Might as well ask why is Shuninta drawn as sealion

I'm putting my money on Le Shitz et Giggles (and in this case the author probably just enjoying drawing girls more).

Hey, I don't judge other peoples' kinks.

Why am I reminded of that one Emil scene in God Eater 2 RB...?

• Just hit him
• Hit as hard as you can
• Get a running start

Checks out in that she's a lesbian that can survive sunlight, but she should be turning into cats, not bats

Eh, rodents are rodents. =3=

There's a pretty serious difference between an Author Tract and portraying a character's subjectively valid take on things. Or to put it in very crude terms one does not need to be a Nazi to write a credible one.

You shouldn't kill your wiafu

"I-it's not like I like her or anything! >_<"

I guess I over reacted.

You don't say.

Among the things I'm half convinced about in regards to this series is that the author is quite deliberately trolling for overreactions.

That whole Secret Origin Of sequence is pretty much the funniest thing I've read in... uh, the about two weeks since this came out. >_>

So going by that last line I'm guessing Kousaka up and pulled a Minato...?

Hence Victorian-era Brits covering up the legs on pianos and tables

I believe that this was supposed to be from a satire though, but it sounds so fitting that we bought it :D

It's more or less accurate though. A major reason the middle-class interior decoration styles from that era (which survived startlingly long) are so overloaded with gratuitous detailing and accessorizing is the simple fact bored bourgeoise housewives were desperately short of socially acceptable ways to pass time... so they started going pretty OCD on the legitimate pasttimes they DID have available.

Rather less publicly acceptable but by no means uncommon attempts to inject some stimulation to the banal ennui of their daily lives then tended to involve having extramarital affairs... the French apparently dubbed that phenomenom "Madame Bovary syndrome" after Flaubert's famous novel exploring the topic.

Essentially the same issue as zoo animals that lack adequate stimulation and outlets for their instincts in their enclosures developing all manner of pathological behaviours. The more complex the creature the less tolerant it is of excessive artificial straitjacketing of its behaviour.

...I don't think that fetish is particularly gender-specific. -_-;

You, sir, have won an Internets.

Given how all over the place the actual relevant folklore already is (seriously, wtf?) authors pretty much have a free writ to come up with whatever combination of abilities and disadvantages they please.
...as long as it doesn't involve sparkling in sunlight. D:

Then she shouldn't be pointing live guns at her in the first place, but the complaint was more "is it really THAT hard to depict missed shots with a few lines?"
Comics of various genres have been using that visual device for decades now.

Ask and ye shall receive. uwu

Hence Victorian-era Brits covering up the legs on pianos and tables, and that whole disciplinarian Catholic nun thing.

The infamous hang-ups (and related hypocrisies) of Victorian bourgeoise would indeed be another case in point. IIRC the contemporaneous Prussian "officer caste", beholden to a pretty absurdly rigid code of conduct, also had something of a reputation for deviancy.

Tentacles at least go back to Hokusai and probably earlier, though. (Notably unlike your average modern tentacle scene that one's implied to be a consensual encounter; make what you will of that.)

Always was under the impression Japan's plethora of weird fetishes (as in above and beyond the usual) had more to do with the serious and constant social and cultural stresses they live under, and have for several hundred years. People tend to get a bit odd under such pressures.

Wonky censorship laws and no less goofy loopholes in them are a different matter entirely, of course.

Makes you wonder where in her uniform she conceals that not-exactly-tiny revolver tho...

Also may I just take a second to complain about this only too common depiction of missed shots that'd require the shooter to have been aiming at the target's toes? No wonder you're not getting results, girl... >_>

What is a girl? A miserable little pile of yuri.

But enough talk. Have at thee!

Icchan: Instructions unclear, went Scarface on bullies
Rei: What a dreamboat~ <3

¯\_(°_o)_/¯

"Gender" is by definition the sociocultural part, though. "Sex" is the biological side.

The former obviously has a lot more wiggle room than the latter.

These poor gods get no respect whatsoever.

Maybe if they acted like respectable gods.

One cannot do more than their best.

We're hitting levels of denial here that should not be physically possible lmao

The series is already at the point where the author can entirely plausibly spin up a True End at quite short notice if/when necessary, as Hikawa did with Shinozaki-san - which is very sensible from a business perspective. That way you can stretch out the series as long as it works and then wrap it up quickly and neatly once the time comes to call it a day.

That flippantly instrumental take on the whole swapping business isn't anything new.

But compare & contrast how Haruko is vaguely uncomfortable with the idea of Natsuko kissing other girls in her own body...
