No, everyone's been reading the same manga you have. Sometimes, the victims are also the perpetrators. Hooker is a good foil for our autistic girl. Ours is dysfunctional by chance, the other is by choice. Nobody chooses to be Autistic, but this lady definitely chose to be a hooker, among other things.
the same way someone chooses suicide. What you are saying is terribly naive.
Yeah. These are all choices people make. Sometimes your life is awful, and the only person to blame is in the mirror. That's why he doesn't feel bad for her: It's her own fault. And at this point, it's too late for her to turn things around. We feel bad for the autistic girl because she really has no control over her condition. In spite of that, she's doing her best to be better. The other one decided she belongs with the trash, and decided to lounge around in it for the rest of her life. Worse yet, she lashes out at the closest thing she has to a friend, along with her caretaker/boyfriend.
Clearly, you didn't understand the sarcasm of my comment. You have no idea what it is to deal with mental health so I guess the lack of empathy is expected... not that you require it in your life, but when you put a statement as a fact, "choices people make" when you don't understand what comes with mental health issues, just sounds naive, but I see its not malicious, just lack of understanding so I guess not much it can be done. I guess in the end it's your opinion.
These are all statements of fact. "Mental illness" isn't some excuse for you to go off the rails and do whatever without accountability. She chose to make herself miserable. Living life making excuses for the decisions people make is precisely the wrong way to handle the issue.
I mean the whole point of the story is how to deal with mental issues, so much as to the person as tonthe ones surrounding the person.
You've managed to write out a whole paragraph and say nothing. Either English isn't your first language, or all you have is "You don't have empathy". Nobody feels bad for people who make their own problems.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious that she has nymphomania, which is a mental condition that can get really dangerous. And that it was a point of the manga to show how people with mental illness can get hurt when not treated properly. But I forgot manga readers are not known for their reading comprehension
"Mental illness" is not a pass. If you're compelled to eat live babies because of your "mental illness", and you eat live babies, it's all on you. Everyone is clear she has nymphomania; what of it?
Imagine comparing something like that to a mental illness where the only one she could possibly hurt is herself. I already understood you're not really bright and just enjoy picking fights tho, so I'm just gonna ignore you
I notice you feign offense instead of pointing out that you don't think mental illness defends those actions.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Either you think it's her fault, or you don't. Either you think this "mental illness" strips them of their agency... or you don't.
I don't see it as a clear 100% guilty or 100% guilt free, more like a grey area. Takamine's a sex addict and making terrible life choices, but acting that way cause of a mental illness. She's not at fault for developing the condition, but is still somewhat accountable for her actions. I just don't think calling her a whore is fair considering she's doing it out of a mental condition rather than just for fun.
Someone who beats his wife because he's drunk is a wife beater. Someone who beats his wife because he likes it is a wife beater. Someone who beats his wife because the voices in his head tell him she's cheating on him is still a wife beater. Also, she's a literal whore, on top of also being a slut.
To be fair, while nobody chooses to have Autism you can definitely choose to not be a complete socially inept mentally ill broken beyond belief autist. I hate the idea and view normies have regarding disabilities of the mental-variety where it is "Oooh, he/she's autistic s/he can't heeeellllp it! You don't understand little Billy's autistic he couldn't NOT go apeshit and beat the teacher to near unconsciousness for taking his switch!!! You don't understand little Billy's autistic he doesn't understand boundaries and sexually harassed that girl because of his autism! Please understand he didn't mean to it was out of his control!" Like yeah, you can't choose what you're given but you can choose what you do and to infantilize Saito-san as this being who, because of her autism, had no control of her less than decent actions is just plain ignorant at best and condescending at worst. Crippling mento illnuses is a bitch, but goddamn it doesn't make you immune to choice and personal thought. Personally, I think Saito and Takamine are more similar than we think, they're both extremely broken, mentally ill women, who make horrible choices and do terrible things. The only difference is Saito mostly expresses her mental illness in destructive ways that are internal (involving self) while Takamine mostly expresses her mental illness in destructive ways that are external (involving others).
Are you really trying to play the shame game here? All because I compared a developmental disorder to a series of poor life choices? If you're not, I'm not sure what that rant was supposed to be.
No, I'm not shaming you I'm simply stating that equating to having autism as a complete inability to choice in one's action is incredibly ignorant.
