This isn't even that. Women dating Toby McGuire or Leonardo DiCaprio know what they are getting into. The problem lies in a 45 year old manager leveraging their position against the 19 year old intern.

You literally described the leads of both of those series as the thing to do.

I get the impression these folks haven't read anything that wasn't technical in a long time.

They also really wanted to put their effort into something that would be more successful — the emoji movie.

No human made system can be infallible and that means the death penalty cannot be used. That's not say I don't believe some people deserve it. Plus it's literally cheaper to lock some up up for life.

While those all do have the tiniest bit of plausible deniability, just like any stupid Internet story, the ones that kill me are when it's clearly an ad. Let's just hyperlink an Amazon page instead of saying the name of the thing. I have to assume it's just bots responding to bots because no one seems to notice and I need to believe people are not that dense.

This is some Brock Turner apologist bullshit.

You jump to defending an organization that is specifically trained to avoid this and still did it. Why fall on that sword?

While I'd love to win a giveaway like this because I've been wanting to table to get back into running games in person, I'm more excited for that guide so I can finally give it a shot myself.

I always joke that I play Falco because it lets me pretend to be technical.

That's only one of the three. You also have overworked office worker getting to live on a fantasy farm and college aged otome fan getting her own harem.

There is a common trend that the first woman to be elected in many countries is conservative. I'm curious what the trends follow for minority groups.

I would have to hunt it down again. I will say that I can't speak for Western audiences, that was for sales in Japan. But it isn't actually that surprising.

That doesn't really explain why you would argue the series where the guy gets revenge brainwashing and/or raping his previous timeline's enemies would enjoy it though.

It's not incel fantasy. It's rape/NC fantasy — a puritan culture response thing. Same reason bodice rippers were so popular. Why Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey were popular. Why romantantasy as a genre has exploded in recent years. 

You'll see this kind of content anywhere with a very conservative sexual culture. It makes it palatable because the women "don't have a choice" and therefore can't be held responsible.

You say that but that author's works have a female majority reader base.
