What an amazing genre. How could anyone hate BL?

Have you ever found yourself lamenting, "Wow, I wish I could just be wresting away control of a half-eaten fried chicken bone that was just on the sidewalk!"? If so, then dog ownership is for you!

Adding a coupon to your salon at the end of your breakup letter to your girlfriend is a power move.

I like how you can instantly tell who a Seven Seas title is for by the tits on the cover. Giant dobonhonkeroos unbothered by the earth's gravity? 16-25 year old straight guys. Average sized breasts and no boob bag, or no tits at all? Everyone else.

Every goddamn person on the planet was a "drain on society" as a baby and will be again at the end of their life and some of us are in the middle too, and this does not mean they're not beloved and worthy of a happy fulfilling life!

One really frustrating thing about the Tylenol/autism discourse is that some autistic people (like EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON) are NOT able to "contribute to society" or even live independently. BUT ALSO this is THE POINT OF A SOCIETY, SO THAT WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER.

Someone on reddit accused me of rage baiting for saying society looks down on the things enjoyed by girls and women, and I want to call his mother. The nerve.

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

Lol. Lmao, even.

Fellow Americans, an amazing thing that basically never happens anymore happened to me today: my health insurance is covering some expensive equipment with zero co-pay. I'm getting a $16k eye tracker enabled tablet and a wheelchair mount for $0 out of pocket.

Honor student x delinquent is my catnip, and the characters have some nice depth to them in this one. I've really been enjoying the all-ages BL Lezhin introduced lately.

I can't believe today's manga wasn't a josei. I'm not too surprised it's a seinen, because anything can be a seinen these days, but the characters' ages and the art had me thinking it ran in Feel Young, for sure.

Also, rules like this make it INFINITELY harder to avoid. When you disincentive proper tagging because people aren't sure how your vague rules might punish them, you make it so we end up seeing content we could have avoided if the rules had been "mark this so people can avoid it"

While I am generally not the target market for any sort of nonconsensual sexual content, there is absolutely no world in which you can trust to the discretion of moderators in judging this sort of thing. It will always end badly, and in a different place from where YOU thought the line was.

Dandadan gets all the shine lately, but Hanako-kun is the real master of supernatural shounen action with strong romance writing.

Why are we still talking about this when it has already been decided?

There's a certain kind of dark humor in describing white men as "a different type of candidate".

Men should be doing this instead of starting podcasts

This entire article was a really good read for this Monday morning www.thenation.com/article/acti...

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell people that Isobel/Tonda is losing her battle with cancer. She has been diagnosed as terminal & is now in comfort care @ her bffs house. GFM link below, DM if you want to send Isobel/Tonda direct funds (preferred)for her care. #fuckcancer gofund.me/73738360a

*quietly googles AEW Toni Storm* Oh no. I don't have time to get into wrestling, but I think I've got to now.

It's weird to explain this to non-wrestling fans, but: Right now in the US, there are two national pro wrestling companies, and the publicly traded one is bear-hugging Trump, while the one that is independently owned by a single billionaire nepo baby is frequently gayer than 8 guys blowing 9 guys.

I don't know if you'll see this, @isobelcarr.com , but the time I went to RT in New Orleans in 2014 and was sitting in my wheelchair feeling a bit lost in the hotel lobby, you walked right up to me, asked if I was Ridley, and pulled me into your group of chit-chatting authors.

Turkey's bad, Takopi is kneecapped by a weak ending, and To Be Hero X isn't anime, but the rest of these are great picks. If I can add some less popular standouts:

on god the generational trauma and cycle of closeted queerness is gonna end with yoshiki and hikaru i speak that into existence

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

The way this is written, you can't post screenshots of high school BL sold by mainstream manga publishers, so that kinda seems bad.

But we also have to recognize the material reality of the situation. Witch Hat Atelier isn't aimed at adult men. Neither is A Bride's Story. You can't make assumptions about intended audience based on something being published in a seinen magazine.

Multiple women who write/draw stories about women have said that seinen doesn't mean aimed at men anymore, it means general audiences. So like, yeah I'm bummed that it seems to have soaked up a lot of the diversity once afforded shoujo and josei

Every time I see someone something is aimed at men just because it's published as seinen I sigh. I've had multiple occasions to ask why something is published as seinen instead of joseimuke and the answer is always that seinen is where they get the most creative freedom.

The bad news keep coming These go into effect Oct 15th

My dad's truck played NPR, and only NPR. If Car Talk came on, he'd turn it up.

I'm going to hatewatch yet another Studio Bind anime just to argue about character design on reddit. I'm not living my best life.

No new pictures, where you at mentally?

One of the Anime Feminist reviewers routinely watches a different show than I did, because I swear that's the only way they'd reach the insights they do. Like, this paragraph about Captivated, by You simply isn't true. It's the opposite of what happened! www.animefeminist.com/captivated-b...

Ten volumes into Last Game, and even the side characters are losing patience with this couple not getting together yet.

Went to CVS in eastern Mass yesterday without an appointment, and walked out 20 minutes later with flu and covid shots in our arms and a pair of $10 off $20 coupons.

fascism is here and you can no longer find your favorite shows and movies on Poob. it’s not on Poob anymore.

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing. In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order: opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun ⬇️ www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/one-...

This getting more episodes than Yona of the Dawn ever did is just plain rude.

Visual Prison - Vampires hold a visual kei song contest to sing to the blood moon and get a wish granted. Aired in Fall 2021, fell off streaming when Funimation became Crunchyroll in spring 2024, forgotten by all, but number one in my heart. Amazing OP - animethemes.moe/anime/visual...

Yeah, I'm sorry, you don't fucking RSVP for protests. That Indivisible keeps asking people to do it makes me think less of them. What are people on about?

I'm up through episode 7 of Nukitashi, and all my BL manhwa reading has me chuckling at his "monster cock". It's big, but it's not Hounds of Sisyphus or Jinx big. It can't even put a down payment on Dear Door, lol.

Almost 45 years old, and I'm watching an anime about a rebel group of virgins taking on the pervert government of fuck-fest island where sex is mandatory. I'd say it's reddit's fault, but it was bluesky that showed me the fun opening. bsky.app/profile/toas...

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.
