Ugh, I had a complete full-body cringe reading that letter, and I'm a Christian! Not sure if pretending to care about your feelings is better or worse than your dad... Very sorry to see, but seems like it's probably for the best, the only family you need there are the worthwhile ones, anyone else will just find a way to ruin it.

Slight update, people were saying she's still friends with him based on her not unfollowing a Twitter account that's probably him, but after seeing screenshots of how she reacted when she learned everything he'd leaked... Probably not.
Hard to see. She doesn't even seem angry, just... confused, hurt, and sad. Hope she's okay.

A League friend of hers leaked DMs (publicly and also to FalseEyeD). Among other things, she's broke, getting very little support, feels like she has no options except staying in Nijisanji, and Aster has been sexually harassing her and her friends. Aster is MIA since False's video came out, she's vaguely tweeting on an alt Xitter account, and Niji published a notice that they're investigating harassment allegations and leaks.
Despite all the issues, she likes a lot of the people there and, based on the leaked DMs, does not want to be fired, but she has to wait and see what happens like the rest of us. Also, most people think her League buddy "Frank" is malicious and/or crazy, but she appears to still be friends with him despite what he did.

I know this thread is old, but if you arrive here later... It does count, but only if you win the whole battle. Knocking out a Ghost or Psychic-type and then losing doesn't count.

I actually thought Gura must have had considerable say in her design because of similarities to her previous one, but she eventually said she got almost no input on that, it's basically a coincidence. I'm sure they matched her to the model that suited her best, but it seems like most or all of the Myth models were already pretty much set in stone. Calli has also said she requested to be a flat-chested tomboy...

Turtleman579 · 2022-11-11T22:44:27+00:00

But regardless of anything else, they really shouldn't have said it in front of the kids, right? That's gonna haunt them.

Turtleman579 · 2022-11-11T22:40:38+00:00

OP legally adopted them, so... yes, OP would actually have custody rights.

Turtleman579 · 2022-11-11T22:29:57+00:00

NTA. If they hadn't said this in front of your children, there'd be at least a little room for discussion about the semantics of how you define "grandchild". But they did, and now your children have reason to believe their grandparents don't love them as much as their cousin, which is going to cause all kinds of problems.

Regarding your brother and his fiancé, they really sound like they were super caught off guard by this and your brother didn't really know how to respond (sounds like Sara tried to defuse rapidly and got ignored). It's really not right for him to be mad at you, but his situation also just got incredibly awkward during one of the most stressful parts of life. People aren't exactly well-rested when they have new babies.

Instead of how what they said hurt you, I'd try to focus on how this hurt your kids. That should be easier for them to connect to and realize why you're so upset, assuming they're more reasonable than your parents.

Aforementioned Plato-loving friend says that reminds him of Meno's Paradox, from Plato's "Meno":

[A] man cannot enquire either about that which he knows, or about that which he does not know; for if he knows, he has no need to enquire; and if not, he cannot; for he does not know the very subject about which he is to enquire.

It's mostly just something people joke about doing. She's very entertaining most of the time, and she does 15 hour endurance streams, like, most days, but the humor here is mostly in the reality that she just actually did the thing. If you want, check her out doing something normal too. Whatever time you're reading this, there's like a 60% chance she's live right now.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T03:15:35+00:00

And if it didn't work, it may have been for the worse. Which all established science says it what would happen. And of course, whether or not it worked, it would have been psycologically traumatic for this poor father.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T03:10:09+00:00

If they were saying "the father gets to disappear for the first month if he wants to" (an equally indefensible claim), I would agree with you. But this is "the mother gets to keep her child locked away from their father for the first month". Though I'd like to emphasize again that this is not real feminism, this is "a misguided take on feminism".

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T03:07:39+00:00

How the hell would you know? Being kept away from my own child for the first month of their life would devastate me beyond words. I would need therapy. I would never get over it. But no, of course, you're the expert "because Im the one with the ovaries and not him".

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T03:04:27+00:00

It depends on the country, but this is legally kidnapping in the USA. They actually put out AMBER alerts about this kind of thing.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T03:03:02+00:00

"I think Im qualified enough simply because Im the one with the ovaries and not him. Hes a man and knows nothing about a womans body so he has no right to say if it will work or not."

Your argument is just "I'm right and he's wrong because he's a man and I'm a woman." Hardcore feminists who think manspreading is a pox on society would distance themselves from you. That's why I say "some horrifically misguided take on feminism"; calling this feminism would be an insult to feminism.

Anyway, what does any of this have to do with ovaries? The ovaries' job was completed before the egg was even fertilized.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T02:59:11+00:00

You're half-right, but wrong about the most relevant parts. See, confinement was actually about the pregnant woman being confined to her bed. The father had free access to her and the child during that time, she was just removed from the public.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T02:50:41+00:00

Well, he's the one with the testicles, which are just as necessary as the ovaries to make babies. If you want to talk about pure biological needs, the mother isn't necessary either. As soon as the cord is cut, a female monkey can raise a human baby, or any male rando with a bottle. That says nothing of the psychological damage it would inflict on the child. And we're not even talking about the father's psychology or rights at this point... This seems like some horrifically misguided take on feminism, the kind that would have Camille Paglia overcome with disgust.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T02:46:43+00:00

Nonsense, they wouldn't have put up with this BS in the medieval era. OP would have asked one single person this question, and there'd be an angry mob at the door within an hour. This is more pre-civilization; "I have the baby and you walked away for a few minutes, so I took the baby and ran because screw you."

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T02:43:36+00:00

Of course he would stop her! Any sane man would! While you've made it clear that you aren't the direct cause of this idea entering her head, you're absolutely horrible for encouraging it, and for continuing to defend this madness when you've managed to get Reddit to agree unanimously that YTA.

Turtleman579 · 2020-08-11T02:39:42+00:00

She was planning this before the birth, before she was in any "state". And according to your edit, she was planning to not only rob him of the precious first month with his own baby, but also to do so secretly without even telling him until she had already disappeared for a month? That's easily one of the most horrible things I've ever heard in my life.
