[OOC] Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Rin: To be fair, I'm the kind of guy who judges things as a whole and not just piece by piece, so yeah, that's just kinda... Treading the line.
Like... It's hentai. What else am I supposed to view it as? ._.

(I admit to being a bit of a prude yes.)

What kind of a rabbit hole and I leaping into with this sort of comment...? ._.

@PKMNB0Y

I think the amount of reverence for the rear end is probably being played up for comedy in the OOC to be honest.

Its probably more similar to like...
The Virgin Mary was considered to be apple breasted by a frack ton of Romance writters/painters during the Enlightenment Period. Because this was considered the quality of a sacred woman, it became a standard of beauty.

there are probably better examples, but the apple breasted thing was the first i could think of. Basically just 'known' (more likely assumed) properties of physical appearance steering social norms of what is le sexy.

edit: And that reinforcing itself and becoming more exaggerated (seriously, look through romance novels of that era. Every god damn woman is apple breasted. There had to be a fucking apple famine for generations these guys were so obsessed with apples.)

Edit 2: Or are we talking about the monster girl show? Cause no yeah thats straight up soft core. I mean, I liked the show (in part because I find the awkward way harem shows handle that kind of thing aboslutely hilarious).

[AtomicNut]

Asses come in second place for me after boobs personality.

Also Tio>Papi.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@ghastlyInc: Well, yeah, I figured this is all in jest, but I was referring to the whole monster girl discussion that was half blooming in here. Mainly harine's mention of Kenkou Cross. That was what tipped me off.

I'm not going to question matters regarding taste (because goddammit I have to write a goddamn PAPER on why taste in art and media is what it is today), but even so... Yeah.

Eh, iono. To each their own.

@ghastlyInc

I honestly liked it mostly for the worldbuilding really. ^^;

Same. Though so many lovely ladies.

As far as the anime with monstergirls, I've read both the manga and watched the anime.

Can't decide who I like the most :/

@harinezumikouken

The hentai prototype. That was absolutely hilarious.

[ghastlyInc]

@PKMNB0Y
oh no yeah, I get that it can definitely be uncomfortable to watch.
(I mean, I think highschool DxD is the most sexist trash to ever crawl out of the animation industry for...basically all the things that make the monster girl show hilarious to me.)
Though, honestly that might just be a problem I have with japans animation industry as a whole? Just as a narrative thing, there seems to be this plague of objectification problems.

@ghastlyInc

There's something wrong with Japan.
There's something wrong with anime.
And there's something wrong with men.

I acknowledge that there is a problem.
But that won't stop me from enjoying checking the Monster Girl Encyclopedia for new entries every so often.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@ghastlyInc: Not even watch, but READ. Oh, god. The cringe was real. And, again, things like MGE and MGQ are... Well, hentai. And... All the joys that come along with that, I guess.

Thanks, internet.

Though... I still wouldn't say that the anime industry has gone too far down that hole. Just because the classic high school battle harem romance comedy is cheap and easy to pump out to make money doesn't mean it should be seen within a vacuum. There are a lot of gems that exist if you know where to look, but I won't deny that it DOES have a few issues here and there.

@PKMNB0Y

...I miss mah Berserks.

Guts mah boy what they did to you.

[VitaVitaAR]

I mean if we're going to get into this conversation I don't necessarily think fanservice magically cancels out having a fair number of strong female characters who accomplish a whole lot? There's a lot of anime with strong female characters. ^^;

But I'd rather not have this conversation anyway.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@VitaVitaAR: RAILGUN :U

[Raineh Daze]

-STABS THE SUN.-

[harinezumikouken]

@VitaVitaAR: RAILGUN :U

@PKMNB0Y

Agh, I love A Certain Scientific Railgun. I need to watch 'S'

[VitaVitaAR]

The second season is really good.

[Raineh Daze]

The second season is really good.

@VitaVitaAR

Though the Sisters stuff takes a huge chunk of time.

Forget Index 3 (as much as I WANT Acqua and Battle Royale animated), Railgun characters not existing in a vacuum of character destruction as faint peripherals to the Index stories would be nice. :<

[Rin]

@ghastlyIncFunnily enough, all the people I know who watch Highschool DxD are girls. ^^;

But eh, my main reason for not being keen on all the overly fanservice heavy shows lately is because either they're weak shows that try to distract people from this fact with ZOMGBOOBS!, or they're decent shows that end up getting looked down on because of all the fanservice kind of detracting from their positive traits. Fanservice itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sweet bloody hell there are so many anime coming out lately that are basically just watered down hentai (and some of them aren't even as well written as some hentai I've read but I ain't going to go into detail on that little nugget).

Also Railgun is fantastic. And MISAKA is the 20,000 best characters. :D

[AtomicNut]

Also I would like to raise my two cents with "Become Mine Hero" in which the main heroine not only manages to defeat a hero by just fucking TALKING about large scale economics, and then recruit him into a world changing business endeavour.

And yes i know she has huge tits

[ghastlyInc]

Speaking of huge tits, I'll try and get a princess post out tonight.
Pppprobably wont be long.
