It doesn't matter who makes it, just because a woman made it doesn't mean it's any better. I'm a woman and a lesbian, and I enjoy fanservice, and I wouldn't care if other people enjoyed fanservice as well if they weren't using the sexuality of the characters to claim their of a higher moral standing than other otaku. Especially when it's used to shadow fanservice of underage characters who get raped by bears, which is pretty gross imho. Effectronica posted:Okay, so what I'm getting from this is that you're a pedophile, but at least you're not one of those otaku. Interesting. I also wasn't referring to male-targeted fanservice, either. How am I pedophile? Are you even trying to participate in this conversation?

Reading this thread is like betting mauled by lesbian bears. Just watched it and I have no idea how much of that I should take literally. Watching this is like watching Utena for the first time, if I'd skipped straight to the last season. I'd like it more if I could figure out these characters. Two are bears, one hates bears, everyone is gay, fourth girl, three dudes live in a wall and do court cases. Neat! What??

You were the one who said you were no better than someone who Of course, the question of whether we are meant to treat, say, Utena Tenjou as a literal fourteen-year-old within the context of RGU is one that's thorny because of that sort of accusation, and also not exactly an easy one to answer given the cultural perceptions around high school in Japan.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Makes you think, don't it? People just assume the demographic for schoolgirl lesbians is "fat hairy virgins" but, for instance, the readership for Yuri Hime is 70% female and they serialize moe series like Yuru Yuri. I'm male so I just try to be open-minded about everything. If Akiko Morishima thinks portraying sexuality is an important part of fleshing out the relationship between two girls, I want to respect that. Then on the other hand you have mangaka like Aoki Ume, who writes her stories as "so subtext they could possibly be just friends". I think that is also yuri.

Supposedly, there's a hefty straight woman audience for yuri/Class S, which may explain a great deal of genre conceits.

I kinda wonder if Attack on Titan was in Ikuhara's brain when he was cooking this up. I mean, you've got a bizarre carnivorous threat to all human life, a wall that's pretty clearly part metaphor, infiltrators, violent death of the ostensible protagonist's loved one in the first episode... uh... a hunting rifle... ?

I haven't watched this show, only watched the opening, and I don't know what the gently caress is going on with this questionably aged, fog filtered, lesbian toe sucking bear behavior, but that song is pretty dope imo.

So taken at face value, the courtroom scene was basically just dudes arguing back and forth about maintaining balance between humans and bears before going 'lol jk you are bears it is totally cool if you eat humans because you are hungry', right?

That just gave me more questions. Like, why are bears holding a trial for whether or not bears can eat humans or not? Do they seriously conduct a trial every time a bear's stomach is empty, or...?

Arashi literally means storm but its used as a substitute for things like chaos, havoc and even trolling. The act of cutting the flowers and lobbing a brick at them definitely made me think of this bullying type of trolling prevalent now days. The court scene was weird in general but I think the most important part was when Sexy asked if the girls wanted to remain invisible or if they wanted to eat. Repress, hide whats inside of you or partake in what comes naturally. In contrast, in the walled city everyone seems to be gay but its extremely sterile, lacking any passion. Its a pragmatic sort of love where the girls are together as a form of defense against bears or simply because the girls like each others company.

I'd agree that this lacked the energy of Penguindrum's opening episode. The court scene was dull and difficult to understand at first glance. The final scene was interesting. 'I won't forgive those who destroy love' is probably the key line in conjunction with all the 'I will fight for love' stuff. Kureha was judged and survived (her love was approved) while the victim clearly failed and was eaten in a more literal sense. I'm suspicious of Sumika given she wandered off on her own even in a world where that's considered a fatal mistake. My guess would be that she was the one to cut the lilies in a rejection of their 'love' and she was judged because 'her love was not true'. Alternately there is a third party who is trying to destroy their love, which would better explain the brick being thrown. Or both, I guess. I'm also curious as to why Kureha seemed to believe the bears had promised to return Sumika, since I don't recall them ever saying anything like that. At most, she was told that her love would be approved, whatever that means. Either way I think it's clear that the bear attacks aren't random predation but are a form of judgement, though incidentally the bears definitely seem to enjoy eating people.
