I don't have an inherent issue with yumeshipping and don't want to be hypocritical. I want the internet to be less judgemental and won't contribute to that.
>>12839
You can have your own preferences, but there's no moral issue with female characters beating up male characters. Or any characters beating up other characters.

>>12840
I don't have an issues with the concept of yumes either because most people, me included, have had times where we yume a character and want a relationship/lust after them. However the vitriol fujos are getting is ridiculous and I'm just tired of being thrown under the bus.

Back then Mary Sues were mocked and writers and artists were bullied for it. I cannot help but to wonder what the fandom world between hetties, yumes, and fujos would be like now if girls and women were not bullied over silly, harmless wish fulfillment all those years ago

>>12836
>what's the point of shipping if she treats him like a punching bag?
>Honestly based as someone who also likes hetshit

Usually I get the fictional men vs real men thing but hating men and shipping straight ships makes no sense. it unironically makes more sense to hate men and ship yaoi in a weird way.
>as long as the shipper respected male character & make the hetship wholesome
Not necessarily wholesome but it's always annoying to see an angry man and an angry woman being romantically involved, because it always ends with the male being forced to take the shit because he is madly in love or some other excuses, while people pretend the woman is saint and at the same time spit fire on any other woman in the same story.

Dear yaoigods, please heal chamuring's hands, her heart, her health. Let her recover fully and gently and when she's ready to create again, bless her to comeback with a new BL series instead of bait. AMEN

I sorta hate the art of Boundary of Delusion, but I enjoyed it too! Nanjo is such a dweeb and so naïve in his own way. The next season starts in the summer, I think, and I think it'll be more of a standard romance from then on because the third guy of the love triangle is totally out of the picture now (though, I'm sure he'll still show up). Apparently, the author pairs the third guy up with a older gangstar in-so-far as I remember from the author's note, but I'm not sure if she's planning to illustrate that.
>>6513
What's this from? I'm guessing a yaoi-bait webtoon?

I'm also following Annoying Boy and it's fun as well, but I'm a sucker for dickhead semes. That said, I'd do a ritual sacrifice for it to get an official TL because holy shit. Anyway, Jihan and Manager-kun are very cute, I dig the art overall.
>>6554
>I sorta hate the art
Yeah? I wasn't too hot on the uncensor on the officials but otherwise I don't think anything bothered me. Well, the arm/hand veins were a bit standout, at times.
>it'll be more of a standard romance from then on
You figure? That'll be interesting, I assumed Sunhwa'd probably stick around for drama, but guess we'll see! I hadn't looked at the AN so that's interesting to know he gets paired off.

>>12832
That's fair. I get the setting can be samey, tropey, and overall dull since high school issues are peanuts compared to what other BL settings can offer, and I'll concede on that point. However, the ones who sperg about it because underage need to shut the fuck up.

>>12829
High school can be a boring setting, but moralfagging about highschool-aged characters is beyond annoying. Stfu and get filtered.

I like seme x seme. What does that mean? I ship two people are canonically semes in the same series. One example is Kagiura x Sasaki. I also just like the archetype that many semes get put into (possessive, prone to jealousy, more sexually forward, etc.) so two of that is heaven to me. Most ukes tend to annoy me on principle.

Started Bacchikoi tonight and did a run through of the bad end. The game has such cute character designs, going to do Ichiru first and then Masaru.

>>6549
Ohhh I remember playing this, loved Masaru, he was such a hot himbo.

>>6552
Definitely a cute design, he reminds me of Makoto in Free, though much more of a loser (affectionate).

Darn Headmasters ruined Galvatron for me, anytime I read a fic with him I automatically read his dialogue with Rik's alcoholic grandpa voice, it kills the moment.

>>1711
My favorite part about english Headmasters is when the actors cover their mouths because the character has a faceplate. Best dub ever.

>>1711
Wait until he reprises his role as a third of the Victory cast.

The writers of the script are insane.

>completely dressed head to toe with very basic personalities
I think this is more of a problem in genshin tbh, at least HSR seems ok when it comes to designs and personalities.
I don't really need male characters to be half-naked anyway, fanart exists for a reason, and even then there is an occasional Mydei or the new Blade who have quite a sexy design. Personalities are hit and miss but that applies to males and females equally.
>There's better video games you can play with cute boys, better gacha games you can play with cute boys, better everything imo.
If cute boys is all I cared about I'd just look at random art online without caring about playing the games or enjoying the story.

>>12776
I argue Zhongchi was actually interesting because true, Genshin always was more about throwing ingredients and letting people cook, but the tropes were so big they paid attention. Only reason it fell off is because China is butthurt at the idea of their god being in a homo ship. There was some conflict with harbinger sent undercover but not really with archon pulling the strings, but Hoyo absolutely sucks at doing ships with conflicts and Childe went from being a character who was the only one who introduced some moral dimension to the game to being a joke because Hoyo is ass at storytelling.
>>12783
Chinese fans reported them because yumes are schizos.
>>12790
Hoyo yaoi is very bland, even HSR makes you think some yaoi is going to be peak but they take so long doing anything and the resolutions are always so fast because the players are infants. Renheng was cool but just now got some more teasing, but it's so flavorless because Hoyo always plays it safe with all their stories. Other games that can do more won't be popular because they don't have the reach Hoyo has. The only other options are otome games that hate fujos, and waifu shit. Hoyo is "it" for fujos because it's the only game with normalfag appeal and the ingredients for fandom, and it does suck for fujos.

>>12819
>Renheng was cool but just now got some more teasing, but it's so flavorless because Hoyo always plays it safe with all their stories.
Is it really flavorless? The bait is strong and in your face, their relationship getting better is all thanks to years of DH's character development, sucks if you were only into it because of them trying to kill each other but the story was always leading to them getting along again.
The only problem I have is that a lot of their interactions went offscreen but we still got way more than I personally expected.
Honestly I don't think hoyo will ever be able to do some genuinely interesting complicated dynamics because of censorship.

>>1230
Nona, idk if you'll see this, but there's a Taiwanese (? I'm assuming Taiwanese BL authors can show explicit sex vs Chinese ones) webtoon called Moretones that sorta fills this niche. But, YMMV because it has a lot of rape in it between the caretaker (the older uke) and the patient (younger seme) and they first met when the seme was very young. They're "cousins" but I'm pretty sure they aren't actually related. It's a wild ride and I was bewildered everytime I tried reading it.

>>1242
thank you!

Reiwa Hanamaru style all male setting but it's set in a big mansion and follows the maid staff who gossip and spy on the lives of the master of the house and his visitors.

Randomly saw this on my algorithm. Sex magic is so good.

I think public nuisance moid behaviour is fun when it's anime boys doing it.

I enjoy being unabashed about my tastes, I don't care how bizarre and contradictory it all is

I like small tops and genki tops, I like OOC fanon feminized characters because its fun and camp, I like cuntboy but not in the aiden troon way but in the way where its just the opposite of futanari for men

This doesn't apply to all of my ships I'm tradjoshi for many things, but for the other half of things I've been told I enjoy it all 'backwards'

it is what it is, anyways- love and peace to the world

Yes and no, I just checked a few pages of the first volumes in a store long ago and the MC thinks that just because she's a lesbian and she's a tomboy that means she's a brave and stunning transboi.

I hate he/theys so fucking much. Everyone fucking knows you are a fucking woman you fucking moron. No one's going to take part in this retarded LARP with you so you can pretend to have Higher Yaoi Gay Man Knowledge because you cut your hair above your shoulders and wore a baggy shirt.

I follow artists but also use twitter to keep up with releases for new video games and manga/anime without interacting directly with people, and to check information about conventions and which artists will go there, at least at first. I also wanted to post my video game progress on twitter as soon as I got my Switch because the feature to post directly on twitter with the Switch was still there at the time, my backlog of games was getting out of control and I saw people posting about ACNH and wanted inspiration from their islands and houses, I thought why not? But I made a few mutuals along the way who are into BL and the same books and games I enjoy and when I'm very bored I post a lot more, which is usually when I'm stuck outside or at my job. I post way less when I have way more free time because I keep myself busy with better things to do. By the way, some Japanese artists are paranoid and will assume the worst if you don't actually use twitter yourself and only like and/or retweet things, especially the ones with locked account who accept anybody who's over 18 years old, so posting from time to time actually helped following more artists.

As to why twitter and not another platform, on top of the Asian fandoms staying on twitter after a shit ton of Japanese and Korean artists and fans fled tumblr around 2016/2017, it's like I said, because I could easily post screenshots on the Switch. I know how to transfer them to my phone now but it didn't work the first time I tried because of internet problems with my previous phone. It's very dumb, I know.

>>13732
>There's no one even worth talking to on those sites for you to be broadcasting all your info there
They exist in theory, but in practice it's a major pain in the ass to find random cool people to follow, especially with a certain someone buying twitter and ruining it for everyone the past few years. New rules means a lot of regular normal people who post a lot about normal topics or fan stuff are treated as bots and banned while actual bots have more views than ever. At least I never post personal info that could get me doxed and even removed lots of pictures of my recent trips overseas just in case.

So Final fantasy 14's free trial now includes Shadowbringers, my favourite expansion in the game, so I'd like to give it a shoutout. I can't say anything substantial about the ShB story content without spoilers but I enjoy the way it depicts the theme of still finding hope amidst extreme hardship. Earlier expansion stories have themes such as corruption in the church affecting a whole nation and how younger generations deal with growing up in a colonized country. On a lighter note, throughout the whole game I can actually count five male characters who are captivated by (you) in some form or another. Instead of treating it like a yume thing you can just make your player character an OC to ship with your favourite male NPC or use the canon MC design to treat it like a Persona/Pokemon MC situation. The NPC/NPC BL ships that I'm personally interested in are in the expansions you still need to pay for so I can't actually use those as advertising for the free trial. While this game is an MMO the devs have taken steps to make it solo friendly by adding NPC party members for battle content that's required for story progress. You can play with mouse and keyboard but it also has controller support.

>not doing the (new) meme pitch
Would be good for the general fandom to get more fujos. I was big on Asahi/Zenos but apparently no one but 10 people care. I know it's one sided. That is the point. I want messy toxic yaoi.

I watched My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) and it was pretty good. It was definitely more like a slice-of-life film and admittedly I looked at spoilers just to make sure it wasn't a sad ending. I sorta regret that and I need to stop looking at spoilers, but I also didn't want to watch a tragic gay movie and the vibes of the first half of the film scared me into thinking it might end badly kek. Omar and Johnny are pretty hot together and their chemistry is palpable from the get-go. Omar's a cutie-pie despite acting reckless/sorta scummy the entire film and I like that Johnny (who is, yes, an early Daniel Day-Lewis) is clearly head-over-heels for him in spite of the shit Omar gets them into. I recommend the movie if you're into more chill, slice-of-life films with somewhat subtle commentary on being gay during the '80s and in the Thatcher era. also, I really like what they do with Tania, Omar's cousin and potential fiancée…

The Cable Guy is male yandere kino with a great 90's soundtrack

I do think to some extent it's Viv's own fault for cultivating this fanbase. Why is some previously-human guy from florida more of an embodiment of lust as a sin than the actual demon Asmodeus who basically drops a consent PSA onto the viewer?

Helluva Boss has less editor input, and it shows.

At this point, I think it's fun for what it is. We don't often get to see such an unashamedly female show, part of the charm is seeing her have fun with her OCs.

That said, you can really tell that she was more of a total creator. The shift from episodic comedy to plot-driven drama, the embodiments of sin being tonally inconsistent, and the whole Blitzo and Stolas were actually childhood friends reveal.

That said, I'll add that 2-D animation generally needs someone with a strong and consistent vision to create a successful product, and Helluva is a lot of fun.

I absolutely adore Staticmoth and I'm excited to see how their relationship + Vox and Val themselves will develop.
