Quick break before more packing shenanigans
So, I decided to be a masochist or something and went to see if there was a No.6 thread on /a/. I found one...about the kiss...that devolved fairly quickly. But then there was a poster who said the following:
"This is not about whether kissing a dude on the lips is okay in Europe or not. This is about how messed up Shion and Nezumi are socially, and what is taught as appropriate in No. 6.
Shion is socially retarded and oblivious to how relationships, even non-romantic ones, should work. No. 6 does not prepare its people well socially. Nezumi never engages in affectionate interactions away from his acting and Shion, it's against his personal beliefs that he was taught growing up. He's detached from normal reactions and treats it like he's acting with manipulative purpose.
Until one of them faps to another man intentionally there is no black or white in this, only your personal preference. You can have your interpretations but you cannot claim them to be official.
The word 'love' does not have to be romantic. You can love your close friends and family without being romantically or sexually involved. That said, it is my personal preference that Shion be asexual, capable of romantic feelings for either sex but not sexually attracted. I feel that Nezumi is the more misguided of the two, he's possessive in a way that I don't see as romantic and cannot understand himself."
WHAT. You mean there's a sane person on /a/?!
I liked the point this poster made a lot...of course, it meant the thread died because there was nothing else to fanwank about. I feel so bad that I hate 99% of this fandom.
