this has in fact always been the consensus among "normie" jjba fans as well as araki himself. its not remotely controversial anywhere except to the terminally online who are deeply embedded in shipping discourse

really bugs me when people talk about johnny having a "southern accent" or "southern drawl". that boy is from danville kentucky, hes closer to west virginia than texas. if he has an accent its more of an appalachian twang
jonawagons pitching a fit over the new jojo world illust & dismissing/minimizing the relevance of zeppeli (and his descendants) in defense of their ship is so funny to me. speedwagon fans are truly the weakest link of pb fandom
i love when fanartists exaggerate the unnatural/uncanny qualies of dios parasitized body. mismatched skin tones, festering neck wounds, when the head is grossly out of proportion with the rest of him etc. he needs to look supernaturally beautiful and ontologically wrong
the 2007 eureka interview is floating around my feed again today. too often this excerpt (emphasis mine) gets passed around as a refutation of the concessions to queer readings araki makes elsewhere in this conversation (in this screenshot!) when thats not at all what hes saying
dio is a creature who "runs purely on desire". hes not compassionate like jonathan or devoted like pucci; his affections are shallow and selfish and usually destructive, but he does have them. he doesnt "love" in a way that is healthy and reciprocal because thats not his nature
ok it is a very funny phenomenon when somebody draws two characters doing gay shit and captions it "not ship". you know you wouldnt have to preempt that if you hadnt drawn them doing gay shit
