@astree_sryo@suwatsonn So if it can't be in fiction how exactly are you suggesting that people explore grooming, be it being groom of what it may look like and how it can be vastly different for people so that people better understand it and how uncomfortable it is? THROUGH REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE???
@KittyM64175228@hell_line0 I mean, based on that additional data, I suppose the math leaves potentially 64 in the 36+ months prior to July 2024 that are unaccounted for in data covering the past 21 months.
@clddayss@ruinmeruinus_ Genuine question, if a person tells you about something that happened to them in like a DM or in person or something, do you go, "nah, bruh, I don't like you talking about yourself in first person. Please tell me what happened referring to yourself in third person, kthx"?
@ShadedPyre "Man" can refer to mankind, ie humans, especially when used like in "duality of man" rather than if it had been "duality of men" or "duality of a man".
Op is saying that people liking and disliking VNs with the same reasoning is a duality of humanity.
@Dainanaoji_pro7 The rather literal translation of the title is "How to make a maiden in love" though. They based the English title off of the JP one.
Koisuru otome = "maiden/girl in love"
tsukurikata = "how to make/create"
Regardless of its genre the title is still making a "girl" in JP.
@Dainanaoji_pro7@gomanga They actually kept the spirit of the original title. おとめ means maiden/girl. If you have a problem with the title in English, have a problem with the title in Japanese too.
@SinoopyS@AskrSMNBrandon@DanGreenVoices The law is indeed the law and using creative work for propaganda is far less likely to pass as fair use than if you use a clip of a speech or a documentary. Using someone's voice can also fall under illegal use.
So, yeah, no, it's absolutely not legal by default.
@mudarra5@LesNuitsFauves1@HazelAppleyard No one said it changes anything.
Affirming (adjective): showing or expressing recognition of worthiness or validity

Ie, it's about care that allows you to express your gender regardless of what sex you were assigned at birth.
@deathwing1306@CatWomaniya You need to start looking at men's crotches, mate. If that's her whole thing, men spreading are showing just as much is not more.
@JohnnieMcForMS@meishato The Unites States of America has 1. A large Spanish-speaking population, and 2. literally no official language.
One could sing in, idk, Swahili and it wouldn't be unpatriotic because, again, you have no official language.
@deathwing1306@CatWomaniya You do know men spread their legs all the time? No reasonable person would have thought he showed off on purpose unless he was looking at the camera while literally pointing at his crotch.
@ThirstyyTiger Just a guess but objectification & sexualisation go hand-in-hand & is part of a culture that, if not encourages, at least doesn't stop men from normalising assault as much as it doesn't stop them from making women (& children) uncomfortable with sexual comments. Maybe it's that.
@GloryMoa@Knoebelbroet@MetamateDaz Sweet child. You literally got your whole adult life ahead of you. Like literally if we base adulthood on brain development. Childhood is when you're limited to what adults let you have. Adulthood is when you're limited by how creative you get with spending your resources.
@EepyLolita@Macaza109@villainvultures@yoriwantsbrkfst Yo. Ppl can be straight and ace-spec. Don't gatekeep people from their own identities. They aren't mutually exclusive. Surveys also show that people don't have the same definition of straight. Just romantic attraction, just sexual or both are all interpretations of "straight".
@GildedPardus@BunionCarl@CelestineLives@MockingByrd1337 I need the pancake meme because you did clearly not read what I wrote.
The alternative is that you're an uneducated individual who thinks they're so smart for knowing words like imbecile while lacking proper education, so I'm offering you a lot of grace assuming the above.
