And yet if Ashi somehow turned out to be his daughter tumblr would be praising the show and slapping their erections all over the keyboard.
 
Jeez - These "fans" would justify Ashi being in a relationship with her sisters or god forbid her abusive mother.

But Jack - Oh fuck no
 
That one tweet calling Samurai Jack a "gay asexual man" isn't autistic. It's just downright fucking dumb lol, like seriously do people actually pay attention when they just HAVE to give imaginary characters over 1000 labels?
 
it's almost as though they never saw that sym bionic titan episode with the twerking.....................

as much as i love samurai jack, are you really all that shocked it's bringing out the autism in people?
 
This is totally the armchair psychologist in me but maybe, just fucking maybe, there's a deeper meaning between Jack and Ashi outside if it just being heterosexual.
Jack spent the entirety of his youth in training. All of it. He went through rigorous training to fight Aku and what happened? He was flung into a future he knew nothing about and every scrape of what used to be his home (Which Aku had already ruined in the first plan when he first took over) was now so scattered they basically didn't exist. Jack was a stranger in a world where everything was over his head. He didn't get to grow up, meet a girl, fall in love, live a normal life; he was given a magical fucking sword and told to kill the monster.
Ashi was raised in a similar world except instead of positive reinforcement she was put through hell. Beaten, bruised and pushed onto ideals that Jack was the one to blame for everything she was driven by self-preservation; she was so scared of being in pain that she let rage blind her to it. She's currently at the age where Jack was thrown into the future but unlike him she grew up in this world and was molded differently by it.
The two share one thing in common, and it's the oldest trope there is; love. Jack was whisked away from his family and raised to be a fighter. So was Ashi. Neither of them came from an environment where you could consider love to be anything more than a pipe dream. Sure, Jack has compassion but he's driven by one singular goal in life and he literally has nothing outside of it. What would Jack do when Aku dies? (Spoiler: probably gonna cease to exist.) This whole forced romance thing people are freaking out about? This is just a last chance to appreciate who they are and to experience the one emotion neither of them every truly felt.
 
This is totally going to mess up my ship with Samurai Jack and Aku, I even had a script prepared for it, here's what i have so far:
"Oh Aku spray your black sticky Aku-goo all over me"
"Let me Jack you off Samurai, HAAAAAH HAAAAH HAAAAH"

I thought that was the whole point of this season; need to drive the point that Jack can't do it alone, that he needs to be shown affection from another human being that grew up in pretty similar circumstances. You can even draw parallel that:

Jack > raised positively > trained to kill Aku his whole life > gets constantly shit on > goes mad (or bad so to say)
Ashi > raised negatively > trained to kill Jack her whole life> gets treated normaly for the first time in her life > goes good

There's also nice parallel to Jack's dad, when his father defeated Aku first time, Jack was already born, which means he also had waifu that supported him in whole ordeal.

Thing is you can't explain this to either Tumblr or /co/ because one screams ''muh representation'' and other side is screaming ''muh le edgy show''.
 
I like Jack and Ashi together. I think they have a lot of chemistry and I enjoy how much they rely on each other on an emotional level.

So hearing whiny genderspecials screech over how everything about it is wrong really pisses me off. *sigh*
 
Some delicious salty goodness I came across on my dash this morning:

"Non-sexualized?" She spent the first six episodes wearing a form-fitting body suit (that was later revealed to actually be what amounts to body paint) and then switches to a leaf dress that's not much more conservative.
 
I think this is just proving more and more that part of our society is slowly turning into a bizarro "religious right", where heterosexual love is a sin but pairing Ashi up with her sisters and abusive mother is totally progressive.
 
The funny thing is that the pairing is actually quite healthy with both parties on equal standing with each other. Both have tremendous respect for each other and value what each other wants to accomplish. On top of that, they provide each other with needed emotional support and affection that both parties have lacked in their backgrounds. But I guess that's gross and disgusting for tumblr because the pairing happens to be straight.

I'd also like to point out that these were the same assholes that were creepily infantilizing Ashi as if she was some kind of toddler in order for it to fit in with their father/daughter headcanons AND the same assholes who were shoving Ashi and the Scotsman's daughter together even though neither character had met/knew each other existed.

Tumblr is the nightmare Orwell was warning us about.

Some of them even wanted a spin off series involving the two of them having adventures together while making sweet lesbian love. Sure, Cartoon Network will get on that real soon!
 
The only thing worse than the people that sexualize fictional characters are the people that try to project their sexual preferences onto them.
 
Have I walked into an alternate universe where homosexuality is considered the norm and hetero relationships are considered "taboo"?

Are these people not listening to themselves? They've become the exact same kind of people they hate so much.

So to them, I say, good for these two. I haven't watched much of the new episodes but from what I've seen, considering Jack spent fifty plus years away from his home with no way back, was losing his mind, and was on the verge of suicide, I'd say he needed something like this.

Misery loves company they say.
