BugDevil's reply will not be in the Cafe, since that's not the place for this sort of nonsense.

In fact, noplace is, and I'm ashamed of everyone involved for letting it go as long as it went. This should have been over in a couple of posts, but some folks apparently have no concept of self control.

Do not reply to this. Dredging up the argument will result in deletions and probably bans. Move along.

Okay, you know what? This is a place for off-topic discussions, not a place to keep dragging on stupid arguments you can't just walk away from. This discussion, and indxeed this whole site, isn't the place for this sort of acrimonious debate.

I'm deleting the last couple of messages and telling you to drop it and walk away, a skill you really need to work a lot harder on.

ReinaSonoda Stop pushing shipping wars. I mean it.

Out of the µ's girls, I'd expect Umi to be physically strongest due to her martial arts, and Hanayo next due to taking care of the alpacas. Carrying hay and water and suchlike. Rin would have a lot more energy and endurance than either of them. Eli would probably be pretty strong and have good endurance too, come to think of it.

There's also an aspect of an artistic game of telephone that happens in the manga community. One hentai artist learns by copying another hentai artist, and their stuff gets copied by other hentai artists, without really going back to refresh at the well of reality and layering on assumptions of their own and running it through the filter of their own "style" at each step along the way.

And thus we get weird shit like Asagi Ryuu and his buckets of pee/juices/mysterious undefined fluids, or the highly formalized "I'm so embarrassed", or acting like you've been hit by a taser the moment someone lightly touches your clitoris.

Off topic posts dragging up an old argument that people were already told to drop deleted.

In an odd way I read this as less a romance, rooting for Haru and Midori to get together (in fact, I hope they don't), so much as an emotional mystery, where both of them are trying to figure each other out. Haru knows there was some connection between Midori and her mom that she doesn't understand, but doesn't know it was one-sided love (although we really don't know what her mom felt). She's starting to figure things out, but there's still a ways to go.

On Midori's part, to some extent I don't think she realizes that she was in love with Tsugumi either. So that's part of the mystery from her point of view, processing and understanding just how she felt since she doesn't really understand her own emotions.

Plus the real need for both of them to become family and move forward in their lives of course.

Reminder for everyone, but particularly Stannis and MacySan, any discussion of raws or releases that have not been posted here yet must be spoiler tagged.

I do not appreciate having to go through and edit a long string of posts and replies because you neglected to do so.

^Yup- the first major series Mochi did (I think?) Kasumi and Acchan - 17 chapters of quality regular yuri without incest or messed up plot at all :) (and maybe still their best work as much as I also love most of mochi's incest stuff too).

That one was by far Mochi's best story. It sucks that it got dropped in favor of Yuri Natsu.

Yuri Natsu does have some really good parts, like the actress and her assistant. And while it's still incest, the mom and aunt are played really sweetly without getting all in your face about it.

The whole fake cop and abusive girl looking for her sister thing could be dropped entirely without hurting the story though.

MODERATOR NOTE

The term "trap" being used to refer to crossdressers or trans people is hereby banned in this discussion and discouraged on the forums as a whole. Such use here specifically will result in deletions and, where necessary, bans.

Some people misuse the term "trap". Is a total moratorium on the term a proportionate response to this misuse?

Yes.

Everyone here should proceed under that understanding.

what's that from? Touhou?

It's Marisa and Reimu from Touhou.

I like turtles.

The candies or the animals?

it was all a fever dream, i remember nothing

I keep getting half-glimpses of . . . legless reptiles.

Same-sex incestuous legless reptiles.

Shhhhh....

This never happened. Let us never speak of it again.

Most of the fan groups I've been involved with have been highly leery at best about what used to be called RPS, or Real People Slash. Shipping characters is one thing, but fantasizing about an actual person's private life for your jollies seems...well, creepy is the best word for it I guess.

IME a lot of WLW will read BL/yaoi stuff too because there is just SO MUCH MORE of it out there, and while it's not necessarily their personal flavor of gay, it's still GAY and not straight. Same goes for like, porn in general. Because lesbian porn (at least in the US) is almost 100% filmed with straight men/the straight male gaze in mind, so is... pretty cringe-y and not likable for gay ladies.

It's interesting to note that probably the biggest and most successful English-language BL/Yaoi 'zine, Shousetsu Bang*Bang is run by what is largely a bunch of lesbians (I know for a fact that two of the four core members are).

As to western porn, there are some really funny reaction videos of lesbians looking at "lesbian" porn for the first time and cringing at stuff like the long nails and such.

The heck's an ACK?

Anti crack-kun, your reaction to polyamory reminded me of him, but it was just a false alarm. Google is your friend if you want to know more, talking about him here is probably bannable.

It's definitely not encouraged, and well off topic in any case. Better to drop it.

how in the hell do you suggest images to add? i've searched the site all over, Forums, etc, people mention a Discord but there's no help page, no dedicated links, NOTHING.

You use the Upload Request feature in the dropdown menu by your name. Just fill in what spaces you can and of course no need to explain who the translator is if there isn't any text involved.

Cleanup complete.

I would adore kase x yamada marriage but isn't it illegal in japan :(

It's not so much illegal as not recognized federally. You won't get arrested or even sued for having a ceremony.

You are both doing kami's work.

Translator's note: Kami means "god" in the poorly localized sense

Cripes, when I mentioned a "tedious back-and-forth", I didn't even say the half of it, did I?

Maybe y'all could take these blog-length posts to an actual blog or something.
