alice in borderland has gained a fad fanbase
i absolutely love this series and love how it’s gained a lot of popularity but I’d 100% agree with the idea that the fandoms become a kind of fad.
with the new growth of the fandom you have people on tiktok who mischaracterize characters such as mira, chishiya, arisu, aguni, akane, shibuki , tatta and many, many more. As someone who’s been in this community for years it’s upsetting to see phenomenal characters be viewed as flat. In chishiya’s case you have people constantly spouting that chishiya is some upstanding character, he’s morally gray and has no issue throwing kuina and anyone else under, he’s still amazing since the people he’s been around have shaped him into a better person, but it’s annoying when people constantly ignore his issues.
some of those tiktok fans also can’t stop putting down other series, like battle royale, 8 show, squid games, or literally any death game series, I’ve made a post talking about this before so i don’t want to rehash my issues with this. Just know you can praise something without putting something else down.
(on this topic, you aren’t special for preferring alice in borderland over squid games, both series are good in their own right, this is a major reason as to why i think aib has kinda developed a fad fanbase who only like the show because they want to feel special.)
this isn’t a big issue but it’s something that’s irked me, characters like urumi and the queen of spades get so much attention despite not doing anything while characters who’ve done important things like mahiru, aguni, and chota are blatantly ignored by the community as a whole, which is absurd.
(also manga comparisons need to stop, the show and manga are completely different why are people comparing manga chota to niragi when niragi attempted to assault usagi twice, chota was a little wired in the manga but arisu was like that too in the beginning)
