DY4Y—

Previously, you argued some more, and then sought the last word by saying that there should be no more arguing because this wasn't the place for it. Now you return to the argument, after again saying that this isn't the place for it. Spare us, would you?

The word “dialect” isn't magical. You can no more excuse poor word skills on the part of a thousand people by noting that they have a dialect than you can excuse poor word skills on the part of one person by treating her usage as an idiosyncratic dialect. I explained what made proper English in my earlier comment. There are indeed some dialects that are distinct yet equally proper, but none of them use “me” as a nominative, because that robs the case form of its utility.

why do you write like it's 1821? are you practising for an academic paper? are you the captain of a high school debate club?

yeah sure hoshi is a tall woman and i suppose a tall-ish person in general but it's still funny that she's drawn like a towering giant who strides across rivers but her canonical height is uh like five centimeters taller than i am

Futanari discussion 02 Jun 09:49
joined Mar 5, 2016

Futanari is essentially a fetish for men, in which they can fantasize themselves in either the giver or the taker. A way to make homosexuality more acceptable in their own mind, because it's a "woman" and not a man.

Not that some women don't fantasize about having a dick, but the psychological rationale is different: it's not about sex, it's about power.

Anyway, it's interesting the term and most stories about it come from Japan, a country where the expression of male homosexuality is frowned upon. It's much like the tentacles: a workaround.

i don't find the claim that it's about homosexuality to be necessarily all that convincing, or at least not that it's the main thing. after all, i could just as well make the sweeping statement that futanari is all about women that experience sexual pleasure and release in the same way as men do, and men find that appealing because it makes them understand the women more easily. futanari are mostly drawn as being particularly womanly in shape which is not something that appeals very much to homosexual men. i'd say femboys are much closer to a "safe" exploration of homo- or bisexuality for men than futanari are.

but of course there is more than one thing going on with futa as well as the recent femboy fad and i'm not sure if something that exists in the intersection of genders and sexes can be easily summed up

Aya's Shop discussion 01 Jun 19:03
joined Mar 5, 2016

It's very weird honestly. I think the gist that I can summarize, though I might be wrong, is that at least some of the demons like the woman who went to the brothel are futa, and are a species that "has no concept of rape" but also "are driven by a desire to rape", which is very bizarre for numerous reasons and contradictory.

The demonkind seem to have no concept of "rape" because, when they are among themselves, they don't see sexual assault as different from any other kind of assault, so they don't have an extra word for it. It looks like their society is extremely hierarchical, with a clear pecking order from the strongest to the weakest, driven by a congenital desire to dominate others and established either by beating them in combat or by literally fucking them over. And when they leave their homeland, that desire for physical and sexual domination gets projected onto other species, most of whom are physically weaker -- which is how they become notorious serial rapists, despite not knowing the term.

And if I may engage in some world-building speculation, this dog-eats-dog attitude of the demonkind may be a result of their community having faced a near extinction from an outside threat in the past (not hard to imagine why someone would try to exterminate them). Not justifying rape and murder here, just saying that extreme survival conditions are known to spawn very brutal social institutes that persist for generations down the line.

i would lean more towards it being because they're descended from demons and any ostracism or extermination attempts being based on that, well, they mostly try to kill and rape as they please

at least that is the impression i get from the text

typically vampirisation is supposed to take place only if you are killed by a vampire bite

Can someone explain to me why the joke in the credits basically calls the mc an idiot, when she was the one who didn't want to break up?

probably because the art fits visually into the idiot sandwhich format

the impression i get is that the older lady thought she couldn't put the younger girl through the difficulties of being in a homosexual relationship in a society that doesn't welcome them. she's, what, 16 or 17? whereas the other lady must be like 20 or 25 ish? it's not explicitly stated but it's what i think is the explanation

she's not drawn nearly as babyfaced here as she is in her streams, so that probably does a lot

i take the view that calli's actress and kiara's actress are friends, and play characters that are in love. one is professional, the other is gay. no problems. i'm not invested or interested in the relationship thing, anyway.

if the actresses didn't like each other then obviously things wouldn't have been done like this. i don't actually know how the characters are created but i'm assuming that the people who are going to play them are consulted so that they get something that they can naturally and spontaneously portray. there is likely tests and back and forth until everyone involved is satisfied.
