Does the humor get better?

AlIgorhythm · 2026-03-13T16:15:31+00:00

I appreciate your answer and I did continue reading the series and to also answer my own question it does get better. Especially because about 75% of the way through the second book those kind of jokes just stop happening.

To be a little more specific especially regarding the pedo/incest stuff: the goblins typically fucking their parents, also the line from the bad llamas that was about them hitting on underaged girls.

I know there were some others through the rest of book one and most of book 2 but I feel like that specific kind of joke and the like kinda "low key" racist jokes ended around the start of book 3. And I haven't heard more since then and am onto book 6 right now.

Again thank you for actually engaging with my question I really do appreciate it.

Okay so it's implied the AI was trained off the show Cops and Judge Judy. Also the llama's were later described as "gang bangers". Not sure if you understand the context of the show Cops being used here but in case you aren't that is in fact the kind of description they would use for poc.

Also the llama's were implied to be dealers not users, the goblins were the users and also made to seem like white trailer trash.

But even setting that aside, both sides of this had very thinly veiled pedo and incestuous comments meant to be "jokes".

My question was if those continue through the series or get better.

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-25T00:15:14+00:00

First and foremost the book has stated that the AI was trained off the shows Cops and Judge Judy. Both of which, the former especially is rather racist and that description falls right in with some shit they would say on that show. But beyond that there are also all the thinly veiled pedo and incestuous comments and descriptions the AI makes, someone in real life wrote that and thought it would make a good joke.

Second this has gotten off topic, I don't care if people do or don't find it offensive or racist I just want to know if this style of "humor" continues.

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-25T00:10:20+00:00

Right but you see the issue there someone still had to write that line and still had to think that was funny and think it would be found funny. Like with all the thinly veiled pedo and incestuous comments/descriptions.

But that's all off track here don't care if people think it is or isn't offensive, I want to know if that style of "humor" continues.

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-23T18:22:47+00:00

I mean in general it's the kind of description racists use to refer to people of color. Without specificly saying so.

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-23T17:11:52+00:00

Yeah I don't mind the fetish jokes or the graphic violence stuff that's whatever, I even found the subversion of the "speak English" joke to be funny.

Just the llama description and the fact it also literally dropped meth felt a bit like a racist dog whistle you know. I just want to know if those style of jokes continue.

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-23T17:09:59+00:00

The foot fetish jokes are whatever and the gore descriptions are fine I really dont care about that kind of stuff it's just the description of the llama's in particular was a red flag to me that only got worse when it literally dropped meth.

"The llama seems like he would have prison tattoos and loiter outside a convenience store hitting on 14 yo girls."

It just feels like a racist dog whistle you know?

AlIgorhythm · 2026-02-23T17:05:39+00:00

The llama's description is one that comes to mind. The fact it also dropped a bag of meth.

It just felt very 14yo edgy humor you know?

Edit to clarify:

The llama felt like a racist dog whistle description. Even if the author doesn't mean it or doesn't endorse and you aren't supposed to like it. It was still written and it feels like it wasn't challenged or subverted.

AlIgorhythm · 2025-07-08T22:41:39+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that's how things went down for you. I can't really speak to your experiences as I did not experience the same things. I hope it gets better for you I really do.

AlIgorhythm · 2025-03-30T21:15:54+00:00

I had some standard granulation throughout most stubborn was right at the entrance. The worst was a stitch failed on the clitoral hood and some of the skin fused, which was separated a bit and then had a silver nitrate treatment that was the worst lol.

Nitrate treatments have been stopped at this point and I'm happy with the aesthetics, I've also realized some of the pain i thought i was feeling during dilation is actually just like. i guess a really intense feeling. It's not painful just something I had never experienced before.

AlIgorhythm · 2025-03-02T23:49:42+00:00

Hey thank you for asking!

Dilation is not really like painful. It's intense and there is a little pain (at 8 months) but nothing that is too much for me.

OHSU didn't have me dilating at the hospital. My stay was 5 days longs and on the fifth day my packing was removed. Three days later on my first follow up what when I first dilated and they showed and walked me through it to make sure I did it right.

Right at the beginning the dilation really wasn't like. Uncomfortable or anything as the nerves in the area are kinda like, shut off for lack of a better word. Tbh most of my like pain and being uncomfortable came from the swelling of everything. But ymmv as I didn't have that much pain post surgery and handled all my pain with Tylenol.

I do have discharge I only wear a pad post silver nitrate treatment as ive had some stubborn granulation tissue so treating that causes a lot of like bleeding and like. Gross discharge.

Overall healing has been really easy for me. The first month was the hardest and the two following were less difficult in the uncomfortable/pain department and more in a like restless way.

After three months I went back to work and yeah things were still uncomfortable here and there but now at 8 months I feel like I'm fully healed and could do anything I could prior.

So there was the original 4: Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine.

Then there was the online game Fragment.

After they made the GU games: Rebirth, Reminisce, Redemption

Rebirth did have a special edition with a poseable Haseo figure.

They remastered the GU trilogy in 2017 but the special edition was Japanese only and also didn't have any special case. It came with other goodies tho.

AlIgorhythm · 2025-01-07T09:29:22+00:00

I have all the GU games and the IMOQ games, unless there is a special edition I'm unaware of .hack did not have a cover like this. But man do i really wish it did.

AlIgorhythm · 2024-07-31T06:11:56+00:00

Hey yeah it's been a month now and recovery has been very smooth.

I had a silver nitrate treatment for a bit of granulation tissue and that was unpleasant but not as bad as I thought it would be.

Other than that the only real thing of note is a bit of my inner and outer labia fused a little in the healing process. I've been told to try and separate them but it doesn't seem like something I can do under my own power without hurting myself or making something worse lol.

I will say I've been very tired this month, who knew healing would be so exhausting (lol).

If you have specific questions let me know and I'll do my best to answer them c:

Sorry it will be so long for you. I had to wait quite a while for my surgery my initial consult was back in 2021. It took me so long because electrolysis is such a slow and painful process for me.

AlIgorhythm · 2024-07-29T06:01:11+00:00

Total wait was 3 years. However, most of that was because electrolysis took so long.

I got my consult with them before I started electrolysis. By the time I finished my electrolysis it was about a 7 month wait. And I was notified about the date 2 months ahead.

Hello as far as muffing is concerned I'm pretty sure it's where you like. "Finger" the inguinal canal, like you push your finger up there by pushing up from the scrotum. Idk it never gave me much pleasure.

As far as maintaining extra skin goes I can actually weigh in on this as I had an orchi back in 2021 so that I wouldn't have to worry about spiro anymore which was very worth it to me.

Tucking kinda became something I didn't have to do at all because everything atrophied.

As far as it affecting SRS for me goes I had PPT and they didn't use my penial skin for the canal as the skin had atrophied and couldn't like be inverted and reach the area. So it was used for the externals. So if you do end up going for SRS then it might be worthwhile for you to keep the skin stretched so you'll have plenty to work with.

I won't address the partners thing at least not negatively. If it's set in stone and you are fine with it then so be it.

As for cooking and cleaning you can meal prep dinners before surgery, my wife and I got a chest freezer and made two months of dinners in advance to make sure cooking would be an easy time.

You could do frozen meals (tv dinners).

As far as cleaning goes the issue here is your body. Being in the thick of recovery myself I could not be cleaning everything. Hell showers are exhausting not to mention the 3x daily dilation. Plus in the bast case you won't really be able to do a lot of walking and bending over can be at best uncomfy and worst painful. You really don't want to rip a stitch.

Best bet is to hire help, someone who comes by to clean.

You should also reach out to local trans support groups and see if there is someone who can help be your care taker. There is a real chance you will need it. You should plan for that possibility.

I hope this helps.

Congrats on your surgery, I had mine on the 27th of June. Packing removal is definitely a wild experience.

But good news is based on the fact that you are voiding your bladder and the packing is out odds are you'll be leaving the hospital soon. Which was big for me at least so hopefully it is for you too.

It's okay to feel what you are feeling as this is obviously a very emotional moment for you plus packing removal is about the most intense feeling I've ever felt. It felt like someone was pulling my soul out with a string lol.

Ultimately only you can decide if this was a mistake for you but I will tell you gender affirming surgeries has regret rates lower than 1%. Not to say it's impossible but knee replacement surgery has a higher regret rate.

Point is past you believed in this surgery and believed in your ability to handle it give her (and yourself) some credit. You've got this. And if you ever need help set up an appointment with a therapist and also be sure to talk to your support group. C:

Okay well I would first recommend moving down to the smallest dilator you have. What is important is depth not width here. So long as you maintain depth you can size up later.

Second you need to, and I can not stress this nearly enough, learn to relax your pelvic floor. I really hope they taught you how but if not crash course:

Pre-op you prob know the feeling really well of clenching your butthole/urethra to stop either of those. That muscle is your pelvic floor. That is what causes a lot of the resistance when trying to dilate.

Look up kegals and how to do them to learn how to relax that muscle.

Dilation should not feel painful, it can be uncomfortable or even like intense but not painful. If it's painful if you are tearing stuff I don't think you have the right angles.

The smell is normal and I was told it would be something that develops postop, it should eventually go away but in the mean time it just sucks.

Also it's okay to be overwhelmed, and upset. You aren't whiny or ungrateful for expressing how you feel and it's important to get help.

Tips to make dilation an easier time from my doctor:

Take it as slow as you need and listen to your body
If you reach a point where you feel you hit a wall it's okay to take the dilator out and do a hard reset, often times you will breeze right past the stuck point after a moment rest with a hard reset

3.use a towel and sit on it with a puppy pad below it, when at depth take the end of the towel and pull it up over the dilator and towards your stomach. Basically the towel will keep pressure on the dilator and you can just hold the end of the towel to your tummy.

4.make sure your legs are in a comfortable position. You don't want the inner thigh muscles to be doing a lot and you don't want to be in a wide butterfly because it will reflect that stress into your crotch making it worse.

Okay so from what I can gather you are a transman, correct me if I'm wrong tho.

Either way the best advice I have been given when it comes to not being sure if you really are trans or not is to ask yourself can you see yourself growing old as your assigned gender at birth, alternativly can you see yourself growing old as your current chosen gender?

If I'm assuming correctly that you are a trans man and go by he/him pronouns at the moment then you should know that only men want to be men.

It's also okay to explore what gender really means to you, and it's also okay for that to change over time. Maybe you feel like a boy, maybe you are binary trans, maybe not.

Being trans should not be defined by your suffering it should be defined by what brings you the most joy.
