What if you can't accept your favorite anime character being drawn in a smutty picture by a smut artist? By Anonymous | Published on December 28, 2024

In "Your Lie in April," the female protagonist had a secret crush on the male protagonist for ten years, but the male protagonist didn't know until the end. During the last period of his life, he used a lie to get close to her and help the male protagonist get out of the shadow of his mother. After that, the female protagonist's condition worsened, and there was almost no hope of survival. With the encouragement of the male protagonist, the female protagonist underwent a very risky surgery and began rehabilitation training. In the end, she still couldn't escape from the clutches of the disease.

After her death, her parents gave her the things she cared about most during her lifetime—her first and only photo with the male protagonist and a letter. I've liked this series for 7 years, and the female protagonist is my dream girl. Last night, I wanted to read some sweet fanfiction, but instead I found a messy fanbook with the female protagonist and other female characters. It made me sick (I also like those female characters, they're very charismatic). Isn't it sickening to make money off the dead?

Hello!

I've been there too.

I feel lost when the character I like is adapted.

One answer has already given some ideas. I'll add a few more to help.

1. Understand your emotions.

You said, "I've liked this drama for seven years, and the heroine is my dream lover." She's already a part of our lives.

She may have placed a lot of our wishes in her and accompanied herself.

This feeling is deep.

For example:

Many people, including me, like Leslie Cheung.

You can still remember the good things he brought.

I think it's the same for you and this heroine.

We don't want to see the heroine and other female characters being messed up in the book.

Comfort yourself.

Understand yourself.

You won't change your feelings for the heroine just because others are unhappy.

If we like and believe in our dream lover, it won't be destroyed.

We know who we are, even if others misunderstand or slander us.

2. Know what you believe and think.

You say it's wrong to make money off the dead. I understand.

We need to see our own beliefs.

Have you heard of should thinking?

There are two kinds of should thinking:

There are two kinds of should thinking: about the world and others, and about oneself.

For example, we may think other people shouldn't do this.

Some people do wrong things for traffic or profit.

We feel bad when things don't go as planned.

We can't fight it. People always do things we think they shouldn't.

We have to learn to see what we want and need.

There are ways to deal with it.

We can fight back and point out that these practices are disgusting.

But we may not be able to change anything.

We can ignore it or try not to see it.

Discomfort is an opportunity to grow.

These feelings show us that society and people are complex and different.

Reality isn't always what we want it to be.

We don't have to think of society as bad.

Everyone has different needs.

If we change our thinking, we may get a different response.

You can also help yourself identify.

At first, many people used eye-catching topics to make article titles, but the content was empty. In the short term, it may have brought traffic, but in the long run, they lost readers because of this.

You say you can't accept your favorite anime character being drawn in a smutty way. But there may be others who feel the same way.

It may not help him in the long run.

Dear questioner, You will have new thoughts and see more.

You will learn to comfort yourself. This is how you grow up.

Just share them.

Read Social Psychology if you want to know more.

Best wishes!

Hello! I just wanted to give you a 360-degree hug.

Reading your question, I was reminded of a conversation I had with my child yesterday.

The girl said that some of her classmates at school didn't like her braids.

I asked, "Then what did you say?"

The girl said, "I didn't say anything and just walked away."

The little girl actually likes it when I braid her hair. She never told me before that some classmates didn't like her braids and had even told her directly.

Yesterday, she told me that her aunt doesn't like her braids and told her not to wear them anymore. She asked, "Why doesn't my aunt like my braids?"

I asked her, "Do you like your braids?"

The little girl said, "I like it, I like my braids."

I told her, "As long as you like your braids, it doesn't matter if other people like them or not. Even if your mother doesn't like them, as long as you like them, it's not your concern. It's their business if they don't like them."

She mentioned that she has a classmate at school who she doesn't like, and she just ignores it. I showed her what to do in this situation: either ignore it or just fight back.

Of course, she mostly ignored it. It takes a certain skill to argue back.

There are three main categories in this world: our own affairs, other people's affairs, and the affairs of heaven.

The best way to handle these situations is to focus on your own business, avoid getting involved in other people's issues, and accept what you can't control.

Why do we do this? Because we're the only ones we can control.

We can't expect other people to do things to make us happy. And we don't want them to interfere in our business.

As for things that are out of our control, most of us have to accept that we can't change them.

The sky will rain, and the mother will want a family. We can't stop the rain or the mother from getting married.

We can only change our own perceptions, emotions, and behaviors.

Given all that, I really feel for what you've been through. But you might not have the option of asking people not to create as they please, even if it seems like they're damaging these characters and profiting from the deceased.

Yes, you have no right to demand that others do things your way.

Because these actions of other people make you feel negative emotions like disgust, you need to deal with this negative emotion.

It seems like this kind of negative emotion needs to be accepted first.

Then you can decide what you want to do. For example, you can give them a piece of your mind, leave them a bad review, or write your own fan fiction. If any of these things make you feel better, then go ahead and do it.

It's similar to how many online novels are being adapted into films and TV shows these days. These adaptations have to take the views of the original fans into account, but it's still impossible to satisfy every fan of the original work.

After all, it's tough to please everyone, and we all have our own ideas.

There's no other way to handle it. Of course, if you're in a position to do so, like Jack Ma, who's into Chinese kung fu and has made a movie about it, you're in a strong position to make changes.

It really is that simple.

If you lack the strength to change things, it may be best to accept them as they are and move on.

You might also want to speak to a counselor.

I'm a psychological counselor who often feels down but also has moments of optimism. I love the world and I love you.

Hello, I am Qu Huidong, a psychological counselor who speaks in images.

After reading the question, I researched the drama that the questioner has liked for seven years. It's extremely popular!

It's clear from the questioner's overview of this drama that they're fond of the heroine. I want to know what about her has touched you.

You say the female characters in the drama are charismatic. So, what is the charisma of the female protagonist you like more composed of?

I'm bringing these issues up to help you understand the impact the heroine has had on you. I believe this is what the author wants to convey to the audience.

You are convinced that she is the personification of your dream lover, and you are outraged by the malicious adaptations and smearing of the female protagonist.

This is exactly how I feel when someone in real life who has passed away is being slandered by others.

When rumors are flying around, the deceased has already rested in peace, and the one who silently guards the "sweetheart" is the one who is suffering the most.

In the era of self-media, there's no way to silence others. You have to bear your own pain. Change your perspective. It'll make you feel better.

Fan fiction is called that because it uses the names and images of characters from the original work to create new stories. It takes advantage of the popularity of the original work and is not an adaptation. Just like people with the same name in real life, this Zhang San is not the same person as the Zhang San you like.

I want to be clear that even if you read same-sex fanfiction, it is not the stories of the heroines you like.

You have to accept that the author of the fan fiction is not the woman you like, whether you like it or hate it.

The ending of the play, where the heroine dies, may make you reluctant to let go. But from your description, it's clear that the last moments of her life were wonderful. She said what she wanted to say and did what she wanted to do, and she had no regrets. She also left regrets for the people who liked her and who she liked.

If you really like it, you can also continue to create with your understanding of the heroine, sublimating anger and disgust, and continuing your feelings for her in words.

Best wishes!

Ricardo Anderson Learning is a journey that challenges us to become better versions of ourselves.

This story has always been a tearjerker for me. It's so heartbreaking that she had feelings for him for so long, and he only found out at the end. Her strength in facing her illness with his support shows how powerful love can be, even if it's not returned in the same way initially.

Dillon Davis Life is a stream of consciousness, follow it.

The male protagonist's effort to connect with her through a lie to help both of them heal is such a bittersweet part of the story. It's amazing how sometimes lies can lead to genuine connections. I feel like this shows that intentions matter more than the means sometimes.

Melanie York Success is the realization that failure is a part of the journey, not the end of it.

It's incredibly sad that despite everything they went through together, including that risky surgery and rehabilitation, she couldn't overcome her disease. Her passing left such a profound impact on everyone who watched the series. The fact that her parents honored her memory with those keepsakes is touching.

Cassia Jackson Growth is a journey of learning to make choices that align with our growth goals.

I understand your frustration with finding that fanbook. It's disappointing when someone profits from the emotional investment fans have in characters, especially when it distorts the original narrative we've come to love. It feels like a betrayal of what made the story special to us.

Molly Anderson To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will.

When you're looking for sweet fanfiction and instead find something that doesn't align with your appreciation of the characters, it can be really upsetting. I share your sentiment; it's important to respect the integrity of the characters and the stories that mean so much to people.
