Patchouli gets it! To take it easy is to work hard to provide for yourself and others, then be rewarded by taking it easy with loved ones. But nowadays, yukkuri only want to take it easy. So, basically those that take it too easy are backwards about what it means.
She even gave Reimu a chance to be forgiven if she dropped that way of living her mom taught her. Oh well, she'll get her JUSTICE.
More than backward i would say they use a literal, corrupted and lazy meaning of it.
In a way, it defies the Original and Ancestral Way of Taking it Easy, which was what the original Yukkuris had before their corruption by the acts of that famous "Original" Marisa. After that and having a taste of being pets, they became what they are, which also explains the hate of humans to them, at first they were nice creatures that would take it easy and let others take it easy, working hard for it and not being selfish, then they became arrogant, selfish, lazy, agressive, etc. And because of that, and their weak and pathetic nature, Humanity started to kill them and torture them in the spot, when "Something" Ticked in their minds after the yukkuris display of their "new" way to taking it easy.
Well, In Raising Badged Yukkuris, it is hinted that it may take Human's intervention for that to be achieved, even if some retardo yukkuri lovers may not like it using average animal treatment's morals, even though doing this may be the paralel of humans helping species in danger of going exctinct to revert back to a healthy population.
And even if yukkuris could revert to the ancestral ways, yukkuri torture won't disappear either.
But having no shithead yukkuris around will satisfy me, so no complaints there. I can't do anything about everything in the world I might not like anyway.
At any rate, currently that makes the few good-natured ones that are not trained to be well-behaved all the more valuable.
Mezzo, that happens because very few take breeding as their job, or you seriously expect the average joe or average house wife to do it? Specialized Professionals or people like the ones of Raising Badged Yukkuris, should take care of that, not every human ever, it's better to leave it to professionals since they may understand better yukkuris and actually have the facilities for doing such thing.
I actually had a theory/story idea on which, in the future, if humanity do take a stand to revert the yukkuri situation, even if you may change the balance of good and bad yukkuris and make the good ones follow the ancenstral way, there would still be shitheads around, ironically, because of yukkuri lovers or other humans, limiting humanity as whole, in doing the proper clean up of the remaining shithead leaving only good ones.
Basically we may not get completely rid of Shitheads, since leading them to extinction would be seen as a bad thing by some sectors of humanity and they would pretty much get in the way, leading to, ironically, the worse yukkuris that look down on humanity, owing their existance to the very humans that they look down to and pretty much having their life decided by the humans, not by their "superior" selves.
But, since the numbers of good yukkuris would increase, and the relationship with humans may had got better, this still remaining wild shits, may be nothing more than a relic of a decadent past still deluded in a greatness that never existed and only exist out of misguided pity from a few humans.
What i mean by having "shitheads around" is, a excluded group of yukkuris still following the corrupted and decadent way of taking easy that we are discussing here, not necessarily being born from the good ones. I think i would name this groups in the same way i did with the "Fallout 3 mod idea" "Civil Yukkuris" and "Savage Yukkuris".
>>The first abuse pic ever, was a Marisa killing her partner Reimu while going "DROP DEAD EASY! DROP DEAD EASY! HAHAHAHA" i think you can find it here post #41 Was it the series that started with that one?
post #313 Or was it the series that started there?
The latter is the first abyuse I distinctly remember.
the Threadmill one Theodoric, that one was the very original abuse pic ever, at least i had never hear anybody saying otherwise, and many do consider it as such.
And as you can see, it's a yukkuri being abusive to another, not a human, not an animal, nothing, but a Marisa killing her Reimu partner and sadistically enjoy it.
Reason why i always say "at the beginning humanity loved them because of their ancestral way of taking easy, then they changed to worse and embodied the worse human traits and used a selfish way of taking easy, and humanity grow to hate them."
I'm really impressed by this Patchouli being able to see a possiblity for redemption for this deibu. I am actually a pretty big fan of redemption in literature , I think it can be very interesting , the more so if the crime is especially grave - like murder or worse. I wouldn't go so far as to demand yukkuri comics to travel such a high road , but it might make for an entertaining new spin on the Deibu theme.
Funk it wouldn't be a Deibu if it were able to redeem itself, it would be a scum with potential. Basically having a shithead as shit as this Reimu redeem would deny a great deal of the fandom we work with if it really were a shithead and not a scum with potential.
What Patchouli did is what many good people and yukkuris do in the yukkuri world give a chance, and another and another, until they finally accept the fact that "Trash Yukkuris are beyond salvation" and proceed accordingly.
Okay , I'll really don't get what the first paragraph is supposed to mean , but it seems like a play on words to me. So you're saying: Deibu = rotten to the core Scum = shitty behaviour but salvagable? Although I guess it's true that with most trashy yukkuri there is no reason to believe they aren't just sociapaths. But this story in particular DID suggest it might be possible in this case as the Reimu - though admittably extremely stupid - apparently just got taught very bad lessons and never got called out on it until it was too late.
And yes , we've seen all too often what happens to good yukkuri when they are being too nice to the shitheads ...
Yeah basically a Deibu is the worse type of shithead. It's beyond salvation. Though truth be told you can say the same of all Trash Yukkuris be it Shitheads or Scum.
There is though, a nickname i use for some neutrals, that is "Scum with Potential". they are basically neutral yukkuris that act like scum, but with may find reedemption since they aren't as "beyond salvation" as trash yukkuris, they just act like them a bit but if done right, can be reasoned and made realize their mistakes.
I call them Scum with Potential because you may not tell them appart of average scum yukkuris out of how they act and their potential is only apparent when defeated and shown their wrongs.
