Rec'ing this old(?) oneshot I just learned about, The Fourth Heroine. https://mangakakalot.com/chapter/db917621/chapter_1 quote:A character intended for a gritty war story mistakenly ends up in a harem comedy manga as the fourth would-be love interest (hence the title), and has no interest in going along with fan service shenanigans or letting herself get "accidentally" groped and just refuses to participate (by doing common sense things like locking the door when the girls are changing or stepping out of the way when the protagonist trips and falls hands-first straight towards her chest). This eventually inspires the third heroine to realize just how much she also dislikes being forced to subject herself to it and how unappealing the protagonist actually is. Nice little meta thing. You might be able to tell why I'm rec'ing it here. Warning for typical ecchi harem comedy sexual harassment stuff like groping n poo poo.

God all I can think about is how people are loving so spoiled. A woman pushing another woman against a wall and saying "man or woman" would've been anathema 20 years ago and one of them would have been required to be a villain or die on screen because gay people aren't allowed to be happy.

Snooze Cruise posted:like when i read poo poo like that part of me thinks "do you actually like gay people?" I'm loving gay what the gently caress I get your point and part of it is that I'm tired of people acting like two characters of the same gender having the same exact same sort of scenes a heterosexual couple would have doesn't mean its gay rep unless they plaster every single sign and advertisement with THESE GIRLS ARE GAY AND THEY gently caress BECAUSE THEY'RE LESBIANS. It's hyperbole, sure, but we're also at the point where people are reducing media about queer experiences, the problems minorities face, etc. to "can I ship two people of the same gender together" and only engaging with that aspect, not any of the other very important bits. Like I dunno, only caring about Grave of the Fireflies because one of the dudes is hot and never engaging with the other aspects. Yes I know at the same time people and corporations and all the other fucks being cowardly about "are these two people gay and in love" by hemming and hawing and all that bullshit because they know a good portion of their fanbase ship 2 people of the same gender together and they don't want to lose their money and viewership but also don't want "ew loving gay people" explicitly on their show but people also seem to think that if a couple doesn't loudly proclaim that they're gay and together it doesn't count as rep. Queerbaiting is different from not confirming a queer couple. Queerbaiting is the intentional strategy to imply there's hope for a canon gay ship when it was never intended. Queerbaiting is what shows like Supernatural do when the writer interviews go "maybe those two guys might possibly have a chance at maybe having romantic attraction to each other" and then lmao the series finale. Queerbaiting is not "two characters have many deeply and romantically charged scenes and one where one of the characters explicitly asks the other if they like the same gender and have that be implicitly positively answered in a follow up scene, but they don't take an entire episode to gently caress on screen". Korra showing two women holding hands and looking at each other framed in the exact same way the big romantic climax of the previous show on a loving kids show was loving huge. If that was shown today and treated as big it would be derided as cowardly, and you know what, they'd be right! We're past the point of implying a romantic relationship only by handholding. This was also only seven years ago. Reducing queer creators' efforts to get queer rep on their shows by fighting tooth and nail and risking their livelihoods just so they can get a single kiss at the end of the series as "not enough" is deeply insulting, and yes, I feel speaks from an entitled viewpoint. I can't speak at all for Arcane because I haven't watched it or if any of the production crew are queer, but from what I've seen and read of it how Caitlyn and Vi are depicted would have been unthinkable not even half a decade ago. I could be wrong, I don't know. I don't really know what my point is. Girls are really cool

That's true. I could've used a different word for that.

I second the Troubleshooters rec. If you like XCOM and messing with abilities and comboing things together in that, then you'd love Troubleshooters and its mastery system. Also yes its p gay

ToxicFrog posted:Is it actually a complete game? The fact that the description leads with "the first season" makes me worried. It's got a complete storyline and you get just as much gameplay time out of it as a mainline XCOM game.

It's a western-made web story but its adjacent to manga/anime stuff sooo https://www.scribblehub.com/series/443703/the-harem-protagonist-was-turned-into-a-girl-and-doesnt-want-to-change-back/ Dropping a rec for this. The Harem Protagonist Was Turned Into A Girl!! And Doesn’t Want To Change Back!!!?? title is basically self-explanatory lol. Story is focused on the MC figuring out transgender stuff and the harem coming to terms with their object of affection being a girl. You're kinda dropped in media res with all the harem stuff but they're all given a good amount of personality and details about them are revealed over the course of the story. Some quotes: quote:“Y—you’re wearing a dress?” quote:Andrew blinked, as Kevin smiled to herself. That title sounded so good. ‘Galactic Emperor’ made her think of a wrinkly old man, but, ‘Galactic Empress’… now that was a title that could fit a woman who was young and attractive and full of life. quote:The buzzing of her alarm drew Vivian Wong out of bed, crawling across her small bedroom to shut her phone off. The clock said 5:00 am, as expected. An hour that gave her plenty of time to get ready for work. It gave her time for something else important, though. As the only member of the mess around Kevin who worked days, she usually needed a bit of time to digest whatever chaos had happened the night before. quote:“You may be right, but, still: what happened to ‘bros before ho—you knows’,” Andrew said, cowing a little under Kevin’s glare for the final part. quote:“Wait. Did you seriously change your twumbler handle to ‘Cartridge ‘G-Cups’ McIntyre’?” Svetlana asked. skaianDestiny fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Mar 26, 2022 |

The "I'm actually a boy teehee" "joke" only happened like 3 times in her story in XX, and only once is responded to with anything other than basically "oh ok". Most of her plot involved bounty hunter shenanigans after I-No gave her a faulty bounty list. Not that I'm trying to defend it. Trans girl Bridget is the loving best and I'm loving all these chuds losing their goddamn minds over it. Although due to the weirdness of her backstory Bridget's technically cisgender. :P All hail the most cisgender trans girl in video games.

Endorph posted:that otherside picnic guy interview sucks rear end I mean the important context that people miss when meme'ing the quote/interview is that the actual series has the girls kiss and also gently caress. It's not like they're doing some chaste deniable subtext poo poo those girls are textually in love and also together and also had sex.

Endorph posted:drat that guy made the first thing ever to have that happen i guess i cant say hes kind of stupid and that jokign about how any scene without a guy in it is voyeuristic and about which vtubers he wants to gently caress is kind of creepy Fuckloads of people make jokes or otherwise about wanting to gently caress celebrities or vtubers too so I guess it's just more creepy in the context of an interview?
