I don't think she has autism. Autism has become both increasingly fashionable and, for unknown reasons, apparently increasingly common in the real world, so it's understandable that it's rather a "go-to" mental problem. But the way she acts doesn't seem autism-ish to me. I don't think her behaviour was unusually repetitive, or that she particularly had trouble grasping feelings, and in particular it didn't seem to me that she had the basic typical autism problem, trouble representing other people in her mind as being humans like her.

There are many different ways autism can manifest, what you described is just the typical way. Also a lot of people with high functioning autism have a lot less trouble grasping feelings and such than most people think. For many people with Asperger's syndrome, for example, it's a matter of overstimulation. Someone with AS is perfectly capable of learning normal social cues, for example, (and indeed most of them do learn at least some as they get older) but it's a matter of them having to learn how to filter out the extraneous information.

It's completely possible she could have some form of high functioning autism. And in my personal experience her actions aren't totally unexpected from an autistic person. Though they are more unexpected from a girl than a boy. Girls with high functioning autism actually commonly go undiagnosed because girls are, by nature, more social and so an autistic girl is going to end up adapting better than a boy.

So for the people who use the magnifier in my script I have a question. For the new version of the script I'm working on I'd like to improve the magnifier some. Would you find something like it already has better or would you find something more like this better? (Right click and drag to pan the view and use the mousewheel to control zoom.)

It wouldn't be exactly like that example since that's a fairly old proof of concept I was testing for something else but it'd be something fairly similar. I'd at least add some controls to the page to reset the zoom and pan as well as adding buttons for zoom in/out as well as activating the magnifier for people who don't have scroll wheels since that was a complaint I'd had for binding the original magnifier to middle click.

A useful tip for people who use mouses (and not touchpad) is to use your middle mouse button (pressing on the scroll wheel) to open a link in a new tab. This is the way I browse on most sites.

In addition, using middle-mouse on a tab will close it.

You can also ctrl+click them if you don't have a scroll wheel/middle mouse button. (Though thinking of it can you even get mice without scroll wheels anymore? Last time I saw one was back in the '90s, lol.)

I don't mind at all. It's nice to keep some developments centralized.

Any chance I can get you to send me just the changes you made to the script so I don't have to go comparing your version with my version line by line? I don't have an eta because I'm making a fairly large overhaul of the script (should make it easier to navigate the code and add things in the future though) and doing so at a fairly slow pace but it'd be good if I could get a copy of your code so I can put it in my notes so I don't have to go searching for it later.

Any chance for the option to view a whole chapter on one page? The reader's only real flaw to me is that it's often very slow and this would help quite a bit.

This wouldn't actually help at all. Loading all the pages at once would put a lot more strain on the server (especially when someone links a single page in a thread for example) and would only serve to make things load more slowly.

Admit it.. we all clicked the manga because of that 'thumnail' :) HueHue

I clicked it because the title made it sound like it was going to be ridiculous. And it was.

Well idk if you're joking, but just in case, they're using "hnngg" as a verb. By cutting that out, yeah, it gives the sentence a different meaning. That's what happens when you cut words out.

Yeah, I knew what they meant. I was just making a bad joke.

So is that bit during the gym scene or whatever what people were complaining about earlier in the thread? Cause that's laughably minor to complain about.

I agree with Nezchan and Nevri. At most I think the alias idea would work but I don't think even that's actually necessary.

It looks like the title of this on the site is mislabeled. Site says "fragnant" while the title page says "fragrant".

This chapter was the most tedious thing to clean. Especially this page though the bad part is luckily covered by the B from the sound effect in the top frame.

They are lacking the translations yeah, and have done at least the last two chapters based on chinese to english translations (who I guess are fuckin efficient at scanlating manga).

Well there are a billion Chinese. The English speaking world only numbers around the same in total if you include ESL people.

Honestly, I never thought about specifically searching for a loli + age gap. The only one I read was "Hoshikawa Ginza District 4", and I found it to be rather enjoyable, but I got to it because it was by Kurogane Ken, rather than looking for a loli story. Still, as I said, it was enjoyable, but then again, it was not really graphic, the social stigma was addressed, rather than just ignored, and it managed to convey both parties' sincere and serious feelings, without the younger one looking immature, or the older one looking manipulating.

There's also Kodomo no Jikan which actually has an interesting story once you get past all the fan service garbage. Though that's het rather than yuri.

Somehow was mistaken for thinking all lolicon should be banned or something and got trolled into rambling about the limits of freedom of speech. So yeah, I'm done in this thread.

lolicon, but shotacon, toddlercon, rape, guro, incest, slavery, mind break, bestiality and some other types of hentai

With that said, the reason I think it shouldn't be banned is because the logic that it promotes child porn in my opinion is bullshit and logical fallacy, people have been doing that for years with anything that they don't like, violent video games are murder simulators and will turn you into a killer (--snipping the rest cause that was one really long sentence--)

If you're into guro you're definitely going to go out and start murdering people. And if you're into scat you're clearly going to start going out and shitting all over random people. Though if that's true what's the imply about some other fetishes like inflation or giants or something? Is someone who's into tentacle rape going to get caught fucking an octopus?

We do take user suggestions (hell DrP waited 3 weeks for someone to fight for the tag but no dice... until now?), but the end say remains within the staff.

People might've missed it. I usually would open a thread like this when I check the forums but I somehow didn't even see this one until it was linked in the site suggestions thread.

And personally I don't think it's really worth deleting but I also don't find it incredibly useful either. I could see people finding it annoying to just skip ahead in some contexts and avoid a story for it or something.

Nezchan posted:

As to the loli-pedophelia connection, I doubt that loli manga in isolation is a problem. The problem comes into play when combined with other elements outside of manga to foster a climate of seeing children as sexual, and willing participants in sexual acts.

Kinda sounds like the issue of "violent games cause people to be violent" when in reality it's not remotely like that and the only negative effects violent games have on people is when they're already mentally unstable.

What are your thoughts on loli age gap?

Sounds like a tight fit.

What can we do more to promote it?

I dunno why this is remotely necessary. It's fine if you're into that since it's not harming anyone but it's not exactly something that requires promoting either.

Movies 1 and 2 are pretty much exactly like the TV series but the movies have some added details.

There's removed details too though. Movie 1 is something like episodes 1-8 iirc while movie 2 is the last four episodes but both movies are the same length, with movie 2 being right around the same length as the four episodes it comprises.

MelonBun posted:

Whatever your opinion may be, the director and writer got into a pretty big fight over exactly that issue.

I'd like a source on that. I get that Shinbo suggested Urobuchi change the ending, but I don't recall Urobuchi being against the idea.

From what I recall reading Urobuchi was not only not against the idea but was for it because he was dissatisfied with the ending he had at the time.

And it's probably the first time I see someone with a character as strange as Lord Yupa in their faves.

How could anybody not like Lord Yupa? He's a pretty interesting character and to top it off he's voiced by Patrick Stewart who has one of the most distinctive and awesome voices ever.

I have one here. I tend to only ever really use it for anime though. I have a habit of always forgetting to update it when it comes to mangas I read, lol.

Cmon author, there are more romantic complications than love triangles.

Yeah, like a love square or pentagon. My personal favorite though is the love icosahedron.
