tomie is literally a multiplying parasite lmao
it may represent that all men are victims of toxic masculinity, even if they dont take part in it. this is probably because in reality society has made it so that its safer to assume that all males are like this than not. gender roles negatively affect everyone.
I love the series and whole concept and everything and I understand how it’s making a comment on patriarchy and men not controlling, rather not wanting to control themselves and objectify women and all that. I get it, love the concept but the chapter Boy ruins everything for me, it ruins the whole concept and idea and makes me wonder. If Junji Ito wanted to make a comment on objectification of women, I don’t see how Boy was necessary? To me it seemed like it was purely for shock value and it was the only chapter that truly disturbed me. The little boy did not deserve this, he had absolutely no say and choice in this and he was innocent, he didn’t objectify or sexualize tomie, why does he get the same treatment other men do? It’s unfair and unnecessary to the plot and purpose of the story. If I’m missing something let me know because I can’t see how this chapter would be in the story
