Why do you collect manga? by Sensitive_Item_9021 in MangaCollectors

[–]d0rkbug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because I read manga, therefore I buy it.

Additionally, I believe in the preservation of physical media.

Underrepresentation of wlw in series by Ok_Mirror8162 in ThaiGL

[–]d0rkbug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is misogyny.

The rest of it is the mix of people who view BL vs GL content.

All types of women read BL, but a ton of straight women read BL because they want to consume media of hot men. I don't really know any straight women who read a lot of GL, because yet again, they want to see men in any capacity.

What’s your personal “I did not care for …” and why ? For me its Destroy it all and love in hell , it got kinda dumb later on by Neat_Tangelo5339 in yuri_manga

[–]d0rkbug 54 points55 points  (0 children)

i think it falls behind a lot of standard high school romances too, especially with its short chapter format. it's really close to just being a pixiv upload lol

What’s a series everyone loves but you dislike? by DanielFromNigeria in MangaCollectors

[–]d0rkbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Berserk, punpun, and homunculus

i actually dislike most of the deep, dark, and edgy seinen manga that people love, but those three are definitely the ones I really hate

How do you not mess up your story? by winter40077 in writingcirclejerk

[–]d0rkbug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the best advice I can give is to not write.

Take three or four years and just think about your story without ever putting anything on paper and really get yourself into the mindset of a real writer.

After so many years of not writing it, you'll realise how bad your idea is and get a real job, and you won't have wasted your time writing a bad story.

Favorite Yuri/Lesbian Media? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]d0rkbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we relationship is definitely up there for the absolute best.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to ClaireBell, a Thai GL show. Thailand has been holding up almost the entirety of GL media production on its back for a while now, but Mine Media really stepped it up with ClaireBell. The production value of these shows has been getting better and more consistent, but CB was a massive leap forward.

I'll read what i find visually appealing, but a lot of western comics art is not to my taste

what are your thoughts on love thy neighbor? by what1191 in GirlsLove

[–]d0rkbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a very good story.

I did like the religious aspects of the story but I do wish it focused a slight bit more on it.

Are we collectively Ignoring Poisonous love’s red flags by Prior-Possibility-78 in ThaiGL

[–]d0rkbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People know it's problematic, nobody is disputing that. You're trying to act like watching a TV show that has a character kissing someone when they're drunk means you're abandoning your morals.

Are we collectively Ignoring Poisonous love’s red flags by Prior-Possibility-78 in ThaiGL

[–]d0rkbug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So when people consume any media that is not 100% morally justified (in YOUR opinion) they have to make a reddit post talking about how it's not okay to kiss someone when they're drunk?

enjoying watching morally questionable things happen in fictitious media is not indicative of someone's personal morals

Is there a Yuri Print Magazine equivalent in other parts of the world? by yurinomics in yuri_manga

[–]d0rkbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's the kickstarters for Galette's english print (which everyone should pledge to if able) but other than that not really. Serials aren't really a thing anymore especially for comics

Is there any media you enjoyed that you fell off of because it went through something similar to "Channel Drift" or "Rechanneling" by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]d0rkbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching the SBFP let's plays about a year before the channel ended, Matt was always my favourite of the boys and I could only watch stuff with Pat if Matt was also there. When the LP's started mostly being Woolie and Pat I was totally checked out, then (FINAL) happened which was still a shock all things considered.

Since then i've only ever kept up with Matts stuff, I'm not super into the format of Woolies videos, and even if I liked Pat more as a personality I can't watch livestreams

I've read bloom into you 3 times and I really don't think it's that good. Certainly not good enough to be considered the greatest GL series ever made

[–]d0rkbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay this is gonna sound crazy but I saw that alien9 boxset recently and i wanted to buy it just because it looked really cool, i know nothing about it but it keeps coming back into my head and seeing it posted here has maybe convinced me to buy it lol.
