Well, funny thing about feminism: like any movement, there are varied branches of opinion. I know about the Rapelay story, but from what I heard it sounded like a pearl-clutching, "think of the children" conservative dug it up and alerted the news to without examining context.

Seriously? Maybe 2nd wave feminists, but the modern 3rd wave is about allowing sexually deviant, "sexy" portrayals, provided there are other positive and opposite sorts of media in place to give a balanced POV.

Then it should be in the vidya gaem section.

Sounds like she's not very comfortable with her sexuality yet.

"Dating" (however impossible it may seem) gay men might be a safety net that ensures friendship, but means they won't act out sexual desires with her.

Seem that she isn't ready (or perhaps, interested) in a heterosexual relationship at this point if she actively seeks out gay guys.

I'm sorry, but is there some kind of context for this?

WTF?

Around here at my NJ school (and other NJ colleges), this WAS a big deal.

This guy was definitely harmed by his roommate's (and the other student who onlooked) actions. He was a freshman who had not come out yet as gay, was insecure, just starting out, and this other young man decided to make a spectacle of his personal life by surrepticiously using his computer's camera to watch and ridicule Clementi's sexual acts.

Then, using knowledge of such acts and footage, spreading that personal information, KNOWING the young man had not made his orientation public. Not only is that slander, that's harrassment based on his sexual preference.

Sure, the roommate didn't push Clementi off that bridge in his final moments, but he certainly drove him to that sad conclusion. Going against not only school policy but also the law, the student (and even the other onlooker) deserves punishment to the extent that the court sees fit.

There is no misunderstanding in this case. The young man had intent to observe Clementi without his permission, and then CONTINUED to do so, while involving other students, for the express purpose of humiliation.

Ah, I'd heard about it being a game already, for some reason I thought that now it had been picked up for an anime.
Derp.

I've been working on this one, but until more outfits and 3d import gets added to the program, I'm rather limited... lol https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=72776

Don't you mean to say, "MY GOD, *THEY'RE* FULL OF SHIT"?

It's generally accepted that tanookis have huge balls. It's a part of Japanese folklore.

No child over there would find it THAT bawdy... but yeah, weird movie.

More like "how the heck is this even a show". Seriously, for every utter crap show like this that gets made, some awesome show idea is given the boot.

Ugh.

Sorry but if you actually gave into someone that young and inexperienced, you've made an incredibly poor choice for yourself.

It looks bad for you, and will probably just fuck her up in the long term. You best be trolling.

That seems like a rather odd way of doing things... but then again, who is supposed to keep them updated?
Shouldn't the uploaders/translation groups get the report?

I'd agree that this is a big topic that needs FAR more analysis and research.

Yes, as a cartoon/animated medium, there's a long standing tradition of stereotype/caricature, but sometimes there are very adverse effects to keeping such norms in place.

My friends get pissed off when I try to do any sort of gendered analysis of anime beyond a few simple statements, but honestly, it's like any media: a reflection of its creators' and culture's views.

Evidence from weird fetish =/= causation. lol...

AAAYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I remember back in middle school (when we had to wear uniforms, lol all girls catholic...) we'd wear boxers under our skirts. It was a funny trend, but like colorful socks, one of the few custom touches you could put on your outfits.

Boxers are still semi-popular in women's sizes for sleepwear, though the trend was more 1990s-to-early-2000s...lol good timees.

Sorry, but don't change who you are just to fit a (possibly temporary) girl/boy friend's fancies.

That never works out.

If anything, you offer a BETTER deal by refraining (well, a bit of booze is okay if you drink wisely) from all that. You offer something lots of people *don't* have by refusing to cave to bullshit culture that tries overly hard to prove a warped idea of gender identity.
