@NBinted And what is up with someone always talking about escapism and games not needing to be like real life.. like i promise the civil war didnt traumatize YOU, so what are you tryna escape from? Just remembering that slavery was abolished (in America)? 😭
There’s no such thing as “barely legal” women.
There’s no such thing as “junior women”.
There’s no such thing as “mature minors”.
You can’t “have sex” with a child.
It’s rape.
The Epstein survivors were children who were raped.
Language matters.
@Pixiethefr18233@vetaflins They care more about getting likes for their funny image or being pushed to the top of the comments for adding a photo than like.. being a regular human being.
@shoujostal Sharing a couple of mine, the last two were just how good it felt seeing the top comment be EXACTLY how you felt too. But some things cant be shown in a single image: like the people who always commented collages of the most beautiful art of that chapter!
Dozens of English print manga are impossible to acquire via "official" means because they went out of print and licensing was LOST during the Manga Publishing Crash at the end of the 2000s. Ex-TokyoPop staff during layoffs were quoted as saying other publishers wouldn't spend the money or time to save lost licensing because it was cheaper to just fill the hole in the market with their already acquired and new series. I am willing to bet the 52$ copy of Strawberry Marshmallow below is a beat up ex-library copy with wear and marks all over it - because it always is if its under 70$.
Archival sites will always be important unless everyone becomes very fluent in all languages real fast-like. It's good to pay the creator for their content, and there are means to do so - but that doesn't make unavailable content any more available.
Archival sites are being taken down left and right in-full for single publisher's vendettas and official online platforms, like Fakku are being met with pressure from credit Card Processors to remove anything that might dare offend their religious sensibilities.
If you don't see how this can cause accessibility issues you are either blind or snobbishly rich.
@athyukis I just wish I had a chance to save my lists, I apparently joined the disc right after the warning and heard nothing for the 1-2 months prior to this loss 😭
Oh and for some series the comments would add context that the novels had but were skipped over or shortened in the manhwa/manhua. I liked that! It made some scenes make 100x more sense
@zerobasejeans Also I loved the comments when I read psych horror or particularly upsetting chapters in general.. me and the commenters were holding hands while we suffered 😭
@moonlitgamer01@gachagoblin97 I didnt realize until these replies how many people were insecure about their partners playing otome games omfg? 💀 how weak is your relationship that them liking someone who doesn’t exist will make it crumble
@gordabajona@Killjoyous_ Essentially did. At least in the beginning they are very insistent about how young she is and how shes barley an adult who doesn’t know anything about their realm or whatever
