the last sentence got me crying yo
but genuinely, religious indoctrination especially at your age can be a very powerful weapon of control, especially from, say, adults closest to you responsible for your wellbeing. it's easy to assume your friends should've fought this kind of rhetoric from their family or communities, and you're not wrong to feel...... 1 reply
Stop using AI, you’re contributing to an active water crisis. Data centers are polluting rural and low income neighborhoods with noise and toxic chemicals making communities nearly unlivable. They use copious amounts of water to cool the systems, leaving families local to data centers with no clean drinkable water. This also throws the natural wa...... 1 reply
I really do think the constant of the internet has ruined or tainted some very common experiences within fandom spaces, especially amongst teenagers. Having an account purely related to yumeshipping art or roleplay is such a non-issue in the grand scheme of media consumption, but adolescents/young adults are compelled by the connective ever-present...... reply
GOD I’d hope so
Matured and started applying media literacy and critical thinking to everything I read because contrary to popular (shallow) belief, it IS that deep and you absolutely can and should criticize the things you consume
Ended up weeding out a lot of rape fantasy BL (I was already doing that) and other strange and apprehensible content...... reply
two worst were people celebrating that one webtoon where the MC ended up with their step sibling they grew up with (could be a lot of stories, i know ) and i made the mistake of bringing critical thinking to the conversation and got dogpiled by horny teen girls—and when i commented on the rapey nature of the relationship between the two MCs of th...... 1 reply
now that i’m in my 20s i’ve realized not only that it actually *is* that deep, but you absolutely *should* criticize the media you consume and you yourself are not immune to criticism on what you enjoy based on the reasons you consume it. my mangago acct is like 7 or 8 years old and i’ve seen discourse on stories like Killing Stalking, BJ Alex, If You Hate Me So, Love is An Illusion!, Never Understand, Love or Hate (EW), Painter of the Night, the list goes on—i was a kid reading this stuff which is evident in my stupid fucking wannabe comedian comments, but i still felt like depending on how a story’s written, some stuff just isn’t right, like the copious amounts of r**e in yaoi that’s supposed to be perceived as “romantic”, or “romantic” incest(???). just like how the normalization of (artistic) CSA material harms real children in Japan, these stories aren’t just stories, and it’s kinda freaky how many kids/teens on here will cuss you all the way out for saying otherwise like they’re morally superior to you. but, what do you all think?
What are y’all’s nonsense tropes that just make you sigh? Nothing huge like assault or thematic like childhood friends to lovers, I’m talking remedial shit.
I’m sick of seeing light hair dark hair couples :/ idk why, I just am! It’s EVERYWHERE
Let me preface this by saying in no way does me criticizing this situation make me ungrateful, and we are all broke as hell to be using this site instead of other monetarily supportive ones. let me talk my shit i feel like the new process of ease to upload chapters has left a lot of room for error and disorganization because inexperienced and hasty mangago users wanna share some screenshots simply bc they suddenly can. and i know it’s a very selfless action bc we all wanna read our manga but i see so many altercations between mangago readers who want to upload and proficient uploaders and even scanlation groups who have a schedule and system that is compromised by excited readers. double chapter uploads, argumentative introductions, and erratic ordering of chapters have really overwhelmed so many manga i’ve seen. and sometimes idk i think the new feature makes this site more messy and confusing than it serves to help, that i’ve personally come across, of course. that’s just me tho!
want to do making friends on mangago
