GLORIOUSKINGKABRU's question page 4 (240)

Are there any stories, wherever they are books, mangas, myths or other medias, that actually impacted you, your life and/or your worldview?

I hope Mangago is safe and the takedown doesn't happen to this site too

I'm gonna miss people recommendations of shitty BLS i end up hating anyway now trump is going to play the hero with TikTok just wait

I'm bored af

Mine is definitely syringe attacks, a couple of years ago i heard this story of a girl who's ex attacked with a syringe filled with acid and I've been scared since

Like genuinely get that dick out your mouths. So many people on here act like such pick me's and hate to listen to any criticism about the constant colorism and orientalism in Korean stories, like wtf are these replys: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/19316905/

Like my og comment said many on here need to put down the porn and pick up a book and actually put your brains to work.

Every year around Christmas time i get a deeply heavy feeling of nostalgia, it makes me think about how much better my childhood was than my current life and to deal with that i rewatch old animes like Lady Oscar and mermaid melody (the Italian dub has the best songs fight me.)

For me it's these two: "You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure." By John Berger
And "Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate" by Bunny Burstow

Both of these are quotes i read when i was way younger and i think these are the reason i am so "woke" now, since then I've read a lot more feminist books who gave even more interesting analysis on gender and womanhood but these two are what started it all

Like an opinion you stood by, religion, ideal, or future idk

Sorry for the rant i just need to let this out lol.

I've just seen the news this story is going to get a live action and i'm straight up disgusted, if anyone wants to know why this story is banned from webtoon global for racism and that's not the only thing wrong with this story.

This is more of a me ick but the whole plot of the story is just "Beating children is actually okay and good" idc what stupid and over the top narrative the authors writes to make the ABUSE of children seem justified but that beliefs isn't going to help no one.

But wait there's more (literally copypasted from the comments under the story): "It seems like that arc was referencing a real news in Korea where a feminist teacher got exposed for enforcing female rights rules onto students' studies and received tremendous hate for it. The details coincides and the dates weren't too far off that incident. It wasn't a big deal until it was revealed that the whole thing was fabricated by male students to get her fired. The rules enforcement never happened and instead, male students spread that the teacher was feminist and radicals ended up bullying her into getting fired (you can check news on controversies about feminist teachers in korea, there was a #metoo movement back then, but Idt that relates to the webtoon). This in turn shone a bad light onto the author who used the topic to create a fictional scenario that painted feminist teachers into villains during a sensitive time. It didn't help that it was featured in the webtoon app after a female naver author was sexually harassed by a male naver author.(Man I was shocked at how many things was happening behind the scenes.)

It's similar to the racism incident where he referenced a specific korea district populated by black people and painted them as racists, calling them slurs when in actual fact the koreans were the ones discriminating against them." Good job Korean men for being the world biggest incels ig

This type of shit gets live actions but BLS and GLS (especially GLS) are snubbed??

Idk if it's really a trope but i hate these transmigration stories where the mc goes into a bl book and suddenly the ml of the book (a gay man) is no longer gay and actually it was all a misunderstanding yada yada yada, just make that nigga bisexual

Let's bury that transphobic asshole with some trans characters appreciation. My favorite is togata from fire punch although his story is quite sad he was the first trans man character ive ever seen in mangas

This game came out like a month ago and i already saw the worst ship art Anya x Jimmy...like that's her rapist

Some artists really don't know how to draw babies but honestly them ugly ass babies have a charm of their own

I already see people pointing and blaming others but if we're being fr.... Kamala had a shit campaign

It's pretty funny because i don't understand what made anyone think they would be canon...in shounen manga? I saw a grown woman actually cry over it like you guys know you can ship whatever tf you want even if its not canon

I hope what I'm saying makes sense but basically, individuals often hold extreme views and arguments regarding fujoshis. It is true that fujoshi "culture" and "tropes" exhibits significant homophobia, particularly among non-queer women who partake in it, and there is a notable presence of misogyny. Initially, this culture emerged as a means to avoid portraying women solely as victims within a patriarchal framework, but it has since transformed predominantly into a genre focused on gay 'dark romance.' Numerous posts have gone viral stating, 'I read yaoi because I enjoy seeing men suffer,' with that suffering often depicted as rape. When a gay man expresses discomfort, he is frequently met with hostility, with comments like, 'You're unattractive; we are not fetishizing you,' which is undeniably peculiar. However, many arguments against fujoshis are steeped in misogyny, making it challenging to engage in constructive dialogue when both perspective views yaoi. It's unlikely to have any good conversation when the two opposing views are 'Fujoshis are innocent beings who never hurt anyone and are pure angels' and 'Fujoshis are malevolent entities sent by Satan.'

Sorry for the yap session and the over argued topic of Fujoshis and yaoi.

I'm guessing a lot of y'all are artists, i wonder if anyone here as a comic they want to promote or just share. I've been on neocities and I'm seeing so many amateur comics that are so good but underrated ☹
