I.......am a little floored by your response, to be honest. You seem to have gotten a very incorrect view of me, my opinions, and my beliefs. I am sorry that I seem to have upset you so deeply and made you feel personally attacked. It was never my intention to make you feel that I had something personally against you.

My brother is left-handed, so I'm very aware of how children used to be forced to learn to use their right hand. Obviously, I don't think my brother is an Evil Sorcerer or something because he uses his left hand. That is just plain silly.

However, as I already mentioned, the old superstitions and how frequently they are used in fiction is noteworthy. Eto is a character that is very clever and hides a major advantage, something that was traditionally associated with left-handed fighters. Likewise, it is a trope often used to convey that someone has "lost their moral compass" or otherwise is going against social conventions. Again, things we see with Eto in the story. That she is the only left-handed character is again an interesting detail, especially when we already see how Ishida loves Symbolism. He uses it everywhere in the story, so I doubt it was a random choice to hint at her being more than she seemed by showing Takatsuki writing with her left hand.
