it's funny to me how tumblr of all PLACES are the only one where you can meaningful queer analysis of mahoako of all things.

yes, on fucking tumblr.

legit that site seems the only place that embraces mahoako & see the series on postivies outlook, twitter would never

if people want more coomer game to be made, you guys should support niche mid-small budget ecchi otaku games instead clinging to big mainstream JRPG dev that was backed by big publisher.

I think you shouldn't put too much stock on ecchi stuff on japanese console games these days.

Like, CERO has been getting more anal about depiction of violence & sexuality. on top overseas platform is just pretty unfair to JP games most of the time. manga, gacha & anime is unironically a place where ecchi can thriving rn.

it's fucking suck now gacha are the only gaming medium where we get most anime coomer stuff. truly tragedy.

sorry I am gacha/soshage hater lol

Found this post about CERO

And people still don't believe me when I said CERO is more Draconian lol. People are too culture war-brained & think all evil censorship is from west, while Japan has actual censorship that's mandated by fucking law. Even their goddamn porn media were still fucking censored.

Btw CERO just recently banned panty shots or camera angle that show panties for teen rated games cmiiw. It's why most jrpg girls nowadays wear spats.

I feel like Ishihara era seems to be the catalysts that CERO become stricter, puritan and demanding. Just my opinion.

People who think it bcus le evil woke forcing CERO are fucking idiot because even before culture war become big they've been getting stricter. Like i remember seeing a couple of JP devs complain about CERO strictness about violence/sexuality depictions in the 2010s.

They're just getting bolder in the 2020s now.

Like CERO brand of puritanism doesn't feel like puritan wokies but more of typical conservative Japanese boomers who despise otakus & sex in media.

Anyway, fuck rating boards, they're true Agent of Censorships.

I saw a post about how people shouldn't trust youtuber review on game too much & I am fucking agree, especially on this post

it is just like what happen to FE Engage. A lot of youtubers act like that games kill the whole franchise & the worst shit ever created. Then you play the game, it's good & fun. Sure, it's very flawed & story is mediocre, but it's not fucking bad like what youtuber screaming. Also, Engage has better replayability compared to 3H & the story doesn't make me mad because of 3H horrendeus pacing.

I need more podcasts about people talk about Japanese game that genuinely appreciate them & it's anime trope.

It's just annoying how most games podcast I listen always being Weird about jrpg or having ''toned down'' Phil Fish-tier opinion.

''this jrpg is good because there's no cringey anime trope'' shut the fuck up!

I never trust people opinion on JRPGs or japanese games if they tried to dismiss anime/otaku trope. fuck that shit.

So saw this post about idiot execs, making a ''survey'' that game devs (read: AAA devs) wanted to know what teen what and according to their survey 75% teen don't want a romance game and want more friendships (lol).

Absolute baffling, Even if it's that true, how come their conclusion is to NOT include romance options to not alienate the remaining 25% audiences??

Surely that survey is legit & valid, not some execs making up shit.

I swear exec are truly braindead.

Romance & Friendship element in the game can fucking coexist, most Japanese games are fucking doing it.

With how dogshit current social media climate are.

Normalize writing your intrusive thoughts or /any/ controversial opinion on blogging site.

Please I beg you make a blog, make dreamwidth/bearblog/neocities.

Those sites are ''semi'' dead w/ no shitty algorithm -that put your posts outside your circle/audiences who will mad/ratio/dogpile your post because they don't fucking get your sense of humor/personality-, nobody will mad seeing your idiot takes there.

At worst, if someone disagrees with your post they probably leave a shit comment, but, the chances of getting dogpiled a la Twitter are low.

You’re basically screaming into the void & some people do ''listen'' to your screaming, but they don't give a fuck!

Blogging or journaling also helps to articulate your thoughts, forming your opinion coherently, and regulate your emotion better.

tl;dr start blogging NOW

legit, after I finally go back to blogging (I made 2–3 blogs for different purposes) it does help me a lot & feels therapeutic.

I can express myself better w/o the baggage of horde people that's outside my circle dogpiling me because they're not my fucking audience/mutuals who know me.

So far, I recommend dreamwidth if you miss old-school livejournal-style blog!

It has a lot of feature that make it easier for people to interact w/ you. Also, some socmed-like feature w/ customizing ur layout, icon, tag, etc.

Bearblog is also a good alternative if you want more ''secluded'' vibe, also has very simple & minimalistic design. Basically, if you're just there for ''pure'' blogging reasons.

I haven't used it, but according to my friends it much better alternative compared to neocities. Don't use wordpress/blogspot/ big corpo hosted site because they will feed your content to AI or sell your data.

Since i’m always rambling about this stuff on both my Tumblr and private account. It’s honestly a mess, and I’ve been contemplating whether or not to write this because, frankly, I don’t want to invite more discourse. But after giving it some thought, I decided I wanted to write it, as I feel that by doing so, I can better articulate my thoughts on this subject. I’m definitely not the only one who feels this way. Without further ado, let’s dive into the topic.

If you’re active on Twitter, you’re probably familiar with the discourse surrounding anti-fujoshi sentiment and fangirls who love male characters/husbandos (I’ll refer to them as Yumejoshi for convenience). This discourse often emphasizes that both Fujos and Yumes exhibit internalized misogyny because they ‘favor’ or center their interests around fictional male characters.
