I'm beginning to suspect that there is a little more to the portrayal of rape/sexual assault in manga than "the authors have a kink for it" or "the authors write what sells." Of course that is sometimes the case, but how people write/see the world is often influenced by what happens around them. Like the "train molester" trope. In manga, I don't......   1 reply

Purple orchids because orchids are beautiful and purple is my favorite color. orchids represent luxury, beauty, and love, which I can't relate to, but it also represents thoughtfulness, an important character value of mine. My second favorite is jasmine because they are pretty and that's what my name means.   reply

I'm going back because i'm much happier when I'm on campus. I'm willing to take any precaution other than not going back to school or more than one online class (I'm super bad at online). I'm so depressed being around my family for so long.   4 reply

I was 13 (2012/13). I was on deviantart looking for Black Butler fanart. In the the you might like section I caught a glimpse of a peculiar title. It was a pairing, but the names were... strange. I thought it was a joke. So I click and began reading. This was me first yaoi fanfiction. I then looked for the anime of origin, found it, and fell in lov......   reply

Sleep paralysis is a scary thing to experience. I hope it does not happen to you again. You did ask for this but.. Sleep paralysis can be caused by having horrible sleeping habits or mental stressors. Avoid caffeine before sleeping and try to wind down at the same time ever night.

I can't help you if you go straight work. If you do decide to go to college, you'll buy yourself more time to figure things out. I'm almost done and still don't know what I'm going to do and the same goes for many other students. You could start with community college first to save money and see what happens from there, but college isn't for ever......   1 reply

Because some people like the idea of having someone want them and someone that acknowledges the fact they could lose them. Also, some people just like the jealous type in fiction. Obviously, some take it too far, but, in the end, it's the artist's preference.   reply

What definition of nuance are you using? The definition I know and the context you're using it are not adding up in my mind. I'm genuinely confused and I just want to understand what's happening.   1 reply

Maybe I can give her the benefit of the doubt. She could be talking about the other, non-serial killer Sangwoo. Though chances are that's not the case. Just wishful thinking I guess.   reply

Yes. They can call themselves whatever they want. Whether they call themselves fujoshis or not they're still going to be stereotyped, so whatever.   reply

Short Answer: I was bullied for being ugly and not belonging. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until I was an adult. So, I went through my childhood masking and half the time I couldn't even do that right. People called me weird, slow, retarded, and other awful things. I was excluded and targeted just because it was easy. I had very few friends and o......   reply

I'd be the most disappointing alpha.   reply

It depends on if the plot is interesting. So far, i've only read like 2 manhua with decent plots.   reply

I understand what you are asking, but the phrasing makes it seem as though this a question just for BL readers. You had said somewhere in the answers that is not case, but others are coming into this thread with the idea that these answers are just from straight women (the people that are commonly thought of when bl or it terms is mentioned) and no......   reply
