So apparently the person isn't banned yet, but at least ANN actually has competent mods compared to most other sites.

Oh, ow! (translate as : the bannhammer may strike)

Dyansty has competent mods too ^ _ ^ but really, most sites I've visited in the past have terrible mods.

Lmao, the desesperate last resort not to be banned. Will sycophancy work on Nez-sama ^^ ?

I watched 30 Rock, I know how the business world works. You'll never rip me off.

Henry Paulso, Larry Summers, Richard Fuld and many others are laughing their ass off.
If it does interest you, I'd advise you to watch the excellent Inside Job.

As I sit here surfing this website, I think to myself "Y'know, I'm probably the only trucker in North America whiling away >his off-duty time at a truckstop reading yuri."

.. Here we are, coming from all walks of life, brought and bond here by our love for yuri. Isn't that beautiful ?

Always surprises me to see so many people shipping me with others.. I do not think that anyone's shipped me with Utoptia yet.

Unfortinately, @kitty I'm not into lesbian / bi women, even less the twisted ones. Good thing that Galich isn't into men either (well, at least most of them, some John Doe could suddenly appear in her life). That said, I bet that Galich's busy enough with uni to focus on romance right now. And so am I :P

Galich

@Utoptia Wouldn't really say that people acting like jerks is connected to the real world. After all, people can be jerks to you everywhere, not only in real life. I'm guessing that expecting basic decency from people is old fashioned.. well, not gonna go into the nostalgia mode, it was always like that.

Is it the experience talking ? I don't see how Internet would prevent people from being jerk though ! Basic decency is a forgotten concept, unfortinately. Well, except in our beloved thread ;)

It's super effective.

@anon99

Call it a hunch, based on my knowledge of my fellow truckers. They are a homogenous bunch in many ways.

Thanks for the welcome. Glad I found this site. I found it by doing a google search for "kantai collection yuri" (don't judge me), but it looks like I'll be sticking around for the discussions. I've been looking for a place to have intelligent discussions with grownups about erotic manga ever since I stopped being in denial about the fact that I like hentai a couple months ago.

@ Vankomycin

Being a trucker in North America sounds kinda cool though... It's a tough job and also not one of the best paid ones I assume... but touring those roads... that has its charm.

Not sure if I can help you with the intelligent discussions ;)
But I think hentai is a lot better than your average porn with real actors. At least with hentai you don't have to worry about the well being of the people in front of the camera. That kinda always ruined it for me... That's why I like cartoon porn! No one gets hurt ^^

@Vankomycin

Since you liked From now on, together with sempai you will may enjoy our beloved John K Peta's works.

Edit : Gengar

I just made a joke. >:/

Yeah, I got it.
The movie suggestion was serious though, since it's a well-made and interesting one.

That's deinitely the last thing people are gonna judge you for on this site.

Where do you always find this kinda stuff... (;ↀ⌓ↀ)

When you surround yourself with this kind of het porn then I can totally understand that you'd prefer yuri... O_O

It's a yuri though. And I found this one on this site :D You'll end up finding it too if you spend too much hours on it. So be careful.

Can confirm that Galich isn't into men, and it doesn't seem like there's any John Does about to appear in her life.

Writing this like that, it starts to look like some Netorare Drama Bi stories on this website. Can't help but to think of School Days.

Twisted? Well, that's up to others to decide.

Experience? Not really, no. After all, those are normal people like you and me behind the screen. Unless you subscribe to the theory of solipsism.

Didn't say so, meant that there's no huge difference between such. If people act bad, even on the Internet, they have their own motivation that makes sense to them. Well, there might be a few exception, but I stand by my point.

I'd say it's mostly the globalisation and the easy with which the news and opinions are distributed, not the times changing themselves. We're all products of the times we are bound to live in, as much as we hate/love to admit it.

Gonna break my rule of not talking about hentai. That's.. an interesting point. Partly because I thought I was the only person feeling bad for any actors of the profession. I'm guessing that it's another thing that empathy ruins for everyone.

That's sad for the John Does. Though you can't read the future, can you ?
You have a good imagination. I really love School Days ending (the anime), may our live-love stories end like that :) Having your cut-up head hugged by your beloved is a heartwarming and happy end, isn't it ?

Well, I never confirmed watching anything of the sorts. I'll still stand staunchly that only me and Blackkitty are the innocent ones.

It's a real dealbreaker to me tbh, cannot stand seeing sadness and misery.

Anon, the more I read of my newer posts, the more they remind me of older ones. I feel like I've mallowed consideraby, probably due to this entire stupid antidepressants thing.

@Galich

Having talked to most of people on my degree, I can confirm that all but 2 people are just there for the money, which is fine and all.. after all, it was even my motivation to begin with. However, the more I talk to them, the more I notice that 1. In spite of my initial motivation I'm much different from them and 2. the idea of studying something I'm not found of and getting a job I;d hate in the future just for the financial reasons seems much less appealing..

:D Personally, I do not pay attention to the reason on why anyone decides to choose their study/job, whether it's just for money or not. I'm more interested in their performances. If they could do well in uni despite studying things they are not fond of, if they could do their job excellently despite it's a job they hate, I would say they are commendable.

That, and turns out that this uni ditches almost completly history/culture on language studies in huge favour of knowing the language as good as possible.. which is fine and all, but I'd say that studying a language of foreign people should come with the right knowledge about their heritage.

Idk, but I think chinese history is pretty cool, it's not boring at all.

Oh, not saying it's a bad place for it, just an unlikely one. Your average trucker wants to Make America Great Again and insists that #CopLivesMatter and yadda yadda yadda. There just ain't that many SNAGs like me driving an 18-wheeler.

And it looks like I am going to continue surfing yuri at a truckstop since I haven't been given a new load assignment and likely won't get one until tomorrow morning. On the one hand, that means I get to surf more yuri. On the other hand, that means I ain't getting paid.

My reaction right now:

Utoptia said:

It's a new thing for me. I've been a dabbler in hentai for years, but was in denial about it because there's a lot of stuff about hentai that I find deeply problematic. Including some of the stuff that personally turns my crank. So although I would occasionally seek it out, I always kept it at arms length. "Me? Turned on by cartoons? Pft. Not ME!" Which is funny because I like John Norman's Gor novels and have never had the slightest qualm about it. And those are also some deeply problematic books.

But, I dunno. A couple months ago, something tripped the "Eh, fuckit" switch in my brain. Basically admitted to myself that, y'know, what I do in my bedroom alone or with a partner isn't going to save the world, and liking the kinds of things I like isn't a betrayal of my hard-won progressive ideals.

Since I've been making up for lost time. I have read a fair amount of hentai over the past couple of months, learning the tropes, finding out what I really like, what I don't, etc. I knew of yuri (and yaoi) via geek osmosis, but had never sought it out until a few days ago. I dig it. It's romantic. I like romantic porn.

Sadly for them, only interested in girls. Not planning on changing it anytime.

Didn't really mean it this way. My point is that we all judge everyone around us, so my opinion on the topic don't matter,

Not really, no. We're all products of what we were brought up as, the envieronment, as such. That;s where we pick up traits such as being good and bad. If I weren't so tired, I'd have brought my French pal Rousseau to the conversation.

Apologies for the quality of this post, but I;m literally falling asleep with my eyes open right now.

@oliver I'll reply to your message ASAP, since I can relate to many of your opinions and such.

Anyway Dynasty, too tired, I'm off to sleep. 晚安/Wan an everyone!

FWIW, there's a lot more proper indie porn being done (not "hot amateurs", but small studios) that treat their actors a lot better, and often hire actual couples to do scenes together. Certainly in the "lesbian porn aimed at actual lesbians" market that's the case, I can't imagine there's not good hetstuff too if that's what you're into.

I wouldn't say it's a hard job. There are dudes out here doing it who weigh 350lbs and can barely walk. What it is is a lonely job. I leave my house, I don't go back home for 18 days, and no telling where I'll go during that time.

Fortunately, I'm single, so I don't have a relationship that would be strained by my absence. And I'm an introvert, so if I was at home, I'd be doing the exact same thing I'm doing right now. So it suits me pretty well.

But yeah, it has its perks. I've been across the entire US and back six times in the past month, and that's pretty cool.

(^_^) I'm pretty sure no one's gonna judge you here. So you're on the save side. ^^

Oh, I'm not worried about being judged for liking yuri. I'm worried about being judged for liking Kantai Collection yuri. ^_^;

Well, these days you have to specify what you're talking about when you talk about "porn". Studio porn is indeed rife with all manner of issues. But there's a lot of indie and amateur stuff out there which doesn't have those issues. I moderate some porn subs over on Reddit, and one of my co-moderators makes porn. She films herself having sex with her husband and sells it. Makes a decent amount of scratch. And she's pretty cool.

With hentai, I tend to find it problematic because of the stuff it normalizes. I remember reading an article a few years ago about how there's a growing problem in China due to young men expecting their girlfriends to behave like porn stars in the bedroom. They read the comics and they watch the movies and they think that girls taking a sloppy facial is what happens in the bedroom. And then they get a real girlfriend who isn't interested and expectations run firmly aground on the unblinking sandbar of reality.

The reason I came to Ottawa was that my girlfriend at the time, a trucker, lived here in a poly relationship which I joined. I travelled in the truck with her doing the "can run" between the harbour in Montreal and the one in Toronto, plus some side runs. It was cool, living in the truck like that with her and her husky.

Ironically, the one I ended up with the most enduring relationship with was the one person in the arrangement I wasn't dating.

Well, I gave it a whirl, but had to nope out on the anal fisting and womb extrusion. Say what you will about Together With Senpai, but the sex was pretty vanilla. There was just an alarming amount of it.

Appreciate the recommendation, though.

Since you liked From now on, together with sempai you will may enjoy our beloved John K Peta's works.

If you like John K Peta then you'll definitely enjoy the works of Marco Antônio Fiorito. He's not on Dynasty Reader, but he is a tragically unrated yuri artist.

@oliver Well, from my understanding it's the logic of not helping others -> more people fail the studies -> higher possibility of staying at the degree. I'd say it's a selfish and miserable way of staying on the degree. Then again, I just try my best to help others and don't really wait to be rewarded back; a firm believer that kindness comes back eventually.

Rant time:

So..I usually love helping people with their question but lately, this girl keeps bugging me. I thought she was really smart or at least acclimated to the work expected of us. Turns out all she did last year was feel sorry for herself and beg this other smart kid in our class for help. Now she asks me and it's super fucking annoying. I wouldn't be so reluctant to help her if she didn't complain so much and make excuses for herself like, "Ohhh I'm so stupid, we didn't learn this at my high school." Plus if the problem takes her more than 10 minutes she just gives up and waits for you to do it for her. To make matters worse, she won't ask the professors questions in class because she doesn't want to appear dumb to them but like who fucking cares at this point it's physics it's difficult for everyone??? And I raised my voice at her today in lab because she said"oh, I don't wanna count the fringe shifts I'm horrible at it" Ok fine, I'll switch what I'm doing so you stop complaining "Ohhhh no I'll mess up this thing too" and I just exploded and said "JUST DO SOMETHING" then she started to weep >__>

Guys I'm losing it here. It wouldn't be so bad if she was in one class of mine but no, she's in all my classes. I can't escape her. Kill me.

Since it's relevant to the discussion I will say I never fail to be impressed how thoughtful about the horrors of combat so many of the erotic stories based on a ship-fetishistic game tend to be. I'm always surprised at how great so many Kantai Collection works are out there, since it's not a thing that ever seemed to sell itself on emotional depth.

i went from watching anime to watching serial killer documentaries.............
