"Hunters are psychotic" Ding ding ding ding YES! A lot of people lose sight of that. They're not all completely psycho, but you need to have a screw lose to relish putting your life on the line for the sake of an interesting challenge. And as Morell said: Gon goes crazy with the best of them!

Sexy =/= fanservice. People don't dislike that the Code Geass women are sexy, but that they are obviously and excessively objectified for the viewer's sexual gratification.

I haven't seen CG so if it's as bad as you say I can see why people would be annoyed by it. What about One Punch Man? I'd say that show has every lady drawn in a sexy way but I don't think it detracts from their characters.
I guess I just don't see a woman being sexy as a detraction from her character. Do you also consider it fan service when Escanor takes his shirt off to fight? Not to say that you should, or that there isn't way more male orientated fan service in anime.
What actually annoys me is when every female character falls in love with the main character and their personality revolves around loving the main character. I'll take a dozen upskirt shots and excessive boob jiggle over an awful story like that.

The issue is it belittles the female characters. It's not done anywhere close to equally in CG, with the men left unaccosted by it, whilst practically every female character has dedicated artists for the jiggle physics and have the "T&A" on display at every opportunity.
It's literally treating them as objects, which as a female viewer makes me and many many others feel utterly ick.
From a writing point of view though the show falls off massively after season 1 imo, and even then I think other series like Legend of the Galactic heroes do a much better job at truly exploring the themes CG tries to explore.

2024-04-30 22:12:33 +0000 UTC
I may feel a bit aggressive in this but this character means a lot to me so this is just me trying to make others realize what his character is behind all that madness (:.
Salvatore
2024-04-30 22:06:58 +0000 UTC
Did you by any chance ignore everything i said or you just did not understand it ? Shaiapouf following his own vision of what the king is is something very obvious but it does not stop at that, He is a man of duality and what you're doing( and clearly a lot of people here) is see one concept of this duality and ignore the other completely, you can see pouf being manipulative and ignoring the king's wishes which is a selfish act but the intentions behind this are good , he loves the king more than anything and he's doing this thinking it's the best root for the king to follow, again he does realize that his actions are treason and he does feel guilt he said it in episode 129 and have hated himself for going in a room where the king is not. you can look at it in a way that his duty is in one side and his love that's making him feel guilt is in the other side of this, So please can you please explain to me how can a sociopath ask for punishment after realizing everything he has done until now was a mistake that just took love out of the king's heart( he felt the king's exact feeling as if the emotions were forced upon his heart, therefore him realizing how greatly his king loved this woman and he never had a chance in this, in conclusion he asked for punishment 134
Salvatore
2024-04-30 22:01:25 +0000 UTC
You’ve got your opinions and they clearly are strongly held, but you’re not accepting any of the valid criticisms anyone has said in response to your persistent defences of the character. Honestly I’ve never seen someone have your particular takes on Pouf, it is genuinely interesting. It’s been pointed out that Poufs ‘love’ isn’t for Meruem the person, but his own selfish internalised ideal of what the King ‘should be’. Ironically, despite all his declarations of loyalty, his actions are the most disloyal of all the Guards. Directly disobeying the Kings wishes in order to protect his vision of “a new kingdom, for the King and me”, by trying to kill the one person he has shown affection towards and stop his growth. I really like Pouf, but I like him for what he is: the ultimate Manipulator (in both Nen category and personality). The disparity between what he claims is for the benefit of the King and what he actually does only becomes more clear as the arc comes to a close, so I don’t know how you’ll continue to argue this position, but I am looking forward to seeing it, with all due respect 😚
Darrach
2024-04-30 21:19:53 +0000 UTC
With all due respect, ignoring his biggest scenes where they clearly stand against the idea of him being a sociopath is stupidity to the fullest level. because again a sociopath wouldn't sacrifice themself just so their loved one would live a good life (this is what he thinks would happen)
Salvatore
2024-04-30 19:00:39 +0000 UTC
does a sociopath also admit and cry for the fact that their actions caused great harm to their loved one ? do they start having a mental break down that what they did was treason and they are a person less than insects and trash ?
Salvatore
2024-04-30 18:36:53 +0000 UTC
A sociopath can experience ‘love’, just not in the sense that other people do. It’s more of a feeling of obsession or infatuation with a person than a true emotional connection. They would use their ‘love’ as a means of manipulation or serving themselves. If that doesn’t describe Poufs feelings for Meruem, I don’t know what does. Sociopathy is a spectrum, and extreme emotional outbursts are a trait often associated with sociopathy. Poufs an amazing character, and also definitely sociopathic in nature.

that's why i said potentially, I can see her having a life without the king not completely tho, A life after his death were she sorta kinda maybe protects the weak in honor for the king's feelings ? and in the time she does that she starts developing her own thoughts since her situation didn't really give much opitons like youpi's, one had knuckle and the other had some enraged beast who's blinded by rage (understandable).

Netero said this episode that graciously accepting victory wasn't what brought him joy. The fight itself is what he loves.
He is the perfect balance of a man who lives for himself while not disregarding his role in society.
Shivering King Banana
2024-04-30 04:10:48 +0000 UTC
He's literally a sociopath/psychopath though (I'm senile, I can't remember which is which). Gon's conception of morality isn't something that he feels from a place of emotional empathy, they're just empty platitudes that he's absorbed from the people in his life. We're all extremely lucky that his formative experiences were with kindhearted people like Mito. This is the real reason why Gon can forgive heinous murderers or do other things that don't comport with someone who is as strongly moral as Gon appears. The MOMENT Gon finds something interesting, or personally compelling he's immediately willing to disregard safety or justice. Everyone praises Gon for his ability to stand up for what he believes but that's a misdiagnosis. He's only able to do that because he has lacks any genuine investment in most of the moral choices. He's larping.
Levi
2024-04-30 04:05:29 +0000 UTC
it really feels like pouf is the ultimate written character when even he himself would agree with people who just think he's a sociopath when a lot of his scenes is literally the opposite of that (110) (113) (128) (129) and whatever the fuck that whole episode was if you know what i mean.
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:55:58 +0000 UTC
and he hates himself for that more than anywatcher has ever hated him as a character would
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:44:39 +0000 UTC
and to be honest instead of writing this i should've just told you to watch his scene in 113 it literally counterparts everything you said, someone who doesn't care for meruem wouldn't cry rivers because he thought his own desires might have hurt the king, "you fail as a royal guard not because you didn't know his where abouts, it's because you did know and in spite of that you did not rush to his aid"
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:43:28 +0000 UTC
(this is spoilers for episodes ahead)
he was sad when youpi died even more than meruem.
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:28:54 +0000 UTC
"would pitou's change really help the king?" and guess what he is right, everything the guards did did not help them whatsoever but this sentence declares that he doesn't mind the change but the things that come in the sake of their change.
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:22:13 +0000 UTC
And i think that is a total wrong description, he wouldn't mind a single thing that the guards would feel or do if it wouldn't hurt the king, pouf does this because he thinks it's the best thing for THE KING not for pouf, from our perspective it is selfish but he's doing the act as of selflessness, he would die for this, in conclusion the way he changed and feared the guard's change not because of the change itself but because of the change's harm on the king. the twisted kind you talk about is true if you view it from your perspective he views this as an act to save a loved one from a fatal error and he knows it's wrong and has felt guilt for it but if it saves the king it doesn't matter even if he will be eliminated for his crime
Salvatore
2024-04-30 02:18:37 +0000 UTC
I don't think Pouf has shown concern for another living being once outside of The King to be honest. He belittles and plans to do away with his fellow Royal Gaurds at the slightest sign they may not be good for his own goals, and the ants he gives nen abilities to went away with him expecting them to be killed.
Even his care for The King is a twisted kind of caring, as his only concern is for his idealised version of who "The King" really is. He cares nothing for Meruem, only the all powerful Ant King that will subjugate the planet. Calling him a sociopath for that sort of zealousness is entirely appropriate
Kya Colosseum
2024-04-30 02:05:14 +0000 UTC
I think i mistook what the word meant but i still think him being called a sociopath still is wrong, not because it's a wrong term but it takes away from his writing a lot since he isn't just someone who doesn't give a fuck about others and everything i wrote before.
Salvatore
2024-04-30 01:52:23 +0000 UTC
A sociopath doesn't mean he's doing this for "nothing". It simply means he has absolutely 0 regards for the way other people feel, and only cares about his own desire, eg for the King to be an all powerful being that treats all other life with the contempt they deserve.
Personally think L&M's takes in the discussion were absolutely spot on
Kya Colosseum

Imagine your whole life is just about one thing with no alternative values and something you can't control ( the king's feelings ) is taking that away from you, that alone puts everything pouf has done or shown into perspective, he's afraid of the only purpose in his life to be slipped away.
Salvatore

lol the Amber’s think alike
Amber
2024-04-30 01:05:04 +0000 UTC
i really don't like the "he's a sociopath" talk, i get that he's trying to kill someone close to the king and he's trying to deny the king's feelings but while pitou and youpi's feelings can give them a life without the king in it, pouf has not shown anything in that regard, his life is the king's success and he sees nothing in life other than that, for pouf, while empathy and honor in Pitou and Youpi provide other chances to grasp value in life other than meruem's success. his very specific idealization gave him nothing to take value in other then the king, therefore kumogi's existence deprives him of his ONLY purpose, the only thing he cares about.

If the ultimate royal guard who has not been influenced is the one who only follows orders with no questions asked then pitou's influence is empathy for the king's feelings and youpi's influence made him spare people that are dangerous to the king wouldn't pouf's actions toward kumogi be his influence?
Salvatore
2024-04-30 00:31:23 +0000 UTC
i love how pouf is a butterfly which is often used as a symbol for change and metamorphosis, but out of all the royal guards, he is the most resistant to the change in others. i feel like that has to be intentional

Yes, and to add when the king was born his Mam said "it was still too early but he killed her."
which means that this is the king's weakness: he lacks "experience" , as he sees himself as the best ever, but if he waited to completely get ready to be born, he most probably would not have any weakness

Pouf is worried because the king is focusing on playing games and talking with a human, instead of using all his energy to be a strong king.
Meanwhile, there's a fight happening between Meruem and a man who used all his energy and time to chase "ultimate power."

Hunters are people who are very passionate about something, mostly fighting and power, but not always, that's why we have Gourmet Hunters, doctors, etc.
In the end, all the characters have something that motivates and excites them.
To relate to them you just need to replace the fights with something you love a lot and want to be the best at it, I practice martial arts and I love drawing so it's easy for me
