Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro
| As the title says. There seems to be some hate and controversy directed towards Nagatoro-san, and I've been wondering if the genders of the main characters were switched would the community react differently? Would the warriors of Twitter be on a crusade against Japan or would they worship the ground Nagatoro-kun walks on? What do you think? Bonus question: If the genders were switched would you be more or less interested in watching the anime? |
 |
| "My Senpai Is Annoying" will be airing this fall. Just wait and see. |
 |
| It'd be set on fire amongst Twitter. I could see them saying that it promotes the abuse of women and with the sexual jokes and situations added...they wouldn't take to it too kindly. If they decided to maje the guy tan as well, I think the hate would honestly be at a new level. |
| Don't stay in the bubble, the mind demands to learn |
| Not sure how much it would change.. I know that the shota community would come in full force LOL |
 |
| Twitter-drones don't even watch anime, the gender doesn't matter as long as they have something to tweet about. |
| Tired, always tired! |
| If the genders are switched the show is gonna get cancelled in a few days. Imagine how media will react to a guy sexually harassing a girl. Spoiler from the show: Imagine the nipple guessing scene but he did that to her. This show would have gotten an ass whooping if the genders were reversed there. |
Na, Hashiru No Suki Ka?  |
| The world will start spinning backwards than. |
 |
| Definitely more. Twitter’s dumbed-down-Frankfurt-school-knock-off philosophy is all about viewing things from the perspective of hierarchical social structures. So if the genders were swapped, it would be more controversial. Similarly if nagatoro was not just male, but also older it would be even more controversial. Add in nagatoro being rich and suddenly it’s not just bullying but patriarchal classism too. ....and naturally a big chunk of those same people would probably love it if executed right (female self-insert enough, the male nagatoro being very attractive, etc) because it would turn into a dominating guy playing hard to get while hiding his softer, vulnerable emotional side which truly cares for her which makes him obsess over her. Probably would end up as the romance of the century - 50 shades of gray meets pride and prejudice |

| It would be far more controversial and there's no denying that. I don't even wanna imagine the toxicity it'll generate |

I'm quite positive Futaba was quite vocal about her Tsunderish displeasure of his teasing. You literally have it in the title. Anyways, Servant X Service exists and Lucy DEFINETELY was annoyed with Hasebe's teasing. Of course, nothing was physical. That would be creepy. |

| twitter. that's it. |
Arcay said: No problem,dude,I laughed at your post originally,and thought it deserved a reply.Starhammer said: sry dude, wasn't sure how to write it again xDEsp the ones who don't know where the "d" key is on a keyboard,I mean,come on,you used it once in the same bloody word :) Just joking :) I'm german btw. And weirdly enough,I thought you were german as soon as I read it :) Ain't got a clue why? Kein Problem, Alter, ich habe ursprünglich über Ihren Beitrag gelacht und dachte, er hätte eine Antwort verdient. Und seltsamerweise dachte ich, du wärst Deutscher, sobald ich es gelesen habe :) Hast du keine Ahnung warum? Btw,I'm english,so if any of that is wrong,please feel free to give me abuse :D Ok,I think that last bit might not be entirely correct "Hast du keine Ahnung warum?",but i hope you get what I meant from the original in english above it. Sry Dude,was just trying to help a little,but it might have got a bit lost in translation ;) |

| I think it will be more controversial considering of how highly society values women. A lot of feminists will complain about it that's for sure. And regarding to the bonus question: it really depends because I also don't want to see a dude hitting his woman portrayed in a comedic way. If the premise was if the woman was actually romantically interested in the dude, for example something like Isaac and Miria from Baccano from start to finish then I would definitely be interested in it. Or if they actually cover topics like abusive relationships and female manipulation, and NOT romanticize it or portray it in a comedic way then I would be even more interested in it. But of course not a lot of men have the balls to write something about that. |

"Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate. Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of ‘interest’, ‘kinship’, ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘hate’. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction. This is the truth behind life." -Fang Yuan |

I mean, I was bullied back then, but I was bullied by boys, so... yeahh Can't wait getting bullied by some random ass bitch for no reason(which will propably happen someday ) xD You say that now but trust me that it will feel a whole lot worse if you end up liking her romantically. That's like the worst and weakest thing a man can feel in a relationship. |

That's like the worst and weakest thing a man can feel in a relationship. I'd be already happy, if I was able to be in love the first time in my life. Seriously, it's just way too difficult to be really attracted by someone. I'm 15, and wasn't ever in love yet, dunno how it even feels, so as long as I'm getting to experience love for someone, I'll be fine, even if that person hates me, I'll just have to deal with it then, main thing is, that I'll fall in love just for once. Like, I really, really wish to. Well, knock yourself out bro. But just remember what I said about how being submissive to a girl is the worst possible position a man can be in a relationship. |

Arcay said: I know,sorry bout that,couldn't resist trying it out though :)Starhammer said: Hahahah, uhm, I think maybe the way I express things is very german like xD.No problem,dude,I laughed at your post originally,and thought it deserved a reply. And weirdly enough,I thought you were german as soon as I read it :) Ain't got a clue why?

Sry Dude,was just trying to help a little,but it might have got a bit lost in translation ;) Also, you wanted me to shit on the text you wrote, sooooo... Most of it is fine, but yes, the last part sounds kinda strange. The sentence itself isn't actually incorrect, but it just doesn't fit to your sentence right before at all. And the first sentence is god damn hillarious, cause you start of with dude (Alter) and then instead of a simple you (deinen/du) you just wrote "ihnen" which is super formal xDDD. Man I love google translate, it's sooooo shit xDDD Maybe I guessed you were german as I spent 7 years over there at a couple of places in the army years ago.Loved the people but most of all loved the country,esp fairs,Schutzenfest and Beer,lots of Beer :D Oh,and Bratwurst,LOVE Bratwurst :) |

| Crunchy roll definitely wouldn't pick it up, I can tell you that. The blow back would be huge (comparatively). You only have to look at the responses to things like magus bride, aho girl and most ecchi anime to see people making mountains out of mole hills. For the record I don't like this anime and I wouldn't like it if the genders were swapped either. |
Mirai said: Considering how popular Diabolik Lovers is over in Japan I wouldn't be so sure. There definitely would be a market for it. Pretty sure Diabolic lover is one of the most controversial show out there. There are plenty of people who criticizes the show's blatant sexual harassment and justifiably so. OP: If the genders were reversed pretty sure it would be a shoujo and would generate just as much controversy. It's just that shounens get more exposition in the community compared to shoujos, because shounen is a much more popular genre/demographic in anime than shoujo in the anime industry. |
