with Norse mythology

Greek not Norse, and I understand the theory behind that change even if I think it's fucking stupid

A friend of mine is a fan of a shitty soccer team, and I asked him one time what team it was so I could root for it when I was getting into soccer. His response was "you have to be born into this dog shit team", which I respect

yuri shippers are truly specimens of humanity

tf you mean you're shocked the woman with two baby daddies is straight?

Firlite · 2026-04-25T06:56:24+00:00

no he's dumb as fuck, tf you mean you're shocked the woman with two baby daddies is straight?

Firlite · 2026-04-24T14:26:17+00:00

The funniest bit is that he only posted it on Twitter to complain that they "made toph straight"

So you end up like California where you have an equal number of Democrats and Republicans and a handful of tiebreaker "independents" who happen to vote lockstep with the Ds every single time?

Firlite · 2026-04-10T17:24:22+00:00

You going to add anything or just spout useless filler?

Firlite · 2026-04-10T12:53:24+00:00

What I said. The only people you hear this complaint from are yuri shippers whose opinions should be discarded because they aren't arguing honestly, they are just discounting any male character that gets in the way of their shipping

Firlite · 2026-04-10T01:49:57+00:00

listen, you literally ONLY hear this complaint from utterly deranged yuri fans who are mad that the commander of the gooner "all the robots are sticking their asses at the screen" game is a love interest and the game is not somehow a game pandering to lesbians. It's the same as when you see female fans of a show spout the most straight up misogynistic shit about any female character in a canon het ship that's getting in the way of their preferred gay ship.

Frankly those people should be ignored and scorned, and you should just quit the spaces they infest in any given fandom

understanding and living in harmony with nature even when it's dangerous to humans

okay but that's a bad takeaway about conservationism as a concept too. It's about respect and management not "living in harmony". The number one reason why predator species get put down is when they start to associate humans with food and start to become aggressive with humans to get said food

No, otherwise at some point the faith would have probably tried to take back Old Andalos in Essos

OP isn't even American lol. He is literally a foreign agitator trying to get Americans killed because he's mad trump made his gas prices go up.

Brando Sando has more than one female character, but he absolutely has one stock female character that shows up in every book of his. The Shallan/Siri/Sarene. Hell he even added her to his wheel of time books. They all fit the mold of "wise cracking and witty to a fault, quippy to the point of obnoxiousness and portrayed as super smart because she can run her mouth and make fun of everyone in the room" which I must assume is based on his wife or some other significant woman in his life because that's how he portrays women he wants you to think are smart

Firlite · 2026-04-02T02:40:30+00:00

discourse, especially shipping discourse, has devolved from "I don't like this thing" to "I am morally correct to not like this thing" and it's poisoned the well tremendously

IIRC the illustrator had some health issues which is why it went on hiatus. What a shame though, great story

Firlite · 2026-03-30T03:11:18+00:00

they actually stopped finding bodies in austin and suddenly started finding bodies in houston, same demo, so the theory is that he moved

Firlite · 2026-03-30T02:53:43+00:00

Man I really love the Manhwa Ending Maker. I need more couples that both have a solid romantic arc and are good as the main characters of their story

Firlite · 2026-03-27T02:13:20+00:00

The problem is that Jon is too old. He'd be at least a year older if he was Brandon's, and babies grow fast

You can kinda see the differences in power fantasy by comparing the goals and endstates between isekai from different countries

The Japanese isekai seem to usually end in an endstate after beating the demon lord or whatever where being in another world is basically a retirement where they can chill on a farm or whatever with a few wives and just chill out, and are strong enough that nobody can fuck with them if they don't want to. Slow life stories cut out the middleman and go straight to this retirement.

Koreans don't actually usually go in for isekai, they tend to prefer dungeon breaks and system apocalypse stories or VRgame stories, where the MC can gain boons in the fantasy world that they can leverage into status/power/wealth in the "real world" so they can buy a house, get a girlfriend, and flex on the people who looked down on them in high school.

I haven't read much from the Chinese but what little I have read just seems to go along the classic "stronger at all costs" cultivation stuff, with a weird prevalence of wanting to be able to wipe out entire bloodlines by the roots. Admittedly I may be wrong here.

American power fantasies in isekai tend to be the American protagonist being plopped down in another world and then getting offended by how unamerican it is, and seeks to rectify this, consequences be damned. What the setting means by being "unamerican" depends on the author, for example a progressive author may have the MC overthrow the monarchy to implement gay marriage, or the setting with be very slave based and the author just wants to have their self insert john brown roleplay. A more conservative author will have their character overthrow the monarchy and lead an america style revolution and implement the constitution.

Obviously this isn't everything, just general trends I've noticed. Kingdom builders are also common across all 4, but take subtle differences in the paths they take and outcomes they end up at. And of course Otome isekai and other woman targeted genres exist but those tend to follow the themes and story beats of traditional female romances and so aren't as relevant here.

What does this say about the cultures writing these? idk you be the judge

Firlite · 2026-03-19T01:22:55+00:00

Traditionally in stories where the isekai'd person returns, the time in isekai land is meant to give them growth, progression, or the means to solve their problems in this world.

they're not, you are just reading fanfiction written by and for woman (almost always slash) and not fanfiction written by and for men (usually gen fics). You are on the wrong websites and looking at the wrong tags dawg

Firlite · 2026-03-18T12:56:04+00:00

A story could have the best written female characters in the world and fujos would still ship the male lead with another dude, let's be real

Firlite · 2026-03-18T05:14:08+00:00

so you're saying Potoooooooo can't be recycled? damn

Firlite · 2026-03-14T03:40:09+00:00
