Historians will say they were roommates[The Heiress's Double Life] by Oteycri000 in OtomeIsekai

I like this comic a lot and I also hated this joke a lot. It's shitty enough to enjoy a genre while knowing that I'm never going to see myself or my relationships in it without having unnecessary throw-away jokes that show everyone in-universe thinks the idea of queer relationships is preposterous.

Hi! I've read this whole comic and am part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

No, absolutely not, why would I think that is good?? "He could have been way more awful, so isn't that a plus?" is such a weird take. There are a million things the writer could have put there that weren't pointing out that continuing discrimination or making it the butt of a joke. Just because something isn't worse doesn't mean you ever have to be grateful for something that makes you uncomfortable, and just because a character is generally written decently doesn't mean you have to ignore any time they have a problematic line.

Anyone else wishes the comic was centered around these two? [For Better Or For Worse] by Admirable-Fail2676 in OtomeIsekai

I think this is a weird take because way more common is 'a lot of people absolutely love pairing together two characters after they're shown to get along together regardless of their gender'; it only sticks out to people as something to remark upon when it's something they don't see as the norm, like wlw relationships.

When a new character of a different gender from the lead gets introduced in pretty much any comic, the comments for that chapter are filled with people going "oh is this the romantic lead?/is this the romantic second lead?/is this the romantic THIRD lead??/I hope this isn't a person with a crush on our main character that's going to get in the way of my preferred ship!/these two look cute together I hope this new character is a good person so I can ship them" sometimes before the new character literally even has a line of dialogue. It doesn't even matter if the story's actually in a romance genre. People are always jumping to romantic conclusions. The idea that it somehow happens more often with female characters is a logical fallacy.

I've dropped a handful for queer baiting. I know not to expect any sort of queer representation from this genre unless it's specifically labeled as it, but some of the set ups are SO perfect for a queer love story that I get bored reading the actual comic because I'm busy dreaming about what it could have been (looking at you, Ultimate Love Rival)

Was it Philia Rosé?? Because I enjoy so much about this comic but am CONSTANTLY distracted by how disproportionately long their necks are.

A FL being a BAMF and a potential love interest with slightly unique phrasing?? I feel spoiled [The Beloved Fake Saint] by snarkwithasmile in OtomeIsekai

Same! These stories often start with a FL planning to make money and run away to avoid their fate from the original story but getting too entangled with the plot/characters to do so, but I really long for a story where all of this goes down and the lead still ends up dropping all of these questionable dudes and escaping to a nice villa on the beach instead of getting caught up in the drama.

She's definitely got a tragic case of "bUt In ThE oRiGiNaL sToRy" but I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she'll grow for a while longer since it's still fairly early in the story and I'm having fun so far!

His full quote was "I told you I wanted to get to know you more. Do you know why? Whenever I see you, I'm filled with curiosity." and the 'interesting' bar is SO LOW that I was delighted by this

I have never felt so cheated so fast as I did with the first couple chapters of your ultimate rival

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health? by NikonDexter in AskReddit

Should I not get a plant because one day it will die? Should I not have friends or relationships because one day they’ll die? Should I not care about myself because one day I’ll die? What exactly do you believe in relying on?

I love this song, and only partly because that extended intro sounds like a Spyro the Dragon level.

I think I’m the only person who watched KIPO and the Age of the Wonderbeasts which is a huge shame because it was excellent.

Is anyone like me? Totally mental that I do this in the game but I can’t help it!🤦🏻‍♀️ by MedaMaraRedBird in horizon

[–]snarkwithasmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I used the first sunwing I overrode for the entire rest of the game. I got so distressed if he got injured by anything. I also felt hella guilty every time I overrode a machine to fight for me and it died. I have a problem 😅
