>>4020828>Uchida herself doesn't see it as predatory/groomingThat doesn't make it better tho.
Actually kinda the opposite.
The people complaining would find that much worse.
>>4020773>It's a tragedyPretty derpy tragedy
>completely miss the messageI'm fairly certain whether they do or don't get it is immaterial to their reaction
>Just zero empathy with these people. It’s kind of disgustingExtremely funny thing to say, given that you seem shocked
>celebrating that the teacher turns into a fishI mean, yeah.
You wanna talk empathy?
Use your empathy here: if Mrs. Lakeysha's little boy splatters his brains on the pavement because Mr. Teacher convinced him that they should do a shinju and meet each other in another life, do you think that you would be in the right to tell Mrs. Lakeysha that she shouldn't be so displeased at Mr. Teacher and his antics because that was real love she would be opposed to, which would make her a bad person?
When you think about the situation for a second outside of the romantic moment of death, you'd find that, though it may be on that aesthetic shit, the character of the teacher must be fairly vile to let this situation happen.
Like, if they in their universe are as uncertain as we are about the afterlife, then effectively, what Mr. Teacher had done is escape the fate of being beaten or shanked to death in prison or, more realistically, being shuffled around to another school district, by allowing, or worse, convincing a child to join his suicide pact.
Most charitably, he's insane: in another life, Mr. Teacher was born was an enthusiastic suicide bride in the 2nd intifada
