Jigen`s  “misogyny” explained

So… yes we’re all aware that Jigen has shit luck with women, and we are all aware of the “Play Bohz” screencap from Part One… as well as stuff from over the years (particularly part 5) poking fun at the fact that Lupin and Jigen are always together, calling them lovers (at least in the japanese sub translations).

Iv seen lupin fans confused on why Jigen is a self proclaimed misogynist even if he never really acts that way,  

I did a bit of research a found something pretty interesting. In Japan, there is this trope that the Japanese men who are very macho and performatively manly, are actually gay. You see this in Persona 4 with Kanji, historically with honorable Japanese samurai, and an important example in Japanese Kabuki, with a term called 女嫌い (onnagirai) or “women-hater”.

In Kabuki practice, onnagirai is a term used to identify mlm men. And if you recall, Lupin iii has a bountiful selection where Kabuki is featured, but I’m going to narrow in on part 2’s episode 56 “Kooky Kabuki part 2” (There are two Kooky Kabuki episodes, because they decided to split it into two parts. And make sure to watch the sub if you’re so inclined, because with most Japanese media, the dub changes the wording and the refence is lost.)

Onnagirai by itself doesn’t necessarily imply homosexual-especially when within a comedic anime-and it’s usage in the anime can be chalked up to Jigen’s unbelievably poor luck with women. But, in the context of a kabuki showing, it exclusively means that he is homosexual.

TLDR: Jigen: gay gay homosexual gay 

I love to see five of them sticking with each other. Scripture-fetching gang is a family!

Idk what au im cooking.. but Im cooking..

No, your oc isn't too cringe or a Mary sue. Yes, it's completely fine that it looks similar to your other ocs. Yes it's completely fine that it looks similar to a Canon character design. No it's not uncreative. No the design isn't shitty. No the backstory doesn't have to make perfect sense or be all figured out. Yes it can be self indulgent or unrealistic or overly sappy. No you don't draw your favorite character too much. Yes you can flip flop between developing whatever characters you want. No you don't have to keep the parts of your character that you don't like or that make you uncomfortable just for the sake of consistency, realism or whatever else
