Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Not sure if this is on-topic, but are there any good ace manga out there?

...Also maybe this is a bad time to jump into the conversation.

The Feelings We All Must Endure has a really good character whose too tired to gently caress but it's also The Feelings We All Must Endure

She’s very cool though. The closest thing to asexual representation I’ve seen in manga that still has the messy drama I like reading about. She’s not aromantic though if that’s what you’re looking for.

There’s a couple more manga I’ve read with asexual characters that briefly explore their sexuality but it’s never like the main focus.

I suppose I meant more like aromantic, yeah.

I suppose the very nature of it does lead to anti-drama though.

I dunno I think it could work.

But yeah I’m not too surprised I haven’t seen any manga about asexuality.

Using the word 'gimmick' may not have been the best idea. Also, the follow-up of "Sheesh, you goons are being overly sensitive" is kind of less-than-stellar?

Like yeah, there's a dedicated BL Thread (which you should check out, because Everything Burrito is like an artisan of rad recommendations), but that doesn't mean that stuff posted here won't show up there and vice versa. Also this and the Shoujo, Josei and Romance thread also tend to have a lot of the same regulars.

They were asking for manga with straight or bi trans women so I don't think the BL thread is going to be at all helpful here, unless "trans woman/cis man" pairings get filed as BL in which case what the gently caress

I don't have any recs off the top of my head, sadly.

Burrito is definitely the go-to for most of my BL reads. Only reason she doesn't post regularly in the thread is that she's not LGBT herself so she feels like filling it with her porn would not be in the best taste.

also wrt het trans stuff (hi im a trans girl engaged to a het dude) there's a lot of otokonoko stuff that's pretty close, yuureitou ends up fitting the bill, and Mikiyo Tsuda has a manga with a intersex individual who transitions to a lady and ends up dating a guy, the name of which I can't remember and Wikipedia isn't helping. It's followed up with both the characters appearing in Princess Princess which I highly recommend for anybody wanting cross-dressing gay dudes.

I think Wark was referring to this thread being referred to as Yuri only, and giving other places on the forum where you could get good recommendations for other stuff.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

??? I didn't -make- you misunderstand me. I'm sorry if you have some trauma in your past that causes you to react to things beyond what other people expect, believe me I get that whole-heartedly. And I'm sorry if it caused some pain for you. But I don't have control over your brain so ultimately how you respond to things is entirely under your own control.

Ultimately I was commenting on the lack of het trans stuff that I could find, and qualifying that with my own observations about this thread. That's it. Assuming 'gimmick' is a remark on you (in the broad sense here) is an overreaction, and honestly I have no idea what calling lesbian sexuality a 'gimmick' is supposed to mean, anyways. Could y'all please tell me where your minds are going there?

Recs would be nice, but people have asked in the past and nothing has really come of it, unfortunately :/

I TRIED TO BAIT THE TXPOL THREAD WITH THE WORLD'S WORST POSSIBLE TAKE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID AVATAR.

Xun posted:

ooo is this a "im sorry you're offended" non apology in the wild?!

If you wish to interpret that way, that's your prerogative. Certainly not what I meant, but whatever. You do you. To me, intention is everything and if you believe differently thats just a philosophical difference; it's just the way I am. Y'all are admitting I didn't mean anything by it anyways so demanding an additional apology seems a bit egotistical to me, but again that's just my interpretation. I have apologized for it, and again, I will take responsibility for what I do, not what you (the general you) do.

skaianDestiny posted:

You do know what gimmick means right? And how it's usually applied in a derogatory fashion?

Like for fucks sake is it really so hard to say "I'm sorry I used the wrong word, I didn't mean that" instead of loving doubling down and making a "no, you should be sorry for misinterpreting my words" nothing of an "apology"?

I don't feel like sharing any of the het trans stories I know because of how you're reacting to all this.

And certainly it's kinda funny that people are resorting to citing one particular meaning of gimmick as if its the only meaning and the end all be all, and ignoring the fact that I was using an informal (if apparently incorrect) definition for it. I have certainly never seen it used in a derogatory fashion which is why I was asking about it! I did in fact apologize for using the word, and I'm certainly not asking for an apology from anyone, so chill out and quit hyperbolizing. And tbh im laughing at the whole "I'm going to withhold the stories I know because of how you're reacting". Oh no! :jerkbag:

And wark, I already follow the BL and shoujo threads; I even mentioned burrito's wonderful thread (And yes, it doesn't get nearly enough love) :) Also look, I'm not looking for a fight here, nor am I trying to insult everyone but insulting me isn't a good look, and I admit I'm getting defensive here. And people are being over-sensitive. They took what I said out of context and reacted to what they were -imagining- I was saying, rather than ask me what I meant behind my choice of words. It takes two to tango, so acting like their actions are immaterial is what I mean by egotistical.

Cuntellectual posted:

I don't think intent entirely matters, like how would you feel if someone asked if there were any good tranny manga?

:sigh: Contrary to what you say it does! If they used that word to hurt then gently caress them but if it was out of ignorance then so long as they understand what the problem was and change their behavior that's perfectly fine to me.



Here's my final bit: I am sorry people felt hurt, but I definitely didn't intend it to nor do I still understand how people got offended. Again, like I said I was saying the threads gimmick (as in what it is about) is more on the yuri side of thing, which is no problem at all; I love most of the stories posted here (the hornier stories aren't really my jam). Parsing that as saying lesbians are gimmicks is very very :psyduck:, and while I'm pretty sure it isn't really the case it kinda makes me think people are looking for things to get mad at. I don't understand it, but I don't understand people in general so its a wash lol.

If you want to respond, please pm me, we've all poo poo up this thread enough as it is.

Anyways I'm gonna go play some FF14 so peace y'all :)
