Fandom

In their 20th Anniversary retrospective, Giovanna and Yasha, the administrators of the Empty Movement, noted the fandom's shifting perspective on Akio over the years:[1]

Would you believe that in the beginning, Akio used to be seen as something of an aspirational figure? It's true! You could tell who the dudes in the fandom were because they often liked him, while most of the girls dismissed him easily. Now, people are less likely to write him off as either a cookie-cutter villain or power fantasy. His character is uncomfortable, requiring a depth of consideration you might not give a story that hadn't stood the test of time.
