Question page 234 (50470)

If so, how do you think we should deal with it now? And if we don't do anything about it now, how do you think we will manage when it comes back to bite us in the future?

Something I thought about recently was how representation really affects what your reading
I was reading a horror/psychological manga and it included scenes of child grooming/SA/rape and what was so disturbing I that could genuinely relate some of these SA scenes to scenes in yaoi/bl stories and what's crazy is that one is horror and one is glorified rape but only one of them is actually seen as disturbing and the problems are actually adressed
Yes not all stories are constantly about representation and sure there are reader's who call out these disturbing topics and there are reader's who say fiction is fiction and both are their opinions so I'm not segregating them into morally wrong and right
But this just reminded me how depection really really changes just about everything

Personally I don't read too much horror/psychological yaoi or stories in general beacuse I know what I can handle reading and can't and some of these topics are too dark for me but for those who read it how do you bounce back from it?
Whenever I read books with really dark topics I can't lie and say it doesn't make me feel out of it but I usually try and distract myself with not reading anything for a while etc. Does anyone else get affected by what they read or is it just me?

Aside from medication ofc, like, do you drink? Smoke? Take substances?
What is your guilty pleasure way on coping with anxiety?

I actually am so lost but I swear im not stupid i just need someone to explain. I have a rough idea of whats happening and I really want tot like the story but it actually makes no sense

When you have a deeply rooted inferiority complex so you try to be very defensive by putting up a superiority complex instead. Like you feel invaluable deep down but on the exterior you make it seem like you're the most valuable or that others are invaluable compared to you, you try to make yourself *feel* superior by skills, appearance or wellbeing so you feel validated. you try so so hard to appear better off than other people to fill in your emptiness. You seek constant validation from people you deem "valuable" (might be physical appearance, public popularity, skills, lifestyle, well being etc) and when one of your friend is "valuable" you feel inferior. You feel the need to distance yourself so they come after you and the more they come after you the more your ego feels satisfied. Because "oh...a valuable person is desperately coming after me" so when you distance yourself and be cold to a certain limit they move on and that gives you a critical hit. They will keep going forward, but you're forever stuck in your delusions and cowardice. I always found myself trying to get validation from men because I deemed them powerful in society, I felt disgusting because I'm a huge misandrist but I realized it wasn't about men but valuable people.
I just realized this and I feel so empty I don't know what to do

Hey I just saw a instagram post that the red fruit shu was giving tei was similar fruit in sy&cp i forgot but I think it can get u pg now why do I think cause now we know that tei won't get pg our shuraka migh turn into that tree that bears that fruit due the NATAM'S will ╥﹏╥ this is my theory what do u guys think ? I'm all ears for ur theory as well feel free to rant

im fr gonna kms. im p okay with new being gone cuz idrc abt comics that much lately BUT FUCKKKKK THEY HAD TO TAKE DOWN BOOK TOO??? i was planning on reading/catching up on my novels but in the middle of studying for a quiz i see these sites going down and i genuinely wanted to jump

I searched it everywhere but can't find it..? Even in the raws it said there is no results.

I just want to know because people are useless not putting the title of description after recommending it

idk bruh i feel like im being gaslit; have you guys noticed any readings that are missing? i’ve tried organizing everything multiple times but i could’ve sworn i had more that 1k in reading… （￣へ￣）

With the new laws being implemented by the sk government idk how much longer this site will last. Could anyone tell me how I could save my reads?

Is it smart to meet up and begin talking again with a friend who has ghosted me three times because of mental health issues? (Venting) He is very kind and understanding most of the time. I really wanna be there for him, but I think I’m letting him walk all over me.

I honestly prefer dub more in most animes. I just prefer subs for most old og anime.

Omg where the fuck am I going to find raws now. First it was bato. They had manga raws occasionally. Now Newtoki is down. They had literally any manhwa ever fuck. Where the hell do I go now… someone give me a site please.. email it to me..

I really need to get this off my chest. I’ve been into writing for a while, and recently, I taught a friend who became interested in it the ropes: how to post, which platforms to use, and even some writing tips. But now, they’ve actually become better than me, and their work is getting way more attention. I know it’s not their fault for being talented, and i should probably be proud but I can’t help feeling hella jealous and insecure. It’s reaching a point where I’m honestly considering quitting because I feel like I’ll never be good enough...

P.S. Please don't ask for the links to our works! I’d like to keep everything anonymous to protect our privacy, plus I'm not really looking for a comparison lol. I just needed to let this out

It will take a lifetime but I feel like we need to archive at least the titles somewhere (google doc maybe) maybe on manga updates. There's so many old stories that will be lost if this site shuts down

i feel like guys these days are so shallow and personality-less?, like to the point where all they wanna do is kiss and fuck bro like what happened to yearning, to soft romance, why am i stuck with horny teenagers who objectify every living thing????????? this is why i read novels cause i love the tension, the buildup, the yearning, the jealousy OHMYGOD, i want that, not this fake makeout crap ewewew. i wanna find someone genuine and i feel like guys these days are so transcational? or is it just me, and i hate the "just do it" culture cause wdym i have to do it cause everyone has? i wanna date,kiss and do whatever on my own terms.
