always wondered this but is there a specific reason all the operators are all women or it's just a thing?
I was rewatching the show and noticed
this was also talked about in tumblr and it could mean nothing at all, but asahihara’s unconscious patriarchal ideas. women are more often than not portrayed as a secretary in stories, it wouldn’t have been too far off or nonsensical to say that idea to stuck with him.
very true. that was my first guess but wanted to clarify whether there was a specific reason I forgot about or not. thanks for the reply!
I don't think there is a specific reason, and I don't think it's patriarchal, it just so happens to be so far.
But if you want a logical reason, in reseaech studies, women are typically much more task oriented an organized than men. They're also better at object placement memory. Not to say men can't do it either, but it's hypothesized that it's an evolutionary bias.
You can follow on the WT wiki for more clarification on it.
This is base of my memory but I’m pretty sure there a QNA section on that.
Ashihara say there are male operators in the verse but they aren’t really on duty. And why there a lack of male operators, in the WT world, operators and engineers path are usually recommended to those who can’t join/continue as a border combatant, and it just more male would perfer to go into engineering rather head to the operator school. And most if not all Operators we seen, they are pretty much top of the line when it comes to their operator skills. I didn’t see any patriarchy smell as it just really show how talented these female operators are in the universe
Good to know (▰˘◡˘▰)
saw the meltdown on twitter and this was it?
no they're not going to cheat on each other or break up lmao why would the author even do that.
started this because of the anime and woah the witches are kind of dumb with how black and white they are about things. an organisation like the brimmed hats were bound to happen like wdym witches can't learn medicine? why're you forbidding magic?? I thought it was going to be the stereotypical stuff like death magic or blood magic, but transformation magic too?? like omg you guys don't know how to have fun.
I actually thought about that
I'm literally getting too emotional I had to take a break from this manga after reading chapter 57 so rigid and FOR WHAT
to be honest, i feel like the rigid rules are pretty realistic e.g. legislation on drugs in a lot of countries absolutely forbid it meaning it’s sold with less regulation and control meaning more ppl abuse it and get addicted. if drugs/magic was normalised but had good legislation and was regulated, people wouldn’t be doing crazy evil stuff w it….. i feel like it’s pretty realistic that something so powerful is banned because they aren’t sure how its effects can be controlled… another example is nuclear energy, even though it has immense positive effects, it also has the risk of a lot of destruction.
government organisations are always more likely to go with a less riskier cost efficient option - i guess in this case, because magic is so easily accessible and dangerous, they’ve decided to ban the very thought of it
that's pretty much what I'm arguing. like you said about drugs in countries with stricter rules being sold with less regulation and it being abused. a lot of their reasoning doesn't seem well thought out at all regardless of how realistic it is, like how that one faction of witches claimed to be healers but were instead researching resurrection and immortality. like how on earth did they come to the conclusion that witches shouldn't learn medicine at all because of that?
yeah completely agree ;-; it’s even more baffling that such extreme rules also happen in real life when it is so clearly detrimental in preventing crime and harm. magic would be so much less dangerous if it was regulated and people were more educated on it - coco wouldn’t have lost her mum if she knew what those spells were :(
but alas that’s exactly the critique that shirahama is making which makes the story extra cool heheh
rightttt that's the thing! it's such a good story but it's acc upsetting me at the same time the whole garuga situation was so painful to read.
Same sentiments
tbh I really do love the story but yea there are moments that kinda bother me like you're telling me that y'all been erasing memories just cus they used forbbiden magic or something else............but WHAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT WERE ACTUALLY INOCCENT like COCO!!!
also you're also telling me that ITS FORBIDDEN FOR WITCHES TO RESTORE THEIR LOST MEMORIES!?!?!? and you basically send them a fucking ass island... like this psycho ass royal guard started erasing witches memories while shit was going down!!!!!!! do you wanna rethink about restoring memories
this is why im in love with qifrey cus he saw that coco wasnt trying to hurt anyone after she had used forbbiden magic and was only just trying to learn magic.Im glad that he didnt erase her memory cus bro's a single dad trying to raise his kids ╮(￣▽￣)╭
on a scale of 1 - 10, how peak is this honestly? I'm looking for something to read and the art looks lovely
Like 8! Pretty worth the read honestly.. However its not finished yet so u might be left hanging （￣へ￣）
7.5-8 I’m enjoying it and the fl isn’t stupid. Even the reckless decisions she makes is done with a plan
plot aside, that dress looks so out of place in the setting omg
ive given up on historical accuracy in otome isekai fashion (︶︿︶)
Theres no historical accuracy when theres no specific historical timeline followed. But really will take this a hundred times over than basic uss ugly frills, plain cringe dresses
Yeah but at least it looks good, did you see how they dressed Leo? The author can make pretty dresses, Leo always had good outfits, so why is she wearing such horrible clothes now?
cant relate with this take, i rlly like old frill dresses ahah they're so whimsy ( expensive
I think the artist is confused how to balance it without overly maturing/ sexualizing leo. Her younger clothes were cute but now that shes a teen ager, theres not much good references. Teenagers now dressed so maturely that its hard to guess their age. Heck most historical manhwas where they have preteen dress so maturely. (Im assuming this is leo’s 2000s phase)
