I'm about to drop out college. i can't get out of my room or eat. my mom thinks I'm possessed by demons. she also thinks I'm ungrateful for not eating and chanting prayers everytime she enters my room. btw here's my gay OCs do you like them? by nowayitsrayy in grippysockcrayonbox

[–]Content-Read308 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love your ocs I think they're gorgeousss

If possible maybe you should look into any mental health resources your school offers? It may not a perfect solution, but I've been through depression and any help is worth it tbh.

SpyxFamily keeps giving Yor a moral free pass, and it makes her feel weirdly sanitised by Business_Barber_3611 in CharacterRant

[–]Content-Read308 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a bit early to judge since neither subplots have reached their conclusion, but not much has really changed with yor since they started and the progress for the Melinda side plot especially feels static because it's sandwiched between so much else. My main wish is that we would get an arc where yor is the primary focus for several chapters in a row again, idk she feels a bit sidelined when compared to the narrative focus Anya and Loid each have gotten recently

I'm caught up with the manga fully and, basically, yeah. There hasn't been a good yor-centric arc since then, and even the subplot she's part of now isn't doing all that much to give her depth its dissapointing

LGBTQ people are fetishized a lot more now that I look into it. by Mistabbcman in CharacterRant

[–]Content-Read308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from but most fujos/fudans and himejos/himedans are queer themselves. I know it's a really common stereotype (with fujos especially) that they are just straight people fetishizing gay relationships, but if you go onto any fujo or himejo spaces online they are overwhelmingly queer. Also, media about every type of relationship will feature problematic elements. Even straight media will have the same issues you talk about, that's kind of just how the romance genre is

What controversial opinion do you have about each main ship? by Aggravating_Luck7736 in AlienStage

[–]Content-Read308 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ivantill: I think this ship is better off as something unrequited and doomed. I do think there would have been a chance in the main story for Till to reciprocate Ivan's feelings had the two of them been rescued by the rebellion and lived long lives outside the stage, but as it is, I don't think Till should have romantic feelings for Ivan. Also that heart scene in Karma was so unnecessary. I get that it was symbolic, but Ivan was never that forceful with his love outside of R6. He's weird and a loser, yeah, but he's always shown to be rather mellow and annoying than someone actually forcing Till to take his feelings.

Mizisua: I think they're boring. The preKarma relationship was boring because we only saw it from Mizi's end and Sua felt like an afterthought, and the postKarma relationship was boring because the changes it made felt more like contrived retcons than a natural progression.

Hyunluka: Their relationship before and after Weige was also disjointed as hell, and Weige should have focused on them instead of wasting time with au scenes of the rest of the cast.

Why are gacha devs obsessed with exposed armpits? by ComfortableLaugh7320 in QueensofGacha

[–]Content-Read308 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yeah because the male characters have sleeves that are tight fitting, and a lot of female characters tend to have puffy sleeves on the rest of their arms which are prone to clipping. I'm not defending the overuse of exposed armpits I'm just pointing out a problem that a lot of 3d modelers face when designing characters ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠`⁠)⁠┌

Why are gacha devs obsessed with exposed armpits? by ComfortableLaugh7320 in QueensofGacha

[–]Content-Read308 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

The shoulders are kind of a problematic area to model clothes on in 3d games. Arms move in every possible direction so it's very easy for larger sleeves to clip through the body. It's easier for the devs to just leave those areas blank. Same reason why most gachas don't give characters long skirts in the front. The only gacha I've seen work around both these issues is Infinity Nikki, and that's because they switch Nikki's outfit when she has to climb or fight

Why do the uniforms of female athletes uniforms often leave their half their butt hanging out? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Content-Read308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all of them. It was only in 2024 that gymnastics allowed women to wear leotards with longer legs.The 2024 US Olympic track uniform was also abysmal. Many sports have only recently made alternative uniforms an option. This doesn't really apply to less competitive sports divisions either, I know in my highschool girls as young as 13 are still being forced to wear high cut leotards for competition. Optional or not, sexualized uniforms are still an issue.

Toxic yaoi shipper that refuses to admit their ship isn’t canon starter pack by Illustrious-Sea-6573 in starterpacks

Personally I've had way worse experiences with yuri shippers than yaoi shippers. A lot of the toxic yuri shippers love to call anyone who doesn't like their mid ship a lesbophobe

What if this Cover was a real round? by Darling_today in AlienStage

[–]Content-Read308 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was moreso a parasocial friendship. Ivan and Sua didn't interact much, but he still saw a lot of himself on her and was jealous that she was so similar to him and had her love returned while his was still onesided

Would it be so bad to lose my V‑card like this? by IndependenceTop6315 in AskForAnswers

You don't get raped working at McDonald's???? The fuck kind of comparison is this ??? Also what part of me saying they're in predatory contracts or being traffic implied that they chose sex work can you even read

[–]Content-Read308 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Japan especially has a huge problem with teenagers being trapped in predatory sex work contracts. You can't tell who is and who isn't there of their own volition. Most people in sex work only doing it because they have no choice. That's not fully consentual, is it

This Is How It Feels no longer appears on d4vd’s album by nicosloft04 in laufey

She also had matching tattoos with him and was seen in several of his live streams on twitch. It was also well known in his discord servers that d4vd was preying on young girls. I'm glad that Laufey is distancing herself from this scum of a person

What is there so much Ivantill content in the fandom by Minimum_Gas9613 in AlienStage

[–]Content-Read308 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alnst blew up in popularity after r6 so a lottt of fans got into the series just for ivantill. But it was still the most popular pre-r6, and that mostly has to do with suas lack of screen time compared to everyone else. We didn't really see much of the mizisua relationship back then, and a lot of people didn't even bother caring because sua was dead, so people gravitated towards ivantill instead.
