"It's no wonder you guys are a laughing stock."

Really now? You don't appear to have named anyone who considers us as such aside from yourself, so it looks like you're pretending the opinion of the masses is on your side. I'm doubting that this is the case.

"Firstly... lol misogyny. This series has made a running joke about Rangiku's ti- -clears throat- excuse me, "chest" size at various points in the storyline, in both canon and filler. I don't see any of you block heads shouting anti-female nonsense there. So the creator of the series can mock his own characters, but I can't? #logic."

1. Ichigo's name and hair and Hitsugaya's shortness have also been made fun several times in the series, yet I doubt that's the only thing you remember about them.

2. Whenever Kubo points out the size of Rangiku's breasts, it's usually followed by her harming whoever pointed it out, e.g. Isshin in the Everything But The Rain mini-arc, Kon and Keigo in the Arrancar.

3. Kubo's actions don't justify those of his fans. Additionally, you appear to believe that since we didn't mention Kubo pointing out Rangiku's breast size, we don't have a problem with it. You're severely mistaken. Very few of us think that oversexualization of characters is a good thing, especially with Bleach's target audience. However, we can also acknowledge that the personality and history Kubo has created for Rangiku is very different from what is normally found in shonen series these days, not even mentioning how surprisingly tragic her relationship with Gin is. You, on the other hand, appear to think that Rangiku's character consists of nothing more than breasts.

"Secondly... what development? She's had a history with Gin Ichimaru and Isshin Shiba that has barely been touched upon since they were revealed, and since their reveal, we've barely seen anything from her on them. What do we see? Her being useless, as always. Seriously, when is the last time she's won a fight, like, ever? Sure, lately she helped Toshiro against Bazz-B, but how much did that help them in the long run? Just a few minutes later, she's half dead on the floor. Kubo cares for her about as much as I do."

1. I have no idea what you mean by Rangiku's relationship with Gin barely being touched on. It was first introduced in the SS arc, and during the Deicide arc Rangiku's past got major exposition. At this point, her relationship with Gin couldn't really have anything added to it because Kubo covered almost everything and left the rest up for the readers to infer. As for Isshin, there's not much to touch upon: they were lieutenant and captain, that's really about it.

2. You don't appear to recall Rangiku Matsumoto vs. Izuru Kira, wherein she kicked Izuru's ass; Rangiku Matsumoto & Yasutora Sado vs. Sawatari, since you're counting filler; Rangiku Matsumoto vs. Nakeem Grindina; Rangiku Matsumoto & Momo Hinamori vs. Haineko & Tobiume; and Rangiku Matsumoto vs. Reigai-Izuru Kira, all of which she won or came out on top of. And it is by no means fair or rational to say that she can't fight because Cang Du severely wounded her: you seem to have forgotten that while Rangiku is a lieutenant, Cang Du is stronger than a captain.

3. And now you're trying to justify your position by claiming Kubo is on your side. Judging by the tragic relationship and past he crafted for her, as well as the character and personality he gave her, you're quite wrong.

In the end, rather than actually justify your sexist comment, you instead insult us, the series, the author, and the character and pass off your original comment as a joke. Know this: it isn't, and insults don't actually prove your point, they just display your immaturity for all to see. Though this was admittedly quite apparent from your original comment.
