| Knowing twitter, I'm surprised it's only just started now, but it looks like a certain number of people are pretty salty about this show. They think the anime is problematic, as by portraying the social "conflict" caused by Tomo not conforming to the stereotypes of girls her age, the show does not address her "potential" transsexuality in any way, nor does it attempt to establish Tomo as the girl boss of the girls and boys around her. The idea that Tomo is just an ordinary girl who wants to have an idealized female experience but can't because of her tomboy-ish personality seems bigoted to them. What do you think about it? Do you also think that such stories are problematic in any form? |

| trust me, listening to Twitter takes will get u nowhere it's the kind of place where mfs would say demon slayer is the best anime of all time and nothing comes close to it, and have like a ton of likes |

| what's funny is that this show has a pretty positive theme about being yourself and not forcing yourself to conform to gender stereotypes. what's also great about it is that it doesn't force the message down your throat, but rather allows it to naturally exist in the show. I also find it funny when people try to force sexual identities onto characters. she is clearly established as a straight female character. her "tomboyishness" has nothing to do with her sexuality. by trying to force a sexuality/gender onto someone based on their personality, you are utilizing the very stereotypes that you despise. |
 |
| It's funny because the baseline for potential transsexuality comes from stereotypes as well. What are these girlish and boyish norms anyway? Who cares. On the contrary, I think the anime was good to point out that she can act in any way that is comfortable to her but still be a girl. Because that is was an actual diversity is about. There's no need to conform to anything, she can have her own personality without sticking it with labels on gender identity. |

| You made a basic mistake of thinking Twitterians are reasonable people. |

Second, this is what church did to us, forcing us to believe only in 2 genders to increase world's population. So... There's enough people now, we can go back to how we used to be, no gender stereotypes, no sexualities, everyone just being themselves and loving whoever they want. That's all. Goodnight. BRUHHHH.Person’s genitalia is the only thing that determines sex/gender 💀… Sex and gender are two different things, and genitalia certainly has nothing to do with personality, which was what the person you quoted said. |

| These people definitely didn't watch the entire anime lmao |
| Isn't the moral at the end of the show tho that Tomo is perfect just the way she is and doesn't need to try and conform to traditional standards of femininity? |
-insert NGE meme here- |

Nah I don’t buy it.It is stupid to socially construct characteristics of male and female.Sex would be enough or add gender as it’s synonym. I don't think you know what these words mean. |
| Tomboy characters are perfectly fine in media. Not every person who somehow likes something outside their target demographic is a different gender for it. |

| Twitter has always been a PROBLEMATIC platform where most toxicity of toxicity arises. It's not made for them and they're not entitled to order someone to do their bidding, are they a dictator of a king where they can trample others just as they want? Why complain when they can just ignore it, they probably do it to some stories but potentially ruining the whole point of the story to suit their needs? Blasphemous. That's my take on it. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Twitter and places like reddit are a cesspool of opinions and nonsense. I hope people realize it soon so they stop taking what is said there seriously. |
