At least for me Season 1 and 2 were the only good ones, and the movie. Happy Kiss started strong but had too much MOTW and the ending fell really flat. But it's best to try it and decide for yourself if you want to continue it, because it's just my opinion.

binge-watched takopi and feel like the story was amusing but standard edgy dark animanga stuff with the bullying and abuse. i can't get over how cute takopi is though. i wish i could hug and hold a giant takopi

For how long? They'll be going after them one-by-one, just like they've been already doing with Japanese companies (DLsite, Melonbooks, NicoNico, Manga Library Z, Tora, Fantia, some otaku dating site - https://automaton-media.com/en/nongaming-news/visa-payment-suspended-on-legal-dating-site-for-otaku-prompting-response-from-japanese-politician ).
Japan was their trial run (it succeeded) - they will come after American companies next.

>Ofcom’s Whitehead spoke about the importance of ‘harmonizing’ legislation, not just between different laws, like the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) and the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA), but also between government agencies and industry. “We say [the DSA and OSA] are regulatory cousins, they’re not twins. But they do share some things in common.” Whitehead said. “We don’t have powers to instruct folks to take content down, we’re not there to surveil and censor, we're there to improve governance, improve standards, improve safety by design,” she noted. “I think the onus is on us to explain what they have in common and also what the differences are.”
>The FTC’s Slaughter picked up on this thread, explaining how harmony and directional convergence among international regulators is good not only for regulators but for industry, too. “It is how you foster coherent innovation, development, business growth, and opportunity, and we really want to see that,” she said. “The US hasn't had new legislation in this area recently, but there have been really important developments, many of which are consistent with some of the things that we're seeing across the ocean and around the country,” Slaughter added.
>The two panelists also spoke about the importance of different jurisdictions being as aligned as possible on privacy and safety regulations, and how to help industry navigate areas where they differ.
>One of Slaughter’s frustrations is that there’s still no comprehensive federal privacy bill in the US.

JAST to the rescue.

I mean, BL's a pretty popular genre though
You know how much of an anti you gotta be?
First time she read Togainu no Chi
She shut it off, "it's not for me"
And honestly it's cool
It don't gotta be for you
It does make this a strange manga to pursue
That's my problem with this prude
She isn't even a slash fan
She bought Zakkura doujins
Thinking they were sequels to VII

What's stopping them from making their own shit? So many writing tutorials exist online for them to learn, but nah, let's bully women for not making yurislop for us. I seriously can't fathom barging into fandoms spaces and leaving surprised you have to make shit you like if you wanna see more things you like?

maybe this belongs in another thread but the best f/f fics I've read have been written by fujos. I like yuri myself but interact with it in different ways than yaoi. even if that wasn't the case, nobody is obligated to like something or produce yuri content kek

My phone dies when I try this game, but when I learned there wasn't a single male horse hiding in it I instantly lost interest lol.

I wish the ones that were stallions irl would be anime boys but oh well, I understand anime girls sell more

>>10657
I wish indie seiyuu got more roles.

Can someone belonging to an agency be called indie?

>>10666
Yeah, I wonder. If 'the agency' is just a one-person business?

>>10452
No, Ive legit wanted to be a boy since decades ago. It is what it is, but…its just different.

Feel free to add the patterns you've noticed with whatever characters you've seen.

Personally, while I find all transwashing very annoying, what I hate the most is when the characters are transed to the opposite gender. Since the first one can be somewhat ignored but the second is impossible.

Its gotten to a point where crossdressing characters(who I used to love) have been ruined for me, particularly the male ones because I keep thinking about how if the character was popular in the west they would definitely be called a trans woman. There are two shows that I like which have this trope and I feel bad because I want to see more English speaking content of them but also if it became more popular in the west the trannyfication is inevitable.

I hate it because it reminds me of IRL MTFs who are extremely creepy and annoying, and it makes me feel disgusted by the character sometimes even though they didn't actually do anything wrong. I keep thinking that if they were real they would 90% become a tranny since I've seen so many femboy types IRL who did that shit to the point where it feels inevitable.

Also I see some fans on tumblr and such who HC characters as opposite gender trans with no basis and get mad when people use the canon pronouns on their posts which is just so dumb.

I picked up Brutal Legend again because of Ozzy's passing. Despite it's jankiness and odd action/rts genre mashup it still holds a place in my heart as someone that grew up listening to heavy metal. I really wish we could get a sequel but I doubt there will ever be one.

I love the game, the idea of BDSM heavy metal demons that all really, really want to fuck their leader is top tier. I think what killed it was all the genres they tried to mash together… I liked the RTS sections, but come on.

I've been playing the PSP version of Final fantasy tactics. I'm in chapter 3 and kinda mixed on it cause while the story and general graphics and music are fine there's some stuff about the combat system that irks me. At this point I'm just taking a detour to grind my units' Faith on random battle maps with Orators cause I'm sick and tired of Arise missing. Black magic is an annoyance too when friendly fire exists or when an enemy unit can just move out of range before it finishes casting. Admittedly part of my problem is that the only strategy game series I've been playing is Fire emblem and that just works differently.
