachers; however, “homeroom” is more of a class meeting at the end of the day rather than at the beginning

the students are required to help clean the school at the end of the school day before clubs start

school uniforms are a thing for high schoolers. dress code used to be much stricter but recently they’ve allowed more basic alterations to the uniform

please stop writing them like american schools you’re embarrassing yourself
