What’s that from?
Also I bet he Calvin wa ain’t ended to be a dude but they decided to switch it at the end for a cheap gag.
The writing in this was never phenomenal but god damn it’s been going down hill for a while.

I don’t remember her rejecting him. I just remember her saying she wanted to enjoy her tile with the club and not have a relationship atm, but the way she behaves makes it seem as if she likes him.
@Morsealworth
I mean that’s as obvious as her scarred face. Look at how she behaves and how people talk about her, especially when she’s round the duke’s brother who she likes.
@Junpaku
Explain how I’m being obtuse. You said it was crafted as a word to attack people. I am saying it is just a word that was co-opted as an insult by people, like moron, idiot, stupid etc. Explain how it is any different?
If you are saying deriving a word from another word is crafting then...
@Junpaku Yes and retarded is a derivative of mental retardation. Just like moronic is a derivative of moron. So to say retarded was crafted to attack people is wrong imho, it's just people making use of an existing word to insult people.
@Junpaku
What do you mean crafted. Retarded is a word that was used by doctors as an official diagnosis. Much like stupid, idiot, moron etc.
Like the other dude said the only reason people are sensitive to it is because it’s still a recent word. It much like the rest will eventually become a...
@reu
Fair enough, but that doesn’t make it any better. You can find out why something happened and what led to an outcome without accepting what happened. Lots of serial killers had shitty childhoods, doesn’t make what they did any better.
@reu
She was a bad parent. Over-bearing and this prolly harmed her daughter, but that does not mean she deserves to die or that she is as bad as her daughter. The daughter is in the wrong here by far.

Is pedantic an insult?
Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise, especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.
Huh, guess it is an insult. It...
@Oeconomist
If you take being pedantic as being insulting, then that's your prerogative, but how you present yourself leads to me perceiving you as such.
You say objectively she was distinct, while I say that is just how you saw her. She was just like her brother/step-brother and his brother...
@Oeconomist
In your effort to be pendantic you are missing my point. You saw something distinctive about her. I did not. I did not find her exceptional, you did. That is all. You can try to phrase it however you want but she was boring to me.
@Oeconomist
Yuri's distinctiveness is something you saw, does not mean it was exceptional. Unlike the art which is something you can more objectively judge, her character is a matter of taste. To me she was bland to you she was exceptional. That's all there is to it.
As for the art, yes it is...
@Oeconomist
I am free to interject where I please. If I find the art isn’t that much worse then I am free to say it, just as you’re free to find it worse. Your opinion isn’t worth my more than mine.
As for Yuri bringing a “mental toolkit” you are free to see whatever you want to see, but I...
@Fari I said compelling cause that's the word you used. As for the baseline part, they aren't that different baseline. The only really different thing about her is that she practically worshipped the ground her brother walked on. The only freshness she has is that and being female. If the author...
@Oeconomist
How is the art worse and how is Yuri a better character than the current MC.
When the old series started Yuri was just as boring if not more so because all she did was chase after her brother treating him like he was perfect and infallible. She was obsessed with him. She later...
