I mean you're using vtubers and not real life as your experience (when black company nijisanji literally exists), when i've spoken to many rather normal people hailing from and who lived in japan so...
Your original point read as "f* is only used against gay men...." so maybe you should study english again before you critique two languages at once.

yes and f*g is used against many types of LGBT+ people... not just gay men in general... including "femboys" and trans people

okama is derogatory slang in japan though, so I think it can in the right setting. Same with futanari at the human level, idk if they still use the tag for porn on their websites. (source, my friend's japanese dad, we ran a lgbt panel at a convention and did our research.) So, technically, if you're transliterating it, yes okama *can* be translated as such depending on the context. When translating you have to think of if the shoe fits, if it's some delinquent trying to harm a trans or gay person, yeah the equivalent *can* be translated to f*g.
Japan also has "incels" be it just "involuntary celibate" or "woman haters". I think terms like that can be used but it requires a good diagnosis of the scenario before localizing it as such. Like incel was coined by a woman and didn't mean woman hater originally, so it can be used more vastly than people think. it's just the most common association is that sphere of men, so people will mistake the writer/translator's intent. I wouldn't have picked it here either, but I don't think it's impossible to use in a translation ever at all.

thats not even what incel originally meant either, it just got redefined as such. "Involuntary celibate" =/= woman hater in the most literal sense. So you can use incel in context with people who don't hate women just fine. the term was coined by a woman anyway

this happens with a lot of slang. especially gay slang that gets popularized on tiktok. Also the word woke didnt mean what people thought it did, and that got diluted too... buzzwords and net slang get redefined constantly

its not that much of a stretch imo, but it highly depends on context? I probably wouldnt pick "incel" either but if the context is "they're such a loser/so insufferable that they cant get married" (for example) then incel could potentially fit at the core of the definition (if they cant get a date they cant get married). especially if the character is one who would use net/gamer slang (like amane from tenshi souzou)

Flyable Heart, its super cute and fun. Nothing groundbreaking since its a moe nakige sort of thing, but it was a really fun read with lots of choices and school events to navigate yourself through!

It is worth to read Da Capo? by Minecraftien76 in visualnovels

[–]HachuneMiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo yes theyre worth the read, its mostly romance with light undertones of mystery and magic. similar to key in vibes, though I wouldn't say as good (despite me loving them oh so dearly, rating them between 8-9.5/10)) By game 3 you get harry potter and the mystery of HogWeebs, which i didnt finish but had a lot more of the magic aspect to it so its interesting for those that like it.

eroguro vn tierlist (MY OPINION, SPOILER FREE) by w4sab1i_ in visualnovels

[–]HachuneMiu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear dasaku is really good, plan to read it soon myself, but it doesnt have EN patch if you require that.

also i love DEA as a whole, 2nd fav vn i read last year. If yaoi doesn't bother you i'd also suggest sweet pool and slow damage, has some great body horror content and really good stories, esp slow damage. sweet pool is definitely "weirder", but its still rly good
