"Are ya winning, Grandma?"

Ah yes, the truest form of Tsundere.

Is no one going to comment on the most obvious title reference in the history of manga?
No?
Well it got me to smirk a little, for what it's worth!
The doujin is cute, too.

Nakano's really talented. Seems we're going full harem. I wonder when Nakano's coworker and Nozimi's girlfriend (what was her name again?) will join the crew.

Also Garden Eels.

Oh yeah, that manga existed.

Whoa, Futa that avoids the two (literally) biggest pet peeves I often have with it.
Neither hyper-boobage nor a d!ck larger than a horse's. A surprise, for sure, but a welcome one.

So a presumably Japanese artist drawing yuri manga who goes by the name of the most popular piece of the (arguably) second-most well-known Czech composer of all time?

Yet another great find (insert Jahy-sama meme).
Fluffy. Also yes, cats smell nice if they're healthy and well cared for.

"Something the matter?"

"You're really not cut out for this..."

A dog butt... not sure if it's a good idea.

It's not just some random dog's butt... it's a Corgi's butt. That makes it way more badass.

I feel kind of offended by that "a man has to be a hunter and shoot things dead to be a man" stereotype.

The crux in this manga isn't just that, it's also the inverse: "a hunter who shoots things dead has to be a man".

Im kinda wondering, how much of her motivation stems from being told that "girls cant do that". Its kinda framed like its the driving factor, which would be bullshit.

Well at least I'm not the only one who got that impression. It's internally consistent within the story. Looking at this page, there are hints at Chiaki's condition being more than "just" the result of socialization with utterly inflexible, prescriptive gender roles, though it's pretty safe to assume that tomboyish behaviour (and thus Chiaki's personality) had already been thoroughly judged as inappropriate by the father. Overall, however, the story gave me the impression that Chiaki wouldn't have developed gender dysphoria had "she" been accepted as a tomboy.

Given the way things developed, Chiaki did what he had to in order to have a chance at happiness, regardless of what cause we read into it.

*edit: yay, I think I found a way to phrase at least some of by debatable impressions of this story that should be okay here.

I spend so much time splitting hairs over representation, I forgot how well these basic transition stories just work.

It's a great story and it definitely works, yet I think there are some aspects to it that I'd like to discuss but feel I can't.

What a coincidence for this thread to resurface today, just last night I thought that it'd be cool if DR had a Dark Mode...
No clue if that's difficult to implement on the site as-is.

I'll echo the typesetter in that I can't believe how much effort they put into this. Totally worth it, though.

Looking at the doujin itself, it could be made adherant to the site's rules if the title was changed to its original Japanese title and the single use of the offensive English title on page 2 were to be edited out, as the term isn't actually used once in the main dialogue, but that's all down to the admins and if they're more comfortable with it staying off for good, we gotta respect that.

If there's only a few instances to which this violation applies, I'd rather see a solution similar to what luinthoron suggested, with a specific tag that allows avoiding it as well as a preface page added at position 0 with a statement that puts things in perspective. Would be a humongous task if there were a lot of relevant titles here, but at least going by the titles there were only about four, which I would say is potentially feasible. That would not require defacing the work.
Ultimately, though, you're right and it's their call.

Arkansas is literally worse than Hitler?

As a German I think I have to say: no, they're not, although I guess Godwin's Law has to be adhered to...

Reading the Arkansas Bill has been insightful as well. I concur with the APA's assessment that it's a misguided piece of legislature that may very well do a lot more harm than good.
As a former psychology major I've always been on the side of giving good mental healthcare to people in distress and letting the clinical psychologists and therapists figure out the best methods to deal with psychological suffering (which gender dysphoria pretty much invariably entails). They are the experts, and if their method of choice is reassignment and hormone therapy, I'm confident that they know what they're doing and are aware of the responsibility they bear.

It's pretty much the same story about the UK. They also don't trust the current assessments. I'm curious how the scientific consensus will develop in the next ten years or so.

considering whats going on right now in the us and uk.

So... anyone willing to enlighten me what this is referring to?

I would assume the recent slate of laws in US states and the UK that make it illegal to provide any medical or psychiatric care to trans people.

I know it's kinda unrelated to the main topic, but do you have a reading recommendation for this? I haven't heard of that and would like to learn what's going on in this case.

You know I sometimes wonder if people use a vpn and a different mail address to state such opinions that they deem important, but know will get banned for. Not sure if that would be enough to spoof an anti-second-account system. What with that post two above me being the first and only post of that freshly created account.

This reminds me of the controversy with removing "Gone with the Wind" from HBO MAX.

Simpsons' Apu-controversy likewise comes to mind. It's related to anything ending in -phobia being measured by second and third parties' perceptions and "offense taken" rather than the intention of the agent behind the original incident.

This was fine enough but the smegma kills it yucko

Yeah, this needs a smegma tag. That's a kinky in and of it's own.

It's not here to stay anyway.
Hadn't gotten around to "enjoying it", so I'll just download a copy for later.

Our sincerest apologies, this absolutely goes against our set rules for the forums and discord even if it's a scanlator work from ages ago. The doujin has been removed from the site.

Do not go into the "positives" of the usage of the slur because there isn't any. The history of its usage is malicious and remains harmful even if the intent isn't there.

Sad to hear, but it's your forum.

Trap was never meant to be offensive.

Regardless of whether it was, it shouldn't be, commonly isn't intended to be and thus should be reclaimed and embraced. Don't let idiots take away your language.

This could be fun. I'm in.
