Y’all will read pornographic material on this site but act like its a crime to talk about anything other than comics. Its fake outrage. OP didn’t doxx themselves. They just said something vaguely personal reply
This site's most popular content is BL, so what do you expect? The sheer amount of users of the site that read BL is one of the main reasons why the site is still active and has gotten traction from others who have wanted to read other genres in their free time. You know this. If you want to discuss any webcomic, you can go on forums outside of thi...... reply
They literally read straight up incest without any care, concern, or shame in the world. (not stepbro-stepsis trope or Greek/Egyptian god shit, like fr incest). And I genuinely find it disturbing when people have read hundreds/thousands of smut manga/manhwa and have commented bajillion times on this site. Its like they have nothing better to do wit...... 1 reply
I could care less but I don't like when people make it about romance and less about the actual plot. I've seen many fucked up headcanons (many of them being straight), but they're more embarrassing than anger-inducing. I can respect any ship to be honest because its to much energy to care, but when it starts being illegal and/or taboo, my eyebrow b...... reply
Some of y'all are out here having read THOUSANDS of web-comics on this godforsaken site. It's scary yet praiseworthy. There is so much garbage to read, whether its the incest plots, pedophila tropes, extremally fucked up yoai, lesbians in yuri who only get off on fingering each other (and barely do anything else), cursed art styles, a bunch of kids starting a club/band, mafia/yakuza shit, hundreds of recycles isekai/reincarnation stories, historical settings (european/east asian) that all have the same copy-and-paste art styles, female/effeminate male MCs that are fucking idiots, male/masc female love interests that are literally abusive, and the list goes on. So y'all ever get bored??? Like genuinely...
Abs are aesthetically pleasing on a universal level. They tell the story of a person who spent a large amount of time dedicating themselves to the discipline of working out, dieting, and learning about your own body. And that story behind a lean-muscular physique is sexy.
My gripe with abs in comics is that they are drawn onto a character like they are simply a character design. In order to be lean an muscular, SO MUCH time and work is dedicated to wearing the fuck out of your body and restricting what you eat. If you are a child and your metabolism is fast, you can eat like shit, workout, and still have muscle mass while being lean because your genetics are good (which is not the majority of people). But as you get older, your metabolism will slow down, making it harder for you to get abs. If you're 28, you don't have abs by waking up, going to work, drinking alcohol with your buddies, party, and go to sleep. You force yourself to fit working out into your lifestyle several days out of the entire week. It's dedication.
The Broader Picture
I don't think illustrators who want to make their characters walking thirst traps are really doing anything wrong, but they can be promoting some problematic beauty standards to the people that read their work. For example, in all of those poor-girl-rich-CEO stories, the CEO guy is pretty young, rich, handsome, and HAS ABS. Being a CEO are a 20-something year old is already stressful enough, but even if that business has generated enough money for you to have enough free time to workout, there's no point. But if a CEO felt as if his money, face, and height wasn't enough to attract a woman, working out hard enough to get abs still takes a lot of fucking time and effort, and months to YEARS to show results. That's what I want artists to portray.
Most of us as comic readers sit on our asses for hours at a time and see good-looking characters that have "perfect bodies" but we don't see the characters really working out to maintain those physiques, let alone dieting, and struggling. We see these characters and say, "Wow that person is hot. I wish I looked like that, but I don't look like that now" not understanding that a real human would have to dedicate a lot of time to look like that. Plus, the way your abs show up is a genetic gamble because 10 people can have the same bodyfat percentage and muscle-mass, but their abs can look completely different. Not only that, but these physiques are portrayed as dominating and strong. But in truth, bodybuilding can genuinely suck the fucking life out of you. (Fun-fact: many men who body-build lose a lot of energy and can develop temporary erectile dysfunction). And in truth, muscular dad-bods can be way stronger. And lean guys with no muscle can have more energy and a better quality of life.
Just know that no matter your sex, gender expression, age, etc, you can still be strong and attractive in your own way. Whether you're ripped or pudgy, weather you're bodyfat percentage is 7% or 32%. Whether you have 2 jobs or whether you're living in your parents' basement. Look at the fucking Paralympics. Try working out more often if you have time and the ability to do so. Take a brisk jog around your block or do squats in your apartment. Do it for your health, and not just for aesthetics.
Many people say lewding/finding an attraction to minors in fiction is predatory, and I agree to an extent, but not fully. I know it sounds bad but I'll explain why.
Lewding/crushing on Bisky for example is gross. She may be extremely old, but LOOKS prepubescent. Pedophiles are not always attracted to the age of their victims, but they ARE attracted to their prepubescent state. If you crush on a character that looks prepubescent and very child-like (no matter the age), you are predatory. Whether its Killua, Emma, or even Bisky.
With a character that is in their late teens, and looks like they could be a passing adult, I think its more acceptable. Like the characters from "SK8 the Infinity" or "My Hero Academia" because they look mature, developed, and adult-like. So I wouldn't necessarily call you an endophile, unless you specifically like the age of the fictional minor. Ex. if you like Shoto but wouldn't like him anymore past 18-years old (looking the same or not) its predatory.
In shows/dramas, if an adult actor is trying to play a character that is a school student, its not predatory because you like the actor's adult/developed physicality. However, if a minor is playing a minor and you like them, you are a pedo/endo. Same for a minor playing the role of an adult.
Checklist:
Do you "simp for" an anime character that looks prepubescent but is quite old? Do you "simp for" an anime minor just because of your attraction to their age? Do you "simp for" an anime minor that looks and is underdeveloped? Do you "simp for" a character played by a child/teen actor?
If you said yes to any of these, stay away from me. But this is the end of my thoughts. Thanks for your time.
did school is stressful
