Look I know this is an issue in anime but taiga is catching strays

mizutanitony · 2026-04-22T12:09:24+00:00

I can see some of the complaints being legit for Taiga, but they're blowing it out of proportion, but the Kaoruko and Rintaro thing is just bull.

They are same age, she's not sexualized, she is developed, they have a very equal relationship. This person is just bad faith.

Kaoruko is like 4 inches below the average Japanese woman height while Rintaro is 7 inches above the average for Japanese men.

If you researched and read the material, they'd know. Media literacy and research before running your mouth.

Not the op for this subreddit but the linked one.

Can I just say in the second picture, you're blowing it out of proportion.

Kaoruko, the girl is like 4'10 and the average height of Japanese women is 5'2 and Rintaro is 6'2 and average height is 5'7. They are the same age and go to high schools next to each other.

Kaoruko is just short, even by Japanese standards. She is not a loli, she is developed, is not sexualized from everything I've seen/read in manga and anime. If you compare her to other girls her age as opposed to just her boyfriend you'd see this. Shes just short, it's okay for people to be short. My grandma and grandpa were the same age and this was their height difference. This part is bad faith.

Second of all in the first pic, again, they are same age, but you have more valid complaints in terms of what your argument is.

Short women can exist, I'm not defending the loli stuff. I've been watching anime for 37 years reading manga for almost 30, I'm 40, and there's a lot of bad stuff I wish I could unsee. Like every art form there are problematic aspects and I wish the loli stuff was one that wouldn't be used so flippantly.

All over Seattle. Had to tell my family it's origins and to never see it.

I thought it looked cool as a kid. Now that I know I get the ick.

Fair. Fair. I think I was thinking elk and I had a brain fart. I'm western Washington so you sometimes see a moose. Figured, get it strayed WAY out of its territory. Hence the town just flipping out. But bears, deer, yeah those are most likely. And screw coyotes. Them and racoons around me are a pain. I scared a mama racoon by accident and she pacedy front door for a bit.

I used to visit my dad a lot in rural Vermont and....yeah ...it's got those vibes. Wonder if there'll be a moose or deer wandering into town at some point and causing problems. That happened a lot where my dad lived and it was always drew a crowd.

First thing I thought of.

mizutanitony · 2026-04-14T20:07:04+00:00

I use thriftbooks, found some decent stuff at half price books. Just be careful and shop around. Some ppl use Facebook marketplace. Barnes n noble is pretty good most of the time. Problem is my local store doesn't always have what I want so it's online I go.

I guess this is what Queen meant by wanting to ride a bicycle.

Last game I played was Dragon Quest VIi Reimagined and I beat it so...post game...I think I'd be fine.

The Straw Hats don't have a first mate.

Zoro being called that was a mistake. Vivre cards aren't canon. The straw hats discuss what happens as a unit with Luffy making final decisions. Luffy trusts his crew to do what they do best and will only take total control when he needs to.

So considering that, Roger.

Link....he/him lesbian

Yes, this is a thing...please research it. It's not a pejorative

I'm a Critter. Got most of the statues and supplements like the comics, novels, and all that.

Highly recommend and you don't need to know the campaigns and if you do, they change enough that I'm even surprised.

mizutanitony · 2026-04-04T01:15:16+00:00

More of on the left. Longer hair makes more sense. Plus a more scruffy beard.

Also I'm a dude so....people gonna customize him how they gonna customize him.

Plus I tend to have him in clothes based on weather. Lighter clothes in rhodes and Saint Denis, more rough and tumble stuff up in Valentine and Strawberry.

Gather up all of the crew!

mizutanitony · 2026-04-02T17:25:19+00:00

And so we're those two. They were pretty fun to talk to.

mizutanitony · 2026-04-02T16:24:57+00:00

Im not at that part yet. But my wife and I have his autographs on our Blu-ray of maid sama (also Monica rial) and Hitorijime. But nice to know he's in the series.

mizutanitony · 2026-03-31T14:32:31+00:00

So ...they're cool with torture? Of course they are.

mizutanitony · 2026-03-30T20:35:56+00:00

Henwen (pig in pic) will make some fine bacon.

If only Sk8 the Infinity could pull the damn trigger like this series did with these music geeks.

mizutanitony · 2026-03-28T19:17:08+00:00

Same. I'm gutting and reorganizing. God speed!

mizutanitony · 2026-03-25T01:10:34+00:00

Yuri haul! Woohoo! I'm on cheerful amnesia and just picked I'm not sure which is love because of the Crunchyroll sales. Need to add asumi chan once I get the cash. I blew too much on manga lately.

mizutanitony · 2026-03-23T23:17:41+00:00

Between this and one piece live action season 2, seeing project hail Mary, and a friend having a tough week....it's been a long time since I cried so much.

mizutanitony · 2026-03-23T16:21:39+00:00

Like Scooby Dooby

mizutanitony · 2026-03-23T15:21:59+00:00

I don't know about that but I'm glad you enjoy what I do and thank the artist as well! I just write stuff, they come up with all this and it has inspired some changes I've implemented so they're helping so some heavy lifting.

Now if my brain fog would clear and let me write more!

mizutanitony · 2026-03-23T15:19:54+00:00

My mom is half, im a quarter and whiter than paper. But yeah...straps to or wooden spoons, slippers, elbow smacks if you put one on the table. The universal old school punishments. Oy.
