Oh I see...

He writes manga not for his readers...


But for finding himself...

Well, this comment section went nowhere quickly. As usual, though.

There really is no need to jump to conclusions and start labeling things. Oshimi is a very reasonable person, and his issues with masculinity and self-image might well stem from something as common as low testosterone supplemented by judgmental or abusive attutude from others experienced during his teens.

I think it's a great thing that he's trying to figure this out through writing, basically trying to envision a situation strongly resonating with his own but hyperbolized just enough to let himself draw conclusions that his personal experience did not provide, or different in just such a way that would put his standing ideas and convictions to the test. And that's what's most important in my opinion. This is writing at its finest; an experiment jointly participated by the author and their audience.

@JonRa

That simple quote is considered a terf argument lol

Westerners. so far from reality.

 

[Weeb4ever]

this is what art is, a exploration of the writer/artist deepest thoughts. Its beautiful

 

[JonRa]

@smolbaka
Oh, the nerve of these people mentioning reality

I was like, "Hmm, what's a terf argument? Maybe a kind of fallacy I don't know," but no, it turns out this author is now a radical feminist. Imagine my shock

Some of you really need to get a fucking blog or something, every crossdressing manga chapter comment page turns to some 150 post garbage pile bickering at each other, give it a rest.

 

[smolbaka]

Agree with minmod

I ignore idiots saying "egg" or "trans?" Or bring up any sort of assumption of gender identity or sexuality onto a character.

Blocking them is my usual response to this.

I wish they wouldn't bring this stuff into comments. It usually erupts into arguments.
