    We had a major win today

    This thread is uncomfortably political. Can a mod lock it for us before we devolve into the claustrophobic pets of a cat hoarder?

    What do you think about Inc*st?

    I have little attachment to incest, besides puzzlement for why people shun and/or fetishize it. It doesn't seem much different then 'culturally normative' relationships to me. However, some incest themed stories/anime make me uncomfortable, because I get the sense the writer(s) have someone very...

    If you were forced to read an incest story, which would you rather?

    So long as all subjects involved are independent, consenting adults, I do think it is fine. Certainly achieving consent is far more difficult between parent and child (because few people are ever sufficiently independent from their parents, and consent can not be given between people with...

    Pirates are gay?

    Not all pirates were gay, but most of the lady pirates were lesbians (a statement that is mostly wishful thinking on my part, but there actually were quite a lot of female exclusive pirate crews, a consequence of how European women had extremely few opportunities for career advancement in...

    What are the natural dignities of man?

    If any human had natural dignity, they would not need clothing.

    What's your opinion on an MC that betrays their comrades?

    on a fictional story. Even if its a milder sort of cowardice I am not offended. My country of residence if big on freedom, which usually means the same thing as 'you can run away if you like'. You would have to get a terribly underwhelming object of fear for me to be offended by cowardice, and...

    If you were forced to read an incest story, which would you rather?

    I don't even think incest should be considered bad. So long as you aren't having a kid with someone sharing more than roughly 15% of your DNA, there is no increased risk of physical harm, and there is never any social harm outside the context of breaking societal taboos either. Incest is no...

    Pushing the definition of Tea.

    Petals are modified leaves, so it counts?

    What's your opinion on an MC that betrays their comrades?

    Depends on why. I don't mind a coward who abandons his friends to die in a fight they could have won together. Characters who betray their friends out of greed, envy, or in single minded pursuit of an otherwise noble goal; these ones I can't abide.

    What would you do if you had to take care of a dying child

    What's wrong with y'all? It's normal to provide care for kids.

    Which Trope Are You Most Tired of Seeing?

    I am kinda sick of the lucky pervert trope. How many times does a male lead need to trip over nothing and in defiance of all logic somehow end up stripping his love interest on the way down before everyone realizes he's just a molester? On a different note, I actually like the 'evil humans'...

    Life

    Its your own choice to live in dedication to someone or something else, and that choice gives your own life meaning.

    How Do You Cope with Bad Days?

    Air conditioning. On bad days, it can even reach 30C around where I live.

    Why We Breathe Oxygen?

    Not all organisms breath oxygen though (although aquatic animals actually do breath the oxygen in water and not water itself). Plants breath sunlight (and eat carbon dioxide), while a variety of bacteria breath exotic substances like sulphate (SO4--), hexvalent uranium (UO2++), ferric iron...

    Reply to this thread and if I don’t answer within two days I’m dead

    Is this a cursed chain letter? Those certainly were popular a decade or two ago.

    Help help what do I do???

    Cross your arms and pout, then watch the phone fall off your shoulder when your parents place it there. You need not speak a single word.

    Most interesting person

    Based on looks, his sole defining feature is that he wears a black hoodie. What an incredibly forgettable face indeed.

    Why do you think JP novel authors always write inconsistent beta-characters? Especially fantasies

    Yeah that, is a problem. But I don't see it as particularly prominant one, having dropped nearly a dozen stories for having rapist protagonists, compared to only two or three for having child molester protagonists. It may be in part an artifact stemming from how more ero gets translated than...

    Why do you think JP novel authors always write inconsistent beta-characters? Especially fantasies

    Because mild mannered protagonists are more likeable? About the bowing in particular though, a bow is like a handshake in Japan. Everyone bows to each other without thinking anything of it. The different kinds of bows basically could count as their own language. For a Japanese, talking without...
