I'm gonna be thinking about this all day

If you deadname someone in the death note it kills you

In one of the Death Note live action movies (I think it was Light Up the New World), a man changes his name after harboring guilt about past crimes and trying to atone (not even answering to that name). He's only killed after his new name gets put in the book, since he shed his old name.

Man wasn't trans, but if the logic applied to him, logic should apply to trans people too!

This rule implies that birth names are not necessarily the names given to you at birth.

That means you can change your name or consider yourself to have a new name and the death note recognizes it.

Death Note is an ally.

Diversity win! this Death Note kills trans people but doesn’t deadname them!

I had to look this up to double check, but there is a rule that if the owner accidentally misspelled a person's name 4 times, that person is immune to the Death Note, but if the owner purposefully misspelled a person's name 4 tines, the owner will die.

So, theoretically, if the owner knew a trans person's deadname and knew their real name, but decided to be transphobic and wrote their deadname instead of their real name 4 times, then the owner would die.

do you think their menstrual cycles are synced up

THEY DONT HAVE MENSTRUAL CYCLES MY GOD! THEY ARE MEN. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PENISES. Can’t I just enjoy Death Note posts without shit like THIS?!

do you think they use tampons or pads

STOP IT. They dont’t use either.

They don’t have their own, they share one penis. it’s like you didn’t even read the manga 😬

WHOM THE FUCK DID THIS

I thought the babadook was an anime thing until like two weeks ago, I didn’t realize it was from like a recent movie I thought it was from like a mid-2000s anime

this guy on the right, that’s what I thought the babadook was, I don’t know what anime this is but when people reference the babadook that’s who I thought they were talking about

If you didn’t know what to search for then how did you find this picture?

I searched for “grinning anime demon” and scrolled for like a billion years until I found a drawing some kid did of this guy and then I did a Search By Image which told me his name, which I then searched again to find the image on this post. Are you happy you “exposed” how much energy went into my finding a picture of the guy I thought was the babadook? Has this in some way enriched your life?

that about sums up all 12 volumes

i just thought i’d leave this tweet here

The White Death Note thing on netflix has me so worried

I mean. You realize you’re literally making a movie about a white boy “cleansing” american prisons right. You realize what the american prison system is right. You do realize your country already has enough problems with “lonely” white boys who think they can get away with murder without punishment for being white right.

You can’t grab a story like that and completely change the context without it turning into a huge fucking mess

Its downright ugly. There are nuances within the story that simply CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be whitewashed. Then to have a white boy play judge, jury and executioner at his own whim is a dangerous image to see glorified, no matter how the story ends.

To all those rolling their eyes or throwing up their hands about people blowing things out of proportion, educate yourselves. Making an westernised, whitewashed version of Death Note doesn’t happen in some magical utopia, its not without reason that people are troubled. Some random white boy with the power to thin out the American prison population is disgusting.

There are no tropes being cleverly subverted here. This is saying 1) we think Japanese people are such non-entitites we’re going to erase them from their own narratives 2) Set it in america because to hell with Japan and its culture relevance to the overall story 3) Non-white characters arent relatable, everyone can relate to a “lone-wolf” white boy who kill indiscriminately 4) Everyone hates prisoners, we’ll just have random white dude excute who he see fit 5) fuck the moral ramifications of a white boy lording power over a American slave institution consisting mainly black/brown people who he can kill at will

Nothing happens in a vacuum. Creators don’t get to babble about staying close to source material while whitewashing. Ignoring how significant the origin culture is in the source material. Then ploping in into another country so rooted in racism without even looking at the how that impacts the story. Nope, its irresponsible. Look if i wanted to see white boys get away with murder, I’d just watch the news.

Personally i hope this dies a death like Iron Fist.

#and they change his name to light fucking turner#but keep the nickname ‘kira’ which is literally killer pronounced like the japanese say it#on top of that the director’s bragging about how ADULT and VIOLENT and SEXUAL this movie will be#like does he not realize the story already has very mature themes and is violent without being gratuitous???#misa goes from being a japanese idol to an american cheerleader because those are CLEARLY the same thing#just no fucking respect for the original works at all#death note

This trend of America whitewashing Japenese film and television needs to be stopped.

Nobody 👏 wants 👏 to see 👏Asian roles 👏 given 👏 to 👏 white people

Death Note, Netflix (2017)

So I really hope that Hollywood is listening and realizing that we aren’t the timid Asian-Americans anymore. That we do speak up now. That we do have a voice.  | #IAm Ming-Na Wen
