Note: still scared to tell their son.
He’ll figure it out someday, but institutional homophobia suuuuucks.
He could lose his job so he can’t tell his stepson that he’s his stepdad.
Fuck.

That’s the impression I’ve gotten as well.
Last time I was in Japan a bi friend and I (who, at the time thought I was pan. Nope. Girls. Super 100% gay) were in nichoume and she told me not to tell anyone for that reason.
I just didn’t know they’d call you straight... but the term for...
Our 8yo is 5’ tall and can lift me, briefly. We have to tell her to not lift her stepmom so she doesn’t hurt her growing bones.
I hate that distance learning means she hasn’t really made new friends, but at least she won’t be teased for looking 12.
That bit hits home.
All that said, the...
Actual bi-identifying character in BL! Super rare.
He got asked out by a guy, but thought the guy might have been straight...
I can’t tell if that’s just BL logic or what?
I get being scared if you do know someone has been only been in hetero relationships before. That was an anxiety when my...

180 is very very tall for a Japanese girl.
The height difference seems to be noticeably larger than other populations based on my observations when I was there, and average height for an adult man is 175ish iirc.
I’m 5’11”
Towering Jewish woman with curly hair and beaky schnoz...
I... this could be good for us or bad for us.
It’s not great for them... unless maybe sort of.
Jeong is gonna be like “we’re not!” Unless Hangul is “what if we are?” first.

It’s from when they were drinking.
She’s “helping” him drink some booze, which, as stated at the end of that chapter “He couldn’t drink it well”. However it was translated.
A scene between starting to drink and her drunkenly rambling about mobile games

🤦♀️
You don’t get to decide if something is offensive to people.
I was just listening to a podcast that did an episode about the Holocaust. They talked about how absurd and offensive it is when people say that we should forgive the Nazis for murdering six million of us.
No one...
@no168_92
You’re not wrong, but if you’re trans even things like that can be painful, especially in the first few years.
Also, ask a straight guy “would you fuck a dude/bro/Chad/etc?” and watch most of them say “uuuuh...😟”
@Sommeguy
AFAIK it does indeed mean “one who only bottoms”.
Maybe I’m wrong. I’m not up on as much slang as a lot of other queers, nor is my wife.
We love gay shit, but “scene” shit is super uncomfortable. Feels so performative, aggressive and hypersexual. Being queer AT each other or some...

NP 😉
I’ve read the raw of this series a bunch of times.
There’s a lot lost in translation, most can’t be helped.
Every time they have sex, it’s specific that he’s “being held” that is to say “being made love to”.
It’s less crude than “being fucked” which is kinda dismissive and...
Switchmode is the squad!
Always nice to see a baby queer in manga actually be into doing gay sex. So much BL is pseudo hetero stuff. Most yuri seems to exist in a world without female sexuality.
I like it when a new dude is like “Wow, I love this man bod and hard cock” and girls are like “dem...
To clarify something that just doesn’t translate (Japanese is vague): it’s not specifically stated that it was some kind of power struggle.
It’s just “switched back after 5min”. Maybe she flipped him over, maybe he gave up, maybe he... deflated.
I say (again, vague so it’s just my head canon)...
