discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Redyscom]

I happen to be one of those refugees, and I'm still trying to figure out what is and isn't allowed in less restricted areas so I'm erring heavily on the side of caution.

I doubt it, ATF had more content types as well as more... interesting areas of discussion.

Read the rules—they cover most questions, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask the other members.

Pretty much


Remember to sleep a lot and in time and don't forget to drink a lot of water mate, a good diet and plenty of rest do a lot to help with most things

Finally done with New Vegas, sheesh... this time you live Ulysses , I think I'm gonna start either Ninja Gaiden 4 or R&C: Rift Apart (enough of RPG's for now)

Ninja Gaiden is pretty good

ATF was also the reason i found LC. thought there was more content here..

after reading through some admin posts; is this site turning into atf 2.0?

I doubt it, but not entirely. The prestige aspect is indeed more open-ended in a way, like ATF, but I don't think anyone wants to get involved in what ATF got itself into.

This. My vibe is that it will house content that originally could only be hosted in places like ATF, but being a full replacement... one entire subforum is enough for me to say "don't"

The "prohibited content" section just made me more confused and cautious

Shiki hurts itself in its confusion.

... sorry. I wanted to use that line for a long time but I never did find a good set up for it.

If I was the protagonist in this story, I'm sure someone would come save me. It would be like a miracle. But I have no one to save me. There is no god who would grant me a miracle. I'm a murderer, after all. But I've done nothing bad. All I did was feed myself. If I hadn't, I would have starved to death. Would it have been better that way? Am I evil because I didn't let myself starve to death? Give me an answer, Muroi-san! I didn't willingly become such a creature. But if I have a life, shouldn't I treasure it? Is that a sin? Muroi-san! This is what it means to be abandoned by God.

I guess this is meant to say, "Look, we're banning this (not really), so don't you dare do it (we don't care), there won't be any problems (if something happens, we'll say we don't allow it and all the blame falls on the author, not the site)."

I only go back and forth due to a lack of confidence in writing/playing an actual transfem character, otherwise I would feel like they would totally be trans, or GNC at the very least

Don't stick too deeply into labels. the nice part of fiction is that you can pick and choose whatever traits you want. The character can be male and still desire the treatment and some traits associated with a woman without wanting to change what they are. Or they can desire that. The main thing should be the why's and all other traits of their personality. The main mindset should be, in my opinion, a character that just happens to be a femboy/trans

It's a desire to be respectful towards people who are actually trans that is driving this moreso than a mere label. It's not my lived experience so I don't want to make bad assumptions or stereotypes is all.

I think (am not trans myself) that if you're putting that much thought into it then you're already doing a good job at being respectful <3

It keeps bad actors away too, thats way i don't have a problem with gatekeeping, if anime wasn't a hobby for normies now we would't have lost the fanservice and we would still have amazing shows overall, like how games too are becoming more censored

And the reason why I'm being so cagey about them is also why it's easy for me to flip back and forth: I am an ATF refugee so it shouldn't come as a surprise that they'd physically be no different regardless of their identity.

I am prepared to die

I completely agree. And I also agree with the Japanese when they say they should stick to Japanese anime and not try to pander to Western audiences.

First of all, we watch anime because it’s NOT that Western crap—it’s different and daring. Boobs, butts, blood, violence, new and daring ideas—not the trash churned out on an assembly line by so many Western companies.

On top of that, every time something fresh comes out in the West, they usually dismiss it because “it’s weird,” when that’s exactly what makes it wonderful.

It's good to be thoughtful, but as long as you write as your character's living experiences then it doesn't matter if it is assumptions or stereotypes because cause and effect gives dept to them. Observing others to have a more solid basis for your character's actions can be productive, but by the end of the day the setting will never be 1:1 with reality so it will be up to you to bounce their traits against the world you wrote to fully flesh them out or else they become a caricature. People will complain either way but it's an important step to see if it's a flaw of the setting or of the character

Thanks! Some time soon I'd love to talk more about them and my fantasies with them

In the end, it's still a label, which is why their inability to physically transition is very much an asset since it just means which pronouns I'd use.

For now, I've gotta pretend I'm not a degen for a bit. I might be back in a couple of hours or maybe tomorrow, I dunno.

I think it's less about just being japanese, but more about art not needing to cater to anyone. Many good traits in famous works came from the artists not giving a fuck and going with what they felt was the best like the EVA aesthetics coming from the author just thinking they were cool

I add more, I was a Naruto fan (nowdays i grow up and find the show/manga pretty mid but still okay) and when i was a teen i was a huge anime fan, that was when Crunchyroll was still a piracy site (the fucking Irony) and people made fun of my tastes, most friends thought it was weird or for weebs and shit and i was like "okay i still like it tho" but they were more interested in other popular shit.
Comes today world and most of then are into "anime", one of then even uses the """lessons""" Naruto bullshits his way out in my old-chuch circle and pretend like they were always fans because they watch popular shit like JJK and SNK and think they have better taste like FUCK YOU MAN I KNOW YOU, YOU ARE A POSER THAT ONLY LIKES THE LATEST SHIT

It makes me angry seeing these people ruin something i like so much because they are now being pandering to, fuck

Another example would be

To bei fair crunchyroll is still a pirate site, but rather than illegally sharing coporate data with people they now illegally share people's data to corporations
