I find myself triggered when a cute little yuri girl throws away her purity, on a dirty stinking guy. Hell, I still fume when I think about Yukino and the guy from the cab, in the series Octive, and I read that story 5yrs ago. I think the authors know that's how their readers feal so they use cheating with a guy to really drive home the knife. In a way it lets the reader feel the betrayal as strongly as the character facing it.

I will not delve into the whole gay-purity-destroyed-by-het, because I find the whole concept to be beyond ridiculous, but I will point out you chose the wrong example. "Octave" did not use het to "drive home the knife" with the cheating aspect, it was an element of Yukino's confusion about her own sexuality, and her wanting to know where she stood. The way she went about it was wrong, but not because of het, and it was certainly not used to make the cheating worse in the eyes of the audience.

Edit:

I mean, teeeeechnicalllly the chances of bi people cheating are double that of any other sexuality ( straight, gay and lesbian ). More people you could like = more people you could cheat with. Seems logical to me.

Jesus Christ, that did not take long at all, did it. It seems logical to you because you are retarded.

In my case it's not so much that bisexuality is bad (hell, I'm biromantic myself), but I don't trust manga authors to be any good at depicting it. As a rule they've got a history of being pretty terrible at it.

So bis are great, stories about bis tend to be pretty crap.

Didn't you know? Male or female, we only exist to incite narrative drama by cheating on our partners.

And we always cheat with people of the opposite gender than our partners. Yuri manga have not been kind to bi people, lol.

It's not just yuri manga. I read a webcomic where the exact same thing happened with a male couple.

There could be a small grain of truth in there, although not in the sense of bi people being somehow actually more horrible than straight or gay ones. I talked once (hence this is not really a representative sample) with a lesbian on this site whose girlfriend cheated on her with a guy, she did say the fact it was a guy made the whole experience harder to take. But that does not apply to all lesbians, I imagine, plus, even when it is relevant it is only applicable to situations where a bi person actually cheats, and cheats with a person of the opposite gender, at that. And the chances of bi people cheating are no different than those of gay or straight people.

There is also the fact most yuri fans look at any traces of het in their yuri as the work of Satan himself, and there is no way authors who work primarily or solely in this genre are unaware of that. If I had to guess, I would say the writers are probably using bi characters for cheap shock value, as in, to somehow make cheating even more horrible than it already is in the eyes of the audience. Yaoi genre could be doing it for the same cheap reasons. Mind you, this is just idle speculation on my part.

I don't think she's a terrible person. Clearly that event hurt her a lot, and she's probably suffering from some kind of mental illness. But why would anyone else choose to put up with someone like that?

Doormats exist. You would be amazed how many relationships I know of where it just utterly baffles me why one of the partners puts up with the other. And to be honest, Maki does leave an impression of a doormat. Most people would probably not apologise in her place, and most would definitely not react to being slapped for no reason whatsoever by being concerned for the wellbeing of the person slapping them.

Ever been so horny you just run to a nearby river and jump in?

You joke, but it can be a real problem. The river close to my place is really fast and deep, lots of people drowned already because they were in heat. Being that horny can cost you your life.

Also, Maki's reactions are deeply realistic, the confusion, the libido raging, thinking it is love, it is all portrayed really well. Bonus points for the fact at least a part of her resists the idea of being in love with Kousaka, it is surprisingly rational of a 14 year old who just had such an experience.

Chapter 6 is really amazing. First part portrays Liz in a sympathetic light (although I agree with Blastaar on the explanation being weak), then flips it completely with her being a total and utter cunt towards Maki for no reason whatsoever. Her having past "trauma" does not give her a licence to be an asshole. First of all, Maki had no way of knowing what those earrings could mean to Liz, she is not a mind reader. Secondly, she apologised, despite not actually doing anything wrong. Thirdly, the "trauma" itself is beyond stupidly ridiculous, so the fact Liz not only failed to apologise for her previous outburst, but escalated things with physical violence speaks volumes of just how unhinged the girl is, and this while Maki was unnecessarily apologising herself.

Maki is also not really a satisfying character, she reacts to Liz's completely irrational outburst by blaming herself, apologises, gets slapped for her trouble, yet even then the moment she realises Liz is crying her reaction is to ask Liz is she alright. Just how much of a doormat can you be? This is probably why I am not as upset with Liz's behaviour as I could have been, the main character is also a moron, just of a different kind, and I find it almost impossible to empathise with this type of character.

Anyone else get more and more pissed off at the father each chapter for dropping all the responsibility in Mei's lap?

Judging by the previous discussion on Shou in this thread, quite a few people, I would imagine. Myself included.

Im new here.... Not lizard means not yaoi right?? Is the tag really needef?

It means not lizard too, though. It is an important educational tag, lots of people mistake salamanders for lizards.So it is fairly needed, yes.

Oh man, I feel so conflicted. It clearly is trying to portray this as positive as possible, but god damn it that lady raped a young girl who had no idea what was going on. Try to rationalize it however you want, but that was rape

I do not think it is trying to portray it as positive as possible, though. If it were, we would be reading the usual age gap story, you know, the ones where the difference in age seems to have no influence whatsoever on relationship dynamics.

@xxcindybeexx: Basically, I had a similar reaction when I got to the "oh it was sex" part, I started shaking my head in the "no one could be that clueless" reaction. So I brought it up on our IRC in a joking manner, and one of the other regulars said her first time with a woman was remarkably similar (not in the age gap aspect, lol, but in the delayed realisation) for reasons I then brought up in one of my previous posts here, and I could see it actually made sense. Plus, the girl here was dazed and confused as fuck about the whole thing as it is, it is not that surprising some implications of the deed flew past her at first.

That could be it, but then again, he could just be glad his socially awkward daughter has a friend, and also understands that his daughter is, well, socially awkward. He was also over the top happy when he first found out Koyuki's club would get a new member, without knowing almost anything about Amano back then. Even without the whole blatant gayness, it is obvious Honami does not make friends easily, and for that matter I do not think she even has any beyond Amano. Gay or no gay, of course he would be supportive.

You forget that other people already asked Koyuki out to the festival. The manga starts out making it a point that Koyuki is pretty popular. A lot of Koyukis reluctance comes from not wanting to offend the people she already turned down. If it was about supporting just friendship why doesnt dad encourage Koyuki to hang out with the people who asked her out instead of forcing her to ask someone else?

You do realise she was not shown to have a single friend before Amano showed up, right? She is not just reluctant to offend, lol, she is also painfully shy and socially awkward, something that her father knows. The guy was practically jumping when he saw his daughter would have another club member, and Amano was almost a complete stranger to him at that point. As I said, gay or no gay, of course he is going to be supportive, even if he sees them as just friends. He could be cluing in on the gayness, but I do not think that it can be argued as the only possible view, and to be frank, I do not even see it as being more probable.

So far, this seems to be a story where the age gap is taken seriously, ethical problems and all.

Basically, this. The main character is a 14 year old (just for reference, that is the age of last year primary school/freshly enrolled high school students in my country), most (mind you, I will not necessarily say "all") age gap relationships where the younger party is this young will have some serious imbalance in dynamics. The only way this could be depicted as less predatory or unsettling is if the manga went the usual yuri age gap route and simply disregarded the implications of such a relationship. Like, seriously, how often have you read an age gap story where the age difference was actually addressed and translated into relationship dynamics (to be clear, I am talking about age gap stories with the younger party being as young as here, of course this does not apply to age gaps where both of them are adults)? So I would say that the people complaining about the unsettling aspect and ascribing it to bad writing are missing the mark.

How old is she if she does not know what sex is?

So do we assume that these days the usual parental “birds and the bees” talk and/or official sex education curriculum also includes “by the way, yes, two girls can do it, and here’s how”?

Lol, I was just discussing this with someone who had first hand experience of exactly this kind of situation (having sex but realising it only later), their explanation actually makes a lot of sense. Basically, a lot of people have this really narrow view of sex (vaginal penetration by a penis), so to many (and this can include young and inexperienced lesbians), fingerbanging and cunnilingus will register more as a form of foreplay, rather than a full-blown sex.

Its a rarity to see an accepting parent in a yuri manga, its even rarer to see a supporting one who tries to get their gay daughter a date.

That could be it, but then again, he could just be glad his socially awkward daughter has a friend, and also understands that his daughter is, well, socially awkward. He was also over the top happy when he first found out Koyuki's club would get a new member, without knowing almost anything about Amano back then.

This is officially the weirdest tag I've seen in Dynasty so far.
On that note, how exactly do we suggest new tags?

I would suggest joining the IRC or Discord and speaking to a staff member (but only if you really think the tag is necessary). There's no function to suggest the creation of a new tag on the site.

Actually, there is, although it is not advertised as such in the title. https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/5734-suggestions-for-improvement-v3 You can suggest new tags in this thread, it is often done, and the Staff does go over the suggestions.

Touma-kun discussion 16 May 19:47
joined Sep 6, 2015

Well, at the end of the day, I find Touma a little dull, with no special salient trait.

All the girls around her are more interesting.

Honestly, Touma's main personality trait (besides being cheerful and outgoing regardless of the circumstances) seems to be that she's a complete idiot: she consistently fails to know or understand pretty much anything, even things you'd really expect her to. It's just that everyone's too charmed by her to notice. It's why I haven't been as harsh on her as some folks in the comments; I don't think she's being manipulative, I think she just acts on instinct and genuinely doesn't understand human relationships well enough to realize what effect she has on people.

This, basically. Kind of silly how some of us, myself included, jumped to dissect this work way more than was truly needed, lol. It is also silly how much maliciousness a part of the audience read into Touma. The girl is dense as a brick, lmao, barely able to hold a normal conversation outside of flirting (and even her flirting looks like something she does without conscious effort).
