At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

Uhm, as far as I know, Uraume isn’t a child.
I keep seeing these weird posts on X about Sukuna and Uraume being parent and child. Why do people tend to sexualise everything? If it wasn’t at risk of becoming sexualised, it wouldn’t have become “father and child”, imho. It’s just bizarre.
Can’t love be love? Like, just pure innocent love?
Does it have to be attached to any set role? Master-servant; friend-friend; husband-wife; etc.
People can be so obsessed with sex, gender, age... when these characters cross over from being human to whatever Tengen was (more like a curse) - they don’t necessarily have any of those features any more. Age becomes a concept.
What really matters is what they were to each other and what they ended up realising they wanted.
Sukuna recognised his emotions and turned away from Mahito. He rejected the hate and fear that Mahito represented. He turned towards hope. With Uraume. Uraume was a symbol of, “I’m ready to open up to being attached to something/someone other than just a pure hedonistic sense of existence”.
I sometimes sense that so much relates to unresolved daddy / inadequate parental figure / attachment issues.
Do we as a fandom need some psychoanalysis?

i feel like some ppl aren’t gonna like when we get more of asa’s savior complex moments, i see ppl now say ‘i want her to have a goal that doesn’t involve denji’. don’t twist my words, i want that too but as of rn her behavior makes sense and tbh, this whole savior complex is self fulfillment in a way. asa had no one from the beginning and gets thrust into this world of devils bc of yoru, we see their dynamic is rocky but at times she does confide in yoru. she does not have yuko anymore, and when asa was at her lowest, she lost her will to live until denji showed up in the falling arc. we literally see her basically say ‘if a piece of crap like him gets to live so should i’.
anyways, she's not even attracted to denji because of this savior complex neither. she liked chainsawman and denji before fami planted the idea that he needed to be saved by her. so i don’t like ppl saying ‘oh she has this idealized version of denji in her head’ bc of this panel. when really this panel doesn’t support that opinion. if anything this panel show how she sees herself, and lets be fr as of rn she has seen denji’s worst moments.

OMG YES! infantilizing Gojo and assigning a caregiver-like role to Geto is just so annoying like can’t their relationship be normal? Can’t they just exist as best friends/lovers without you needing to put a trope that is far from canon? Im so tired of fanon stuff like did we read the same thing???
Yes, I love SatoSugu, but not when they're made so OOC. Making Gojo like a weakling who cries every time he's upset and making Geto like his babysitter. Watering them down to just OC versions of themselves.
Gojo can handle himself well! He doesn't need Geto ALL times to baby him.
I had to write this because I am tired of having rps about Stsg where I have to be Geto babying Gojo. 🙄
