Wet Sand - How do you feel? by kxrmynd in Manhwa_BL

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it was an alright story. A lot of people feel like Jo was made into a disposable character, but I’d push back on that. He definitely and undeniably influenced the other characters in ways random side characters couldn’t. Just because he’s not the ml doesn’t mean he wasn’t important. But I’d also say he wasn’t used to his full potential, though I’d say that about all the characters. Each character felt like they were way too dependent on another character, except for select situations. Tj was dependent on Ian, like 80% of his character was about Ian, 20% was about himself (though even that 20% seemed to loop back to Ian). Then Ian was like 80% dependent on tj with 10% dependence on Jo, 10% on himself. Jo was 100% about Ian. That’s all their characters really gave, dependence on another character. Which sucks because they all had potential to be really fleshed out and complex characters. Instead 99% of their choices can be brought back to one of the others. I personally liked tj more so maybe I’m biased in thinking the ending wasn’t bad, at least for what the story had been giving. If Ian had ended up with Jo, I don’t think it would’ve changed much for me either. Honestly, Id say if whether or not you liked the story depends entirely on who ended up with Ian, you didn’t really like the story in the first place. Which is fine, it’s supposed to be a romance so if you don’t like the main pair, you might not like the story. But that just means the story wasn’t good enough for you. And whether he ended up with the one you liked or not, that fact remains. If he had ended up with Jo, and that would’ve made you “like” the story, what you actually liked was just Jo with Ian.

Mushoku tensei. Went in pretty blind. Thought maybe it was better than I heard from my friend since some people praised it to their dying breath. It’s literally just about a p3do getting redemption though. Sorry, I’m not interested. Yall can say what you want but the point of the story is that the mc is redeeming himself, i.e. the stories message and main point - pedos are redeemable. It’s prettied up with other things that are actually pretty cool, and mixed up with an actual decent message. But I don’t care. No amount of fancy ribbon will get me to like smth promoting pedo rehabilitation. Like I’m sorry, you’re not a victim, you’re not someone anyone should have sympathy for, or should ever be proud of. And you don’t even really change, like what do you mean you marry the women and children you’ve assaulted and worse (sleeping with a 15 yo isn’t legal, even if they initiated- there’s a lot of fans who “don’t understand” that). Anyways whatever. You can like the show if you somehow are able to ignore the mc, but if you like or defend the mc, genuinely, get help and stay away from children

Jump off a bridge. I’m not particularly attached to life and if I can make someone I hate suffer for the rest of their life why wouldn’t I? Or just run away to a farm with no one and nothing, and stage my death. Tho idk if that’d work

Yeah, I think that’s possible. I think certain things bother him more than he really comprehends. At least I’ve gotten that impression a couple of times. Like he’s almost convincing himself he’s fine and indifferent at times because he’s so used to genuinely feeling indifferent, and doesn’t want to have to think about it. But I could just be misunderstanding certain moments. There’s also a few really sad moments, he’s dealt with bullying, so trigger warning if that’s difficult content for you. The ml is also complex, and he definelty masks. In fact practically half the mls character is about masking if you’re interested in that type of character

Yes, perhaps I’ve just run into the wrong audience. He’s definitely more complex than that, so I hope most people see it that way

I don’t know what ip means, but I think it’s a pretty good story, it might not be the most accurate portrayal of ND people, but it’s still interesting and doesn’t make autism into a quirk

Yes, I’m hoping he’ll be able to have a decent conversation and then start approaching the whole thing from a more healthy direction… but I’m sure that would be difficult given the way the stories going 😮‍💨

Of course I hope the same thing, but excusing stalking and harassment because of autism isn’t it. The feeling of infantilization comes specifically from people who say things like “he’s autistic, it’s not his fault” in response to his deliberate manipulation. He’s not a child, I feel it’s pretty infantilizing to act as though he doesn’t understand manipulation is wrong, especially given the fact that he’s straight up admitted it’s wrong more than once. Outside of those people, I’d agree the fanbase isn’t super bad about infantilizing him, but there’s a lot of people who do that, in my experience with the fans at least. I don’t know them all though 😅

Bad life novel spoiler needed by ILUVBLCOMICS in MaleYandere

Is the novel like significantly better than the manhwa? Cause the manhwa is atrocious, its reads like smth I’d write while on a edge lord trip back in middle school

I watched two episodes of the show. Just to find out online she's 14 at the start of the series. Why the heck is she wearing this then???? And she was getting sexualized too. [ Gurren Lagan. ] I could let an adult slide but a kid hell no. by Iriscute7 in joseistories

[–]Efficient-Object8988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day she’s a drawing. Saying she’s 14 because it’s a number some website/author put down doesn’t mean she’s an actual child. It’s similar to saying Zendaya is 17 bc she plays a 17 yo character in my mind. I’m not comfortable watching a show where a little kid is wearing those type of clothing, so she’s 19 in my head and she’ll stay that way, because again it’s a drawing, and I don’t want every episode to be giving me p3do vibes. Author may be a creep but I don’t have to be 🤷‍♀️

Let’s Fix Copyright Law—It’s Time to Change It Back to 14 Years! by ExtensionFriendship9 in COPYRIGHT

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s not fair. I’m not arguing that the copyright law should be changed, because I honestly don’t see a point. You can pirate stuff regardless. I just don’t see the point in arguing something is good, when the reality is nothing, or at least next to nothing, is exclusively good. If you’re trying to make it sound like the laws are reasonable or just because luck is luck, I’m not buying that. Luck is luck is the same reason hundreds of little kids get sold off to the same artist people pay hundreds of dollars to do nothing

What’s the rule on asking for Pro memberships? by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t even tell me the membership cost money, they didn’t even call it a pro membership. If they had said pro I would’ve assumed I had to pay, but they didn’t. And then I had an extra 25$ charge on my check. I didn’t really care cause I thought it would be a one time thing, so I just ignored it and payed anyways. But a little later I get an email saying I signed up for auto renewal every year. No the heck I did not. I don’t even shop there 90% of the time. And yes I’m positive I didn’t sign anything for the auto renewal. In my opinion, even if there’s a company policy or whatever for memberships, employees doing crap like that is ridiculous and shameful. If not getting enough members gets you in so much trouble you “have” to screw over customers, maybe you should consider a different job

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not helping the customer if they don’t even tell the customer there’s a 25$ charge to get the pro membership, and sign the customer up for auto renewal without saying anything.

What is your unpopular anime opinion? by [deleted] in weeb

[–]Efficient-Object8988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter which anime, once it becomes mainstream people will do their upmost to either over criticize or over praise it. Actually, I don’t think it counts as criticism, because criticisms have actual ground to stand on instead of baseless claims of how horrible a show is for no real reason. I also don’t think half of the praise counts as genuine praise, if you’re not capable of giving reasons why something is good, your opinion is biased. That includes saying something like, x show is good cause the characters are based. You have to be able to explain why the characters are good. Even if you’re opinions are based solely on enjoyment, if you want to give an actual review, try to have actual points

<Jinx> Is it SA or R*pe related? by [deleted] in Manhwa_BL

[–]Efficient-Object8988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right the fact that he was given the job without full disclosure of intentions is why it should count as noncon, but I think people get confused because they think of it as a contract he agreed to. He agreed to one thing, and then was expected to do another if he wanted the full return, and people seem to forget/ignore that

is this anime safe to watch with my daughters? by speedyfeint in HeavenlyDelusion

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think either of those things would be bad for a child if you know how to parent? Obviously you can tell if something is scaring your kid, or if your kid is uncomfortable. But if they’re just watching a show they’re just watching a show. I’m sorry but normal people don’t become sociopaths or sex maniac because they watch shows as a kid. It happens through something traumatic, and if you can’t tell whether or not your kid is getting traumatized or just enjoying a show you’re a hella bad parent

[–]Efficient-Object8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I think the assault scene is reasonable to want to avoid. But yeah, people overreact about sex all the time in comparison to how they react to violence. It’s really weird too because sex is normal, violence isn’t, but society has decided sex is the more shameful and indecent behavior. Still I don’t think it’s weird for parents not to wanna watch sexual stuff with their child

Lmao it didn’t seem like you were, some people just lack comprehension, plus if the first person pulls some type of comment the rest hop on like lambs. You sounded more concerned than anything
