It's interesting, I tried reading the story assuming that she actually did confess, either around the time of the flashback or slightly after, and they're actually in a relationship that they haven't told the daughter about. It works surprisingly well, and doesn't require any changes to the story as such to read it that way.

yeets himself away

Here, let me help.

Aww. You can really feel the Meiling love in this one.

The purest form of love.

Nezchan's response was perfect. She touched on all the tropes/memes involved in a concise way.

I will make one small concession to the trope, namely that if you're bisexual, and you get raped by a man, you might very well be turned off of or frightened by sex with men, at least for a long time, and to people not thinking in terms of bisexuality, as bisexuals are often erased by both gay and straight people, it would look much like "she was straight but became a lesbian because she was raped."

This is true. Unfortunately, I don't know if I've ever seen the trope used by someone who even leaves the door open for the character to be bisexual at all. It would certainly make some stories more interesting.

One thing I don’t get is tho, why so many of these manga involve rape?

It's a very lazy way of giving a female character a Dark Backstory™. Manga doesn't have a monopoly on it, western movies, books and TV series use it as their go-to buried trauma all the time.

Does rape by a man turn someone lesbian?

Some authors think so, yes. And people at large, believing that being lesbian has more to do with "rejecting men" rather than "being attracted to women". It's bullshit of course, and thankfully less common these days as lesbians are more visible, but the idea still floats around and lazy writers still use it now and then.

I can see how people who buy into "pseudo-romance specific to adolescence" would believe in it though.

I thought I had everything figured out... then Konomi revealed that the name Yuzu has a "strange effect" on her, and the memories of her old bestie Yuzu-chan returned, and suddenly I'm a mess and don't know for whom to cheer anymore. >_<

I'll be honest, I wasn't rooting for Chiaki to start with. She comes off kind of manipulative, and entitled to a relationship with Yuzu because she's the one who "earned" it.

On the other hand, the idea that Konomi drifted away because she's got a really bad memory for stuff like that feels kind of fresh. Like the rest of the story labours under a dark feeling but her airheaded "why does that name feel so familiar" routine at the end relieves it a bit.

Holy fuck, a 7-octave range!? That's actually ludicrous, lol. A 3-octave range is considered impressive in the vocal world. If reaching 7-octaves is even possible, it has to be REALLY rare.

Freddy Mercury and Kate Bush have both been praised for their incredible vocal ranges -- 4 octaves each.

With 7 octaves, she probably wrote songs only dogs could hear.

Svitac is now banned. Nothing to see here.

Are you trying to rules lawyer me? Because that's a bad idea, friend.

Now you can either keep your peace on the subject or you can take time off. Your choice.

Tell you what, Svitac. When the actual text of the story explicitly states that this fan theory that you're so in love with is true, you can talk about it all you want. In the meantime, in the absence of that, please keep it to yourself.

Okay, BugDevil, we've tried to be fair here. But the fact that you got into another one of these stupid, trivial arguments, including insulting another member on the same day as I deleted you doing the same to someone else, and only a few days after drpepperfan gave you a day ban, cautiong you to "think before posting in the future, as your involvement in these is ridiculously high" tells me that a stronger remedy is necessary.

Therefore, after conferring with the other staff, you are getting a one month ban.

Off-topic nonsense from Svitak, BugDevil, and BD has been deleted.

I don't even wanna know what brought that little outburst on, but I'd appreciate it if nobody continued it.

Given how the material in question was taken down days ago, and this discussion is in the process of descending into a spitting match between two deeply entrenched camps, I am now locking this thread.

Go back to your homes, citizens.

Alright that's it, I have to take a stand.

*ahem

NO MATTER HOW BIG YOUR BOOBS ARE YOU CAN'T CONTORT YOUR NIPPLE INTO YOUR MOUTHHOLE

This is demonstrably false. There's TONS of videos of women doing just that. Settle down.

And you dont really need to have that big of tits either really.

A C cup and the right sort of flexibility should be all you need.

Like I said, it's a lot of work, and the site staff didn't have to invest nearly as much time or money as the admin, so they probably had other things in their lives that would get in the way of running a website. Again, this kind if thing requires dedication. It's not some little hobby like birdwatching or building lego sets, you gotta devote a part of your life to doing it and it's gonna start to feel like a chore eventually. And given how thankless this kind of job often is, it often doesn't feel worth it.

Have you met some hardcore Lego collectors?

It's not a hobby. It's a lifestyle.

lol....Demon Lord who now? She's never going to make it out of the inn.

But they promise to get married after they kill the Demon Lord.

Demon Lord gets tired of waiting, goes to the inn to proactively take care of the hero. Both are so upset at being interrupted, they one-shot him.

Easy!

I don't know if you're obtuse or trolling, Lilliwyt, but this whole thing is getting tedious either way. It's time to let this one go.

Maybe you should think a bit more, because next time it can happen to something you enjoy,

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

This... this is a thread about a fucking hentai site...

...and a Wendy's drive-thru.

Still need Crunchyroll or Funimation or somebody to pick the damn thing up so I can watch it.

Well i have some links with french subttitle if you speak frog language.

Heh. When I used to work home care, I had a French-Canadian client who always asked me if I wanted him to teach me how to speak frog.

On the other side, I had a friend with a French Canadian father who called the English "kippers". As he put it, "They're a dead fish and they smell".

Nezchan, I don't know if this is (also, hi everyone! nice place... yeah... cute carpets :) ) worth a new post as NEWS but looks like Exhentai (panda) is closing tomorrow and everyone is going crazy downloading all they can because there's like 10 hours before is shut down.

So if you have a favorite hentai there that you don't want to lose... maybe check it out... The news are all over 4chan but the gist of it seems to be:

They're based on the Netherlands and that government just got informed about Ex hosting loli and shota, which according to their laws is CP.

Woah, I never heard anything about it. I'll run it by the others and see wht we can do.

I think jumping to suicide is a huge leap.

No pun intended, I hope.

I hope you won't punish me if it was intended.

Execution for punning is justified.

I have always wondered something, is queer people calling each other "fags" and "dykes" equivalent to black men calling each other the n-word?

That came outta nowhere.
Well the idea is that if you use the slurs yourself they lose power over you. The problem is that instead you make them your personal terminology and still perceive it as an insult if used by an outsider. It's kind of pointless.

They are just words. Saying nigger doesn't make you racist and saying dyke doesn't make you homophobe.

If either of those are used in a derogatory fashion then they do, because how you use words actually matters. Context too,. Reclaiming those traditionally-derogatory words is the business of people they apply to, not others. So they're perfectly fine in the "in-group" but heavily discouraged in the "out-group" that doesn't include them.

I, a white person, am not in a position to reclaim the n-word and should therefore not be slinging it around. It's not for me, and claiming that it is, is in effect a racist act. The effect is the same whether I mean it badly or not.

In more practical terms, I'm going to call for not saying the n-word or variants in these forums regardless.It is not in any way an appropriate venue for it.

The feet thing, I get. The stockings, not so much, mainly because I HATE the feel of cloth in my mouth.

That, and I never really felt the sort of mystique about stockings a lot of people seem to.

I think jumping to suicide is a huge leap.

No pun intended, I hope.
