Um... What are you even doing rn m8? 👋😅
I wasn't even talking to you.

Fr this behavior is actually REALLY bizarre.
I don't get how it got so common.

It makes no more sense than walking up to a random table at a restaurant,
pointing at a stranger's food, and saying
"Too yucky, not eating" and just walking away. Like, why?

There's two things about that concept that make the belief problematic.

1st is that it really can't be proven.
Someone would have to admit to it.
The intended end result of it can happen as natural chain of events.
Whatever could be presented as evidence would also qualify as just good treatment.

2nd is that it also can't be disproven.
The belief that it's happening can't even really be contradicted.
Not by any means short of severing contact entirely.
That would be an unreasonable expectation in most contexts.

I genuinely doubt it happens very much.

Just forget about morality for a minute and think about practicality alone.
It's just a really ineffective plan from the ground up. It probably wouldn't work.
If it's so important to someone that their partners be barely adults,
why not just START with someone that's barely an adult?

Why invest years of time into something that probably isn't gonna happen?
Why be so subtle and indirect and meticulous?
Why not just lay the cards on the table from the start
with someone who can give you an answer right away?

It's not like it's all that weird of a thing to like young adults.
If they're gonna go for it as soon as it's not illegal anyway,
they're not bypassing any stigma. If anything it's worse to know them first.
I think most people who want 18 year olds would just approach 18 year olds.

The concept of grooming is dumb. The people who do it are even dumber xD

i'm only one dood, but usually dry ✌

Lubed feels a little better, but you need to rinse it off after with water, which is inconvenient.

Plus once we got a lot going on in life, temporary interruptions are common.

I might need to stop and do something that can't be done with one slippery hand but only takes a minute.

It sucks to wash the lubed hand then lube again and then wash again after.

Lastly, the lube costs moneys and i'm a broke bitch. Like i do got it, but that's not the best way to use it.

At first I was like
"Omg i'm caught up for the first time in like 6 months!"

Then .01 seconds later I was like
"Oh wait. This isn't work. It's fun. Being done is bad 😅"

H*ck fuckin' yeah she did! Magnificent! Mwah! 😘🤌

I myself have been very fortunate when it comes to avoiding jealous/posessive girls (like even at his age, they all kept their behavior chill even when they weren't feelin' chill) but I believe that's uncommon. I think most people end up running into that problem. That sucks.

Fr tho! Dude's more versatile than I knew 👏

I'd wear that too! Not just to a party either. I'd wear it for grocery shopping! 😎

It's also always nice to meet someone who can appreciate fanservice devoid of context 🥰🤝

So many people say "That's not relevant to the plot" but it's like, not everything in life has to have some kinda tie to something else in order to be valid. It's okay to make something that's just plain pleasant 🙂🤙

I like a soda with my chicken noodle soup, but I can also just have a soda whenever/wherever xD If someone offers me a drink while I'm not eating food, I'm not gonna be like "Wtf's that got to do with anything??? 🤨"

C'mon meow people, we ALL a buncha thirsty MFs. Both literally and figuratively.
This charade is exhausting. Let's all just chill tf out 'n sip!

Matter 'a fact, I'm pouring. Whatchoo want??? xD

No, friend. Homophobia's not normal 🙄 Not anymore. It was originally semi-valid, but it's obsolete now.

Homophobia is a manifestation of ancestral knowledge. It's how information used to be passed down through generations before written language. People don't know it, but this is what they're referring to when they say thinga like "trust your gut" and "listen to your heart".

Even after written language, it took time to adapt to being able to store complex information. We're actually still not adapted. A lot of our ancestral knowledge is working against us, because society and technology progress faster than brains evolve. It's outdated. From another world.

Back before written language, if you couldn't remember something on the spot in full detail unaided, you didn't know it at all. Out of necessity, people resorted to subconsciously storing everything in very vague categories and thinking in very simple ways.

When the world was a lot less populous, medical care was worse, genetic diversity was less strong, and life expectancy was trash, humanity was facing a different set of problems. Being that much closer to extinction made reproduction a much higher priority.

Homophobia is an implicit understanding that for every gay couple that doesn't make any kids, a straight couple needs to compensate for it. When we didn't have 8 billion people and more orphans than anyone will care for, that WAS a big deal.

It was dangerously counterproductive in that context. That's why the suffix is phobia even though nowadays it's just bigotry. It was originally based on genuine fear for the collective wellbeing of humanity.

That world is gone. Has been for a long time. That worldview needs to be gone too.
In this world, we don't need more kids.
We need to take better care of the ones we already have.
Then maybe they can build something better than this.

Better than a world where adversity is glorified, so people with comfortable lives decide to import hypothetical problems so they can feel like they're fighting something.
They treat non-existent things as actual problems.
They do it because their desire to fight is greater than their desire to love. What a mess.

Say what you want about me and my little anime girls, because at least THAT is theoretically potentially counterproductive in THIS world - but there is NO valid critcism to made against gay people. Not anymore.

Nothing wrong with looking (looking is different from staring. If it's for long enough that they notice you, that's staring. Unless you're just incredibly unlucky and they noticed when your eyes were barely there.)

Girls don't care if you look. What he did wrong was mentioning it. If everyone could just be chill about it and do nothing but look (not stare. Not mention it. Not take pics. Etc) you'd be seeing WAY sexier outfits. Like, all the time. Most of them really wanna do it. What stops them is they don't feel safe.

And yes, I have seen examples of these healthy environments in person. It genuinely DOES work that way. I've been to events where it was established beforehand basically "You can see hot sexy girls in skimpy outfits the whole time, on the condition that you don't do anything to make them uncomfortable. One whistle or comment or photo and you're kicked out."

It was always awesome. The girls were comfortable because they weren't being treated differently, and they got an example that not all guys are gonna act like animals just because something sexy's happening. Everyone had fun and it cultivated unity. It was just socializing plus sexy. The whole world could be like that.

If you like something, behave in a way that doesn't discourage it. If anyone tells me they don't like miniskirts and panties then they're so fake that interacting with someone as real as I am isn't gonna be good for them. We have nothing to discuss 👋😅

Be mindful that a person doesn't need to interact with you in order to know you.

A lot of the guys who say "These girls treat me like I'm gross when they don't even know me" have been overheard saying very dark/alarming things, like sexist stuff or condoning / joking about r-wording girls.

That's not the kind of thing people keep to themselves. And it shouldn't be. People do protect each other. If *one* well-intentioned girl sees a guy showing telltale signs of being a ticking time bomb predator, she's gonna make sure he doesn't get anyone alone.

One time saying something bad enough, and he's basically blacklisted from local dating. He's gonna think everyone's just a prude since they said "no" before he did anything bad, like he's being turned down because of his looks or economic status, but that's not what's up. They already know his intentions. The not gonna wait for it to happen.

Obviously you have no reason to be offended if this isn't you, (neither does anyone else. Any dissenters are outing themselves) so I'm not worried about causing problems. I'm just raising awareness that the world isn't so simple, and we are not limited to the knowledge of our own firsthand experiences. You can learn from others.

I know, right!?!? 🤣 With the exception of Itachi, this manga uses the word "fuck," pretty sparingly, but when it does, it's always well placed!

Pffft! xD This might be the most amusing context I've ever seen an f-slur used 🤭

Thank you for that 👏🤣

And "reddit spacing"!!! 😆

You found someone simping for elementary school kids and you play the "Your typing habits are off-putting" card xD

I'm a lolicon, my dude. My metaphorical "skin" is more like armor at this point. You shot a spitball at a mountain xD Lolicon is a gender-specific word, BT-dubs.

I'm sorry ❤🙏 I really shouldn't be laughing. Seeing homophobia so intense that you'll overlook what most people view (inaccurately) as a safety concern is definitely not funny.

You're gonna see openly gay men in person, but you're not gonna see self-indentifying lolicons in person. Other people are more at risk than me. So tell me...

Did my use of mildly progressive language really bother you more than the rest of it? I'm genuinely interested in why if you're willing to share. I'm the farthest thing from offended. It's curious 🤔

I also didn't know that was a retro thing 🤔 I'm more upset than I logically should be, considering I'm probably never gonna get to go to Japan 😆

Ik they're kinda skimpy, so I guess it's best that they're not mandatory. Some people are really self conscious, and that's valid. I hope people who wanna wear 'em are free to though.

I went to school in the US, and I had some complaints, but my school's dress code sitch was more chill than what I've heard of from other people. I think I got pretty lucky.

I coulda *sworn* I replied to you awhile back, and I remember it being funny. But you didn't have any updoots and I'm sure I would've.

Also on some platforms I'd consider the possibility it got deleted, but there's like no moderation here. No support or contact buttons anywhere at all. Interesting 🤔

Samesies! :3 I know some would say it's a pretty basic harem plot, but I really love this story and these characters.

And I know it's a lot of chapters. I expect someone with that skill would want some variation in practice to be well rounded, so maybe do shorter stories so they can experience more characters.

I'd very reluctantly respect that decision since they're doing god's work, but I'd be really sad about it. In my experience, even if another scanlation team picks it up, they may make very off-putting changes.

Like drastically changing the certain characters talk after their unique charm has been established with me and really sunk in. They'll have totally different mannerisms and expressions but look the same, and I know it's the same source material.

So I'm like bro what does it actually say??? We went from Elizabethan shit like in Shakespeare to some kinda Neanderthal cave person stuff and now my internal voice sounds like a scrappy Scottish person.

There's no wrong answers, that stuff can all work, but it's all one character. If they're not like, possessed or havin' multiple personalities or somethin' then stahp! xD But at the same time ik if I was the scanlator I'd do everything my own way, so 🤷

Part 2 of 2. This is all one comment. I'm just working around the character limit. If you stop after the first one, you're not gonna understand.

I hope someday you'll see that all people are fundamentally the same. Everyoneryone wants comfort. What complicates things is comfort comes in different forms to different people. When someone isn't getting the comfort they want, they are understandably bitter about comfort coming to others.

I was born wanting the most stigmatized comfort in the world. I stand among the most unanimously hated and ruthlessly persecuted minority in the world. But I am kind, because I am comfortable. The harmless alternative is adequate. Problem solved.

That's why I'm able to consistently do nothing but help everyone I meet, no matter how cruel they are. That's why nothing you can say will make me condemn you.

Because everyone I meet is fighting a battle I know nothing about. I can't see yours.

No matter what anyone's been through, no matter how badly they've been treated, no matter how unfair the reasons, and no matter how much wisdom they gained - their heart's eye still has a blind spot for me. They're not bad people. Bad people don't exist. They're uncomfortable.
I have my comfort. They dont have theirs. Thats not fair.

I want this to stop. I want everyone to be comfortable as I am.
When people feel good, they'll be good.

That's why I am good. My behavior isn't born of glowing radiant purity, but of disgusting degenerate filth. Still good.

If you need to believe I'm bad in order for you to feel good, I'm comfortable with that.
I will be your monster so you can feel less monstrous. 💞

But when you have the wisdom to see the world for what it is-
That we're all on the same team, and always have been-
When you have the strength to do more than just survive-
Carry your team.

May your roads lead to warm sands ✌🐱

IF you are a genuine protector, and if your TRUE goal is the safety of the innocent, this comment will be valuable to you ❤✌ Its gonna need to be in two parts. This is a deep topic, and there's a character limit.

I live in a world where people hate and kill each other over inherent traits, the circumstances of their births. Race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. I don't covet normality on principle. Being regarded as an outsider in a world where that happens so much is really not such a bad thing. Saying I'm not normal bounces right off.

I live in a world where people respect those who are born into favorable circumstances more than those who live virtuously in unfavorable ones. Which is more significant? A person not doing anything bad because they don't want to do anything bad? Or choosing not to even though they do want to?

I expect you call me a sick pervert because you were born with less problematic attractions. Are you proud to simply be existing in your natural state? Do you praise a fish for swimming? It takes no discipline to behave when you have no desire to misbehave.

The most significant difference between us is you are privileged. Just like being born into money, it's not shameful. That advantage is your birthright and it's yours to utilize. Your success is still your own. I am disadvantaged. In the same way, this is not my fault, but it is my responsibility.

That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. Only drawings. I won't tell you not to worry about lolicons. We both know the harm it can lead to. But the only thing in the world that's truly wrong is harm. This art is not harm.

A lolicon dissenter condemning this art is akin to an anti-tobacco activist condemning vaping, or an animal rights activist condemning meat substitutes. Treating their most powerful ally as their 2nd worst enemy.

(To anyone viewing the recent comment section, content warning. NSFW Loli. This is intended to be for the readers of this specific manga to ponder, and they wouldn't be here if they weren't comfortable with it, but I tend to attract attention from people who are viewing the comment that way. You can be hateful, but I choose to be kind ❤✌🙂 This CW is a courtesy to protect your comfort, but I won't go so far as to abstain from making the comment. The comment section is provided for a reason.)
So to any who think the MC made an unethical choice, consider the alternative. That was a skinny little 10 year-old girl and at least a 3 meter vertical drop onto concrete. She may not have died, but she would've landed on her tailbone. That has paralyzed people who were trying to sit on a chair from a standing start when someone pulled it out from under them.

No, he didn't have to look up. He could've just stood directly under her with his eyes closed so she would most likely fall onto him. Even if he'd been standing straight up, it still would've been better than her hitting the ground. But he didn't know that she was gonna fall directly downward. She was holding onto a pipe, there was also a wall her legs could reach, and she was scared. Her movement could've changed the trajectory and she could've still hit the concrete.

You can choose to view this as being "defensive", but I'm not sure what you think I'm defending 🙄 Defense is for mitigating risk, and I am not at risk. I want people to know there are more tragic things in this world than perversion. Getting put in a wheelchair at age 10 is one of them. If you can't acknowledge that as a truth, you don't even know what morality IS.

Morality exists to protect wellbeing. Not to be used as a smokescreen for hatred. If you care about victims, understand that a paid protector standing aside and letting a vulnerable person be maimed would have been closer to victimization than this was. A perverted disgusting degenerate savior is still a savior. How much bad is that, and how much good? Weigh it. ☝

Sorry I didn't respond to you! I got too distracted by tryna beat the Githyanki fan allegations xD

I know it's been ten months, but I was just cracking up over the conversations and showing them to my wifey and bestie for resties, so I saw yours.

Judging by your interest in this manga I can recommend a few! If you don't mind fanservice and some controversial content, Mahou Sensei Negima and the spinoffs are peak. The content's not dark or gory or anything, it's just a lot of the characters aren't adults. That's a big deal to some people.

The MC doesn't become a fighter right away, for awhile he's just a mage, but it gets really amazeballs, especially the main series. It's almost slice of life at the beginning, but it does basically a whole-ass genre shift as it goes, basically going a lot more action and fantasy with less focus on the harem aspect.

I'm kinda hoping he doesn't. When he's ALONE, or with just other people, the guy's a douchebanana with two butt ends 🤨 But when he's with the MC he's very funny 🤣

Plus there's been enough mention of events to come that I think (hope) this is gonna be a long story. Not that the author would be painting themselves into a corner by killing off the main antagonist or making him become good. A new one could be introduced without any foreshadowing. Dragonball did plenty of that and it was poggers to the max.

Ohhh, just a goddamn misunderstanding that they've misinterpreted as a disagreement 🙄

We're laughing at them, but people are the same IRL. Like 100% of the conflicts I see IRL. 😤

Inefficient organization/transfer of information is the BBEG IRL.

Everyone wants the same thing, and everyone dislikes the same thing. Our perceived differences are mostly cosmetic. Comfort is good. Discomfort is bad.

What we gotta do is understand these things come in different forms to different people, and that none of our wants are as contradictory to each other as they seem.

There's enough of everything for everyone. If we just fuckin' think - we can all win.

But we don't think. We just fight. 100% friendly fire for hundreds of thousands of years.

ALL on the same team.

Only team in the league.

Still losing.
