bomber neglects one tiny detail: the massive number of other gay people who also play splatoon

What's your thoughts on Makoto rebuilding hope's peak? Do you think it's a good idea, or is it the perfect set up for another tragedy? The tragedy was put into motion since Junko knew that they had all the Ultimates there. She just had to do some.... hardcore manipulation and such.

Oh I have THOUGHTS about this alright, I’ve even talked about it before. I think it’s a very stupid decision to rebuild hopes peak but ENTIRELY in character. Junko is such a fascinating character to me because just as much as she’s an important figure in starting the tragedy, she’s also it’s scapegoat. Without the literal human experimentation on children hopes peak was doing she would have been so much less successful, potentially unable to even do the tragedy. The parade doesn’t exist without the abuse of the reserve course, the ultimate tragic event truly started with the reserve course RIOTING over the fact their money was used to fuel human experimentation on THEMSELVES. You don’t need Junko for that, Junko pushed the riot to an extreme yea, but she wouldn’t have a riot without Izuru. Junko threw a match on a pile of rags soaked in oil, but she didn’t make the pile, and if she didn’t start that blaze, someone else would have.

However if everyone points at Junko they don’t need to think about how she only succeeded because hopes peak enabled her, how hopes peak set up a society of cruel hard castes, and suffering that let someone like Junko thrive. It’s easy to blame a single human person for everything when in reality, the fall of the talent system was inevitable. Which makes it easy to repeat history if you are someone directly traumatized by Junko. Makoto is also a Hopes Peak Fanboy, he idolizes the academy because society tells him that the academy and talent system is good and just and perfect, it tells him that the institute is hope and all its war crimes is just a Few Bad Eggs. He’s simply recreating the caste system that he was raised to admire, buying into the propaganda that his childhood and future foundation pushes. Plus he’s inherently privileged by being an ultimate, he knows basically nothing about the plight of those actually crushed under hope peak’s boot. Which from the reserve course and comments from Toko in UDG about Komaru’s lack of talent, and attitudes like Komaeda’s, the plight of the untalented is a very real one.

It’s easy for him to be optimistic and think “well if one Bad person ruined the system that was always inherently Good then a Good person can put it back” but he’s wrong, you can’t fix hopes peak, you can’t fix the talent system, the desperation for talent broke the warriors of hope, it broke the reserves, and it broke the world. I think he means so so well I think he genuinely believes this will work, but in reality its doomed, eventually it’ll fall again. It’s the perfect example of how Makoto Naegi believes so hard he can change the world, but unlike with the remnants, this change will not be a good one. Plus he’s like what, 21? And trying to run a school? Good fucking luck sir you’ll need it.

Tldr; it’s really in character for him to do it because of the fact he was raised around it, thinks it’s to be a force of hope like he was taught his entire life, and is himself the privileged cast a talent system supports. I doubt someone like Hajime, someone burned by the system, would support it so easily. It’s a bad idea that’s only going to hurt people because Makoto accepts Junko as a scapegoat and fails to truly grasp the atrocities hopes peak did before Junko, thus dooming them to be repeated in the future, maybe not by him, but in the future, when another headmaster goes “hey what if we made a new ultimate hope” or “what if we push a young child’s talent to the limit” and starts this whole damn thing over again. It’s so very Makoto Naegi, and it will be his biggest mistake.

The Remnants having gaps in their memories yes, so do the survivors.

Infact the only one with intact memories is Komaru (and Sho but given the game they have gaps).

She is the only one who retains her memories of the past years.

And she's also had to witness both games as they were televised.

She's always overthinking her words and afraid she's going to accidentally trigger someone.

During her time in captivity, Komaru wrote a diary of both her daily life and everything she saw.

She's never been both greatful and disgusted before.

On countless occasions she's considered burning it because the information is too personal. It's not something she should even have nevermind witnessed, but she can't...

Komaru has had the Warriors of Hope, because they remember as well, promise that they won't bring up the games or anything that happened during the last few years.

When you see the Remnants, pretend its the first time you're meeting them.

They promise before hugging her because they can see their big sis is so afraid, and Komaru hugs them back.

They've all grown up, somewhere along the line she grew up too.

She refuses to forget what she saw.

Nor will she ever voice it.

Her big brother almost died... Multiple times, Komaru would fight every monobot on earth single-handedly if it meant keeping Makoto safe.

She can't protect him forever, she hasn't been able to protect him for a long time.

But this is all she can do.

Komaru bared witness to the worst event humanity has ever known, and she can't look away.

A day will come when they ask her, and she'll have to respond. She can't lie hide it from them forever.

But whenever she sees the smiles of the Remnants, when Toko and Makoto are at ease, she wishes she could.

Makoto's a war criminal is being an argument, and there's nothing I love more then being pedantic, so lets see what Geneva Conventions be argued as broken

For the sake of it I'm going to consider despair vs FF as something akin to a civil war, thus capturing the remnants would be prisoners of war

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.

Article 13 - Humane treatment of prisoners

Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.

Well those in the Neo World program DEFINITELY were seriously endangered. While you could argue the experimental treatment was done in the interest of the remnants, the fact it went so badly and was illegally administered against the will of Future Foundation definitely breaks this.

Article 22 - Places and conditions of internment

Prisoners of war may be interned only in premises located on land and affording every guarantee of hygiene and healthfulness. Except in particular cases which are justified by the interest of the prisoners themselves, they shall not be interned in penitentiaries. Prisoners of war interned in unhealthy areas, or where the climate is injurious for them, shall be removed as soon as possible to a more favourable climate.

Depending on how safe Jabberwock island is, Makoto may be in violation of this. As a cluster of small artificial islands all of which have been abandoned, how safe is it? Is it at risk of hurricane or giant tropical storms? What are the facilities there? If they're completely on their own can it really be stated they have every guarantee of Hygiene and Healthfulness?

Article 55 - Medical supervision

The fitness of prisoners of war for work shall be periodically verified by medical examinations at least once a month. The examinations shall have particular regard to the nature of the work which prisoners of war are required to do.

Sorry Makoto, Mikan doesn't count I'm pretty sure.

That's at least three war crimes and I'm sure you could find more if you looked harder then I did, but even with the most CHARITABLE reading possible, the Neo World Program is 100% against article 13, he's a war criminal

I think they should make a game where you explore the abandoned husk of Hope's Peak Academy and you're haunted by Class 78's ghosts. Maybe it's some team sent out to do the whole "rebuild the school that was the root of all these problems in the first place" thing that happened at the end of the anime for some stupid reason. I miss those kids and I think it would be fun if they became fucked up murderous spirits because of how much they were left by the wayside in the meta grand scheme of things and their in-world history was pulverized by just being reduced to a footnote to the "and Makoto Naegi saved the world because he just had so much hopey-hope-hope!" shit. Especially in the context of a renovation, papering over the bloody walls and sponging up the gore and pretending everything is as it was and always has been. It's compeeeeeelling and also I think you could have a lot of fun with it mechanically. I can see Taka as some red-light green-light sorta thing where you can only move when he's not looking at you. Chihiro makes tech around you glitch out or spark (to the point of potentially electrocuting you). Mondo oozes through a tight corridor as a terrible blob you have to run away from. Eerie singing echoes from the bathrooms. Please god think about it.

*Teleports behind you* Nothing personal, kids.

MASTERPOST (for the full series / FAQ / reference sheets)

Seeing that post you made just now actually reminded me of something. This post-SDR2 RP blog storyline. Which claimed to be about the whole cast healing, and would be even-handed to everyone. Yet the writer's biases against Nagito constantly crept in, as there were noticeable double standards in the way he was treated compared to the rest of the cast.

Like I realized something upon looking at it again. It's Nagito, and Nagito alone who has to actually face his victims from when he was an Ultimate Despair. He's the one who gets ragged in person on by cast members from UDG. The others meanwhile? They never actually have to meet someone they personally wronged. There are no survivors of Novoselic (which got completely genocided in their version of events) ever confronts Sonia for example.

This is actually the case in a lot of fan works. It is very easy to tell when the writer has a bias against Komaeda. Personally, a thing I noticed when reading is that it feels like they all tend to put the other remnants in a good light while he is just. Separated. Similarly to how the fandom treats him in general by acting like he is the worst of them all. There's always that subtle undertone that shows they only hold things against him, which, again, is often because of the rooted ableism in how the fandom portrays him.

Funny... Since his actions really are tame compared to the others, he never even directly hurt anyone, unlike them. It's weird how the fandom doesn't hold the characters accountable for actual murders in the first place, but can I just mention how Komaeda (including Hinata) was the only remnant who didn't do anything violent and messed up except cutting his arm off?

As for Komaeda being the only one to face the people that he wronged, I saw that people even tend to make the remnants forgive each other immediately (or easily) or don't write any tension between them, making them friends. It's very confusing since they don't have normal relationships even in sdr2 and because they always make them target Komaeda with all the negativity... And because they literally killed each other. They would all be aware of how messed up they are and have to learn to accept it... They don't even have a reason to call Komaeda fucked up anymore because they've done worse, or rather he's fucked up too. They don't have to like him (they would realistically only tolerate everyone except the ones closer to them in the first place anyway), but it'd be way different, and they wouldn't be hostile. The fact that Komaeda would be peaceful makes that even more believable.
