This is my personal and subjective feelings on this and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but I also want to express myself.
Sorry if you’re the creator of this but I just have to share how much I dislike the entire character archetype of this series. That whole twisted anime character trope is just insufferable and its random inclusion in these kinds of communities has always seemed especially strange. I can’t be bothered to put my finger on why. But I remember it being so much worse on Reddit. Like people would just post crap just so there could be a thread of people posting horrified reaction images. But it’s not horrifying. It’s just irritating and not funny. I’m not saying I hate this in the joking faux horrified way everyone else is. I’m saying every time I see this character pop up it seems like gratuitous weird horny-baiting mentally disturbed crap. The spiral eyes and the little fang, ugh. Just can’t stand it. Like what’s the point of this character? To be incredibly annoying and unpleasant but it’s le big tiddy anime girl so now it’s le funnie epic joke? I just don’t get it.
I kind of get it, because I come into the comments just to post, “Mimi so scary”
At first when I saw it, the fangs and scary eyes were really unsettling, but she was doing hi-jinks more than anything actually bad; just mildly socially transgressive. The huge anime boobs add to the unsettling effect but also in a horny way (?) It’s hard to verbalize.
Now when I see these comics, it’s like shock with a twinge of pleasure? Partly from recognizing Mimi?
I don’t really get anime so this is really the only place I see this “trope.”
Yeah, I agree, though my problems usually come from the comics just not being funny and/or not making sense. Like this one, the bowl of food undercuts the whole joke. Is it her food that she’s ruining to give the other girl? If so, why would she give her own lunch away, regardless of the keyboard debris? If not, where did it come from? It would make more sense if she said, “yeah I always keep some snacks nearby, hold out your hands,” and then the last panel was her dumping the stuff into the other girl’s open palms. It’s nitpicky, but they’re all like that with the punchline either in the wrong place, forced into it without proper setup, or completely non-existent. This applies to the majority of comics I see posted here unfortunately.

Edit: I also love it when she has ghost hair.

The point of the bowl is that she’s got enough keyboard gunk to fill a bowl. There’s no bowl of food. It’s just a lot of keyboard gunk.
i totally get what u mean.
these kinds of immediate shock posts which… dont have any content beyond that.
like u said, where its… just some people in the comments reacting to it… but i guess thats most posts.
in these cases though, its stronger than usual.
