People looove to repackage their discomfort w/ sexually open women as feminism & it leads them straight down lesbiphobia alley on misogyny lane. But they'll never change, because it feels good to feel morally righteous over your sexual preferences

Kamiina botan is sending me into heat, god I need her bad lol. These fucking volume covers like goddd she's so hot (honorary gujo bc that outfit also does things to me). I may need to buy a leotard

Funny enough pretty much everything people complain abt in anime designs as "making them look like kids" (when it's not intended) exists in US cartoons on adult characters too. They're just ugly & american so people don't nitpick as much.

Behold, a loli (she's only 4 heads tall you pedo)

If head size is all it takes to determine a loli, then behold! A loli

Yeah at a certain point of performing outrage for internet points it starts seeming like you've never seen humans b4 lol. They're proportioned as adults, w/ adult fat distribution & even pretty big tits on avg. Only childish thing is the big head which is a given in animation, helps w/ expressions

Insecure anime fan's conception of how age should be depicted:

High school -> default anime style

18+ -> built like a teacher from a hentai

30+ -> prune

Seen ppl saying the kamiina botan girls don't look their age and wtf do people think 20 year olds look like? No shit they could pass for high schoolers, they're only like 3 years older lol. Biggest changes in that period are demeanor & fashion & I think they got those parts down

上伊那ぼたん、砺波いぶき

Curious, what's the conflict? I've actually only heard of this game recently because of people having various different takes on the in-game romance system but idk much else

Kamiina Botan is gonna kill this poor lesbian if she keeps drinking with her lol. Girl somehow always finds the horniest possible way to suggest anything to her and poor Ibuki has no resistance to her

And she doesn't reconcile or even meet with kiyotsugu again either! She's sympathetic to him & sends him helpers, but you can't just go back to normal after how he treated her even if the catalyst wasn't his fault.

S3 could fuck it all up still unforch, but as it stands for now it's great

I was holding my breath through the entirety of avemuji's airing for this reason, and while it was a relief when they dodged it in the end it baffles me that a weirdly large portion of the audience thinks that's a *weakness*. No, it's a good thing they didn't rehabilitate sadaharu's image actually

Was looking up the definition of an anime game genre I'd never heard of and ran into a site saying this. Real rancid vibes to "otome, BL, and WLW" lol. There seems to be the same aversion to saying "yuri" or even "GL" that there is to saying "lesbian". What're you scared of, excluding men? lol

Hell, funny enough the first time I really thought about this aspect of posing was bc I was trying to figure out why I felt like Aijou Karen projected so much more power than most female superheroes I saw. It was the posing. She still pigeon toes sometimes but she projects power when it counts

Someone on twitter critiqued anime for how the girls are very often pigeon toed, but a key thing to acknowledge here is this is NOT an anime only issue lol. Pigeon toes specifically I think are more popular in anime, but posing to make women small & men big to enforce gender is rampant everywhere

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Anyway I think I'm done w/ fandom grievances today lol. It's not fully petty since it's based in real bigotry, but it's also not like it's a big deal. I'm just grouchy online lol

And yeah while I do understand subjective preferences, when it comes to favoring men in a patriarchy it definitely requires more introspection for if it comes from misogyny. ESPECIALLY if you're gonna then say your preferences are superior to girl likers. The superiority complex is misogynistic

Like god the way some *rgopro fans talk shit about bandori makes me wanna become an *rgopro hater just on principle. I won't bc I try not to hate on things I haven't even tried & know aren't meant for me, but a certain SOME people don't seem to respect that on their end lol

Similarly, I can understand if someone is just attracted to men and prefers to mostly follow them for entertainment. Esp gay men. It's part of subjective preferences. Just acknowledge that instead of expecting me to agree w/ yours while you shit on what I resonate w/. Esp when patriarchy favors men

Gacha franchises can have amazing writing (particularly in anime adaptations ime) but like. It's not literature. I'll read about men if there's a theme the story explores that I'm really into. Gacha franchises structurally can't do that how I'd want & too many hot men discomfort me

I'm not saying cute boy franchises are worse, but why tf would you think I'd AGREE w/ you that they're better? Idgaf what happens in *rgopro or *nstars, they will never connect with me like avemygo did. They could be written equally well, but I will never connect as much w/ them as I do w/ girls

Also how many fans of cute boy gachas talk as if it's common sense their stories are better than cute girl ones pmo lol. Consider: I'm not into men, I don't identify w/ them, & I feel no shame loving women. Why do you think I'd connect more w/ the boys? O/w what "objective" measure are you using?

I'll still admit some of my annoyance is petty as hell tho lol. Even when there's no actual issue it still bothers me bc I'm a petty & boring person. I just try not to say anything then bc like that's 100% on me. But the superiority complex some seem to have saying that shit is def an issue

In essence there's nothing wrong w/ just playing dolls like this o/c. But I feel like most of the time I see it there's an air of "all fictional women just SUCK so bad I HAVE to do this!" which is total bs & misogynistic itself lol. 0 slack for girls, but guys can be written however tf & be loved

"Girl casts are all too feminine" idk why it's easier to hc men as butch than women as butch. Hell, a lot of female casts have masc girls that could easily be nudged further. Many of those men aren't very masc either lol.

I'll never understand the queer women who only like male dominated stories but hc them all as lesbians instead. Nothing personal against them o/c, but it does still make me double take when I see a fandom where that's very common lol. At that point why not just try out some female dominated ones?

Ah nice! Yeah not exactly the same but I think it's close enough lol
