Not to mention, there are plenty of works out there: Movies, books, even video games, which do questionable and outright gross things to make their consumers uncomfortable, as the intended reaction. That doesn't mean it approves specifically of what happened inside the material--be it gore or sex or anything else. I hope people can come to understand that, down the line.

cough violence cough

But yea, there are definitely some works that paint certain bad things as positive, but it doesn't mean, every work that features them, necessary encourages them. It can condemn or even comment on them as well. Also fiction is perfect place to explore less comfortable and darker places, without actually experiencing them. Especially when they are actually written fairly realistic and not overfictionalized. Other media does it, so I see no reason why manga should be different.

Don't like it feels rapey or maybe portray actual rape? Nobody forces you to read it. There is plenty fluffy yuri out there. Some people just like to be taken out of their comfort zone and experience something different in the story. Not every work has to be light-hearted romance.

Either way, read it for Shino. She grew up a bit now and Hime x Shino moment was adorable as fk :D

I thought nobody was working on it though. Where do you read it since it doesn't seem to be uploaded on manga sites.

I’m losing track a little bit—on these collaborative stories, does Momono Moto do just the art, or co-write and draw, or sometimes different things?

Because, although Momomo isn’t always the greatest plotter, this “explanation” for the Great Liz Mystery seems extremely weak and ordinary.

Not 100% sure, but it seems normally Momono writes and draws, but this time she only draws and Kitta is writing the story?

MAL seems to say so too.

But lesbian couples struggling to get together, finally declaring their love for one another, then one of the pair immediately disappearing without a word for years I have difficulty seeing as "realism." Reading Lezhin yuri manhwa you'd think it was the law.

I don't want to say Lezhin is against yuri, since they do publish yuri stories, but based on what you say, I can't shack the feeling there is some kind of weird message send here.

Also I really hate when that kind of thing happens in work as well

Man, back in the day ghost girls would get out from the tv to murder you, not to lick your crotch and leave it t the best part.

Sequels would ruin it explaining backstory anyway, so maybe we are better off having just part 1.

@Vankomycin Welp I fucked up. Was too sleepy and read the names wrong. Sorry it is just those kind of comments are way too common, so I lost my temper after seeing YuriMonster comment and didn't realize Sup's was actually fine.

Looking at it again, this has to be a pun or cultural reference that the translator either didn't know or didn't tell us about. Or maybe it's just a weird, pointless thing (seems just as likely if not as preferable).

Might be that in Japanese The Clit can be a pun on The Ring. Maybe.

Unless there is something I'm missing, I don't think so since Ring in jps is just ringu and clitoris is just kuritorisu (kuri) so I'm not really seeing a connection.

What pun or cultural reference you are talking about?

@YuriMonster what colors are you talking about? Also you can get the fuck out of here if you don't like it. Posting "I don't like X parring and/or I like Y better" in X parring image should get you banned.

That is exactly why after this, I decided to never buy anything on steam ever again.

Looooool. I don't trust them anymore anyway https://twitter.com/HuniePotDev/status/997979877977436160

From what I've seen, part of the blame is also on Steam's side that either for lack of manpower or laziness take any report as gospel without bothering to actually check the veracity and accuracy of the report itself.

Looking at how they let any game pass nowadays, I'm pretty sure they are simply unable to check everything, even if they wanted. Them making any game getting on steam much easier was pretty much out of laziness though.

As for the steam sudden attack on mature material, I think this might be caused by some parents byuing games for their kids without checking the content, then blaming steam for letting those games in their library instead of questioning their own parenting, leading steam to crack the whip.

It was apparently attack by some specific group fighting against normalizing of rape, sexual exploitation of minors etc. in video games. And they already succeed. Some games which were already on steam were already removed, like next title from A kiss for the petals, which was announced some time ago and now it is gone. But again somehow big titles which have much more sex in them are not touched. Also the sexual thing was always funny to me, since people seem to totally ignore that violence is much more widely normalized by games, movies and TV than any sexual content (which is 90% of heavy censored and banned) which legit make most people less sensitive to drastic acts of violence. Either way, yea not only it is hypocritical it is, totally retarded cos those games don't harm anyone. Nobody who wouldn't commit a crime in the first place, would suddenly do it because of stuff like that. PC and content policy is marching on.

Also, as another mentioned, if they have issues with kindred spirits, then they can also remove games such as the witchers, mass effects (though the latter aren't on steam), conan exiles, skyrim/fallout who have some pretty mature mods and so on... -.-

Yea, they seem to only target jps games and small games. Big titles that have money and fans are not touched. Such hypocrisy.

The worse part is they are removing/telling to change games that they already revised and accept on platform in the first place and only now suddenly they are a issue. Not to mention forcing to remove/changed adult content on adult 18+ games in the first place is also highly retarded. If you are afraid that anyone can say they are 18 and get access to those games, then change your fucking system. I legit got pissed when i bought 18+ game that told me it is for adult etc. only to learn adult content was removed and nowhere on the game page it said so. That is just such plain retardness I can't even understand it. Do steam has something against japanese or something? Are Valve racist?

The difference between facts and opinion is that, no matter what your opinion is, a fact is still a fact.

Assuming what you said is a fact.

Looking at it from an objective standpoint, seducers are mostly to always great looking.

You clearly don't understand how charisma and seduction work. If you were so good looking women go to bed with you without issue, you wouldn't need to seduce them in the first place.

Also "looking from an objective standpoint". Lol. And where is your prove majority of seducers are good looking?

Do you even know what seducing means? So you are telling me that seducers are ugly with great charisma? Oh do you have it all wrong.Look at Casanova, the most renowned seducer in the world. In his times, his looks were most sought after. Look at Ted Bundy, a serial killer with lack of emotions, mischievous, and also great looking.

I never said all seducers are ugly. You're the one saying they all have to be certain way. It's nice that you at least can name some examples, though 2 is nowhere near "majority". Also yes. I do. It is the act of tempting someone to do something (usually sex). Nowhere it says you are supposed to tempt only with your good looks. In fact, I bet both examples you stated had also charming personality (or at least knew how to talk to girls) as well as good looks. The point is you can seduce people without looking like top model from fashion magazine, but it definitely make it easier. Also I love how you assume all women are so shallow they will go to bed with anyone as long as they are good looking. Sure some will, but even the best looking man in the world need to have something else going for him if he wants all ladies to flock to him. That is where charisma comes into play.

Name one well known seducer who is ugly, I'm waiting. And don't you dare name Uganda's ugliest man. He may have had 3 wives and has 8 children, but that is because he is famous for something and also has a heart of gold. At least that is what his 3rd wife says. Just because you are the ugliest man, doesn't mean there won't be people who find you attractive. All I am saying is, that people who get it on a lot are good looking. If you look at famous people with great looks, they have had up to 77 known partners.

Man, you are so hypocritical. So he doesn't count because he is famous, but other famous people who happened to be good looking do? Also the part about heart of gold is basically what charisma and seduction is in a nutshell. You get people interested into you by other values than your look. It's sad to hear someone honestly believe women don't care about people being smart, interesting, funny etc. and only want to fuck pretty people regardless of their personality.

Honestly, I wrote much more than you deserved, because you are condescending af in your posts and act as if what you say is some ultimate truth everyone should agree with, while making pretty hasty generalizations on top of that. I don't expect to convince you, since you clearly think you already figured everything out and nobody can prove you wrong, so I'm not going to bother with you more than that.

EDIT/ I did a quick google search:
"Many of Bundy's young female victims regarded him as handsome and charismatic, which were traits that he exploited to win their trust."
He strove to be the ideal escort in the first act— witty, charming, confidential, helpful—before moving into the bedroom in the third act.

Ok, so you actually tagged her as gorgon before, so change Quetzalcoatl x Rider to Quetzalcoatl x Gorgon as she is here a Avenger aka Gorgon.

Well, this is actually exactly what happened in the show. Ochako was scared so Tsu suggested holding hands and they did. Only thing not shown was Toga seeing them, but considering how she went yandere for them later, it is pretty safe to assume she might x3

@Serenata "Sufficiently advanced science babies are indistinguishable from magic."

Seriously though. Morgana actually used sperm from Seiba when she was a man (futa) thanks to Merlin shenanigans, so technically she gave birth to Mordred naturally? So it technically isn't magic, I guess x3?
