At this point, considering that a (pre-op or not) transwoman is a real woman or not is like a religion for each side: there's no point in arguing because it's become a matter of faith.

I've never been a particularly religious man.

Transwomen are women. It doesn't matter what stage of transitioning or even what their future plans for surgery or not entail. For something that is "not even about gender politics" your entire argument reeks of TERF rhetorical bullshit. You and all your closed-minded kin can get yourselves out of the Independent Republic of Scotland. Enjoy your vacation.

It would help a lot if people stopped putting words into my mouth and intentions into my mind. A lack of insults would also be appreciated. This is not about the question whether trans women can be women or not, but about the yuri tag itself and why someone thought it wise to use here, even though the relationship clearly, as stated by both people, involves a dick. The tags on dynasty have always felt more like a lazy afterthought in general, but something like this going unchallenged still leaves me baffled.

Right, it's all their fault that Botan and the guy were having an affair. Totally not the guy's for cheating on his wife nor Botan's for knowing he was cheating on his wife or anything like that. Yup, totally the fault of Botan's family.

I never said it wasn't. They both knew what they were getting themselves into, including the possible consequences, and are horrible people for doing it anyway. But as I said, the sisters handled it in the worst way possible. They could have talked to Botan. Failing that, they could have talked to the guy in private instead of ambushing him in front of his house like a bunch of thugs. It could have been resolved quietly, without hurting anyone further. The morality of that is questionable, but I'd argue it's preferred to what happened. And what happened is that a scene had to be made, no-body was consulted beforehand, and they just assured a little girl won't be growing up with her father around, or maybe seeing him once every two months. Good job. Maybe she'll be better off, maybe the family was dysfunctional and on the verge of breaking anyway, but we don't know that, so we cannot make any such assumptions.

Leave this bullshit at the door, or get the hell out. Nobody needs your bigotry.

My deepest apologies for not expecting to get any dicks sprung on me in my yuri and actually daring to think that I'll get what it says on the label.

Don't even try to get me wrong, I have nothing against stories about or involving trans people, but using the yuri tag in this one is more confusing than helpful. First, the relationship between the two isn't even mentioned or visible in the majority of chapters, yet the entire story is tagged as such. Second, throughout the entirety of the manga, Kashiwa remains pre-OP. Physically, she is a man, she has a penis, and she even outright mentions it. Sure, she doesn't like to be called a man, and that's fine, but until she gets enough money together and bites that bullet, she'll be one, whether she likes it or not. Welcome to life. Third, by the logic of pure self-identification, futanari relationships should be tagged "yuri" as well, since they identify overwhelmingly as female after all, and some even hate their dick, much like Kashiwa here, so why wouldn't you? Why would you be so bigoted towards futas? Because it's not yuri if there's a wiener involved, it's that incredibly simple. This shit isn't even about gender politics, such arguments have no place here, it's about having clear and logical tag definitions and boundaries. Even sadpanda has long since left this site behind in that regard, and they've had some glaring clarity issues for ages.

The point wasn't that Botan cheating was good, but that her family butting in without even talking to her first and thus ruining not only the affair, but the guy's, his wife's, and their little daughter's lives. Acting without properly thinking first, they handled it in the worst way possible, and Botan having enough of their selfish shit and leaving is fully justified.
Also, 15 chapters later and I'm still waiting on that "yuri". Did I miss a side couple? And no, pre-OP trans x woman is not yuri, just like how futa isn't, or how two crossdressing girls fucking each other doesn't make something yaoi. I don't know how something that simple can be so difficult to grasp for some.

At this point I wish I never started reading it at all if I wasn't going to be able to finish it

Well, you can still find it on the various other sites that tend to ignore author's complaints, for the better or worse.
I wonder if there's any placating the mangaka, now. Though if history is any indication, probably not.

I get where the anger comes from, but I can only understand english and it's pretty much impossible to run each bubble through Google Translate. Isn't the reason this happens because the original isn't getting translated officially?

I first thought he was mad about an official translation being reuploaded on the internet, but that doesn't seem to be the case, as I can't find an official English release. He's also pissed that people got his name wrong and assumed someone was plagiarising him under the name of "Fujiyoshi Tsukasa". At least that's what I gathered, my Japanese is kinda garbage.

Mangaka throwing a temper tantrum on twitter about illegal scanlations on the internet. Kinda understandable, but short-sighted and futile. Oh well, shame.

Oh neat, this got a translation. Hope the rest of the series gets one, as well.

Pretty sure that's been suggested before, but having the option to change the site's background colour would be nice. It's quite harsh on the eyes if you're tired.

I don't know where you guys all live, neither am I familiar with the laws in most other countries, I can only speak for Germany. Having sex with someone who is inebriated but offers no resistance is generally not considered rape, if the accused did not also threaten them.
At least it was like that last time I checked. Our minister of justice sought to change the laws concerning sexual abuse a while ago, but I actually don't know what became of that.

But laws are different in each country, judges might interpret them in different ways, et cetera, so I see no harm in a dubious consent tag.

Oh boy, another chapter.
Not that I had much hope to begin with, but I'm just gonna tag along to see where the hell this is going. It's one of those stories that are abysmally bad, but still intriguing enough for you to not drop it. And comedy-factor, of course.
Let the ride continue.

Name of the manga please! Or link if possible.

I believe it's "Loli Tomodachi" by Quzilax

It is, yes. Not sure about the linking rules here on dynasty, but you can easily find it on exhentai and probably a bunch of other sites.

Not interested in reading it, but out of curiosity how does it ends?

With an implied double suicide of the two protagonists, after having raped 11 girls and escaping the police so far. They figured that's as far as they can push their luck and decide to go out of their lives talking about how nice it was that they had the same dick size, while holding hands. No homo, of course.

Pretty good comedy, had my laughs. Seriously though, it's trying to be so dark and edgy that it comes out comedic on the other end.
Not to say loli rape stories can't be touching. Just not like this. I do remember that one story with two friends driving around Japan and raping little children on the way. Lots of introspective and some food for your brain, however much you might dislike the content of the story. I nearly shed a tear at the endng.

Anna is Izuru's mom.

Well, there goes my OTP.

Nah, it got even better.

I think I got it.

It seems to be about the game mechanics themselves, how the player tries over and over to beat the game. The Marisa here is a remnant of one of those tries, one that ended at Parsee ("yes, it replays"), which is why she doesn't know Satori. She is a lost soul who returns to the place where she died and is guided along to Nirvana by the one who killed her, who envies but seems to like her, which is why she drags the whole thing out. Marisa also envies her friends, for example Reimu, who, contrary to herself, masters the stages without ever dying. Or perhaps she does die, Marisa wouldn't know.
Now the beast within the forest is jealousy/envy, but whose? I'd say Marisa's as Parsee makes no attemps to ever hide hers, which would make the forest Marisa's subconscious. She feels a sense of deju vu at the gate, right? She recognises her envy.

Satori and Orin clean up the mess left behind by themselves and the other bosses of SA, as in collect the "corpses" of every failed attempt at the game. Orin seems to regret never having been able to actually kill her off for good, since her actual corpse would have been a lot more useful.

It's a story about envy and the player character dying countless times before finally gitting gud.

I love stories like these, which refer to the game without blatantly breaking the fourth wall, apart from the mana comment.

The author never ceases to amaze me.

this story seems to borrow some elements of "all you zombies" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_You_Zombies

I got that much, but how did they travel forward in time again? Shizuku (who dates her mother) is no magican yet, she shouldn't have the power to do so. Is her mother a magican?

Well that was a nice an pleasant read. I halfway expected a brawl breaking out at any moment.

I hope the voile library gets around translating the third part some time, it's been my favourite Touhou series since 2012.

Those feels came out of nowhere. I think we need more sad porn.

Good thing I waited with reading until it was completely translated so I could just go through it in one sitting.

Comedy was good, the sex was great, 10/10.
I got what I came here for.

Fantastic work. Definitely my favourite amongst the doujins describing Satori's and Koishi's relationship and past.

I don't get what some people's deal is with rape or other questionable content in a work of fiction.

I mean you're reading a continuation of a story that is clearly labelled with a "rape" tag. Chances are you aren't blind and have seen that tag. If you absolutely detest it, why would you read it anyways? You'd have to be incredibly masochistic, in which case you'd actually enjoy it, or just bored. Or you're trying to apply your morals on a pornographic fiction just for the sake of seeming morally just, which always baffles me when people do that. It seems like such a silly and pointless thing to do.
Basically, what you demand by saying that [insert tag here]-stories are sick and shouldn't exist, is censorship. Nobody likes censorship.

If I see any scat tags on a story, I likely won't read it and move on to other stories which I am more likely to enjoy. Or perhaps I will still read it since I am intrigued by another aspect of it, like the art, author, other fetishism etc., but even then, I won't go into the comment section and remind people of how much I dislike scat. That would be annoying for anyone who actually enjoyed all of it and in no way constructive critcism.
You didn't like it/feel grossed out? That's perfectly fine. Make a mental note and avoid similar stories in the future, saves you the trouble of reading something you dislike.

The folks that read such stories are likely into that fetish, they know the risks of applying it to the real world. Neither I nor anyone else is their nanny and has to remind them.
Sometimes, when I browse the comments of rapey stories here, I feel like I'm not on a site for lesbian goodness, cuteness and fetishism, but in the SJW pit of tumblr.
