>>284620>People like flawed protagonist for two reasons; 1. It's easier to see ourselves in them. 2. It's nice to see someone with so many issues make an effort to be better and change themselves.what? okay wait im actually not trying to be insulting when i say this i am actually shocked by how simple this is and that it speaks to the kind of media you watch. see i have never been into simple slice of life anime or dopey sitcoms, when i was a kid i got really into invader zim where nobody is blameless and everything is messy in a way that speaks to some level of realism that the messy real world has.
as an adult i love optimism of "trying for a better world" like in old star trek but that only works because the "bettering ourselves" end comes with the complexity of just how messy and complicated the real world can be and constructing narratives that simulate that as best you can to highlight the mess of misinformation, miscommunication, individual values, the fight for limited resources.
and when you get into the weeds of all that people are just trying their best most of the time not mustache twirling villains. abuse happens not because a person is TRYING to be EVIL but because of smaller reasons that pile up fast when life gets out of hand and then people can double down or do their best to get out of it and still fail. and that can make abusers victims and victims abusers at the same time, life is messy like that, i find that interesting.
i like complicated tv shows where nobody wins, nobody makes it out, but it was about the journey and what personalities clashed in it all.
i read a comment like yours and just think about my favorite star trek episode
star trek voyager season 5 episode 18, Course Oblivion -and think about the way that was written to sympathize with people who fail. fail in systems that dont support them like the person with an easy ride. fail because of clash of personalities that where not necessarily abusive even if extreme reactions came of it. how being wrong has its merits because you keep to your core principles even in failure and that counts for something.
its a fucking inspirational episode i think alot about and in times of stress and heartbreak i think about.
but yeah for the sake of giving a simple answer to this thinking here
>There is not a single excuse that can be given for her either, Sayia (as is shown in this page) is more than capable of determining right and wrong but STILL chooses to be a fuck up.i think its just as simple as kip has a stress kink.
kip likes stress as a emotion to play with sexually just like embarrassment is a huge emotion, just like how in bdsm its common to have a fear kink
the stress and anxiety needs to come from somewhere and having messy backstabbing irrational people makes for drama, and its maintained the kind of drama that feels true to the kid of stupid logic real people can have. its silly stress. its fake fetish bait stress. its fun drama because i dont care if saiya gets better i care about girls belching and getting fat.
also for having burping associate with stress, theres a tightness in the body that can often give that "sick feeling in the gut" and if youve experienced extreme levels of stress in your life you can have your stomach constrict so hard you puke or burp.
so then you have a kink like this forming from things like food scarcity associating being fat with safety and wealth- or all the anxious baggage of fatphobia and loss of health to twist the knife on the stress- anxiety of a stressful life that dosnt go as far into having a puke kink because theres unsafe baggage of acid gunk so to fear that threat and then only safely burping instead is a relief from the stomach pain and a finality to the rising stress of thinking your going to puke violently and it only being gas.
and then its just as simple as a easy visualization to someone who is sexually repressed in any way. "oh genitalia and sex is gross but i have all these emotions that need to go somewhere" the anxious repressive stress visualizes itself in the tummy and is the main connective tissue for alot of inflation fetish people. the slow buildup of bloat moving in rhythm to sexual tension and anxious need to overcome the repression of it all.
yeah i really just think kip has a stress kink so why would saiya ever "get better" thats never a need for a story this. its porn first.
