He says it in his fight with Midnight during the final exams. Literally, "I want girls to love me, so I can touch them."

Happy birthday! Have a waifu!

No no, this can only be a secret conspiracy to hide the fact that they don't have any new shows! Because it's not like they've ever aired Western cartoons before! This is clearly a harbinger of the block's impending doom! THE END IS NIGH!

Okay that has to be just straight up furry porn.

He hit on a six year old child. 😬

It's a Halloween miracle!

I'm a weak little baby and I'm afraid to see what happens after the end of the 90s anime.

I'm just gonna quote the part of my post you clearly did not understand. Keywords there: FOR THEIR TIME. Representation is a constantly evolving concept. Something that was considered an acceptable joke a decade ago is no longer okay by today's standards, because that's just how progress works. 10-20 years ago, it was a positive step that the okama were simply written as good guys, even in a mocking way. Obviously that seems pretty gross when you look back on it, and it's telling that it's been basically a decade since we've seen them used for cheap jokes like that. Even now, when one of the villains is an okama, that's just another trait for his character and isn't being dragged out for laughs. Sure it would be nice if Oda released a public statement apologizing for his character writing back in the day, but the fact that the most popular series in Japanese history has had such an obvious change in how it depicts queer characters is huge in itself. The evolution of representation isn't just affecting One Piece, either. When Tiger and Bunny came out in 2011, the hero Fire Emblem was seen as a funny but positive portrayal of a queer character. Now though, it's not hard to see why some people are a little uncomfortable with his/their gender and sexual identity being used for laughs, or the running gag where he gropes an obviously uncomfortable man's ass multiple times over the series. Revolutionary Girl Utena showed off a whole grab bag of sexual preferences, but boy howdy are most of those characters fucked up. Hell, Bleach gave us Charlotte, whose entire character basically came down to "Look at this ugly man in a fairy costume who thinks he's a pretty princess. Laugh at him!" Representation marches on with time, and in recent years we've seen some shows with more nuance like Yuri on Ice, Carole and Tuesday, and Sarazanmai where "He's gay, point and laugh!" isn't the be-all-end-all of the queer characters. In another decade we may look back on these shows and notice glaring flaws in how they depict gay relationships and characters, but they'll still matter as stepping stones towards creating series with even better representation.

The only thing worse than regular Black Clover is Black Clover filler. Jojo- Oh no, Doppio. Please call him. Turtle Polnareff is in danger. Aw crap, his gun. Again, Mista says fuck cops. Aw fuck the boss is here. I love the bullets so much. Polnareff's about to be killed by his own stand. Climb, Mista! Aw fuck, it's the time bullshit again. Uh hey, what the fuck? Don't worry, the horrifying mutations aren't hurting them. Mista's still getting the best lines. Alright where's the boss. The gun is now a mole. "The bullets and I aren't stupid," says the stupid one. Aw fuck, he's hiding in somebody's body. Thank god Giorno's got the team's brain cells for this arc. I guess he can just sense souls now. Gee Mista you sure are fighting back a lot for an innocent guy. Goddammit Mista of course it was you! OH FUCK WE'VE BEEN PLAYED. I like that half this fight is just one guy screaming at himself. Aw shit he stole Mista's body. Mista you've shot yourself 80 times already this isn't a big deal. Whelp, we're boned. I'm just gonna assume this shadow nonsense makes sense. I don't know what just happened but SHIT. The blood is now ants. This is not going well. Yeah yeah, Kira thought his stand had no flaws either. The bullets are now gum. Man, Spice Girl's got great tits. And then Trista died. Ass Class- Naruto's not even on the test! I would fail Naruto class. That's also how I solve a rubic's cube. Give that squid a raise. Sorry but your kids have gotta fail to make everyone else feel better. Aw shit I'd definitely be in the dumb and lazy percent. I'm also bad at simple puzzles. Today's lesson is that the principal can fuck off. Sorry squid but we need the money. Alright kids, your goal today is to destroy the douchebag principal's system. I wish I'd had a teacher like this back in school. Good luck kids, I'm rooting for you. I also fear the Math Gator. Why do I get the feeling that the principal will just change all the scores if too many of them do well. Okay we're good, it's just a Math Trout. Aw fuck it's EVIL MATH. It's okay kids, you tried your best. Someone hug that squid. Aww, the creepy lunatic learned something. You'll get 'em next time! Clover- Kill them all, fire bitch. You're a poor imitation of Sparkle Boy and I hate you. I got a bad feeling that this is gonna be some stupid bullshit. Oh, it's a nun. I have no memory of this woman. Oh this is some stupid bullshit alright. Is this filler? I also think this is a waste of time and would hate being here. Because god forbid they feed the hungry orphans without an ulterior motive. Oh no it's his sister. Aw FUCK it's sister fucker and I hate everything. Fuck this shit I'm out. Fire Force- If either Vulcan or Obi survive this series I'm automatically married to them. Forget about her you guys, I'm right here volunteering to be her replacement. Fine kill her, see if I care. God I love a man who can just shrug off a bullet. Oh sure, take back the girl who intentionally almost killed you. I forgot there was an actual plot to this show beyond two buff dudes throwing themselves at fire. Nothing good ever happens to anime kids with white hair and powers. This show confirms what I've always known, that bugs come crawling out straight from hell. Ya gotta beat your brother's ass. Marry me, Cap'n Sexy. Tonight's theme is time shenanigans, apparently.

Oooh yay, Brainwash Boy's in that promo. He finally gets to be in the show again!

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Antarctic research teams confirmed as furries.

The Rock as Yami is a good idea, but let's not stop there. Cast The Rock as everyone and this garbage has a chance. Just give him different wigs and shrink him as necessary to play every character.

Yes, straight guy. Tell the queer person who actively keeps up with the series that I don't know any better about queer representation in the series.

I fear Tamaki getting more bullshit, painfully awkward fanservice even more than I fear getting any of these men killed. Jojo- Man I hope Bruno keeps that sexy boss body so I don't have to feel as bad about my thirst.Turtle Polnareff is always hilarious. You should probably just behead Bruno's body or something now. Aw shit, your own stand is fighting against you. Mista gets the best lines. Oh no, it's everybody's stands. Seriousy, somebody kill Bruno's body. Oh hey, Bruno's body bleeds now. Narancia no don't talk like that, you're just tempting fate. Oh FUCK he's here. Oh no here's four bullets. Oh no that's a lot of blood. MY IDIOT SON, NO. Giorno fix him now. Rest in peace, sweet dumbass. Fuck you, cheese suit. Aaaand I'm crying. Aw shit, there's an extra one running around somewhere. Is Doppio okay in there? You'd think he would have taken the opportunity to finally kill Trish. Oh this hurts my heart. Mista says fuck cops. And then shit got even more bizarre. Turtle Polnareff with the save. Uh somebody might wanna grab the slow-moving reptile before he gets attacked. Ass Class- Hey do you like us enough to not kill us all? Aw damn he just stole your snacks. Well, the important thing is that she tried. Oh shit that actually worked. False alarm, he's blue now. He is the best teacher. Y'all fucking or what? Refusing to give these kids AC should be a crime. Aw crap, you just made him more powerful. Well we know he responds to titties. This mascot is a real bastard and I kinda love him. And then everyone died. Poor Squid Sensei can't come. Douchebags, all of them. Boy are they all gonna be embarrassed when the reject class succeeds. Look at our knife holders. They really do get all the hot teachers. Titties. Thank you squid. I love his human disguise. They have the best teachers. Can we just kill these two dicks? And Nagisa's balls finally dropped. I got a bad feeling about this. Clover- Maybe I'll get lucky and most of them will die. She's so angry and the only bitch in this show that has my respect. Forget the kingdom, do it or she'll kill you. Isn't that dimestore Hisoka's power? Is this entire thing just a fake exercise to test their skills? Just fuck him already, you dumb bitch. If this giant spider kills any of them, it automatically becomes the best character in the show. Well that treasure chest is disturbing. Kill them, giant spider. Oh good, the entire one-dimensional squad is here. Good thing your enemy is willing to stand there and wait for your attack to power up without fighting back. You are a disappointment and I hope your sister disowns you. At least they get free treasure out if it. God, you're both unbearable. Murder them, angry lady. I'm sure I've had worse than that Dungeon Drink. She looks absolutely identical to her mother, because character design is hard. Tell her about her mom, because god knows her fuckhole siblings aren't going to tell her anything. I'd follow you into hell, Tatum. Kill them, let the hate flow you. Fire Force- GUN. Go ahead, kill the weird guy. I'll admit, the terrible hero names gag has grown on me. Shoot her, Gun Man. You can't die you have to keep shooting Maki's adorable flame buddies. Don't mess with GUN. Oh hey, dumbass is here. Oh right, he actually learned something. Great job you almost killed your friend. False alarm, I forgot that was a legit good attack. Maki is my girlfriend. Date me, either of you. Vulcan I'm right here, volunteering to be your better girlfriend. Nah, I'm pretty sure her rack was enough to get Vulcan's attention. Never trust a man in a plague mask.

Black Clover is what happens if you just run old Shonen Jump magazines through a shredder and make a series out of whatever pieces you tape together. Oh wait, I get it now! It's a parody of recycling!

The tweet in the first post literally says this is a special performance. It's no different than the block being hijacked for Batman movies and isn't a permanent change.

The okama were considered fairly decent representation for their time, which was 10-20 years ago when most of them were introduced. Some of them look pretty bad by today's standard, because trans and queer representation has taken huge strides over the past decades and that includes within Japan. Oda has actually learned from this, and doesn't rely on cheap "lol homo" jokes with them anymore. The worst gag we've seen with an okama in the past 10 years was a badass army commander joking with his comrades not to look up his short skirt. Spoilers for a show you don't watch, but recently in the manga we've had some very positive characters who are all but confirmed to be trans:

For fuck's sake, it's a ripoff not a parody. If I give Mickey Mouse blue shorts and call him Ricky Rat, that doesn't make it a parody.

I just assume they're making this because somebody noticed they missed a couple of girls getting molested the first time around.

Jojo- I bet that gaping chest wound is really giving him Kakyoin flashbacks. And then everyone died. Oh shit full OP. I have no idea what he just said. Oh no it's a dog in Jojo! Uhh y'all okay there? Oh cool, Trish knows how to use a gun. Wait what. Oh god they're all body swapped. Surprise titties. Oh my god Misa gets the best dialogue. I like that they didn't go the obvious route of switching everyone's voices. Poor Trish is suffering. Narancia gets to sound smart for the first time in his life. Mista's right, bras suck. Uh guys Bruno might be dead. Oh cool, their stands are upgraded. Aw shit did the entire city get swapped? Even the animals got switched. Oh that's ominous. Oh my god tell me somebody switched with the turtle. Turtle Polnareff. The fuck happened with that arrow? Oh no, does that mean the turtle's soul is gone now? This is all because Polnareff was too dumb to use a hanger or something to grab it. Polnareff what the FUCK did you do? At least Chariot got a cool hat. Doppio is a good boy. I hope it's somebody on our side. I do like his cool hat. Oh thank god it's Bruno. Well hey, Bruno got a sweet functional body out of this! Ass Class- That's a great human disguise. You gotta kill those guys now. Thank you, Squid Sensei. Titties. I love her already. She's definitely got a tentacle fetish. Oh no, my ship has sank already. Me too, Squid. She's fun. False alarm, I'm calling the cops. The kids do have a point. I'm just rooting for Squid Sensei to destroy the world at this point. This is how i want to die. You can't defeat his boner. How are you so stupid that you didn't use the special bullets that can actually kill him? Tentacle punishment. Everyone is uncomfortable. He definitely went tentacle hentai on her. Nobody likes you, Bitch Sensei. Good kids. He's the best teacher. Oh god this lesson. At least she's trying. I love Professor Bitch. Clover- STOP SCREAMING YOU JACKASS. Oh good, more of the obnoxious one-dimensional character traits are on display here. Kill them, angry fire lady. No don't focus on the shitty sibling. Make them suffer for my amusement. I want most of them to die painfully. I would follow you into hell, J. Michael Tatum. Like Charmy, it's ridiculously easy to bribe me with food. Oh my god, stop screaming. Bird you can fly, just fly to the hot spring. I hate all of you. Kill them, Charmy. I want Noelle to die painfully. Definitely rooting for the giant death spider here. Oh hey, it's the good siblings. I respect a woman who sends the weaklings out to either win or get slaughtered. Oh no, this shit continues next week. Fire Force- Between this show and MHA, I've learned to never trust a man in a plague mask. Date me, Captain Sexy and/or Vulcan. I like how my two favorites in this series are ironically the ones who don't have fire powers. I live in constant fear of them dying. "Cool, bro." Why did they bring the nun who can't fight, and is too stupid to figure out an obvious trick? Every time Tamaki gets a painfully forced fanservice scene I die a little inside. Maki is my girlfriend. I genuinely forget that Tamaki is not completely useless. False alarm, Tamaki is in fact the worst. The show would be so much better if these two were just lesbians.

I hope this means it's time for everyone's favorite redheaded fire bitch and not something stupid like last week.

If there was any doubt that 2020 was truly cursed.

Nuns are allowed to drink, but not to the point of getting drunk. Jojo- Doppio is a good boy. Aw fuck, Bruno's blind now. Oh hey, Mista. That phone thing never stops being funny. Trish honey get back in the turtle. Uh Bruno I don't think that's Trish. I should probably be a little ashamed of how much I enjoy that evil boss voice. Goddamn souls screwing up everything. Bruno confirmed for best dad. Yeah you're not acting suspicious at all. Hey there, Frenchy. It's bonkers to think this entire season is only a few days. He's a good Trish. Goddammit Polnareff don't show off the arrow. Oh hey, backstory. Hey there, Enya. Oh hey, Jotaro. I'm eternally disappointed that we never got a scene of Enya shooting Dio in the face with an arrow. Avdol wouldn't have fallen into this trap. How did he even escape he had line one limb left. Aw shit his stand is out. Polnareff how did you even get up those stairs? He's got a point, this is really a tits-out kind of fight. I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND. You're not the first hot, evil time bastard he's fought. Oh, that's new. Uh hey Chariot, you okay there buddy? Whelp. Oh no you dumb French idiot you're not allowed to die here, Avdol and Iggy didn't die for this. HI AVDOL. And now, shit gets fucking bizarre. Ass Class- You should just try roasting him to death, that seems to have an effect. Come on kids, stab your teacher! Haa, the girls think he's cute. It's okay Squid Sensei, you're still my favorite teacher. I don't trust this new kid. Huh, that was a solid plan there. I hate this boy. He's a fucking psychopath, that's what he is. Meanwhile, douchebags. Alright you can go ahead and kill these nerds. You're making it real hard for me to root against the world-threatening monster. OCTOPUS NO. I hate this kid so much. Hey, free takoyaki. I love Squid Sensei so goddamn much. Ooh, sweet nail art. I love watching him clown on this little bastard. Just let him die. He could easily just get under him and just catch him like that. You suck, crazy boy. He can go ahead and destroy the world, I fully support him. Clover- Oh good the screaming's already started. I hope they crash and die. Is this filler? I hate you, Tinkerbell. Remember when he died and was almost set free from this dumpster fire? Oh what the fuck now. This is the shittiest version of Hogwarts. Kill the fairy, children. You stay the fuck away from that nun. This is painful. I hate every minute of this. Are we sure this isn't filler? I am thoroughly creeped out by mom Yuno. I forgot Bargain Bin Gandalf existed. My night is actively worse for having watched this. Fire Force- I hate Tamaki so much. Donkey Dick is the best joke in the entire show. Vulcan's got great style. We get it, you're hot and bitchy. Hiii Captain Sexy. Oh no, Science Dandy is absolutely not trustworthy. Man it's gonna suck when I eventually get Captain Sexy killed. Date me, Vulcan. The morale of this story is to be ready to get your ass beat at all times. Those children are awful. Nobody trusts you because you're creepy and suspicious. Maki is my girlfriend. I like her witch hat. Arthur's fine, it's not like he uses his brain.
