Try Canada, other countries were racism isn't a problem (or you'll find it in the 0.5% of the population) are not very good right now (and others aren't very good ever)

Canada seems pretty good at the moment. Better than Antarctica at least.

The full lockdown was lifted today over here in Panama, I'm not worried about morons killing themselves, but if cases skyrocket we'll be back at square 1 and that affects me and every other sane person :/

I'm checking the Panama covid graphs and I'd say it's not entirely bad. Your country seems to be keeping fairly linear rates of contamination and death.

The reasonable course of action would be to lift restrictions only when the rates drop, such as is the case of Italy. On the other hand, countries like India and Brazil (here) are pressing for reopening businesses while the rates of contamination and death are increasing, which honestly makes no fucking sense (apart from the fact that both of these countries are ruled by madmen).

Madmen that I'd dare call fascists, I might add.

When we run out of water here (which is usually just the waterworks pipes bellow our street getting broken once in a long while, SMH) we just use antibacterial wipes.

^ Is killing really necessary? I mean, transitioning is a thing.

Me: sees people are suggesting to remove the insane amounts of sex tag from this work
Me, who firmly believes the handholding joke will live on on Dynasty Reader even past the Heat Death of the Universe:
NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!

All that you said won't change that feels DO NOT overcome facts, NEVER. And it's better to destroy their self-confidence than to give them hope which is far more cruel.

Crushing a human being's hope is one of the most cruel things you can do to them. You can think what you want, but don't go expecting anyone to agree with you unless they're equally as damaged beyond repair as you. Your entire philosophy is wrong and dangerous, and you need to stop now. I can only hope you aren't an influence in any children's lives.

The real way to disarm someone is to take away his hope (X-Panda - Denial)

Hence why there's something of a cliché in mapping that hope (at least when held by the good guys / protagonists) is the last thing that dies. Source: am a mapper myself, and also watched many mappers much better than myself. And honestly, that's the one mapping cliché that should be applied more in real life than it should in any kind of entertainment media.

If there was a manga about us, Dynasty Readers, then in today's chapter you'd probably be seeing a panel with me just laying in confusion with a spirallic background and question marks going as far as the spiral goes.

Every other part of what you're saying is not, however. It's much closer to a recipe for destroying someone's self-confidence instead. I dunno how much you know about psychology (not much I'd wager judging by what you've said here) but it's a known fact that positive reinforcement is FAR more successful at helping someone improve than just shitting all over their efforts.

All that you said won't change that feels DO NOT overcome facts, NEVER. And it's better to destroy their self-confidence than to give them hope which is far more cruel.

... I can say from having experienced innumerable occasions of comparatively brief yet nonetheless harmful phases of self-loathing (induced by in large part by some verbal ironing (yes, "ironing" is how we call it here) by my grandma during my formative years) that I beg to differ. Even temporarily crushing one's self-confidence... In my case me most often being the one to be doing that crushing... Is much worse and cruel, speaking from personal experience (though, unfortunately for my side of the debate, nevertheless being just apocryphal evidence).

It almost sounds like you're impling that's going to be her main reason to marry Sakurako
And if you sincerely believe it would be, well... I can imagine at least 2 more important reasons... One by far so. And no, Kasumi liking Sakurako's cooking, while it would be a more important reason that people annoying her, it wouldn't be the one that'd be by far so.

It wouldn’t be the only reason but I’m implying it could be something that would help push Kasumi to ask.

Oh, I never said that it seemed to me like you implied it would be the only reason. I said it seemed to me like you implied it'd be the main reason

Hopefully this continues on toward their adult life. I wonder if societal norms will play a role in the advancement of their relationship. Living together while you’re at school is quite different than living together once you’re adulting. People bugging them both about marriage and asking them to attend mixers. I can picture Kasumi just telling Sakurako: “Let’s get married so people will stop annoying me.”

So if they do the sexy time before Yuzu and Mei (which i bet they will) I am going to laugh so god damn hard

Lol. But that's as safe as bets go, really. Those are just the facts of life: the Sun shines; plants grow; Normans invade 11th century Europe; Yuzu and Mei will never have intercourse; etc.

She did it! Wrote the lyrics of the song on the manga! The absolute madwoman!

Are those song lyrics? It's hard to tell from a translation, I took it as a paraphrase of her feelings in general rather than actual lyrics.

Is it too much to ask for both?
