Thread 282005551

The author doesn't know her audience lol

Seems like she's handling them perfectly.

Because catering to the "he's autistic just like me crowd" is retarded since they're such a minority, and his obsessiveness and quirkyness can easily be explained by him being a loner and having strict parents and upbringing. And probably not being the brightest bulb in the shed. But his social skills are pretty much countering him being autistic completely.
You really have to wear youri goggles to think that their relationship is romantic instead of platonic. And honestly that's more or less any series where two girls are close. Like it's fine and all that you have your fetish, but you don't have to stick it up to the face of everyone.

Sad

Yurifags are scum

I have autism and that Laios dude straight up gave me autism vibes. There's no way she didn't intend for him to be autistic imo She probably doesn't want to claim to represent anything her manga. That lesbian stuff is weak tho

Shippers in general, man some even go as far as to make ships on just announced projects, and once the serie is out, get angry when the characters dont behave the way they headcannon them to do from what is probably just a basic character sheet when they were presenting the characters of the serie

The author can commit suicide by targeting the public's taste.

Yurifags do this shit constantly and it's fucking annoying.

>>282006228
>Author just wanted to make a quirky character for fun on a fantasy setting
>OMG he is autistic

Not everyone gives a shit about representation, sometimes they just make a character a little weird as a source of comic relief

more like the audience wants the work to be more than it is

>author is female
is ironically half the reason why "people" are glazing this mediocre series so hard. Far less of them gave a single shit if it were written by a man, like 95% of everything of relevance.

the author sounds based, fuck every single 'fanbase'

>>282006640

autistic female japs make the best mangaka. Jap """men""" are illiterate retards.

>>282005715
Yes, thank you. Authors ned to stop trying to appeal to the quirky and trendy audience.

>>282006228
I'm fairly certain this is bait but
>character TOTALLY has [highly stigmatized mental illness/developmental disorder/disability that fundamentally alters how his brain works]
no author would ever do this in a story that isn't centered around the protagonist's psychological state. You'll never see a character with autism or schizophrenia or anything like it in a casual story no matter what because it's a) a total landmine, b) unnecessary to the story, and most importantly, c) uninteresting if not outright repulsive to the average reader. The best you can hope for is woke western "representation" of an autistic child (because autistic adults are expected to either be normal or disappear off the face of the earth) or plausible deniability of a normal person you can headcanon about.
Interpret whatever you want, just be aware you're in the same headcanon bog fujos and yurifags are.

>>282006936
>autistic female japs make the best mangaka
That may even be so, however clearly not in this particular case given the overall quality of the work in question, meaning my point still stands.

I think schizotard mcs can get a pass depending on the type of story it is. Maybe harder now, though because i

Autism is pretty normal, dare I say

>>282006228
There's tons of times when he interacts with people totally normally.
He's only autistic in the modern watered down "I'm technically on the spectrum because I like trains" sense.

>>282007439
>There's tons of times when he interacts with people totally normally.
Most high functioning autistic individuals can easily blend into normal society
>>282007030
>no author would ever do this in a story that isn't centered around the protagonist's psychological state.
It's called characterization and social sensitivity (the latter being female mangaka are more likely to show, see Kimi to Uchuu wo Aruku Tame ni or 3-gatsu). Obviously she won't say he has autism in such a popular work.
>>282006462
Female mangaka often do and she incorporated the specific tics. Even if he isn't autistic and has to do more with external circumstances or etc, it's autistic behavior.
>>282006329
>this movie gives me boss baby vibes
I didn't know anyone called him autistic when I watched it. Just my first, fair, impartial impression

>>282005551 (OP)
the audience isn't worth knowing

>>282006446
They also proceed to shit up any other discussions that could be had about the series, Aquatope was probably the worst example of it I'd seen.
>Main characters have an explicit surrogate sister relationship that develops because one of them had a twin sister that died in the womb.
>Show isn't subtle about it at all and has the character outright state how they feel like sisters despite not being related.
>No real romance plot lines developed in the series since it's more about SOL aquarium work.
>90% of the threads on /a/ were still just shipperfags shit flinging over their yuri vs het ships instead of talking about the actual show itself.

>>282006228
That's called projection, bro.

>>282008128
It's not the same type of autism as mine so

>>282005705
Yep, deny it and they'll sperg out. Confirm it and they'll sperg out. Better to just "no comment" your way out.

>>282008189
Yeah, Laios doesn't call random people autistic.

>>282008267
No, he calls them normalfags.

>>282007427
People assigning it to characters that don't have it is quite common.

>>282008189
Lmao, don't play dumb. You mentioned being autistic because you think that gave you a bridge between you and Laios and that should be the be-all as to his mental state.

>>282005551 (OP)
Nah, she’s based. We need more mangaka like her and Rumiko “I don’t think about it and neither should you” Takahashi. Stan Lee called these autistic faggots out, too:

>>282008408
I can identify different types of autism. IDK why it's so important to you that he isn't autistic, to me he just feels like he was made to deliberately display autistic behavior. I don't have any dog in this fight, I don't mind it. The only recent dog I have is Geto and Gojo in JJK being in love with each other.

>>282005715
Precisely. She'd be alienating the nonautistic weirdos. It's better to let fandom have their fun.

>>282005551 (OP)
The audience is the author's bitch, they're the ones pining for crumbs from the author's table.
They'll come on their own, no need to keep them in mind.

>>282007030
>c) uninteresting if not outright repulsive to the average reader
people love obsessive characters who can't read social cues though
maybe you think the only type of autist is the drooling retard low functioning ones

>I don't care
>meanwhile (You) can't stop seething about it

>>282005715
>they're such a minority
They are the average consumer of shit dungeon meshi.

Does the mini after story for Setsuna add anything or is it just fluff? I read the after story for Kazusa Normal, but I prefer to leave things as is especially in a VN like WA2 where it ends on such a perfect note. (Kazusa True)

>>282008649
The author of Apothecary Diaries is also pretty based. She has no idea why people like Jinshi and only puts in romance because her sister wants her to.

>>282008865
>IDK why it's so important to you that he isn't autistic
Because it's abhorrent to see characters boiled down to whatever mental illness is trendy with blokes on xitter.

Laios is a normal if himboish with dad issues type of guy, the only reason why it seems like he autistically focuses in on the dungeon is because they are in a dungeon the whole time.
One of the funniest bits near the end was that his favorite food didn't even have anything to do with dungeons or monsters. This whole time, all his fanaticism, and his favorite food is some normal ass pie.

>>282005551 (OP)
I don't care about Delicious in Dungeon, but the author is mega based for BTFOing the ANN retards like this.

>>282009768
I see that. I find most autistic people to be annoying too as an autist. But to me Laios seems to capture the same behavior. He has the same specific tics. Even if the author genuinely says Laios isn't autistic, there is viable room for you to interpret so.

>>282005715
We've let the deranged shippers fester for too long, they've become mainstream. No one reminds them that people can be friends without wanting to fuck anymore.

Why is it always something mediocre always gets such an insane audience? Frieren by numbers should have even more schizos but it doesn't

Both these series are boring but dungeon food manga has funny characters

She plays autistic western crpgs with either shitty translations or a wiki on the side because she doesn't know English, she has as much autism as any of us, she just doesn't care.
