Maru-maru continues to show how out of touch he is with modern times, completely ignoring the importance of consent. It’s true that there was absolutely no way around Akane ending up as cheerleader, since she’s basically been auditioning for the part roughly every second time she was on-screen. Any potential mapping of cast members to team functions featured her in the cheerleader slot – in fact, in most cases it would be the very first line you draw because it’s so inescapably obvious. And not asking her does cut down on plot time, which we all can appreciate…but, still, he should definitely have asked her.
In Maru-maru’s defense, he’s kind of an uber-boomer, having not gone to school with the great-great-grandparents of the original boomers. In view of this, I’ll spare him any additional hyper-sensitivity training, it didn’t work particularly well the last time, anyway. >_>
Let’s concentrate of the positive side of this update: preparations are nearly complete!
More on Monday.
“She’s good-looking, she slept with half the football team already and has the IQ of a turnip. It’s in the rules!”
Hey, she’s the mastermind behind Operation Climax! She can think, unlike a turnip! She just too often chooses not to…which, I guess, goes for turnips as well…
You don’t know if turnips can think or not. Did you ask them?
