Loved the reaction & discussion! The Word of the Day in the discussion was ‘meanwhile’ 😂 – honestly, accurate, because this was a very ‘meanwhile’ kind of episode. Loved Irie’s interactions in this episode: ruffling all the feathers, pulling out his Dominator at every opportunity, annoying Kunizuka, etcetc. Also, jump-scaring Tenma for no reason other than to be a bit of a troll! 😂 And cannot move past the episode without acknowledging Frederica appearing again! 🥰 (Disclaimer here: bear with me on this one and this isn’t coming up out of your previous discussions, just another thing that’s sadly been my experience in the fandom.) This ep actually contains something tangential which I’ve held back on since S1 – regarding the ‘compatibility’ ratings. Something that comes up often after Kunizuka’s backstory episode in S1 - is the idea that Kunizuka’s hue started clouding when she … “discovered” same-sex attraction or due to this “discovery.” And, oh boy, do I have a bug in my craw about it. For one, there is nothing to suggest that from Kunizuka’s point of view. For two, nothing to suggest Sibyl would care. For three, a multitude of things to confirm Sibyl’s desire for total control through ‘total happiness.’ For four (and understandable in terms of people not knowing), Urobuchi et al have discussed this in interviews + S1-2 profiling artbooks, etc – same-sex marriage is legal, no distinctions made. To quote a part of a Q&A which asked about this: “all families are the result of what the Sibyl System has deemed would be optimal happiness for them, no matter the form.” I don’t think when people posit that particular reasoning regarding Kunizuka it reaches the level of being offensive – but it definitely skirts the periphery for me. Because ‘of course’ that’s what did it. Because of course that’s where their mind goes in terms of a reason for a hue clouding. Not at all the very obvious and very deliberate narrative around unsanctioned and subversive art, questioning the status quo and rebelling against the system, etc, etc. Beyond that, it is just another indicator of casual erasure. And I largely blame media where the only queer stories are those where someone is struggling to accept themselves, where internalised homophobia is shown as the only and the most true experience. So I’m glad this little scene was included and I can use it as direct evidence in the text + it provided food for my Irie/Hinakawa ship. 😂 /endrant I’ve really enjoyed in recent discussions the extra focus on acknowledging the evolution of the world, how Sibyl operates and judges, changing approaches to people working on their hues. I love that this world is not static - I think narratives where the external world is largely the same but the characters within it move have their place, but I especially love a developing world like this. Looking forward to next week! 💙
