Reader’s Question:
I heard that there has been criticism surrounding the image attached to Aiku-san’s graduation announcement. I don’t quite understand the meaning of this image, could you explain it to me?
Discussion Regarding the Anime Image
Recently, I’ve been curious about the image that has become a topic of discussion in relation to Aiku-san’s graduation announcement. I actually saw that
image myself and at first thought, “What is this?” However, understanding the background brought forth a range of emotions.
Understanding the Source Material and Its Impact
This image depicts a scene of an anime character committing suicide by hanging, and I was a bit surprised to hear the person who tweeted it say that it “expresses sadness.” Of course, I think expressing emotions is important, but I can’t help but feel there could have been a better way to do it. In my opinion, the idea of “graduation = absence = suicide by hanging” is indeed a direct expression, but it can leave a rather unpleasant impression on many people. Especially for those who love anime and manga, the attachment to the characters might make them feel even more strongly about this.
KURO-san’s Complex Position
Additionally, I’m intrigued by the background of KURO-san, who posted the image. It’s understandable that criticism is directed towards the image due to his past actions and statements. His complex position may be why the response is so amplified. I recall a time when I had a major disagreement with a friend, and we were both taken aback by our differing values. We eventually reconciled, but I still remember the confusion from that moment.
Final Thoughts
Through events like this, I’m reminded of the complexity of human emotions and expression. Especially in the age of social media, our words carry responsibility, and we must also consider the feelings of those on the receiving end. What do you all think? If you have similar experiences or opinions about expression, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
