Editing your post isn't cute. Knock it off.

While it is up to a user to block you to prevent friend requests, it's your responsibility to not be a harassing troll.

Thanks,

"Who would you steal the money from then."

edit: Ah, I've clicked on your profile and read the bio. What a surprise, but I guess you're serious.

Warrants the question tho, why not go to dynasty scans but linger with your unwanted sexism here instead.
 
the fact that people apparently read this manga because chapter 6 made them root for tazune and they hope the uppity women get what's coming to them is absolutely stunning to me
 
Maki, when Tazune ultimately ends up finding you guys, punch him.



Unrelated, but I absolutely love the gossip girl meme so thank you Sexy Akiba
 
these replies are really depressing

y'all, if you don't understand why people feel so strongly that the hubby is an irredeemable piece of garbage, i think you need to do a lot of learning and soul-searching on what abuse really means
 
@typedrat God forbid we get a manga that realistically portrays the struggle lesbians face (especially those coming out later in life) instead of 'uwu soft gay girls.' Of course some people are going to root for Tazune, because they see themselves in him, and can't cope with the fact that he's a psychologically and physically abusive person.
 
@LizardShack that is why I like this manga.

I don't want "uwu soft gay girls"! I just think that anyone who roots for Tazune is a sociopath and I don't like being reminded that 49% of this country is inculcated into sociopathy from birth and therefore root for sociopaths.

You mean they're identyfying with someone who's been cheated on and robbed by their prospective spouse? Quite possibly. With userbase this big is not unreasonable to imagine people from all walks of life reading this manga, not only the usual crowd.

On the other hand it's totally not like lesbians install themselves mentally in every yuri plot and consequently are unable to acknowledge even slightest moral transgressions on part of their in-universe vehicles / identity representatives, because they think it reflects negatively on them and their group. That's probably why everyone here have acknowledged that Midori is a thief.

Give everyone a break and save that biased bullshit for Morishima Akiko type comics discussions.

You're an insanely bigoted person. It's not even funny.

ps. get your head out of your ass. not everyone lives in u states of a.

>implying that a lot of men don't read yuri to fetishize lesbians
>implying that's what I meant when you know damn well it wasn't and avoided pointing out Tazune's overwhelming negative traits

If you want to unironically empathize with a pathological physical/mental abuser, then that's your deal. I don't see you lambasting Tazune's prior cheating on his partners, nor all of his psychological manipulation. Also, imagine ignoring the fact that Midori was the primary (if not the only) person contributing to the wedding fund, as, up until the point in the story where he literally hit her, Tazune has shown no interest in the wedding at all.

Lol. Implied nothing of the sort, it's just your bias (and something else) speaking.

(not to mention it really doesn't have anything to do with topic at hand - you just wanted to write such statement, didn't you? it adds to martyrdom narratives, both of external and internal kind

but if I were to engage this sad attempt at 'rhetoric', as 'countepoints' I would've mentioned things like the fact that lots of self proclaimed 'straight' girls also 'fetishize lesbians', either by reading yuri or watching explicit sapphic porn ; maybe I'd have even brought up that significant chunk of women who are "out" engage in creation and consumption of different sorts of yaoi fiction, or that they admit to watching mtm gay porn on regular basis.

I won't though, just wanted to outline how idiotic that type of 'arguing' would've been)

>implying that's what I meant when you know damn well it wasn't and avoided pointing out Tazune's overwhelming negative traits
Above^2. It fits nicely with what I'd pointed out - group's in-story avatar must always have moral upper hand, because otherwise "feels bad man" and "negative public portrayal".

I did not "avoid" anything. It's been acknowledged at least hundred times already in comment threads related to this manga. "Hundreds" is probably more accurate estimation given the in-built bias and inherent sexism of fandom though.

If you want to unironically empathize with a pathological physical/mental abuser, then that's your deal.
Ah, so now we're heading onto character assassination part of semantic tree of this conversation. You must distort my alleged ethical standards and make me into 2d "x-ist y-phobic moral scum" caricature (it doesn't have to be that bad, anything below how you personally rate yourself and your 'sisters' will do) , so you could easily dismiss uncomfortable points on ad hominem basis.

But even if I were all those bad things you like to imagine people different from you to be (which I'm not), that still wouldn't necessarily make me wrong. <Pickyourvillain> pointing out that "earth is round" is still correct despite what you might happen to personally think of him (and yes, I know it's 'him" for you).
I don't see you lambasting Tazune's prior cheating on his partners, nor all of his psychological manipulation.
Same as the above. Singled it out to say "nice whataboutism dude".

But hey, two can play this game. Wasn't he sexually abused by some gals in the past? Seems like there were three of them, so at least 'abusing" his first three partners after that would make it okay, right? He's a victim after all.

(don't answer, just wanted to put your bias on display and show how ridiculous that way of compartmentalized thinking is)

Also, imagine ignoring the fact that Midori was the primary (if not the only) person contributing to the wedding fund, as, up until the point in the story where he literally hit her, Tazune has shown no interest in the wedding at all
The shit? Point me out to source pages, because I remember nothing of the sort being suggested.
 
@yagami_liedto
While I'd absolutely love to continue arguing this, I don't think I will. You've made it abundantly clear that you have some bone to pick with lesbians (especially lbl's, for some reason). It's mind-boggling to me why you're even reading shoujo-ai and yuri with such a toxic mindset, so I'll leave you to your hate. Yes, stealing is bad; most of that money is hers; and Tazune is an emotionally and proven physically abusive man who has specifically stated the only reason he chose to marry Midori was because she was easy to control.

More likely you just can't, that's what it is.

So I was right, huh:
Did being deconstructed in the span of few short paragraphs pissed you off enough to double down on that helpless rhetorical device?

You're such a bot person.

most of that money is hers
Source "please". As far as I know there's nothing about that in the narrative.

Tazune is an emotionally and proven physically abusive man who has specifically stated the only reason he chose to marry Midori was because she was easy to control.
"But what about..."
Now you're just repeating yourself. Did your brain fried trying to logically integrate his "identity as sexual abuse survivor" into how you feel about the character?

tl;dr: you really hate looking into mirrors, don't you?
 
Just realized I misread a bit, so edited.

@yagami_liedto Your argument is that she wronged him. However, she owes no fidelity to someone who treats her the way he did. Once he abused her, he nullified his right to any loyalty. I would say this no matter the gender of the participants. Currently rereading about the money thing but I remember him not wanting to do anything for the wedding. She did all of the planning of the details and she has a job.
 
And by loyalty I don't mean "stay with someone forever" but "at least don't sleep with someone else (that isn't agreed upon by both persons) without breaking up first". However, with his behavior, he has essentially driven her into a corner. She has very strong reason to fear that if she tells him she's breaking up, he'll hurt her physically, considering he already did so. That's why she wanted to run away and just disappear from his life, because it felt safer.

Do you know how many abusers kill the women who break up with them? (And in the majority of cases, it's women that gets killed.) It's for reasons like that that we have restraining orders and other protective measures for abuse victims.
 
Oh my god there are people actually going to bat for this misogynistic abusive loser? He’s a terrible person and I would love it he died :) It is crazy to think she has to stay loyal to a guy that constantly belittles her and has physically hit her. It doesn’t matter what happened to him personally that does not make it okay for him to hate women and treat the woman in his life like shit. Clearly those defending him know nothing about how people get trapped in abusive relationships. I’m glad there are some sane people dragging these fools.
