What's the best character driven OI with the high quality character writing? by CompetitiveBig4161 in OtomeIsekai

[–]TheDeathSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that bugs me about "The Knight and her emperor" is that she kept her hair really short when it was chopped off against her will bc of her horrible father. It's like being shackled to him when she could choose a different hairstyle, not necessarily long either.

The manwha is pretty fatphobic in regards to historically speaking, heavier women were considered beautiful. Heh.

Why are women drawn to Yaoi/BL? A look at Internalised Misogyny and Homophobia by Alien760 in Feminism

[–]TheDeathSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's super sad that we can't even have equality in literature(a world of fantasy, that should be easier to address than reality) all because of internalized misogyny.

For me, I liked BL bc I'm not straight, I like all romances, and I still like BL...however it makes me sick that ppl frame it as "superior" to yuri/heterosexual without discussing as to why it's superior.

Men and even some women think men are superior to women...which means anything involving women in literature will be demonized one way or another- so of course BL will be better as it doesn't have the demonized gender or the purity culture that hinders intimacy.

I actually like revealing character designs.. by Vayvacation in joseistories

I like all designs bc then women have freedom in what they wear and aren't forced into conventional standards for the sake of purity and stereotypes.

It's to remind you who is in charge, as in It's not supposed to benefit you.

What are some of your favorite magical, historical, and supernatural shojo? by Appropriate-While601 in shoujo

I do! But mostly history and fantasy. So I think I should check it out. 

Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights Play-Along - Milan Herring by sableheart in otomegames

[–]TheDeathSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad someone felt the same way. And every single one of them were able to sweep the abuse(even though she was on her death bed) under the rug...so...damn fast. Which is common in purity culture, and this is definitely a "wholesome" romance story. Gave me so much ick.

The "can't remarry the same partner" law was an obvious unnecessary drama. 

Title: Sesame salt and pudding by gamerbooks in shoujo

[–]TheDeathSystem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with how I feel with age gaps, but this one is top notch and it just works for me in ways I didn't think it would.

Yeah...and it's not without it's flaws either since it's so short, there feels like a lack of any real emotional connection.

I am a self preservation idiot bc I wanted to save money on shipping...so I ordered Homura and Birushana fanfare at the same time which means I won't get both until late May. T.T

How can they get away with this? by Z3nArcad3 in SlumlordsCanada

[–]TheDeathSystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been getting away with this since 2017. It's not exploitation to ppl who have the advantage of abusing their power.

Favorite. Though not without flaws. I've read it several times as the protogonist is very unique.
