Dear parents,

Just because your child is smiling at their phone doesn’t mean they have boyfriend/girlfriend.Maybe they’re just looking at pictures of u1146.

Then let me explain how bullshit that is.

So, apparently, this whole hate on the series was started by a popular YouTube channel. I just want to get some things clear before shits blow up.

First of all, how? How the fuck could you ever expect it to be done in a blatant ‘oh he’s evil because he’s evil’ way? Cancer cells are being born as mistakes, they’re being born just to be murdered by cells that are supposed to protect them. So how could you expect that a cancer cell, when given emotions, aren’t going to feel that it’s being treated unfairly? To me, the story would be completely shallow and handled carelessly if there isn’t the tragic backstory. It is supposed to be dark, it is supposed to be tragic. It is supposed to make the viewers understand that no one can choose how they’re born. That’s reality.

Second, let me make it clear, people are sympathizing with the anime character, not the illness. Not the fucking illness. Nobody ever said it’s fine to let cancer cells live. If the anime promotes propaganda against the finding of the cure for cancer or some crap, then I understand that everyone should hate it. But no, it even did the opposite. It stated clearly that cancer cells need to be killed no matter what. So I don’t know what you’re complaining about.

Anyway, if this stops you from enjoying the show, then I’m sorry, and the door is always open for you to leave. You don’t have to hate on the anime and stop others from enjoying it.
