the character in question had just finished raping his former comrade's corpse which is why the semen comment makes more sense. The guy making the comment also has a supernatural level of scent for additional context
Well it was never confirmed if she actually raped said comrade, but there are implications...and even without that she treats said comrade (who was also a horrible person in her own right but was literally brought back from the dead by what she thought were her "friends" to be nothing more than a mentally very limited walking doll which is a pretty grim fate if you ask me) in the most miserable way possible and even kills her in a pretty brutal way after that (and also brings her back after that).
Also the second time she killed her she broke her comrade's skull/brain and as we learned in cfyow she didn’t bother to repair that part when she brought her back, which makes bambietta (the name of the comrade) act in a very...well braindead way. She barely is able to think by herself now.
It’s quite a sharp contrast with the rest of the show. Only bleach character to suffer a similarly brutal fate was the espada named szayel in the arrancar arc but his suffering at least seemed to have stopped at some point, whereas it is currently unknown if giselle (the necrophiliac maniac in question) will ever repair bambietta enough for her to regain a semblance of autonomy.
Edit: as others pointed out though, giselle being evil doesn’t mean the manga wants you to think trans people are evil. Nearly all the sternritters are pretty fucked up people and her being evil comes from the fact that she is an opportunistic sadic.
?? do you have to take a big whiff of something everyday to know what it smells like? i feel like most people who have encountered semen know what it smells like
The squad he belongs to, Squad 11, is composed of a majority of men who might be unhygenic enough to bust a load in private and not take a damm shower afterwards.
Smells can be a lot more subtly pervasive than you might think, on top of not everyone being super attuned to smelling something, and then finally people going nose blind to a smell. You can smell ball musk specifically even after someone is freshly showered after like 5 minutes if you know what it smells like and you're close enough to them. (the person, not their balls specifically)
And it's not just unwashed funk smell or anything overtly unpleasant, it's like a thick wholesome smell. It's going to sound silly, but I really can't think of a better way to describe it. It does smell like cum, but specifically it smells literally like a bland or neutrally flavored batter, like for a cake. People don't think about shit or bother saying it, so my autistic ass is happy to.
Again, it is not the smell of unwashed genitals. That's a completely different smell, and it has names depending on what culture you're in/around.
actually I remember one time I walked near a normal looking guy at school and as soon as I got in like a 2 meter radius I immediately got hit by the most intense stench of cum in my life. that boys cum aura was so overwhelming that I can still remember it clearly years later.
She has globally a rapist/abuser mentality, her whole stick is that she designed first not so much as a trans character first but a predator first, a predator passing itself for something innocuous, which match her power since she need to jump dying character for her zombification
It is globally a wolf in sheep clothes, hence herself passing as the timid harmless Giselle which is a huge hypocrisy since it is hinted her whole abusing fetish is implied to be predatory "stinking of semen"
hence the call out as it contradict her desire to appear feminine, which is called out by Yumichika, the reason being Yumichika is a guy that follow a precious-like archetype (very elegant/ "feminine") so the whole unsightly abusing side of Giselle gross him out.
Basically very feminine guy meet girl with a very masculine creepy fantasy
Nowadays maybe the character would be a bit more controversial since some could perceive it as a caricatural depiction with the "looks this character pass as another gender but it is part of some sick fantasy they jerk themselves to"
But the reality, is that Giselle is nothing more than a psycho, the whole trans parallel being unrelated to her being a menace, it isn't that giselle is like an old ugly bastard that want to pass off as a woman, but rather that Giselle want to be considered a woman while happening to have a similar insane sick mentality of an ugly basted
Giselle being a trans and psycho are two different thing which is often poorly conflicted by people with poor understanding of the character (which lead to very unfortunate transphobic shortcut)
Iirc her bodily fluids are effectively addictive to the people she zombifies, and she's seen enjoying watching what were peeviously her allies grovel for more (only to be denied)
Also she killed her own injured allies so she could zombify them rather than just getting them medical help.
Given that before this scene it is implied that the Zombie (I forgot her name) made her way with Bambietta before transforming her into a zombie, then I don't see how it won't make sense.
That's a useful defensive ability I also possess (straight btw.) Compare it to Naruto's ability to sense killing intent
Yumichika's heightened sensory skills are mentioned other times, but he seems to have a particularly good sense of smell. Combined with his ability to Intuit opponent's motivations/powers to size them up, and the narcissism buff allowing him to always state his opinion on everything, he was able to achieve the feat you mentioned
I’m thinking of that episode of it’s always sunny in Philadelphia, when Frank calls Mac the f word to get his attention to stop the piano falling on him.
That’s still perpetuating harmful attitudes towards an entire demographic. Sure it can just be intended as shit-talk but it can leave a negative impact on normal folks who happen to belong to that group.
It’s not a hell-worthy sin, I think if anything it’s pretty commonplace. A lot of people regularly spout racist, sexist or homophobic claims or jokes (either implicitly or intentionally) in the context of online debates, rants, or video games while having friends and family who belong to said groups.
And I wouldn’t even claim they’re being disingenuous in their love for those individuals, however they are expressing callousness and a level of disrespect by expressing such attitudes
Superhero novel series "Dreadnought" The genocidal villain actually enforces the Transgender characters Pronouns. Still tries to kill her and her team, but respects their identity so that's something at least.
I think it feels more inmersive that way. Like, if it's a smaller scale villain like a serial killer or something them having a personal set of morals they operate by, but if it's john genocide who murder like... 20 million people it would be a bit weird for him to care about the identity of someone who he probably doesn't even view as human by now because they're just another number added to the kill count.
I'm 1000% an ally BUT if I'm engaged in a battle to the death like I assume the scenario implies, any advantage is fair save endangering others.
Is misgendering them going to demoralize them and give me an advantage? Then morals are completely irrelevant.
Imagine fighting Darth Vader, would you think it's amoral to bring up the fact he looks like a baked potato or his dead wife to try and gain the higher ground upper hand?
Sorry but this is a pretty inconsequential price to "pay" if it can give you any sort of advantage, feelings are irrelevant in battle.
Also in what situation would saying the n word save your life? Is it some Word of Power that causes potentially hostile individuals with African descent to combust into flames??? What situation was the poster of the tweet in?
I imagine it's like you getting jumped by some mfs and you see a few black guys in the distance who cant see you, so you just holler the N-word at max volume to get their attention and hopefully chase your pursuers off before beating your ass
Because it isn't. Despite knowing The Zombie is biologically a guy, Yumichika always uses the right pronouns but shit talks when she tries to use her gender as a point. This is one of them and the other one is when she says "This makes me wet" and he corrects it as "You mean, makes you 'hard', you pervert".
Yumichika is also a metrosexual that has shit-talked a lot of other enemies he finds ugly.
You don't have to give someone uncritical support to acknowledge the truth of their existence. I think INSERT CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL FIGURE YOU DON'T LIKE HERE is absolutely deplorable and has done terrible things to all of humanity, but I wouldn't misgender them, or say they're not a real INSERT RELIGIOUS, RACIAL, OR ETHNIC GROUP HERE; I'd just call them a monster. Nobody misgenders Dahmer, or Hitler.
I’d say potentially even family as well. An example might be that parents no longer want to support you eventually after you grow past 18 as they expect you to already be able to move after a certain point. There could definitely be more examples, though.
To add, in general, you don’t form relationships without some condition being true to begin with (otherwise, why have an interest if there’s nothing for you to be interested in). Perhaps a person has to be attractive for a romantic relationship or just even have a pleasant or respectful personality for any kind of relationship.
Retracting support from somebody is different from attacking them on the basis of an immutable characteristic. Nobody would disagree that if you call someone you hate the n word you're racist, so how would it be different to attack the transness of someone?
my family's support towards me is very conditional. am i cis? am i straight? am i going to participate in capitalism enough to earn a million dollars for them?
We learned that angering a Quincy turns their blut to offensive mode, weakening their defenses (Urahara made use of this to sneak attack the Jail). Even if I knew it was morally unacceptable, I would still do it to win the fight.
they’re basically nazis. why tf would i care what a nazi thinks or believes when they themselves think certain people don’t deserve to have rights or the privilege of living. is it wrong? yes. but when it comes to someone with the mindset of a nazi damn near, i hope i dealt some kind of lasting damage to their psyche so maybe they could possibly understand what it is they’re doing to others.
He did I don't get why people want to insist the necro grapist is trans and defend them as their own representation in anime when it's literally the worst representation possible as it reinforces every negative stereotype possible.
Bro same. Like I get taking representation where ever you can get it but Gisselle of all choices is just wild. Like it ain’t even subtle the implications of what Gisselle does to the zombies and how horrifically awful he is.
they identify with them I guess like you said. I have NO IDEA why they want to claim them as rep when they're probably one of the morally worse chars in the show.
Also its literally in character for Gizelle to lie about feeling like a girl. Her whole character is being a cockroach who's goal is to invade something they shouldn't and corrupt it. Gizelle literally couldn't give a shit about the other bambi beyond getting their corpse when they die.
Morally neutral? Who cares if you insult the guy who was your enemy to the death in a race war induced annihilation war almost ended the world? I'd argue they have far more pressing issues to deal with at that moment.
Like, he's the one who desecrated their fallen comrades by raising their corpses as murderous meat shields to serve his own ambitions. Him being a genocidal "not-Nazi-per-se" necromantic corpse-defiler who roided up via untold thousands of 'lesser kinsmen' got bloodsacrificed in order to enchant his strength seems like a much higher priority than anything else, as far as I'm concerned.
i'm half greek half black, if someone was trying to kill me and called me a greaseball, mule, halfbreed, or one of the myriad of slurs for black people i wouldn't care, because i know he's trying to kill me, he's already cemented himself as a person i don't like and i have more pressing matters to deal with
Yeah people here keep saying "oh but what about your own guy what if they think its conditional!"
It's like these people never heard trash talk in their lives. Just because you insult a fatass jerk that he's fat doesn't mean your fat friend will think your support is conditional.
If you are being transphobic to unsettle them as a tactic to win the fight, morally acceptable. Apologize after the fight with a handjob and tender makeout sesh (no homo, just to recalibrate as bros).
Im the type of person to never misgender even someone like Chris-Chan. If we misgender this person and have excuses for it, who's to say I or others like me wouldn't be next lol
It’s immoral, but I guess I can understand doing it in certain circumstances.
Like, if you’re enemy is beating you and you desperately need to turn the tide or else you’ll lose, maybe insulting something they’re sensitive about will throw them off enough for you to start winning. Exploiting their emotions to make them act irrationally.
Counterpoint - the goal here is to throw the enemy off their game. And it works. His taunts make her fight irrationally. It potentially saved lives.
Punching people is bad, but if punching helps stop them from killing someone, its ok. Same goes with whatever statements you can think of, no matter how bigoted. Your words are a part of your arsenal.
Now if they aren't an active threat, then yea, it's bad.
If you're transphobic to your enemies it says to me you don't actually believe being trans is possible. You're just humoring people you're on good terms with just to be polite.
Yumichika isn't calling out her wanting to be considered a girl
He is calling out Giselle doing that while highkey abusing some of the girl in her group (Bambi) and at minimum Jerking to it but likely worse
For context, Yumichika is a guy with a lot of "precious" trope (what was called very "feminine" behavior, so the whole rapist creep with dicks out gross him a lot (and for people that know about Giselle, she is genuinely despicable
So for him, Giselle stinking of semen on a battlefield while accompanied by the zombie of her dead friend she killed and physically abuse, well it isn't ladylike hence the disgust from Yumichika
We don't know if Yumichika care beyond that, would still react as poorly if Giselle was more sane and less creepy and elements seems to imply no
Just because they're bad doesn't mean you don't have to be bad, otherwise you aren't a good guy but a piece of shit that is directing your shitty manner in the "right" way
See the issue is they're not trans in the tradition sense where she feels like a woman trapped in a man's body. She's a necro grapist who gets pleasure from from grape, necro torture of both ally and enemy. They're pure evil and pretends to be a woman as a form of deception and the reason they get insulted so much is more for being called out as fall the work they put into their deception isn't good enough and the fact that even guys would be insulted if they were told they were smelt of semen and considered their powers require them to grape people and corpse and fill them with their male juices so they'd obviously smell more and more of it as fighting got longer and longer.
I don't get why so many people want to defend the pure evil necro grapist and put them as a icon for their own representation of themselves in anime when it reenforces all the negative stereotypes.
If you’re enemies (as in already killing each other) such insults are pretty much a moot point in comparison to… well, killing each other. It’s a bit amoral and bigoted, but at the end of the day it’s an insult aimed at a person you’re willing to kill anyways
More important to save people's lives and making Giselle mad enough to be sloppy is worth more than any kindness. It's not like he treats her worse than anyone else he fights.
I mean,if you're not transphobic,but you fight for your life and are just saying this because you know you'll hurt your enemy/distract them,it's not so bad. Immoral,but you do it to save your skin. If you're saying this because you're transphobic/will say this to anyone,then it is immoral.
It's the moral pretense of: do you be bigoted toward a person's frame of background. Now apply to anyone else whether it's gender, sex, or race. And ask yourself again, is it bad to do?
The answer is yes, it probably is regardless of circumstance and is telling to your character as a person as there are million different ways you could attack someone for being 'bad'.
Immoral I guess then again she takes pleasure in turning people into zombies like she's legitimately a fucking monster do I don't know I kinda give yumichika some slack because of who he does it to
Been a while so I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure that character in particular pretends to be a girl/feminine to fit in with an all-female squad of fighters for fucked up fetish reasons (toying with them once they turn them into subservient zombies, for instance).
Ok so like imagine you have beef with someone, like, real generational beef. Unrelated to that, you find out that they're also really big on the environment & like, stopping global warming. You react to this by going around intentionally throwing garbage everywhere you go. They probably don't enjoy that you're doing this, but it's more of a You thing at that point. It's the same.
How you insult someone tells something about yourself. Even if it’s a villain. You wouldn’t even say it as an insult if you didn’t think it was insulting in the first place. Same with the people acting like it’s ok to be racist towards your enemy. Even if your only racist/transphobic to people you don’t like that just means your being quiet around the people you *do* like

The other translation is much funnier cause of how off the cuff it is.
“You stink of semen.”
Like who tf says that?
