This pandemic is awful for hearing-impaired people, yes. I am one, and I work in a pharmacy. Lipreading has been a very important part of communication for me, especially since I only have one hearing aid -- too poor to get the other one fixed, let alone get a decent set.

Most people don't think about how important hearing and sound are to functioning day to day. I've taken a good deal of discrimination because of it, too.

This is c-PTSD, and I know because I suffer from the exact same thing. Kurokawa's damage prevents her from even seeing herself as human. c-PTSD, among other things, destroys your ability to connect to other people, to trust that your very existence is even real let alone good or correct or "allowed." She needs a specialized therapist, and a lot of reading about how the limbic system works vis-a-vis the cortex and the brain stem...

"I'm not invalidating him, but he's not valid."

Look, your experience is yours, okay? Not anyone else's, real or fictional. This is coming from a cisgender woman here, so pay attention: you are not anyone else but you. You're not in anyone else's head. What if someone started saying that you're a coward and a weakling who stopped transition because you're afraid to face the consequences?

If that's not true, that would offend you horribly right? But how could you get through to someone else that transition really wasn't right for you if that someone else did transition and it was right for them? Because if they act as solipsistic as you're being now, they'd assume that there was no way you were being honest with yourself.

Do you see how this works?

It may be wise just not to host content like this. I'm a bit biased given 1) I worked (and work) with the victims of childhood abuse, including sexual and 2) I am one of the same, but there's something incredibly disturbing about it to begin with.

Yes, I know there are good arguments. Freedom of speech (in the US), the fact that a drawing is not a person, the fact that the material may very well stop an actual paedophile from harming an actual child, the sheer stupidity of the laws around it, etc. I get it. For the most part I'd be okay with live and let live, here. But why expose ourselves?

Edit: and, I don't understand the attraction of an underage girl for someone who loves women. Girls look like boys for the most part. None of the things that define the features and mindset of a full-grown woman are present. It really baffles me @_@

So this is, like, the fourth time Kaishaku is going to tell the exact same story with the exact same characters? Ugh, and Kannazuki no Miko just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get called "the defining, flagship, first of its kind yuri series."

Yes, I'm still totally salty over Yamibou's wallbanger of an ending ><;

This is kind of hot [fans self] Wow...it's more due to how much they want and love each other than what equipment anyone has though.

I have to admit to being curious what having a penis would be like, especially to make love using it. I can sort of imagine having a really big clitoris and pretending it's not so sensitive, but that's probably not exactly the same thing. The nicest part for me would be having it completely taken in and surrounded by my lover, though.

This is the first discussion of FtM/transmasculinity I've seen in manga and it was surprisingly well-done. I'm really, really glad to see this here. I've known 4 FtM people, one of which is a current housemate, and they've been all but invisible in the real world. Maybe it's kind of strange for a lesbian to be friends with transmen, but all four of them are some of the nicest people I've ever met.

I'm kind of wondering, though, "levelledloot" there has all of 5 posts and every single one is complaining about how trans people and "leftists" and so on are taking over the planet. Really, click their name and read their posts. Two complaints about cheating, one about recent yuri seeming too prideful or political, and THIS.

How does a site like this attract people like that? That has GOT to be some creepy incel who just comes here for yuri smut, ugh.

I'm okay with this either way. True yuri would have been nice, but it's possible for friendships to be as deep as romantic love. It would be nice to have a friend like this someday.

Hi. Not going to entertain too many posts in this topic. The user asked a question, let's answer that question.

This is not legal advice, I do not know Canadian laws. However, what I say will generally apply to most relevant countries.

You are not under any threat of prosecution for visiting a website hosting degenerate content. You are not under any threat of prosecution from even going so far as to accidentally click or view illegal, degenerate content. If you were, Twitter and Reddit would be legally precarious sites on their own. You are responsible for the specific content you regularly access of your own volition. On the topic, if you view NSFW content in general, you may wish to read up on specific guidelines for the depiction of fictional characters of certain ages. I doubt there is a concrete answer to this latter question, as legal precedent is finicky on its own.

Best of luck in Canada. Take care.

Edit: If you are still at ill ease, keep an eye on your ISP-linked (or billing) email address. If you're doing something the government doesn't like, your ISP is very likely going to let you know about it long before law enforcement will.

THIS is what I was hoping for. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it out there. I'm just curious about the last one, though: do ISPs actually warn people? Because this sounds like political and social radioactive waste, something an unreasonable response to would get widespread social approval due to people not wanting to be guilty by association. As much as lolicon squicks me, I know the difference between a drawing and a person, and would rather paedos sate themselves on drawings than people...

I am being deadly serious, and also did not know there were Canadian posters. I figured it was all Americans and Europeans.

There's also kind of a big difference between "pirating media from another country" and "hosting what the law lumps in with actual child sexual abuse imagery." For one thing, no country is going to do very much about the first, I suspect. Please don't misunderstand, I think equating drawings with actual people is beyond stupid, but force of law is force of law and I'd rather not be on the wrong side of it.

Do posters from other countries browse through VPNs, or...?

I really, really like this one. It's soothing and gentle somehow.

So, with any luck, a year or so from now I'll be a Canadian.

This site hosts some material with the Lolicon tag, which in addition to grossing me out incredibly, is as I understand it illegal in Canada.

What, then, is the legality of accessing this site from the great white north? Would I end up in jail because of some of the stuff hosted here? I'd hate to miss out on the genuinely good content because of the admins' decision to host that sludge here...

Motherfuc-

Please just tell her, I beg of you....although I'm kinda doing that to my crush but...>.>'

now haven't we all gone thru this situation before

I made the mistake of "letting her know" in 9th grade. And I still bear the scars of that decision and its fallout more than twice that age later.

Trans women are women, full stop. They're not cis women, but they are women, and I will treat them as such.

Why is this difficult? Yes, I came perilously close to TERFdom in college, but meeting a few transwomen and becoming friends with them and learning from them put a stop to that. A hell of a lot of the same arguments thrown at us 30-50 years ago are now being leveled at trans people, specifically transwomen.

And even at my near-TERFiest, I never felt threatened by them. At no point did the existence of transwomen make me feel less of a woman, less of a lesbian, or otherwise diminished. Yes, I have a very strong genital preference, but that's not transphobia or bigotry, and it's kind of moot anyway since I'm taken already and don't sleep around. No, I wouldn't have sex with a transwoman who still has boy bits, but that's on me, not her.

@Lilliwyt, please understand that it is actually a working legal defense in most of the US to kill someone because s/he didn't reveal being trans to you. Is that dumb and dishonest? Yes, but not a death penalty offense. Trans people are some of the most vulnerable people in the nation both a priori and because of the socioeconomic barriers that come with being so rare, mismatched, and ill-understood. Words do not directly kill, but they do contribute to keeping people in danger.

THAT is what "trans rights are human rights" means, okay? It's no different from "black lives matter." It's not saying "...and other lives/rights don't/aren't," it's "...and these rights/lives are being and have been systematically disvalued, so let's do something about that."

Aya looks scarily like me, and acts like I did too (until the trainwreck part starts). I would never have let things go as far as she has, but some of this feels kind of personal...

Denial can be a powerful thing. Depression can make you unaware of your own emotions or unwilling to acknowledge them, even if you're super-insightful about other peoples'. It took me ages to admit being gay, and more or less had to have my first girlfriend beat it into my head.

You would not believe how many of us do the "just gals bein' pals, nothing lesbian here" thing to ourselves, for reasons ranging from ignorance to disbelief to fear to self-loathing. I sense depression in at least one of these girls, possibly both.

Me too, Cintai. Something about this is oddly healing...

I can so relate to being "woken up" by watching Sailor Moon. My first girlfriend got some really crappy RealMedia rips on CD (aaaagh, that was so long ago!) and more or less forced me to marathon it. It took all of three episodes to be hooked. Neptune and Uranus completely stole the show in season 3, they were just...amazing, and somehow managed not to be Mary Sues.

But my biggest ship was and still is Ami/Makoto. Ami was the one I could instantly relate to in a lot of ways and oh gods Makoto is gorgeous. And they're basically canon if that scene from the school dance in SuperS is any indication. It was really surprising to see that from something out of early 90s Japan. I owe Takeuchi Naoko my awakening and self-realization, and probably a lot of gay and bisexual women my age do...

I am amazed anyone remembers Yamibou. As the avatar here shows, it had...a profound effect on me. That woman is me in a spooky number of ways.

And yes, this weird little comic is giving me massive flashbacks.

This did my heart good to see. Bullies are scum and too many of them get away with it, only to grow up into even worse adults.

I suffered terribly from bullies as a girl, and the only way it stopped, mostly, was when I actually got physical with one of them. Now she did hit me first, but she ended up with three broken ribs, a broken nose, and a mild concussion ("What if she gets brain-damaged, Marissa?!" "So what? How would you be able to tell anyway?"). I got suspended for 2 weeks, too. But you know what I didn't get? Bullied, anymore. At least not to my face.

Yes, girls get physical too. Maybe it's because I grew up in some rough parts of NYC, but it's a thing that happens. This girl got lucky. If I could go back in time I'd physically harm all the ones who bullied me, and ones who hurt my friends, too. She's lucky all she got was emotional damage.

The bi-phobia from some of the commenters is as baffling as it is upsetting. Like, seriously, on a site that's all about WLW, what does it matter if one or both of the women is bisexual? Why would that make any difference?

No, the scary part is that the kouhai here is showing signs of potential abuse further down the road. I may just be oversensitive to that because my ex went insane on me after we moved in together, after 4 years of seeming perfectly kind and normal. But to inflict that kind of harm on someone, without even asking permission, is just predatory. I hope senpai has a good long talk with her about boundaries. And an escape plan.

Not the bloody point. People that young are not only not predators (as if a child could prey on an adult!), they aren't ready for sex, physically or emotionally.

I was 9 when my periods started, and my sister was 8. By some definitions, that means we were "ready for sex." We were children. At 9 what I was ready for was fourth grade.

Yes, "it's a drawing." I'm sure there are drawings of other things you'd find objectionable enough to wish banned, and which would make you seriously wonder about the sanity and/or morals of people who enjoy them.

I didn't even read this, and refuse to. Instead, I came here to ask a question hopefully the mods will see:

WHY is this sort of material allowed on here?!

I've worked with survivors of human trafficking, incest, and various other forms of abuse. Most of them were underage when it happened. And well over half the time, their abusers would say something like "she came on to me!" or "It's obvious she wanted it!" or some other variation on that theme. From reading the previous comments it sounds like that trope is being played to the hilt with this one.

Now...I get it. Freedom of speech. no one is actually being harmed, etc etc. I get it. And very likely no one reading this is going to lay hands on a child, or think it's okay to. But I do think it's time this sort of material was removed from the site and banned from further uploads.

Blehhh, that two-timing asshole and Little Miss Twintails both need to take a quick trip down several flights of stairs. They deserve one another.

Though, what bothers me most about this is they're calling Kurokawa-san ugly. She's not ugly, not even "Hollywood homely." Maybe it's just the art style, but I think she's gorgeous, and much prefer her to the protagonist.

I don't like the premise here (though the ending helped a bit with that) but, ohhh my gods, the art was amazing. This is an artist who knows what lesbian sex is like. Specifically I notice Makoto using her middle and ring fingers, which is how fingering a lover would work in that position. This was a nice visual treat if you ignore the storyline. Brought back some good memories, too <3
