Japanese by far, though by no means is it all or even mostly good. Korean BL is very formulaic and clichéd, soap opera, either sugar fluff or edgy, rapey stuff. And that "always fighting" mindset, living on credit, wearing brands, vying for position, and measuring everything with money and titles. Then there are the cults, gangsters, corrupt digni......   2 reply

People equate glasses with intellectualism, based on an old misconception that reading, rather than poor lighting, causes vision loss. Reading being associated with wisdom, same as old age, or baldness with manliness. It is a dubious association to say the least. If you ever had to wear glasses, even just the sun variety, you know how annoying they......   3 reply

Because women like them bad boys, make excuses for them, spawn more. They have no reason to grow up and treat you well, because they know they can get away with it. The days of them being able to beat you are gone, and yet so little has changed. Stop falling for assholes, having their children and deluding yourselves that you can change them, or th......   4 reply

It is just another fetish and should be treated as such. It is not "yuck", but it is overblown. What needs normalization is Christianity with its virginity obsession and hypocritical Victorian mores. They hate sex, yet that is all they can think about, and often in a pathological way. Hence the many abuses thtat do not happen as often and do not re......   1 reply

I guess it is one of those things you have to try yourself, to find out it is not for you. Luckily I am not nearly as flexible as I used to be, because I do not feel tempted at all anymore. The only thing that reminds me of it sometimes is when I eat oysters, which I also try to avoid.   reply

This is the XXI century. Tell them to sit and spin. Especially if they are english.   reply

He was not abusive or anything, just distant, and by that I mean practically not there. No interest, other than taking report cards and gloating to friends, as if he had anything to do with it. Not doing any housework, or even fixing stuff that was broken. In the end, not even providing the minimum standard and letting the family slip into poverty ......   reply

Look at all those denials. That is how you know they did. Otherwise why bother. So many former fraternity brohers (and sisters).   reply

I bring a semiautomatic and rearrenge the hierarchy. No more of this pseudobio SM BS. Death to all the bullies, free spines for all the weaklings. Everyone is happy, utopia at last.   1 reply

Bullying is peak in high school, and then workplace, if your luck is bad. You are not doing it right. Walk up to the bully and say stop, if they don't, pull the trigger.   reply

Cliched fluff is about half the stories on here, the other half being toxic rapey sht. I can't recommend anything like that, as that is not exactly my thing, but I will try. Love Tractor was kinda cute if I remember right. Sonna ni Iu Nara Daiteyaru is a decent read with that jock/nerd vibe, though not exactly. On or Off is good, but I would not bo......   2 reply

I would recommend Ghost in the Shell, Memories or anything by Satoshi Kon, about half of Miyazaki's oeuvre, and perhaps the first run of Hellsing, but seeing as you did not enjoy Cowboy Bebop or Berserk (assuming first run, not remake), then perhaps anything on Netflix. Normaly I would say that anything on there is most likely terrible, but some mi......   1 reply

First, remind yourself that they are not all out to getcha, it is just paranoia. Second try to focus on something more specific than gender, like a moustache, or a certain cologne, that makes them bad. If you make your image of a bad guy detailed enough, you will significantly lower your chance of being triggered. Or, get some professional help $$$......   2 reply

It is just like staring. If they are hot, its OK, I blush. If they are not, I start shouting, making disgusted faces, and call the police. They get what they deserve.   2 reply

Dumb, ignorant, scheming, paranoid, bipolar, alcoholic, wreck of a human being. Could be fun at times, but came with a huge bill, every time. Not a friendship I had chosen, but one of those group deals. Ended up causing a lot of damage to the group as well. Easy to drop. On the other hand what was more devastating was my best friend of almost two ......   reply

There was this media campaign with clebrities a while back, about which is the proper way to fold toilet paper for wiping, you decide Britain. I am still not convinced and need more celebrity input on the subject. Until the matter is decided publicly, I am holding my... breath.   reply

The reason why I hate men is because they bathe in cologne, and I feel like I am choking and gaging every time one passes by. Get a fking clue guy.   reply

Ive had a pair for 20 years, but can get along without them (very slight defect). Apart from looks and the assumptions people make, I would think the welts on your nose and that episode of the Twilight Zone where he finally gets peace and time enough to read, but they break. With contacts it is the maintenance, the eye infections, and having to con......   reply

No, but I have always fantasized about it. Aren't they always better in your imagination than online.   reply
