Do any other anons think shipping incest really isn't terrible or unforgiveable the way antishippers claim it is? Incest has been featured in fiction for hundreds of years.

I can get why someone might enjoy it and think it no big deal/the same as regular shipping if they're an only child, but it is a bit questionable when someone with siblings is really into it, or idk stuff like weecest or whatever that was. As a sibling-haver, it does gross me out kek, but it's generally not shame or sperg-worthy without being part of other retarded/creep behaviour.

(I also understand some are into it more for narrative elements rather than fetish or romance/shipping reasons, but that leads to a very specific (and same-y) kind of angsty story/fic that I personally don't get the appeal of seeing more than a couple of times)

It was all the fault of Bandori yuritroon adri/cybershoujo, the runner of mikumiku_ebooks, and the official english account playing along like you said. He cashed on Notch doing wrongthink at the time by giving trannies a really childish way to separate art from the artist. He was later disowned for talking inappropriately about minor mutuals in private (lol), all while calling him "she" of course (lmao), that's why you don't see "Hatsune Miku made Minecraft" memes nowadays. Yet his legacy persists as Miku is known in the west as a tumblr refugee mascot of Correct Opinions.

Growing up in idoltwt in such close proximity to TIMs was unironically what kept me from completely drinking the gender koolaid. Him, Andrearitsu, and other TIM mutual-in-laws of mine constantly getting busted for grooming, some of them even creeping on me personally when I was a young girl, I subconsciously made a connection in my mind that transbian = creep. If I had run in a 99% TIF circle like most other gendie fandoms tended to be, I might have trooned because I never saw the other side.

That's such a horrible experience nonna, sorry you had to go through that. I was on idoltwt as well as a young teen but surprisingly never had a single TIM mutual, only other women. I saw all the Andrea Ritsu and cybershoujo stuff unfold from the sidelines and like you started to realize TIMs were creeps because most of the "women" getting called out for predatory behavior were troons. I sort of tried to shut it down because I was still in my handmaiden phase but even back then I basically figured out the AGP/HSTS distinction.

Looking back it was pretty normal for people to make fun of Andrea Ritsu for adding Nicomaki Tensai to his name but I feel like if a lot of people did it now they'd get called transmisogynistic for making fun of a tranny's name change considering you can't even call a TIM ugly without being accused of being transphobic kek.

This pedo groomer and DestinytoMoon who was the one that made the original "Miku is actually trans" headcanon and turned Miku Mondays into "Mikusona" (racewashed) Mondays have been the bane of this character. She's never recovered since from being a mouthpiece. I hate that the entire fandom around her is memes or politics now and "she can be anything you want her to be!" and not that she can sing whatever you want her to sing, and her looks change depending on the song's story or intention, she wasn't meant to be a mascot for your representation or for Israel and Palestine shitflinging online.

Hatsine Miku is a drawing with no real story to her, her age is a tacked on note at best. She could have been 43 and look the same because it's an abstraction of a person. The twins maybe you have more of an argument with but they could again just slap on a higher number and it's suddenly fine because mallets and flat chested women exist, but I do get some pedos like the underage part specifically because it's a power thing and always has been, but with anime character designs that don't really have a set story age is a projection at best

>but there can be some genuine discussion where we can discuss certain problematic elements in fan-fiction or depictions of characters.
Somewhat related, but out of boredom I looked at a favorite character tag on AO3 and read some fics with various ratings (I haven't gotten invested in a fandom in 5 years or read fic often in 8), and has anyone else noticed more IRL porn tropes in X rated fics more in the last 5 years? It's not a surprise to me because a lot of sex scenes are written by virgins, but I'm used to seeing anatomically incorrect shit like making female orgasms squirting by default after being fingered or PIV in moid fic, not by women too. There's also how so much BDSM and omegaverse too. I normally follow the "don't like don't read" mantra but it's gone from being just a niche to almost every ship being into choking and restraints.

with them their design as a whole looks younger than the other vocaloids, it's not just because of chest size or height. and everyone knows the "she's really 50000 years old" thing is just an excuse, those types of characters are still tagged as loli and shota.

Yeah I’ve shipped several OT3s of Attack on Titan characters before. The show is set up with some characters developing strong bonds with eachother in groups of 3 (Eren Mikasa Armin, Reiner Berthold Annie, Levi Hanji Erwin, Connie Jean Sasha) so why not imagine the characters having threesomes with eachother since they’re all hot?

I also feel the bar was way higher back then, weebs who were into anime because of its artistic merits weren't usually into shonen shit or seasonal garbage, they liked obscure artsty anime like Mind Game or Nekojiru sou.

Vocaloids are a special case because they do get physically altered in age too depending on the setting, including the twins, but the idea got lost when the trannoid in >>1986742 started complaining that aging them up to make adult songs (about any sexual theme) was pedophilia, all while trying to diddle teenage girls in the bandori fandom.

Like jfc can you people stop shitting up my otps and actually meet somebody in real life and date them so you can comprehend what actual eroticism is? AO3 should have a critic review section kek.

The more awkward fic trope is an author clearly projecting her trauma onto characters who wouldn't act or talk like that. Like although I have no issue with this type of thing, to post it to a public fanfiction archive feels like a cry for help and all I want to do is suggest professional help in the comments section which feels insensitive and dismissive in the moment. (It's even more awkward when the author actually TELLS the audience that in the summary but at least I know not to click.)

Also I even came across a Death Note fic by chance lately and then started reading it just because it didn't having choking in it, but get this! It was implied that the characters had been meeting up for sex for a while, but then had never done basic sex acts before! And then started moaning like crazy whilst saying hentai grade shit like (actual word for word) "Such a cute little slut, I bet you're wet for me already." and "Don't tease me! You– you're d-doing it on purpose, you're so mean, I–" It was so fucking cringe I wanted to flame the author like it was 2009. I went to her tumblr page and she was one of those pro hardcore-bdsm retards who claim "the submissive is in control and the dom is actually just forcing himself to go along with it!!" Like. What. She was 28 but I couldn't tell if she'd even had sex or not.

I honestly want to restrict these people's internet access and make them read 3 years worth of novels and get boyfriends or girlfriends before they even pick up a pen. God. I know fandom has always been "top 10% is good, ignore the rest" but nowadays it feels like only 3% or 5% is good. Mumble grumble.

I know this isn't directly related to fandom but I think it fits here, it reflects how both a certain section of fandom and actual academia tends to discuss media, stripping away the original context and assigning their own retarded meanings to make it actually being about homophobia, racism(in a purely american context), transgenderism etc.

"It's been teaching white people (women) how to be karens" "she's so entitled" it's literally a little girl. She also gets so frightened in the end she jumps off a window and she either gets scolded, laughed at or hurts herself. She's not treated as some hero nor is she ever coddled by the bears, and implying the animals in the story are brown people is something else.

>Princess and Knight formatting where A and B serve C together as a team of sorts.
>Benefit Spice formatting where A and B are in a relationship but are friends with C and C sometimes joins in on the fun. This is peak when A and B have both dated C at different points in time.
I don't think I've ever shipped an OT3 in the way that is formatted in zoomer shipping styles of this era that usually follow the usual fluffy wuffy poly. I don't know, I just don't like OT3s where each member is in love with each other and are genuinely committed. OT3's are only good when it's either a entirely same-sex coupling or an MMF coupling with the woman as the 'leader' of the OT3. A lot of the time I hate it because if it's a MMF OT3 then the woman in the ship is reduced to some mommy cuckold servant observer for the two males. Though a lot of the time, OTP tend to be better than OT3s and when it comes down to it, a lot of OT3s are usually just for smut purposes.

There are various female anime figures based on original illustrations that aren't sexualized at all or way less porny looking than Sonico. Personally I love the Sleeping Beauty one but it's a bit much so I never got it.

All I remember was their DnD podcast has a stereotypical gay guy character with a troon (TIM) twin, I was almost surprised he was dating a man in the story and not a stunning and brave transbian.

As someone who used to be a casual fan I'd say currently they are at about 40% of their popularity. Definitely less popular now but it's also more consistent with viewership. However the fandom has reached a point where they've recognised certain things about the Mcelroys. Like it's become obvious that they no longer enjoy DnD despite those episodes always being their most popular series. Also there's a general dislike for Travis, he embodies every stereotype about a male feminist, he comes across as creepy and posts picrel on thirst-traps and criticizing him always results in a canned response about "he's a cis-white men who wasn't aware of his privilege', which is frustrating to deal with

Perhaps unpopular but I agree with the twitter OP. I grew up reading the naruto manga before eventually branching out to other mainstream shonens and it was night and day. There really isn’t fanservice of the underage female characters in naruto. That shouldn’t be praiseworthy, I know. Kishimoto is still a misogynistic moid, but somehow he created genuinely interesting and complex female characters. (The problem is he also wrote them to be moid-obsessed and then irrelevant in part 2, maybe because of the backlash). I actually think it’s a moid psyop that the female naruto characters are bad. I still remember how much moids hated sakura because she wasn’t “waifu material.” Kishimoto himself mentioned that his editor said sakura wasn’t “cute” enough, but kishimoto didn’t think female protagonists needed to just be cute. Based, honestly. I love “unlikeable” female characters

? Where?? Every single female character in naruto exists only to serve the men, with no plot relevance or desires of their own. Men only didn't see sakura as waifu material because she's THAT fucking annoying. She's so sexist and badly written that even MEN draw the line somewhere, kek. Other mangaka may be horndogs and fall into sexist tropes here and there, but Kishimoto is easily one of the worst when it comes to writing female characters as human beings, imo.

Not until part 2. In part 1, she has an interesting plotline where she’s underestimated and belittled by her own family while simultaneously a member of a oppressive familial structure that essentially enslaves her own cousin, who she has to face off against despite certain defeat, showing her resilience
>tenten has NO personality
Agreed, but tenten is a minor character in a massive cast. I still liked her kek
>temari maybe could have had potential but hardly gets screentime
Yes
>making sakura so boy crazy comes off as stereotypical too
I get this point, but I think there’s so much more to sakura’s characterization that’s missing from this. She comes from a normal, middle class family and becomes a better person in how she treats naruto (who’s basically a street urchin). She struggles with her desire to conform to feminine standards and also be a kunoichi (female ninja). She’s intelligent and empathetic, and she learns and grows. She’s a foil to both naruto and sasuke. I love her. I could write and essay defending sakura. Part 2 was definitely a character assassination, though

ntayrt yeah, I tried to rewatch it last year but it was hard to deal with that scene when team 7 members have to introduce themselves to Kakashi, and both Sasuke and Naruto seem to have deep motivations and actual goals, but Sakura is just portrayed as a brainless boy-crazy teen, even Kakashi says something like "girls her age are more interested in boys than into training" ew, she is the only girl in the team, just says a lot about how Kishimoto sees girls. He could have created an actual backstory to her, given her actual goals besides Sasuke, or given her any depth but nope. Sasuke is her only motivation in life.

Sakura defense anon here, but I highly suggest reading the manga if you want to revisit naruto! It’s much better. As far as sakura not having a dark backstory like sasuke and naruto, that’s what I like about her. She’s just a normal girl, not from any powerful ninja family, who eventually becomes one of the most powerful shinobi in the world. She’s a foil to sasuke and naruto, like I said earlier. Not trying to infight though, I get it if anons can’t overlook kishimoto’s misogynist writing. It definitely ruins things. I’m done, sorry to derail kek

ayrt thanks for the tip nona, I might re-read the manga actually since I'm revisiting all anime/manga I grew up with (I don't know if it's nostalgia or simply frustration with modern anime kek). And I don't even hate Sakura, I'm more frustrated than anything with Kishimoto for throwing the girls aside in the name of making boys appear more interesting. I liked her fight vs Sasori tho.

Somehow both the retarded underage fandom and the official manga created for this game wildly manage to misinterpret the entire series. You got characters that are clearly abusive, manipulative or downright retarded with each other and somehow people will try to spin it as an uwu story. There's a million things to shit on about the manga and how it's a direct downgrade from the game's unique artstyle but the author's constant need to sexualize random women during actual brutal and heart-wrenching death scenes of completely different characters is grounds for ridicule

And that's why the degeneration of his female characters offendeds me so much more. They were interesting and had varied fighting styles.

They "weren't there" as in they're a zoomer or too young to really understand or have researched the point and history of shoujo. They look at it through a current lense of omg Usagi was 14!!!! Rather than the fact that women we're writing for other girls and women and that sometimes you can't look at media, especially older media with such a broad brush. It's frustrating because the 90s for example were a weird time for anime and manga it was really booming. Things were different and it's almost pointless to look at these old shows through today's lense. These video essayists who are so obnoxious.. The media exist. Sorry if you think they're problematic.

This is something that often pops up in fandom circles. Ever since the days of tumblr, people can't despise a ship just cause, they need to find a valid reason to do so. In the past you could have a NOTP solely cause it was a rival ship of your OTP, or simply disliked one half of the pair. Now you need to justify it by saying it's an age gap, or incest, or toxic, or by saying thay one of the characters is "obviously gay". Cause if you don't do that people get suspicious and accuse you of homophobia or misogyny or biphobia (my favorite one kek).

This whole "shonen manga need to have better written female characters" argument reminded me of something. We've talked about it in several thread, about how a lot of shojo manga were focused on action and adventure, had fight scenes, like plenty of shonen manga even though the presentation usually wasn't the same (as in, little to no powerscaling or tournament), but nowadays we have similar manga labelled as shonen manga purely for marketing reasons since they mostly attract female readers. But it's been a while since I paid attention to recent series, so maybe I'm wrong? Are there recent series that have fight scenes, action, mysteries, etc. that are published in shojo magazines in Japanese nowadays? Excluding super long series that are still ongoing like Akatsuki no Yona (I haven't read it but my friends told me it wasn't just romance). If I want to read about well written characters I tend to not look for them in shonen manga but at the same time I can't see myself just saying "if you want that just read shojo and josei manga" to others because sometimes you just want to see characters just beating the shit out of each other with cool, flashy martial art techniques and some of the shojo manga I can think of are old and don't have official or fan translations online.

HoTD is an exception imo because it's just so fucking hilarious idk I can't take the show seriously. When you think about the Targaryen family how can you not laugh at that.

so despite what twittertards say, female characters and f/f ships will always be popular because men enjoy them. lesbian relationships will always have an edge in media depiction, people who enjoy them will never catch real flack or criticism, etc. it's ironically a sign of misogyny when male ships and male-dominated ips (stuff like touken ranbu, i'm speaking from the perspective of a weeb into weeb-adjacent things like alien stage and mihoyo) aren't popular and are shat on

I don't like many of the books shilled on booktok and I'm extremely jaded with the state of the publishing industry nowadays but shitting on women who are just reading books that appeal to them for entertainment is such low hanging fruit.

It's the result of peak-tumblr's culture of both having to format all opinions as an argumentative essay with solid points and shit, and the need to okay everything unless you can make the better argument. You used to get shit for just saying 'I don't care for/dislike/hate x' if you didn't disguise it as a grander discussion or analysis (with bonus points if you could reference academic ideas and social issues).

There's also the matter of retards thinking that you excluding something by having a NOTP etc is a personal attack on them because they like that thing, and if you're out there saying it's something you don't want to see, then what you really don't want to see is them and that's violence.

The double standards are fucking insane. I will gladly agree booktok is cringey junk though. Women who see it as mindless fun like sexy TV shows have a decent point, but everyone could use to consume some real literature and valuable nonfiction. That said, if they view it as separate from more meaningful reading idrc if they consume a bunch of sexy junk, most of it is harmless except for the real bottom of the barrel stuff that is definitely gross.

nta but you do know that you can read books that are written to an adult standard that are also fun and trashy? Hell, there are middle grade books with better prose than this.

Genre has little to do with it as well, the writing is this quality because these romance/dark romance/romantasy books are churned out incredibly quickly with little to no editing, or are self-published. Do women not deserve better quality than that? Do we deserve only slop designed to make a quick buck and be forgotten, replaced by another equally (or worse) version a few weeks later, with even more corners cut?

My point was how anons was judging a whole genre based of some authors and holding it to a higher standard.
Of course i want high-quality but i also won't judge someone who reades sloopy writing because women are free to amjoy what they want. Although i know "free to enjoy" is a foreigb word to many women and especially to ones in fandoms due to conformity and only doung what others tell you.

You're right about that. A lot of these books are repurposed fanfics as well. Publishers are really looking for bland tropey slop nowadays. We deserve better entertainment but I don't think shitting on the women who enjoy them is the best way to critique the industry. IMO self-published can be hit or miss.

In my opinion, booktok books are just repackaged and slightly devolved Danielle Steel type slop. She's written over 190 books, I doubt many of them are well edited or even just decently written in general. I used to read Harlequin romances when I was bored and honestly most of them were hot shit and not much better than current books when compared, the only difference is that there's excessive and unneeded edge to a lot of recent slop and much of it is derivative.

ayrt and yeah, a lot of them are just fanfics with the serial numbers filed off (though I think it's interesting that these ones never seem to belong to that slim category of fanfics that actually are high enough quality that they feel like reading a real, published novel kek, though that's likely due to the types of authors behind these things), with the worst ones (that I'm aware of) originating from rpf wattpad fics.

I also feel like going for booktok as a whole is misguided, as the people on there who just want to read basic trashy YA for fun get lumped in with/overshadowed by the people frothing over McHandsome rapist stalker book boyfriends who entrap the female mc financially and through pregnancy etc and who openly admit they can't get through reading a book if there's no sex/'spice' in the first quarter of the novel (tbh that's the main thing that 'concerns' me, as you shouldn't need porn just to get through a book/any media, really)

At least those people have a reading habit and can pick up better books more easily than the average doomscroller since they do have a habit and are likely in libraries/bookstores more often.

disney killed the franchise because it was competing with their then upcoming descendants series and then took the disney princesses license from mattel, which made them do budget cuts that led to mh g2. some also say that mattel self sabotaged mh since it was outselling their golden child barbie.

i wish eah came back so badly but i am not a fan of mh g3's direction so i'd would prefer if it was left untouched. i find some dolls by themselves cute but it's like mattel is now trying to compensate that the og line wasn't squeaky clean wOkE by adding bullshit rep like nb frankie or forced nationalities (since they're non human dolls i prefer them to be nationality-less so anyone could headcanon any doll as anything).

anyways dollfags, how do we feel about the doll fandom? i don't like it when it turns too activism virtual signal-y, like complaining when some rando rebodies a curvy doll in a thin body or reroots a curly haired doll with straight hair. they're plastic pieces of merchandise, not some sacred symbol of culture, let people do whatever they want with their belongings ffs.

NTA just go to the “androgynous female lead” tag on mangaupdates, skip the obvious coomerslop and you will get your straight gnc woman romances.
If some are still shit, well exactly because it’s not revolutionary and has good works, okay works, and slop like any other m/f dynamic people like. And some of the people who make these still have shitty ideas about gnc women and even lesbians. It’s funny how there are way more m/f romances with gnc women than there are in f/f despite how often people claim the latter is ‘stereotypical’. Some of these straight girls actually look more butch than any of the “butches” we get in GL.

Can't speak for your friend, but a lot of people assume that cynicism and 'dark' (edgy) stuff is automatically more profound or intellectual than something optimistic or even neutral and lacking in anything shocking. Some people also recognise that the things in that kind of media that make them uncomfortable or feel confronted are fetishistic/otherwise gross and prefer to elevate it rather than admit to it. Others also put too much value on media that makes them 'feel something', awarding it a higher grade than it otherwise deserves just because it provoked a reaction from them, or showed them something new (to them). It's kinda depressing, but a lot of people engage with media like this.

For another example, this time literary fiction, there's a book called A Little Life that's honestly no better than a random trauma-porn fanfic (you know those kinds where the whump goes off the rails to an almost ridiculous extent kek), and it got treated as far more profound than it actually is, mostly because it blunders through a bunch of over the top, traumatic events and made people cry with its ending.

They never write fanfics and barely draw fanart because even they can't bring themselves to give enough of a shit about it.

While my example isn't exactly about fandom, I've seem similar thing happening in fandoms.
People seem concerned with getting some label for themselves, but at the same time, they don’t want to put effort in maintaining truth to the label selected.
Recently, a tweet went viral in my native language, It was something along the lines of “normalize being a cinephile who doens’t know actors/directors names”, and… There is nothing wrong with just saying that you like watching movies without going for further information, you are not worth less because of It, but also doen’t make sense for someone who doens’t know basic information about cinema to call themselves a cinephile.

My thoughts exactly, I could like a lot more of hetships if they didn't always woobify the female character and reduce her into a blushing mess losing all her personality and identity. I especially can't stand it when the mean and bitchy women get this treatment, it's fucking infuriating and stops me from browsing fanart of the m/f ships I actually like. How even other women seem to be allergic to female characters that have a personality other than wifey preparing chicken tendies or being a meat hole for sex is beyond me, even in supposed "femdom" ships the woman has no personality. I can't enjoy m/m or f/f ships that have no chemistry, the same applies to m/f. Just being a man and a woman isn't enough to fill in the gaps.

>the point is that "GNC" characters from japanese works (or media inspired by Japanese oteme) are not really GNC
Anon didn’t say that though, her point was that having GNC women in straight romances is “revolutionary” >>1988955
>how many straight romances have gnc women as the lead? The average fictional tomboy is just a super feminine woman with short hair.
The women in the examples I posted are not just “super feminine woman with short hair” and majority are drawn androgynously in a way that wouldn’t appeal to moid gaze. If a woman who wears short hair, avoids makeup/feminine clothes, and likes wearing mens’ clothes doesn’t count as GNC, I’d like to hear the criteria. One of the heroines in that compilation is straight up a lesbian who’s a takarazuka fangirl, likes dressing masculine, and has pushed away all the dresses and feminine norms her mom’s been trying to force on her since childhood. I think I can confidently call her gnc kek. She ends up crying because the girls she dates never treat her seriously as a love interest. She detests men but this is a straight manga, so the author makes up a plot where’s she’s forced into a boys’ school to get over her hatred of men and eventually fall for a boy. Seeing this, then seeing stories where straight gnc girls complain about how popular they are with girls, just plain hurt lol. Idc if you like straight couples, I like some too. But it’s not revolutionary and still adheres to certain norms.

>to me it's completely superficial and based on shallow aesthetics rather than traits and passions.

I’m not sure how you can generalize several manga like that, but okay. Still doesn’t make the girls not GNC(maybe some fall into feminization tropes, but others still genuinely prefer to dress masculine). GNC is just gender-nonconforming, so expressing oneself outside gender norms. I think you’d have a point if we were talking about butches, but GNC is a broader term that encompasses more people. Even the original conversation was just about “tomboyish women” who ended up getting called GNC >>1988628

Now if you meet an "anime fan" they probably only watched 1 30+ ep anime at best and are always chasing the next FOTM slop. Also these people seem to be too lazy to even try reading manga because their attention spans are fried and will genuinely get mad if people try to recommend it to them.

Why are anons shitting on these by comparing fan gay ships to canon (partially) hetero ships? Most canon ships just suck ass in general, why do you think everyone malds over Ichigo getting with Orihime instead of Rukia? People constantly shit on mangaka/writers/whatever for writing the story "wrong" or having "bad taste" even though it's their creation. The only funny thing is that there are rarely every any fanon straight ship content in comparison to the shitty canon straight/the popular gay ships. For example if we look at dunmeshi, there's a notable amount of romantic Namari/Kiki fanart but almost nothing of Namari and Kaka, unless it's her with the both of them even though they're exactly the same development wise. There are tons of garbage fanart and shitting flanderization/woobification of male characters as well, the difference is that they have so much more content that it's more likely good artists/fic writers will create something. I don't even like Laios/Marcille and I fucking hate Jinshi, it's just disingenuous to compare something with tons of good content made by women (most gay ships) to something canon but with generally worse fan content, with a lot of it made by moids and dismissing it as bad

Kind of off-topic, but I think most writers of non-romance genres are just bad at writing romance in general. I think most canon ships would be better-received if the authors bothered to give it the proper amount of development, but romance often feels tacked-on, if that makes sense?

Apparently Japan isn't as strict with their demographic labeling. So something like Black Butler technically runs in a 'shonen' magazine but everyone knows it's fans are mostly women. So some of the discussion might be people talking past each other because stuff is defined differently or because the definitions aren't as strict.

Otherwise I've heard its due to shonen magazines making concerted efforts to pick up additional demographics to be more General Audiences. Meanwhile shoujo magazines didn't and they began to focus primarily on running romances. So series that would have previously run in shoujo magazines now have to run in shonen mags because shoujo magazines aren't interested in their pitches. Currently Weekly Shonen Jump is running Witch Watch and Akane Banashi and Ruri Dragon, all of which would have been at home in shoujo magazines, but they aren't.

>why do you think everyone malds over Ichigo getting with Orihime instead of Rukia?
Kek thanks for reminding me how much i hate that fat retard. Rukia also suffers from sexist writing which is to be expected as kubo is a degenerate scrote but is ultimately the better character compared to that lardwhale bangmaid. I'm not surprised nor do i care about misogyny in shounen slop because it's to be expected but orihime is a downright disgusting character, even in the earlier arcs she acted like a retarded child who did nothing else besides her breasts bouncing boobly. Somehow though it's weirdly fitting for that manchild ichigo to subconsciously not be over his moms death and marry a woman closely resembling her while freud laughs in purgatory or some shit. I remember reading something that orihime is based on what kubo's ideal woman is (ew) which makes me wish that his bloodline would've been wiped out by hiroshima radiation poisoning long ago so maybe we could've had one less disgusting moid in this world at the expense of the few hot bishies that spawned from him. Also i hate that he inserts his degenerate fetishes into every chapter in regards to orihime, i think i'd have less of an issue with her if he stopped doing that. It's great if he likes sped women with orangutan tits, but normal people such as myself don't especially since most bleach fans are adults now. Thank god wsj overworked his ugly ass kek

Yes, that's my point. I always use Black Butler as an example because it's so blatant it's meant for teenage girls and young women. Now that these target demographics aren't as strict as they used to be, it's a bit frustrating to see people talking about shojo, shonen, seinen and josei manga as if they were genres and not target demographics. It makes discussions and giving recommandations to other complicated.

>Akane Banashi

Isn't that a manga about rakugo? I haven't read it but thinking about it, I'm starting to wonder how older shojo manga would be labelled if they were recent and still ongoing. Can you imagine something like Attacker You or Glass Mask in the shonen jump? This is cracking me up, the characters were taking volley ball and theater so seriously in these series, from what I remember watching on tv as a kid, you'd think their lives were threatened over it. It was so over the top I can actually imagine it. Haikyuu is basically Attacker You but with guys anyway, from the only episodes I've seen. Even the MC looks like a genderbend of the MC in Attacker You. And even then, I do remember a lot of boys watching that kind of stuff because it was on TV and they were waiting for episodes of other series and ended up liking them, especially the old anime about sports.

Aside from that, I wonder how age demographics also come into play in all of this. Sure the shonen jump is for teenage boys but it seems like everyone reads it, and not just because they're following old series from when they were kids. You have recent series that are really popular with adults like JJK when these people were already adults after all.

This goes to a deeper issue, so I've said it before but I believe sexuality is innate and a straight man or woman will always be straight and whatever same-sex media they try to create(whether it's m/m or f/f) will always carry those lingering traits of their inherent straightness. and there's nothing wrong with that but the problem is that fandom-induced brain-rot has given these people a phobia of "cis-het relationships" so they always have to find some way to make it "queer".

Agree, and while I understand that 'not like other girls' used to refer to a very specific personality type that was grating and focused on contrasting the NLOG's difference (and therefore better-ness) to said 'other girls', I feel like you rarely see that actual personality type compared to how often any woman who is either minding her own business going against the mould or who expresses discomfort towards femininity etc being called NLOGs. It's just another way for women to bully each other into socially conforming imo, at this point.

On the topic of fandom though, I hear female characters get called NLOGs a lot these days if the character expresses any form of dissatisfaction with her lot in life that puts her at odds with feminine stereotypes. For example, a side comment about how a character has no interest in or doesn't like things like fashion or makeup will cause some female readers to arc up as if it's a direct insult to them and all womenkind's potential interest and enjoyment of those things, even if the comment is completely neutral and just about the specific character and not a broad judgement. You'll then see fan content of said character 'learning to embrace her femininity' or whatever by wearing pretty dresses and putting on makeup etc (or having a feminine character 'fix' her with a makeover).

I think it can partly be a problem of expecting all female main characters to be for self-inserting, so anything that hampers that ticks people off who were expecting a husk to inhabit (you also see similar negative reactions towards female characters in general who have strong, messy personalities, and I feel like this is a part of why having good female characters with a lot of depth is such an uphill battle, as some will react very hostilely towards women who aren't bland vessels, but that's a whole other topic). For what its worth, I see this a lot with female readers who move from stuff like YA romances (which are built for self inserting most of the time) to female character studies, so sometimes it's just due to being used to one kind of fiction over the other.

You're right, the vast majority of those "me vs other girls" comics came from teenage girls in the 2010s who were outcasts, being into anime and comics wasn't as socially acceptable as today and best they were were ignored and at worst they were actively mocked and bullied.

You can't, and assuming someones sexuality from their crappy fictional writing is silly.
Treating sexuality like a sacred cow that can never be altered is just forcing yourself to obey the delusional idea that men are always dominant and women are always submissive and there's no challenging or changing that. It's a form of misogyny and homophobic tradthot delusion imo with the goal being to keep women subjugated and men subjugating. It's counter intuitive to believe so just as trannies believe a woman with short hair and a lack of bimbofied hyperfeminine stereotypes is a man. Same coin, different side. On the other hand forcing anyone to do anything they don't want is also tranny logic, specifically male, woman raping tranny logic. The slop of this shipping picrel in the post makes no sense and as usual is using sexual orientation to discriminate in some made up retarded way as retards do. >>1991456 but the logic of the poster in the picrel is the natural conclusion of boxing people into fixed categories like pokemon that that anon is ironically arguing to maintain.

I think it's more about most people just not being skillful or thoughtful enough creators to remove themselves and their experiences/expectations from their work when they need to be. Some of you will always be in what you create, but a lot of people work from a very self-absorbed and indulgent lens– it's why characters get warped from canon to fit broader stereotypes that flatter the fan creator's interest, and why mundane settings like high school and coffeeshop AUs will always be common. Skilled creators who think about and understand what they're doing when they make something won't make the same seemingly obvious faux pas, and often have different motivations than ones who just want to write an indulgent OOC shipfic or whatever. It's all about the goals and execution.

I'm not even saying it's necessarily a bad thing either, it's just the reality of fiction, published or fan-made. It has kind of been made worse though by the need to hyper-categorise everything into identity boxes or tropes, or how there's the idea of Own Voices knocking about where you can't write something unless you are also that something, which in my experience just encourages and justifies laziness when it comes to looking outside yourself or researching things since you gotta stay in your own lane and all that.

Sorry for getting on me soapbox kek, but this shit is so tiring and annoying, both as a creator and audience in general

You don't always, because a lot of the issues with fanfic is an issue with bad writing in general. I have no problem with straight (or OSA-leaning bisexuals) people writing gay stories for the same reason I don't mind white people writing about characters of a different race, but back when I read fanfic and original stories written by all kinds of people, I developed a pattern recognition of when the character dynamics are similar to hetero relationships (feminine man as a stand-in for a woman or a butch acts like a man). I notice a lot of these writers insert homophobia or gay culture in settings that don't have it too. Ex., canons that are shown as a utopia or having no racism or sexism will somehow be homophobic, and assuming that bears and twinks or butch/femme is the norm instead of a subculture or slang. Confusing BDSM terms with sex positions too, but everyone does that now with porn and fetishes being mainstream. But this isn't even foolproof, because a lot of fanfic I wrote as a lesbian teen had tropes like inserting homophobia as venting. I've noticed that the good gay fiction from straight people tend to treat it "apolitically" and more about two people in love than social commentary.

I've seen the degeneracy that is booktok and the straight up romanticization of grown men having sex with underaged girls, group sex, incest, violence, pumped out by female authors like Penelope Douglas. It's "fun" and "fantasy" to you, but what it really does is brainwash young girls into thinking they want to explore those concepts, and gives any male who is aware of these stories the impression that "a lot of girls like that sort of thing." Not everyone who reads these books is going to have the life experience or the forethought to understand the difference between fantasy and real life, and it is genuinely harmful. Write whatever you want I guess, censorship isn't what I'm advocating for, but have some self awareness that while not the SAME or AS HARMFUL as actual abuse, it certainly does cause harm and in some cases is a pipeline to actual abuse happening.

I've read studies about the impact dark romance has on the mental health of young girls as far back as the early 2000s, and that was about books like Twilight. Content has only gotten more extreme and to pretend like teenage and tween girls reading these novels is normal or healthy is willfully ignorant. I've seen over a dozen of these books written from the perspective of a girl just on the cusp of 18 being sexually abused by male authority figures and these are the big books on the booktok recommended list. You can't keep moving the goal post so that you don't feel any guilt for participating in a system that fundamentally causes harm. Just because it's not on a scale you can observe or have knowingly experienced, doesn't mean it isn't true. It's not a competition about who is worst, it's about the safety of girls first and foremost. There is really nothing to be defensive about.

Or at least they shouldn't be consumed by minors imo. I'm not sure how bad it gets because I don't consume that type of content myself, but I agree it's too prevalent.

Pack it up anons this shit yall reading is degenarete and on the same level as pedo lolisho.

Actually no you are not even allowed to read normal or fluffy het because its all bland shit that reinforces stereotypes

Oh so now you think you can read yaoi?? Well you can't bitch, yaoi has het dynamics and the uke is a self-insert, omegaverse is proof of that. Stop watching yaoi you porn addicts.


Congrats you have finally stopped watching all erotica altogether, oh you masturbate…you better stop that since that is porn sick behavior too you degenarate.


OH! Erm…you are asking what my opinion on loli/shota is? I actually don't think it's bad and i don't think it's harmful since it's drawn. I bully any retard who dares to criticize lolisho, people are sooo sensitive, ain't nothing wrong with lolisho.

Oh!!! You are calling me a hypocrite for defending drawn pedo while i am not allowing women to read any erotica?? Well listen here….YOU DEGENERATE BITCH, PORN ADDICT, MALEDOM SHITTER, FUJO , TIF….you are causing harm to all women, you are a pickme..no the hentai i watch of little girls is totally not bad…no i will never be on the same level as you dirty fujos and book readers(unhinged infight bait)

exactly, it's so tiring and just derails any potentially interesting discussions in this thread, what with majority of fandom activity being by women. We all know the bottomless well of male depravity, and not every conversation needs to refer back to it or revolve around men in general. But hey, guess some anons can't help but rely on the 'protection' offered by men, even if its by men being vile enough to shield them from criticism of their own technically less-egregious interests.

They use the 'but men are worse' as a shield or deflection for their own interests, to avoid actually arguing their point properly, or to derail a genuine conversation, which is kinda ironic because for as terrible as they say men are or however much anons might also say they hate them in the same breath, they're still using the spectre of a man for protection or centring the conversation back on men.

Ryona is pain, sometimes emotional/mental pain, and crying is obviously a part of that. Really, emotional pain is a huge aspect of it.

I swear to god, some of the people infighting about booktok do not fucking read. Booktok type books have existed since the 70s the only difference is that they're edgier and slightly shittier in quality after the big YA boom, and before that when the fantasy genre was getting popular you couldn't go two or three books without the self insert main character having sex with a teenager or the equivalent of a 50000 year old vampire loli or talking about how sexy she is. You also have the whole splatterpunk genre in the 90s which has been rearing its ugly head again in recent years, which I'd argue is a hundred times worse and I'd rather teenagers read Twilight than fucking Cows like they've been doing. Yes, some booktok books shouldn't have been published and/or marketed to a younger audience and easily influenced young teen girls shouldn't be reading YA until they can think critically but using a minority of zoomers as a example of how abhorrent the genre is when majority of the themes and romantising of unsavoury subjects has already existed for decades and has been accessible to younger audiences for the same amount of time, and when millenials and older zoomers are the ones writing and reading it anyways and should be marketing their shit better is fucking retarded as shit. Also Stephen King is required reading in some schools, and I think reading about a eight year covered in feces and masturbating or a first page filled with a description of a child's dead body after being raped and murdered is more damaging to read as a teenager but yeah it's the hockey porn that's the issue.

AYRT most post early 2000s YA is just very juvenile Hunger Games or generic fantasy-esque stories, quirky teen romances that are obviously written by 35 year olds or mildly sexy fairies/vampires/insert mythological creature. Like the example you've given (also not a burger), I feel like kids are often exposed to worse within the curriculum (e.g for some reason most of the books I needed to read in my last few years in high school were about or featured CSA) and the concerntrolling and hand wringing is just annoying.

I could say your defending shit like picrel, cause we have a large group of fandom-rotten retards who genuinely believe that sexuality and sexual organs are just something you can swap or remove.

SK is such a disgusting man. I will never understand how an ugly male who does barely anything else besides getting high and writing about women and children getting raped and child orgies gets so much praise and is actually regarded as a genius. Not to mention that he's a troon supporter - but of course he is, he's also a pornsick coomer who enjoys writing about women being tortured/raped, no wonder he has empathy for other pornsick coomers who enjoy showing off their hard dicks to little girls.

Tbf het stuff is more difficult to talk about due having to balance whether the female lead is old enough but not a fetish, not sexualized, has agency, not a manic pixie dream girl, is still likable, is cute in her own way (that's just me). I just forsake the trouble and follow whatever shit other people are talking about because that won't have as much problems, most of the time that shit is gay because the "measurement of woman good or bad" doesn't matter.

Honestly I feel like I see this primarily on LC, in most fandoms I see, even bland female characters will have circles of passionate female fans who love them just for being cute/cool/funny.

yeah that's definitely representative of hetero content and you're totally actually interested in that. anyway

het content for women is also largely indistinguishable from het content for men unless you're strictly talking porn. and even then i've seen some male-tier coom shit from yumes (see everything nyantcha draws) – no hate of course, it's just cringe and boring to me. even outside of outright porn though, like, hetshippers on this very site will discuss their ships and be like "oh my god what if this female character married this guy and had his babies?!" and it's just so dumb and lame kek. it's virtually what a male would say, "what if my waifu had [my] babies?!" nobody gaf except to point out how dull it all is

Their "da scrotes are watching" line comes off as insane. If you can't relax with anime/manga without picturing some moid's erection when you see a female character, something's not right. It's one thing to hate on egregious fanservice/lolibait/coombait characters, it's another to not be able to ignore subtle implications (like an implied het ship) or to not be able to stand hetshit made by women, even the mildest stuff. Yume fics with maledom are cringe but it's still a female fantasy, distinct from a moid's subjectivity.

No, you cope. The mere fact that you think it's impossible for there to be het content without some male gaze is pure cope on your part. Not only is it cope, but it's pure yielding to moid behavior and schizo tier behavior. If a woman makes M/F content for herself and other women and only women then it's not male gaze. Just because males may like that content doesn't make it male gaze. Male gaze only occurs if the content was made in such a way to appeal to men intentionally. I cannot imagine being in such a mindset that you genuinely believe that any and all content featuring heterosexual coupling must pander to moids in some way, even if made by a woman.

Anons who cant understand why other anons dislike most het ships are very obviously the target demographic of 99% of het ships, so they can't understand when other women don't find those dynamics interesting.

it's hetero content. the female mc will always carry that edge of "a girl guys would like". that makes it male gaze, even if unintentional, even if only a little. i've seen men get off to usagi, tohru, sakura, comment on how sexy and appealing the female m/c designs were for random one off visual novels, seen female m/c designs and read "female gaze" plots that were basically the same as male gaze shit because those characters are designed to be in straight romances + be plausibly attractive to men.

i'm not saying fictional men are real men in any way, but if an mc is described as a "cute girl" you must understand that the designer isn't pulling the idea of a cute girl from a hat, they're getting that from male opinions. this is what i mean, you can't really extricate heterosexuality from itself

>>1997126
>Most anons itt who dislike het ships dislike the super basic bland dynamic of cute girl x stoic guy
exactly, but 99% of het ships are just this. boy meets girl. there's no depth to it, they're male/female so they fall in love. maybe there's some plot bullshit surrounding them but that's the crux of it. most women just want to be that bland, attractive girl men scoop up and fawn over. they want the male gaze

this current topic is so fucking stupid you guys. scrotes will scrote no matter what, everyone but feministAnalysis101chan knows this. anyway one of my favorite characters of all time is Nico Robin from One Piece, the coombait weebshit show where all the female characters store their organs in their boobs. despite Oda's misogyny shittening the work's quality, I can use my huge brain to take the parts of the work I value and find meaning in it to appreciate. I love that Robin is an archeologist who overcame her incredibly traumatic childhood where she saw everyone she loved die in front of her eyes when she was 8 and later found the strength to have new hopes and dreams in life. She's also a beast of a fighter and I love it when she uses her powers to make body horror. I love her forever and hope that she has one of the happiest epilogues of the show when One Piece ends.

you're right. where did i say it would? pretty sure i just gave an example of a female character that isn't exactly popular with men as an archetype or as herself. the few pieces of haruhi porn i've seen are usually off model or extremely ooc, to the point of being an oc. mainstream heterosexuality isn't normally cool-headed girl x flouncy frilly boy anyway

I think the difference in ecchi then and…whatever we have today was that everyone was aware that it was perverted, tongue in cheek, often bordering on softcore. Fan service was exactly that. No one (except maybe legitemate weirdos) was trying to convince people that dragon half was for everybody and that it was mainstream. The issue today is that 2deep zoomers and moids try to push that ecchi, lolishit (which is its own category of wrong) and etc are normal everyday shows that should be recommended with no caveats and no issues. It's crazy. I barely hear the term ecchi used anymore compared to the late 90s, early 2000s

This, ecchi has always been a thing. If anything, nowadays it's actually fairly lenient compared to how things used to be. I'm guessing since anime is so mainstream now instead of being hidden in "just for people who like anime enough to find it", more people find series like this.
Iirc the show actually does have a plot of a magical girl battle shounen hidden behind the coom, same as other recent ecchi.

Just replying to you nona, this isn't aimed at you.
I don't feel like finding it right now, sorry, but there's a page in the Starlight's arc where Seiya, I believe (black haired one) laments because he likes Usagi but she'll never love "him" back because he's not "a complete man"/"a real man". This has been a point of contention in moonie spheres since the 90s like you'd said. People sometimes trans wash them and I can see why, but it's stated pretty explicitly in the manga that they're not men and don't feel like men. "He" is only sad about not being a man because he's in love with Usagi and as far as he knows, she's a straight girl in love with Tux mask. As usual, people have a lot to say about an old series with an EXTREMELY detailed and well documented history and an extremely informational fan base.

Well those are normalfags, and in a way there is a point to be made that it's a lot harder to introduce anime to normies because of how horny it is but who cares about normies anyway).

i've been an anime fan for a while and interacted with a bunch of weebs and i definitely feel like it's worse, at least before moids could somewhat grasp that since i'm a woman i won't find that shit amusing and wont share sexual stuff myself but now since being hypersexualized and OF is seen as epic and empowering and a "feminist" thing, it's like they act like if i don't want to share my fetishes online or show any disdain towards hypersexualization, fanservice etc i'm actually a conservative which I didn't use to experience before. they also make the argument that you're kinkshaming them unironically and see it as morally "bad" to say something is degenerate or gross or to keep it to yourself while before I feel like there was more of an understanding that they're degenerates and they just admitted that. nowadays even normier weebs (i'm talking ones who only watched like 100 anime) will tell me about their retarded fetishes and doujin tags and yeah, not ever keep it to themselves in these communities. then they get surprised why women don't want to be around them or why they don't have a gf which i find funny when they're literally repelling every woman in the vicinity by doing this shit and don't even seem to realize it due to how normalized it's become

Ah, i wish this was true. Instead almost all yaoi spaces/communities are filled with some of the worst tifs.
Tif's have literally made mainstream BL communities unbearable to be around because all they do is cause drama, fights, arguments, try to bully others etc.
Personally i wouldn't care that tifs were in the BL community if they stopped being instigators and behaved normally like other readers do but they are control-freaks that always need to be the center of attention, whenever i see someone being rude or starting a argument it always ends up being a tif.
They also take BL stories too seriously and send literal death threats to people who like red-flag toxic yaoi. They are so snarky in general too and will start fights over something as silly as someone not giving them a link to a story they want to read.

It depends on whether they actually do the accent, there's nothing more distracting than a painfully fake and badly done accent. It's fine for a one-off episode, but when it's with recurring characters and you have to listen to them talk like that, it can almost physically hurt. the reason dub actors could do good southern accents is that most of them were from Texas and were filled with part-time actors, now the industry is set in LA and usually filled with former internet "memelords"

The gameplay is genuinely fun, but the progression is extremely slow and the events are rather lackluster so far.

The guys are all rather sweet and the MC is an actual character with a strong personality who banters with the guys instead of an shy uwu retard who has no chemistry with the LIs.

It was more of a general grievance since the topic of gatekeeping came up. I'm talking moreso about things like vns where I thought I met a fan and turns out they had read a mtl version of it or not even read it at all a lot of the time. I wouldn't even mind if they didn't make their whole personality about it or pretended like they read it, some even go as far as pretending like they can read japanese just to look cool to their peers and it's weird from my perspective as someone who actually knows jp. People here only seem to not be an asshole about it if it's something they personally like though ("who cares it's shit anyways" etc) due to an inherent lack of intelligence and empathy but keep in mind it's always gonna be contradictory to be defending gatekeeping on an imageboard of all places
