Fan outrage over Darling in the Franxx‘s 14th episode has grown to the point that the anime’s producers are now being sent death threats and mean tweets via Twitter, with many being surprised to know that the toxicity has not come solely from crude barbarians…
Yuichi Fukushima was the unlucky producer to become the stress reliever for the Internet’s childish denizens angry over the events of Darling in the Franxx’s latest airing – he first complemented the unique ending sequence for the show’s 14th episode:
His 2nd tweet however somehow triggered the masses, despite it only containing his thanks towards the staff and a message stating that he hopes fans will continue watching:
The comments made toward the producer ranged in severity, from simple insults to demanding the episode writer commit suicide:
“The director and the script can go die.”
“[Roughly] I killed your mother, silly writer.”
While death threats are no uncommon occurrence on the anonymous Internet, many sites seemed to have blown this news out of proportion…
most of those are just hate comments not death threats lol
gj
Rift was just doing his part of: “many sites seemed to have blown this news out of proportion…”
/slow clap this anime ..this is how you write a story; and trigger people who watch it of course it means that people are truly into the show… lol , i myself watch it and i enjoyed the episode anyways while i did have my frustrations and i expected episode 15 to fix it..which it did as expected but idk why people lost their marbles LOL
You expect Rift to be able to read?
Rift isn’t human, he sold soul to a shitty Japanese news posting bot.
So wait are people surprised that death threats are being sent? s♥♥t, I guess no one is old enough to remember the Evangelion ending fiasco? Is this a trend for mecha anime?
Before then, people called for Lynn Minmei’s blood near the end of SDF Macross. Mecha butthurt runs deep.
Can’t forget the fiasco around Gurren Lagann e4, that wasn’t even anything storybased, just a style shift lol
…I still enjoy the show, especially for the fact that it triggered so many people.
Guess that makes me persona non grata
that’s not what ‘triggered’ means, but ok.
That’s exactly what it means.
Likely marketing move to generate interest in the show
Controversy is an excellent tool for this.
Well, I mean, kill all cucks, but…
It’s just a TV show. It’s made up. It’s not real. Of course, if people realized that they wouldn’t be sending death threats. *sigh*
When VR becomes ubiquitous, things like this will get even worse.
For me a TV show, movie, video game or a book sometime can be more real in my head than real life.
Even so you can’t blame the writer, you can’t refute the God, you’re just a consumer. If you hate the writer so much, you’re free to write your own story.
Or, you could go and kill the writer, which is a method that has worked in the past.
OH HELL NO, Fanfics are another cancer to be expunged!
then what other options can anybody use to make their own anime? cause almost all of the ideas are gone right now and it needs to be an anime that can last for 30 years cause 12 or 26 episodes won’t cut it.
expect him to be the son of these two characters in the fanfic
From previous record of how jap director like to kill our favorite character at the end of series.
This may prevent it.
