I'm a bit perplexed. I checked the tags again, and sure enough, the lolicon tag is there. Why is the fact that it involves a child something that seems to surprise people?

^I completely get where you're coming from. The feeling of being far too down from being scolded by a teacher (or any higher-up) isn't something that is unusual at all. I don't really know how to go about making you feel better, but at the very least I can empathize with you on that front. Keep on keepin' on.

^ BookWalker has a nice selection of digital manga. There's an international version as well for English-language manga. The FAQ doesn't mention anything about their books being unavailable in some countries and I haven't had any trouble buying from them.

Whoa, I didn't know this existed. It's been such a pain trying to find a place to actually support these authors without having to pay excessive shipping and import taxes, not to mention the long time it takes to ship physical copies. Thanks!

Since we have pairing tags anyways for the really popular characters, maybe just tag some of the works and trust the user to just use the pairing tag from then on if they want to continue looking for more works involving that character? This could also still work for original characters such as the ones with 23; just trust them to use artist: 23 for future searches.

something that has the sole purpose of making people enjoy porn more

This seems to me like something that could describe the word 'fetish' in general; just replace the word 'porn' with 'sex' when it comes to irl situations. So I suppose it does fit the bill when describing futanari works.

Also I apologize for continuing the derailment, I'll promptly stop now.

Also, on the futa thing: I honestly dislike it because I see it as a fetish and not as a representation of trans people.

I've heard a similar argument about yuri as a whole, that "real lesbians" always present themselves as butch and femme, and that yuri manga featuring two especially girly women in a relationship are playing exclusively to straight male fetishes

srs

Huh, is the implication here then that there is a subset of futanari work that isn't basically porn or titillation in some way? Without any NSFW content, and just the sole recognition or mention of the fact that the protagonist or other main characters is a futanari?

So it's kind of weird where while it didn't tag any popular characters with dark skin to avoid overuse, it still feels overused on this one artist considering that they all seem to feature the same character.

I don't know about tagging any certain characters, but I think more variety would be nice. Checking the tag out for the first time, it seems that most of it comes from the same artist: Author: 23.

Oh c'mon now, I check the replies over at the manga thread and somebody already managed to trigger the mod. Is it just me or has there been more incidents requiring mod intervention in the past weeks than there have been months ago? Is the holiday season making people more antsy?

Japan loves strong independent women as long they remain ultimately subservient to men.

That sounds pretty awful when you put it that way, although I suppose there's no other way to put it.

This is just my point of view, but Fairy Tail is one the the shittiest shonen I've ever read, I never got why it has so much success.

I didn't read much of it to be able to form my own opinion (I read a really tiny amount before deciding it definitely wasn't for me), but I agree that I have no idea either why it's so successful.

Was it too optimistic for me to think that they wouldn't stoop that low though? I knew the whole ecchi thing but this is kind of a new level of fanservice. For pete's sake, the color cover page had Lucy staring at the reader while drenched in water (I hope that was water).

As someone who reads very little Fairy Tail, why was the latest chapter that I read a few weeks back about a bad guy who could cause so much pleasure that everyone gets paralyzed? That was weird and sexual in a pretty uncomfortable way in the context of these characters.

I just now realized that this doujin may be one of the (if not the most) quintessential things that you link to other people here when they get blindsided by a yuri doujin's bad ending or some such and they need a pick-me-up.

Well, there's Off Time, and of course Born This Way.

Oh yeah, I remember now, Born This Way was the other one that's sort of similar to this.

Ooooh, so that's why she was trying so hard to clean her by submerging her in water!

This is great, another yuri story that spans years. I recall seeing another one here in Dynasty though; it even reached until their deathbeds. Does anyone know the title of that one?

As for the odd characterizations, there are two reasons for that: rule of funny and the author preferences. She admitted to not being really fond of neither Hibiki or Mamori.

Ah, I see; that explains the doujin. I was wondering if I was missing some extra material (like a manga or something) that gave characterization to Hibiki that wasn't shown in the anime.

I didn't get the Charlotte/Hibiki/ Kasumi part.

It was pretty odd for me. Seems like a pretty flimsy/ contrived reason to have a threesome.

Didn't get all the hate towards Mamori in the anime, I just wished she was more affectionate towards Mirei. And then this doujin decides to amp up the lack of attention towards Mirei...great.

It's cute, but the "shemale" tag is gross as fuck.

I also appreciate the fact that the male counterpart is barely seen in official artwork made by Rco Wada outside the game. At least for this instance, the female version takes the spotlight.

Tamamo >>>> Extra's Saber

¯_(ツ)_/¯ As long as it's not het, everyone can prefer whatever servant pairing they want. While I still do prefer Nero over fox wife...

Here you go! Official Tamamo yuri Artwork to by Rco Wada herself!

Unfortunately, I think this is the only one though. (Nero has like 3 at least)
Just remember that Saber is canonically gayer than Caster.
Edit: Forgot obligatory: Nero >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tamamo
