Do you use an open palm to the forehead or a closed fist straight to the face?

Closed fist of course!

Takachi, I like my eyes so no v sign. Nice and blue.

This thread got me all nostalgic for my first ever thread derailment.

Edit: Nya chan did not argue that writers, and people we admire in general, should be perfect, only that it is natural for most to assume they are, to some extent. And of course, she is right in that, most people do or have done this.

tldr; when you read something you enjoy immensely, like Stretch or Prism, you want to admire the author and think that he's a great person because he can write something like this, but then you are confronted to the reality of the person and it's a let down.

we've been here a bunch of times before, so let's not go there again. i don't know why it's so difficult for people to accept that you can separate the works of an artist and the artist themselves. you can enjoy the work, but dislike the artist and vice versa.

maybe i find this mental gymnastic doable because my favourite book is lolita but that's besides the point. stretch is great. it inspired me to change my dp after like...5 years.

I would also like to know why it's so difficult, can someone explain it please?

So you like Lolita...? you also like lolis? are you a conrade? o7

And please explain what you mean by dp, I can't help but think about another meaning to it that definitely don't have anything to do to what you meant...

no i'm not a 'comrade', whatever the hell that means. lolita is an excellent piece of prose. it's explicitly stated that the author himself is anything but a paedophile and has nothing but disdain for the MC. let's cut this discussion here. it's neither here nor there.

And please explain what you mean by dp

This.

Well, I've failed my psychology exam so I'm no expert, but I assume it's the same mechanism which allowed for monarchies and the like; people viewed the king as someone inherently superior to themselves because of his status as The King. Because they are better than us, we believe them to be perfect (this because I believe most people are at all times have both a superiority and inferiority complex; they are better than I am, but I am awesome so they must be perfect.). This same mechanism I think applies to all who we admire; we think that they are better than us and thus they must be infallible.

We don't like it when something we thought infallible defies are illusions. See; French revolution, English Civil War etc...

I think. Maybe.

That actually made a lot of sense, thanks ChocolateCakeLover, I feel like I gained +1 in Intelligence.

It's called cognitive dissonance and it's very uncomfortable.

+2 points for each derail.

The realism that makes Stretch so good makes his loli peculiarly unsettling.

It's like people that draw stuff like that are actual fucking human beings, crazy I know!

You're an idiot.

Okay seriously, even assuming the best that's a pretty nasty thing to say. So I'm giving you the option, walk it back or walk on out of here.

The Volume 3 extra has been translated

This page, yessss.

I'd imagine that and the 'bird head' one will get the most comments xD

I bet Ran is really enjoying that scarf hold.
