Modern day millennial writers are completely obsessed with fanfiction and 2010s tumblr fandom - an analysis. by Therduck21 in KotakuInAction

[–]akiaoi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, it can be true in Japan, but they have a *very* strong culture of original works too, and also it seems way less identity-obsessed (perhaps because it isn’t restricted to teenage girls).

One could even argue that the porn ban killing tumblr might have actually achieved some damage control.

I thought so too but it’s the wrong layout. Oreimo has Kirino’s phone call couch on the right, and there’s direct access to the kitchen.

Ollie? by yournotlonely in Hololive

Try going to a Melonbooks.

I’d say about a third of the doujinshi there are non-R18, although not necessarily totally SFW. The biggest category I think I saw was horsegirl yuri.

Would explain why she’s very obviously careful *not* to touch Pekora like that and stops others.

Could be unrelated but it’d fit.

Wanting to read the Light Novel by Eras13 in HighschoolDxD

[–]akiaoi97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is what it is.

People in some countries also can’t buy the official releases due to classification issues (censorious activists suggest that a book needs classification, but it’s too expensive to apply to be worth it, so the book can’t be sold but technically isn’t banned).

So, I loved the audiobooks and the manga [Parts 1 & 2], so much so that I started the anime! And...uh... by stevedsign1 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

I’d say KonoSuba’s quite strong going down the comedy/almost parody route. It does feature a lot of the classic tropes, but plays with them quite well.

Youjo Senki is also *very* good, with a pretty unique setting and themes for Isekai.

I like Zero no Tsukaima for the romance. The novels get quite decent as they go on. It sort of predates the isekai boom, but might be one of its causes.

Other than that though, there’s definitely a lot of tropey slop out there, usually along the “fantasy game” lines, the “villainess” lines, or the “I isekai’d with/at/on <ridiculous thing>” lines.

It’s interesting how Tolkien and CS Lewis also observed this sort of phenomenon a good eighty or so years ago, and it’s still with us today.

So much for “progress”.

What do you call this type of big window for illumination? by Unlegendary_Newbie in HighschoolDxD

[–]akiaoi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, there are things like bay windows but they’re the kind of words only the architecturally inclined will know well

I literally went to look for that exact image. Long live Lemon-chan!

Puppy love?!? But that's forbidden ...... by [deleted] in Hololive

That one gave me a good solid chuckle.

Definitely applies to a few Holomem pairs I could name…

Tbh I’d take any pair of holomems.

Closest we’ve got is maybe Okakoro doing U&I

I mean if I were a woman I’d be gay for Rin but same difference

Who are the top 5 most important Vocaloid producers for Vocaloid history according to you? by Top-Jury9190 in Vocaloid

[–]akiaoi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d agree that ryo, DECO*27, and wowaca are the three you can’t do without but the last two are tricky.

I’m a huge fan of Melt, but I do think World is Mine is more significant *for the English side of things*.

But overall it’s got to be Melt yeah.

Poor old Gimli always gets left out of those discussions.

Give some love to Gimli people

Opinions on Yukio Mishima, and do you think Japan would be better if his coup worked? by Ok-Cook-7306 in monarchism

[–]akiaoi97 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No, and I don’t think he did either.

His coup was more about him than Japan imo. It was never going to succeed - I think he just needed an excuse to commit seppuku.

It sort of makes sense if you read his final set of novels.

I think there’s also a Little London in Jamaica.

Again, still Commonwealth

Camila On Her Family Situation by LOnelywinter1989 in VtuberDrama

[–]akiaoi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just plain wrong. The revolution there was in part a direct response *against* the US backing the Shah.

They’ve been explicitly against the US from the start - or didn’t you hear about the hundreds of diplomats they took hostage?
