I'm starting to think that Suzu might have a boyfriend, it's just a suspicion though.

The worst part about this manga is that nobody acts even remotely like a human would.

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure anyone would let their gay friend put a choker on them for money.

Mutual masturbation is the best thing and there should be more of it.

The artist who made the manga does animation, it doesn't look like they finished that though.

It would be pointless to make a girlship tag for that when it’s close enough to subtext.

Maybe I'm being a bit naive today, but when someone says "I've never really heard of [obscure but real phenomenon], I don't think it happens" and you know for a fact that [obscure but real phenomenon] happens, my first thought is to tell them that yes, actually, it does happen, not to accuse them of being awful bigots and start drawing comparisons to Jim Crow. Like, sure, if they reject your explanation out of hand, or display a continued pattern of willful ignorance, then totally get mad about it, but all this? Really?

There is a very big difference between "I've never heard of" and "therefore it shouldn't be depicted", and an even bigger one to get to "because that doesn't exist in real life". That very much is a bigoted mindset and I really don't care to tone down calling someone out for that to what you consider acceptable levels. It's not baseball, you don't get three strikes, it is the words themselves and the ideology they convey that count.

And like, you talk a lot about people seeing things in black and white, and drawing up arbitrary cultural battle lines, and that all sounds very nice. Meanwhile, you've completely muddled up the person who hadn't heard about full-time crossdressers with the person who made the reference to free speech, as if they're completely interchangeable because they were nominally on the same side.

I did no such thing, in fact I only referenced that person briefly in that I find it particularly bullshit a defense, regardless of who you are defending and endorsing in your defense of. I do not mean for that last bit to apply to anyone but the person who said it.

And you've decided that I'm one of those people who doesn't understand the meaning of genuine representation and just treats it as a game for social points because I've somehow accused you of not wanting trans stories to exist? Because apparently that happened?

If the idea that I am not in favor of more trans stories is not what you meant by "you're acting like people wishing for something other than the thousandth [...]" then I apologize for reading too far into your logic. I also do not mean that you as a person, nor anyone else in that thread, don't understand representation. That was more aimed at society at large, and a bit at myself. I think we all sometimes fall into that trap of thinking that because we are part of a diverse culture we can understand diverse cultures as a whole. So I can understand saying something bigoted like that because you believe your experience to be more broad than it is, but at the same time you are still responsible for your words and those that you defend. It is not the duty of the world to present itself to you in order to enrich your understanding, not having been introduced to some culture is not an excuse to say that they don't, and certainly not that they shouldn't, be represented.

is all this really necessary?

I'm afraid this goes to a mistake you made earlier, I'm very much not upset by this. I honestly do not care what you think about any other group of people when you go to bed tonight. In fact I really doubt I'll ever have made much of any change on you or any one else I've ever talked to, more than just on social issues but for pretty much anything I believe, but I find it absolutely necessary to speak my mind in response to such things because it is common and open discourse that allows us to build understanding regardless of whether we agree or not.

Yes, marginalizing an entire group of people, like say crossdressers, and saying that stories about them should not exist

...There is so much manga about crossdressing gay dudes. So much. Not all of it is good, or even respectful, but there's unquestionably an abundance of it. I can think of maybe a handful of manga that even have trans characters in them, let alone being a major part of the story. I know you clearly spent a long time on your post, but it really comes off as so much empty bluster when you're acting like people wishing for something other than the thousandth "I swear I'm not gay but he looks really good in a skirt" story is secretly an attempt trying to erase the concept of crossdressing.

I don't think you read my post or the one it was quoting if that's what you got out of it. Certainly if "I've never really heard of a man staying in drag in their public life just because its a fun hobby they enjoy." and "as it would occur in real life, which would be with a trans character." aren't openly an attempt to erase the legitimacy of crossdressing then jim crow laws must have been about diner logistics. Certainly if what you got from my post was that I don't want more stories about trans characters than you may be way too entrenched in this black or white dichotomy of representation as a game of inclusion where representing one takes away from representing another, and saying "wishing for something other than the thousandth [...]" doesn't do much to detract from that view.
Diversity is a process of subjecting yourself to new ideas and viewpoints and allowing yourself to understand the cultural narrative of other people through their works. It isn't taking away some spot in the universe where a work about someone who is transgender would go by having another "'I swear I'm not gay but he looks really good in a skirt' story" and it is absolutely bigoted to say such a story doesn't have the right to be told because it doesn't reflect your experiences as the original quoted post implies. It's not a game, you don't get more points for having black friends or recasting Ghost Busters to star all women that you can trade in for a "get out of being called a racist free" card, it is about subjecting the works you read to both emic and etic scrutiny from both the perspective of your own and the one they were written from. We don't grow as a culture by bitching about so many movies depicting straight white men, they get better by going out of your way to find media that depicts other more interesting stories, and both can very easily coexist.
That doesn't mean you have to like this, for being predictable or for not being relatable to you, but saying it shouldn't exist and certainly saying "as it would occur in real life, which would be with a trans character." is beyond backwards to the very concept of inclusivity and representation. Not that the implication in the same post [(of already gay material)] isn't similarly insensitive first in that having it feature a trans woman would certainly not make it gay, and second in the idea that if the author is a homosexual neither would he have the experience of someone who is interested in women nor should it be his duty to depict a romance with a woman.
Oh, and anyone who uses the term "free speech" to defend themselves against criticism when attacking others like that belongs on gab.ai, "freedom" you see is merely privilege extended unless it is applied reciprocally.

sigh another "I'm just a cross-dressing guy, totally not trans" story. I've never really heard of a man staying in drag in their public life just because its a fun hobby they enjoy. It's just not something that really happens. Sure there are people who like to do the whole drag queen and drag king thing as a hobby, but the only time someone's gonna go through the effort to present like that throughout their daily life is if they're trans. I don't get why writers (of already gay material) need to bend backwards to portray this trope instead of just writing the story as it would occur in real life, which would be with a trans character.

Can you shut the fuck up about your bullshit agenda? People are just here to read a cute and funny trap story.

No one is trying to take away your cute trap story, they where simply using free speech to express their opinion on the story. I know you right wing types have a hard time understanding this but discussing issues with something is not the same thing as wanting to destroy it.

Yes, marginalizing an entire group of people, like say crossdressers, and saying that stories about them should not exist so that the authors of those stories instead write about a group of people you'd like to see glorified is a very 'left wing' thing to do. Not that crossdressing homosexuals make up an entire culture whose message you're asking be appropriated to fit some other narrative. It's not like saying "as it would occur in real life, which would be with a trans character" is some sort of attempt to delegitimize and erase a real group of marginalized people simply because from your cultural perspective you don't have contact with such people and thus don't understand the appeal of stories from that point of view.

Almost like drawing battle lines demanding depiction is easier than aiming for representation of all cultural viewpoints and allows it to be a narrative of us versus them instead of taking what exists and having a more enriched understanding of it through the lens of the culture it's written in. As we all know if you're in favor of casting persons of color in movies you can't also be guilty of whitewashing or even racism towards other groups, since being on the right side for inclusion and diversity is about waving the flag of one or two groups and not about wanting the full range of cultures to be able to tell their own stories from their own view points.

The fact that someone so willing to trample on a work written from another perspective simply to win the "I'm the most underrepresented" prize would call someone else a "right wing type" shows a complete lack of human empathy. You certainly may "not want to destroy" this (although given the above quote "not something that really happens" that seems a bit disingenuous) , but that doesn't mean you have some high ground to demand it be changed to fit your experiences instead of the experiences of crossdressing homosexuals, and it certainly puts you on the level of everyone who was upset that the cast of the new Lion King was black instead of the original cast.

Oh, I forgot this site exists specifically to cater to your personal wants and needs, how silly of me. It is not like we have, I do not know, a system of tags that allow you to know what the work contains, so you can read just the yuri ones. Wait...

Think about it this way: every second of the 10 minutes it took me to upload this was spent not uploading a yuri work, all of the hours that it took to typeset and translate it, the weeks it took the author to write and draw a chapter of it, all not used to create and make available here a yuri work. In the same way that if you read a chapter on here or torrent an episode of anime you are taking a sale away from the original creators when work is done to create something you don't like it is taking away work that would have totally been done to make available to you something you do like.

There are no parallels between this and being unreasonably angry about videogames you don't like coming out in a series you're a fan of whatsoever.

It should be obvious what sort of website this is.

Yes! It’s an LFG site for RuneScape classic.

I thought this is a yuri website..

this is a gay website

The website’s sexuality is no ones business but it’s own, why do you care who it wants to have romantic or sexual relationships with.

Aren't lolis just any under age girl? I guess I'm not up to speed on the finer points of the various flavors of sexualised under aged girls.

Also most of and over age girls, as well as any girl without a specified age and boys with insufficient muscle. As well as anyone who wears black with lace.
The important part of determining if a character is a loli is whether they were drawn in "anime style"

This taxonomic method can be applied to most other fields as well, for instance any device which plays videogames is a Nintendo, and every elongated vehicle is a limousine.

I'm doubtful about the lolicon tag. Is it because Ayano is attracted to other teens?

I was under the impression that "lolis" where somehow (real or fake) pre-teens.

Chika-chan and the imouto are pretty underdeveloped, the MC is the one who isn’t in the main cast so far.
