*incredibly broad statement.
For another brief example, someone impersonated Urana on Twitter to call a character named Tamsy trans. Urana didn’t appreciate being impersonated and commented on it, then made a follow up post like “they said Tamsy was trans but I don’t think so.”
Now everyone mad.
Minors. And well…. I think most of the truly insane fandom shit is on TikTok, if that tells you anything.
It’s uh, kind of a case of a manga being fairly progressive + having a female mangaka and forming very reactive polarized sides of parasocial supporters and insane bigoted haters as a result.
Gachiakuta has been home to a lot of “baby’s first fandom” moments of people not knowing how to interact with the mangaka or each other—which is why I prefer to just watch from the sidelines. I can go on with plenty more drama I’ve seen though (probably not even all that exists)
(I know you mentioned Japanese circles and I haven’t actually seen any Japanese discussion on this outside of Urana herself, but y’know. It’s fascinating
The fandom has been tearing itself to shreds a little.
Kei Urana tweet reading, “Hey, since yesterday, all I’ve done is post a GIF and nothing else. What are you so afraid of? Got something to feel guilty about??” with an attached Annoying Orange gif
Yapping on this just because I’ve been watching it go down in real time and it’s kinda crazy. Kei Urana is also incredibly online, so in between her “that is illegal” comment and an official long statement, she was posting trollface smiling gifs and shit like this
Twitter post by K Manga with the Gachiakuta panel of Zodyl saying “I see.” in response to Fuu betraying him and blabbing
Even official publishers have been riffing on it
Link to one of her actual posts on the topic cuz it’s really long

Twitter screenshot of someone quote retweeting Kei Urana asking, “Sensei, Is reading the Gachiakuta manga through the Gachiakuta Discord server an official way, even though it's free?” To which she responded, “That is illegal.”
Gachiakuta has also has had a fuckton of discussion going on. Some dumbass QRT’d the mangaka with this, was told it’s illegal, and now there’s a looooooooot going on. She’s even made English posts on the topic—and when a mangaka makes English posts that how you know you fucked up.
ok yall, we hear you. the carousel isn't popular!
we're putting it back in the oven and will plan to bring it back for posts with more than 4 photos or videos when we add support for that.
appreciate the feedback. we really want you to love this app.
A) Swiping to the left or right already does something else on this platform.
B) Typically people post images because they want them to be seen.
You can't tell how many or what images are in a post. Visually it occupies the same real estate, but gives the user less. That's bad design.
I think the reason this one gets me so bad is because the series has been going on so long. Grandpa is staying up to date with the trends and that’s especially scary
Or Gachiakuta where the groomer character has a panel referencing the “absolute cinema” pose. The psychic damage never ends.
The era of mangaka who are super online is really scary because what do you mean a Duema cover featuring the protagonist shooting himself in the head with a revolver is inspired by modern cat shitposts.
Skill issue.
Fluff pisses me off. In like a good way? Because of how sweet it is. It makes me very angry and cry a lot really easily. And want to eat a brick.
Screenshot of my heart rate graph from 1 to 3 am. It’s all relatively around 60-70 bpm, but suddenly spikes to 106 around 2:30 am.
Wearing my Apple Watch again is fun actually because you can see the moment I got sent a really cute and sweet fluff fanfic that pissed me off

this quoted post has multiple photos attached to it btw. not that you’d know otherwise outside of the tiniest margin missing! (feat @maxkriegervg.bsky.social )
new bsky image carousel is soooooo perfect app design with zero UX sensibilities or considerations. users universally hate carousels and we’ve known this for over fifteen years of web and app design. they only exist for ungrounded UI designers and their behance portfolio from the 2010s
I think my perspective drawings wouldn’t suck as bad if I actually used a ruler and writing utensils that were erasable, but instead I rawdog it with pen and get to suffer every single mistake
the models in the promo post did wonderfully. im being mindcontrolled by 🎀hood strings and extremely long comfy hoodie
excuse to post this clip again
4 point perspective pen drawing of some building-esque rectangles
JUST MADE SOME BULLSHIT‼️‼️‼️ (tried 4 point perspective for the first time)
It kinda sucks.
I hate Mikado Shirogane
Crying for reasons unrelated, go to scroll Bluesky to take my mind off it, see this fuckass frame almost instantly. Crying over now I’m pissed
I'm sure the half of the site you haven't blocked yet treats you at least a little seriously.
