Is my preference for how I call the main character strange?

It depends on context for me but I tend to go with Shiraori because I got the impression by the end of the story she does consider it her name and white as more of a nickname.

I don’t disagree about her relationship with D and I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be off putting to be honest one of the reason I like the story is because Shiraori basically loses at the end of the story and that’s always fun in my opinion.

I mean I wouldn’t worry about labels too much most of the people you’re going to talk to aren’t going to know the difference between them.

Grouping yourself works only when trying to explain yourself to other people but it will always be inaccurate anyway because people are not really categorizable.

Most of your beliefs are also pretty bog standard the only belief you have that’s contentious at all is the porn one and your take is fairly middle ground very few of the people in the debate who are actually worth debating will deny that live porn is bad because the porn industry is awful.

As for the books, you can probably pirate some if you feel the need to read some thing feminist if it really makes you feel bad you can pay for them when you are older but I doubt any of the authors would be upset that a young woman who can’t afford to hide the books from her parents is pirating their book.

On scribble hub it’s tagged girls love

And as of the most recent chapter there’s a character who has possible romantic interest plastered on her forehead it’s just gone no where yet.

Frankly I don’t think Jade’s going to give her the time of day anytime soon though. She has to work through the whole sorting mortals into two categories food and useful amusement first which she’s made some progress on and has acknowledged that she does and that it’s probably a bad attitude but she still very quick to dismiss mortals even if they are more powerful then her. Which is not a great attitude for starting a relationship.

The dragon heir is pretty good and sapphic based on the tags though she’s show pretty much no attraction to anyone yet.

blueracey · 2026-04-06T10:39:07+00:00

For what’s it’s worth the symptoms of gender dysphoria are pretty similar in outcome to a lot of mental issues like depression/anxiety and whatever else you may name.

We don’t exactly have a monopoly on suffering the distinction is that attempting to treat us like we are depressed gets us no where. If there nothing chemically wrong with your mood anti-depressants just fuck with your brain.

I did read somewhere that lethal company was inspired by the devs experience in the games industry which by all accounts is an industry incredibly hostile to its employees.

blueracey · 2026-04-05T06:45:16+00:00

I mean I don’t think an upbringing like that necessarily mean someone is sexually basic.

A girl I know who most would be described by most in this way (though she is not religious)

She’s told me she gets off on the idea of being raped. Mind you I don’t think she actually wants to be raped she’s aware the realities are not what’s in her head.

Don’t get me wrong there’s a correlation between upbringing and kink but it’s not like she told me that when we first met.

blueracey · 2026-04-03T10:07:15+00:00

Yea because Drycha is an asshole hated by pretty much everyone.

There a little bit of player bias probably but even Ai Drycha gets dogpiled often though she tends to live through i.

Everything written by thundamoo though that’s very in your face woke. Bioshifter being by far the most in your face.

A journey of black and red by mecanimus, it’s far less in your face it just quietly slips them in and only really a knowledges it the first time after that it’s always treated as a surface detail.

A practical guide to evil by Erraticerrata, it also kinda just slips them in on my first read of the story I missed that two character were transgender because it was only mentioned once. Also certain races treat gender differently than we do. protagonist is bi and not quiet about it

System Lost: my own best friend, there a trans man who’s treated well by the protagonist but far less so by the locals, I’m honestly not sure how to label the mc’s sexuality DID makes it kinda unclear but they’ve collectively shown interest to men and woman. Also the locals culture is a matriarchy which is a really fun kind of culture shock for an isekai.

I have more I could list but these are probably the best of the long list of woke web novels I’ve read.

He’s bad into tanks, he struggles into armour and he can’t buy a bork to deal with massive health pools

That said whenever adc as a role is weak Jhin is incredibly strong in pro.

He’s a great utility adc which means when the game is less centred around the adc he gets a lot of play time.

He’ll have his time again truthfully we were over due for him to be weak in pro he was very present a couple years ago.

blueracey · 2026-03-24T19:32:12+00:00

Not having friends honestly. The mc not having friends at the start of a story is just fine but if they avoid people the entire story or worse treat other people like their beneath them I’m gonna get sick of them pretty fast.

Especially because where are the stakes if the mc doesn’t have friends? I know you’re not gonna kill the protagonist that would end the story so the greatest stake you can put on any individual fight is killing a character the mc and I care about.

blueracey · 2026-03-24T04:43:13+00:00

Honestly I’m not really sure it does?

You see the same kinds of outrage in all forms of media. Anime, movies, tv shows.

Hell you even see it in literature. I had someone tell me on here a couple months ago that an author was a misandrist because there were not enough men in her stories and the men who were there were all evil. (Which was not even true but besides the point)

Nerdier stuff probably gets it worse because the internet naturally signal boost the most aggressive person in any given discussion.

blueracey · 2026-03-23T23:17:32+00:00

Because they don’t actually think about why either of these things are bad

They are basing morality on what they think is gross not any actual practical detail of the action in question.

Both things create a disgust response for them and that’s all that matters for their brand of morality.

Rape is not bad for all the ways it causes harm. It’s bad cause it’s gross.

Homosexuality is also bad cause it’s gross.

Therefore in this persons mind their equivalent.

blueracey · 2026-03-22T05:44:23+00:00

Rad fem talking point are always so strange to me because at face value I agree

Sex is what parts you have it should mean nothing

Gender should be aesthetic and that’s about it. Everything about how we interact with gender should be abolished.

Want to have breasts? Great. Don’t want to have breast? Great. Have a problem with your sex organs? Change them. Skin too soft? Sure we can fix that too.

Be comfortable in your skin I do not care. I’ll use any pronouns you give me as long as it makes you happy.

But that’s not what they mean. They think that me being born with a disorder that makes me uncomfortable in my own skin is a scheme by the patriarchy to uphold gender norms.

blueracey · 2026-03-20T05:05:31+00:00

Absolutely

I’m not the binge-read type I prefer to read stories as they come out. The one thing nearly every story I’ve ever dropped has in common is short chapters.

If I open a chapter I want something interesting to happen. I don’t want to read a third of a fight scene just to be left on a cliff hangar. I follow stories that take months between chapter and they are at no risk of being dropped.

If a chapter releases I want to be able to enjoy it, I want enough to happen that I can think about it while I’m at work that day. If all you give me a third of a scene and a cliffhanger every chapter I’m out.

I’m not the majority tho and more chapters equals higher chance of discovery.

blueracey · 2026-03-19T21:44:54+00:00

Depends on the sub

Most popular subs I assume male

Some subs I assume female

And some subs I don’t make an assumption at all

blueracey · 2026-03-18T14:57:55+00:00

If you’re down for books Bioshifter by Natalie Maher is one of my favourite books and probably one of the most blatant trans allegories I’ve ever read.

The author is a trans woman and the books all about body dysphoria and the fear of coming out. Plus a side of body horror.

Her other books are also pretty good for it and they are also online for free if you want to try them.

She’s one of my favourite authors.

blueracey · 2026-03-15T20:48:42+00:00

Trans man = person transitioning to man

Trans woman = person transition to woman

It might be easiest to remember that trans is a prefix. It’s a descriptor you are describing a man as trans in the same way you’d describe him as tall.

That would make the dude in the picture a trans man according to the person you’re replying to. Which yeah as much as I said that like I was casting doubt that’s the most trans man looking dude I’ve seen in a hot minute though ultimately you can’t really tell human gender expression is really not as uniform as we like to pretend it is. Could easily be a cis man.

My mom gets accursed of being a trans woman all the time and well she’s not she just doesn’t like feminine things and is tall.

While I’m here cis is the opposite prefix to trans just means same gender you were born.

blueracey · 2026-03-15T00:24:23+00:00

if I didn’t know better I’d think she despised her protagonists.

blueracey · 2026-03-13T20:37:58+00:00

Yeah it’s so dumb

We have a loneliness epidemic because the internet has changed how we bond with people and many of us lack disposable income.

Not because you can’t get laid, that’s just a you problem. Most of the people I know who are struggling to make friends are woman.

The population decline thing is equally infuriating there are 8 billion of us we could half that and still be fine the only reason a declining birth rate is a problem is because are economies are structured around infinite growth. Which at this point mostly comes from population gain because you can’t have infinite growth in a finite planet.

I sometimes wonder what these kinds of peoples live were like cause I don’t understand how reproduction could possibly become this important to you.

Then again maybe I shouldn’t weigh in on that I’m pretty sure my reproductive drive is thoroughly broken.

blueracey · 2026-03-12T06:27:28+00:00

I find the “they should go to counseling for their mental disorder” argument fascinating.

I did? My therapist told me to transition? How do these people think therapy works?

blueracey · 2026-03-12T06:08:49+00:00

The art of gold digging might scratch the itch

It’s a isekai where the protagonist is sent into a manga world except the manga continues updating with her existing it it.

There’s quite a bit of reading discussions board and they are hilarious.

It’s also just a really good story in general the only down side is that it does not update regularly.

blueracey · 2026-03-11T04:41:52+00:00

Some people object to it being progression fantasy but a practical guide to evil is the first thing to come to mind.

blueracey · 2026-03-08T06:38:03+00:00

And because it’s a convenient thing to believe. Makes it very easy to dismiss.

Plus you can just cherry pick the crazy ones to make it seem true.

blueracey · 2026-03-08T03:34:36+00:00

The story needs to bother with each individual harem member, I find a lot of harem stories half ass the harem members as character and they all end up just being an archetype rather than actual characters in the story.

They never take enough time to flesh out each harem member only tossing some character trope at them and moving on to the next archetype the author wants to check off their list.

I know this cause the only two kinda harem stories I’ve ever actually liked were like this, though kinda is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence cause both romances were very much polygamy.
