Someone's overly upset. And it's nice to see your now just spewing baseless insults. Posting in any way shape or form does not prove I have no life.

These are all opinions

No, can't say that about what I'm saying. You also mean they are my theories. Opinion are used solely for denoting personal likes and dislikes Another example of just a general lack of knowledge.

'Scuz me. I have trouble picking up on social cues. You should have used a word like "aspy" then I would have gotten it.

Maybe the fact that a multitude of other people who also responded to the post did not mention anything about it might have been a clue?

I stopped reading the thread after your first comment. I didn't get to see everyone ignore that.

Maybe the baseless insult was too much. But people calling me stupid gets me angry. (I'm an encyclopedia, you see)

Now I'm going to go away. And I won't touch this thread until the next chapter comes out. So even if you do respond, I will not see it for several weeks and by then who gives a fuck.

So I don't think the things that you're citing are actually contradictions.

Key word here being "think". What you personally think is not really relevant to anything. And even if that was the only contradiction, you'd be wrong. Because there are other contradictions that have been pointed out in this very thread.

I can say the same thing for what you think. These are all opinions. There are all different kinds of ways to look at the same exact thing. THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE RIGHT WAY.

And I was only referring to the one you mentioned. I even quoted it. Unlike you I actually have a life and don't have the time anymore to start pointless wars in the forum so I don't really give a damn about all the bitching that's happening. I just didn't like your comment.

do you know ANYTHING about autism?

I can't exactly respond to any of these points because you did not pick up on the fact the term "autism" was being used euphemistically, not literally. Everyone else noticed that though. Kind of another reason why anything you think or say does not hold any validity.

'Scuz me. I have trouble picking up on social cues. You should have used a word like "aspy" then I would have gotten it.

Posts like this make my heart hurt.

Meh. I wouldn't feel to bad. There's already blatant story contradictions, and it's only been two chapters. Morinaga is losing her touch.

In chapter one the problem was posed that Fugiwara is depressed/upset because she does not think she has any friends/people don't like her. But in this chapter we are told that she has girls confess to her all the time which I fucking hate, and this is an awful story element, forced story progression galore, plus we see the fan girl squad come up to her without a second thought. They are clearly not "distancing" themselves from her.

So, either Fugiwara is autistic and can't pick up glaring obvious social ques or the quality of the writing is going down.

Take your pick, but neither is good.

Eh, but those are girls from the volleyball team, which was already stated that they were the only people who would talk to her. I think she also verified the "has no friends" because she stated that she wasn't sure if the girls confessing were serious or not– as in, are they playing a joke on her?

I mean, with the lack of yuri I try not to be too picky and over-analytical. There are some stories that I really like, and think are well written and everything, but I try not to be too negative about the ones that don't match up to quality. Girlfriends itself was a normal high school cliche anyway, so I think this is just true to most Morinaga stories.

I'm happy when any new yuri comes out, period. And it depresses me when I have to wait a year to finish a story.

I think it's more like Fujiwara doesn't have any REAL friends, not any friends period. Nobody knows, or wants to know the real Fujiwara, they just know she looks like a prince and plays volleyball. They draw their own conclusions from those two perceptions and totally don't bother with treating her like an actual human being. So I don't think the things that you're citing are actually contradictions.

Also, do you know ANYTHING about autism? Of course she doesn't have it. While missing social cues is something commonly associated with spectrum disorders, that standing on it's own means next to nothing. Autistic people have trouble dealing with the world outside of themselves. They rarely make eye contact and sometimes the can't even speak. Fujiwara doesn't even have Aspergers! And to say she can't read social cues is actually really stupid because in the fucking karaoke room she was aware enough to realize Miu felt left out and then-- get this-- /she fucking got up and sat next to her./ How in any way, shape, or form is that an awkward reaction? Further proof she isn't autistic.

A continuation coming from Matsuri's point of view sounds nice to me. Does anyone know if something like that exists or will exist in this anthology?

... we know...

Threesome. It's always the solution to a love triangle. No more problems.

I feel like that could actually work here.

an all girl village sound cool but what about an all boy village , lost boys village anyone?

Try Lord of the Flies.

What just happened?

Plot happened.

The cuddling day chapter was so cute.. I wish I had someone to cuddle with

Don't we all...

(T＿T)

Canada carried out it's own policy of internment during WW2 as well.

Hoping for longer chapters in the future. While the world-building in this series is impressive; it has strong interesting > characters as well, and I'd like to see the series focus more on them for a bit.

I hate it when I'm wrong... And now my whole life is a lie. Why did I not know that?! Canada not as awesome as I thought!

It's dealing with a, maybe the, classic problem with democracy: The tyranny of the majority, where a majority makes use of their dominance to vote democratically to abuse a minority. So for instance things like how North Americans (and Australians) have treated the people who got there first, or the way Canadians stuck the local population of Japanese descent in camps and took their property during WW II, or the way some Europeans have been dealing with the Moslem population. Even when rules are voted on which apply equally to all, they can be used to target particular groups--take the French laws about displaying religious symbols which in theory apply to Christian or Jewish ones and so don't target particular religions . . . except Christians and Jews aren't mandated to display anything, and everyone knows the real target is headscarves and turbans and such. Many have made the case that if the results of a decision primarily affect one group, they should have a bigger say in the proceedings than those who are not affected--but it's hard to come up with a procedure for arranging that.
In the long run as different groups get nailed by such actions, consensus usually builds for enshrining general rights that apply to all that protect people from that kind of thing. Everyone's a minority in some way.

The bit at the beginning about Communism and Fascism . . . their society definitely does not seem to be a utopia; there's a whiff of cold war about, with that kind of earnest propaganda and militarism around the edges of everything. I mean, we've got stacks of militarism and propaganda today, but it has a different feel to it in the absence of any serious enemies.

OCD attack:

America put her Japanese citizens in internment camps, not Canada.

And it's Muslim, not Moslem.

End of OCD attack. Carry on.

This feels like the sono hanabira ova...

Did anyone else sometimes forget that the MC is a woman for a few moments or is it just my short attention span?

I didn't.

But that might be because I'm a lot like her physically. So I'm used to seeing a dude and thinking, "girl."

... How is this before civilization? This is clearly a civilization.

It's clearly a society, but "civilization" tends to connotate a higher level of advancement.

Whatever. I wouldn't place it as pre neolithic revolution though.

... How is this before civilization? This is clearly a civilization.

A question, what is Kurakocho something in ch2?

I expect we'll find that out later.

I'm liking this so far. I just hope it doesn't go on until infinity...

I like the art style...

isn't this actually on the reader?

I think it's mostly cuz Mugi is scary...

hmm...

She got turned on because her ears are sensitive.

Unable to watch the OP again now before I can unsee this.

Same for me too now...

I wish there were more girlfriends doujins...

... Ymir looks like a dude.

Wooooooow. When I thought things could only get better on this page.
