the best part about posts like this is the metacontextual irony that people in our world found themselves attached and liking this character for her popularity and bewitching presence, much like charas in the manga AND when when the illusion breaks there's that visceral rejection

Disclaimer: I love Makima and believe she deserves genuine love, but people also need to recognize her actions as harmful and disconnected from humanity, that's all
We all deserve a hug
You can also find her sexy lol it's extremely normal, Fujimoto specifically said he wanted to illustrate her as looking a perfect beauty in every frame so if you're entranced that just means it's working as intended
I learned yesterday that they're endangered in their native habitat in Mexico due to encroachment, pollution, and invasive species πππ so captive breeding is good!! Also they are on the 50 banknote because of their cultural significance!!
@mudbuckling
That's the point of the character, even after everything she did, doesn't Denji admit much of the same?
Attachment isn't picky, real life abuse follows similar patterns of mental emotional dissonance when confronting abuse...
@DistantValhalla
I won't lie, if I owned this I'd put it in a steel case with laminated glass and just parade it around at cons, no way am I paying that much for it to sit in my home
my most Freudian take is that we've all experienced some sort of maternal/provider abuse in our lives and we all take it really fucking bad when we see it happen to another vulnerable child (Denji) to the point where we have pure hate of it, even if they were hurting too
@NotConvincing
It's more for those unaware of her outside the fandom or those that are very Denji-like in their ability to assess her relationship to them that this most applies to
@The_Alster
Tamarowa, please check all the tags before reading because it's nsfw and very trashy tbh
imagine an harem competition manga mixed with mystery whodunnit eliminations/sabotage, the MC turns into a big boobed naked Sherlock Holmes
@actualpaca
I think it's cuz they didn't realize what kind of villain she is at first? People who can't perceive grooming especially will initially read her acts toward Denji as a straightforward seductress leveraging sexuality
She is not a seductress, and her true methods are twisted lol
