@nhslinks @SecondRingSZN just goes to show how you can’t just compare like for like with all countries relationships. The translator did a podcast episode with Taiwan Connect you could listen to which would explain this topic more for you

@SecondRingSZN If you change the colonizing country to a European one, this same premise would be unbelievably scorned and met with universal criticism. It's so laughable how much Japan, as a non-Western country, can have its worst history glorified in a really dumb romance novel

Are you fucking kidding 😭

@SecondRingSZN Why are you using AI instead of just reading and making up your own opinion?

It somehow gets even worse, the book originally posed as a real historical travelogue from the 1930s banned by Chiang and the author unearthed & translated for publicity.

Just saw a comment that they “love that Japanese call it Mr Fuji” and am non-ironically wondering how many foreigners think the san in Fuji-san is the honorific san and not just “Mt”. It never really occurred to me before

@vamperignon @averpee @adalramonessexy source for the last part?

@averpee @adalramonessexy Not defending porn I do think it’s definitely bad BUT all this discourse for days while ignoring she admits cheating? Is porn worse? It seems very hypocritical and misandry-driven, while btw, women are less likely to ADMIT consuming porn but more likely to develop addiction to it

3 days of discourse and no one has pointed out that they look gay and related

I feel like this all the time

One thing about butterflies they do not fly in your house that’s a bug with class

knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey

I love you dearly in a noncommittal, abstract, and frankly almost useless way

everything misaligned just falls away on its own

be patient with yourself when becoming someone you’ve never been before

"listen to your body" my body: go get a cinnamon roll the size of a tire

Dentists be like hello I am your dentist and this is my harem

how it feels to have like any boundaries whatsoever

This is what I feel like writing cover letters

dryhumping is such an ugly and vulgar term for sucha sensual and beautiful act

I hate certain stops on the bus. Wtf do you mean you're getting off here bro are you fucked in the head

Your 20s are for realizing that all your grandiose life plans pale in comparison to having people you really like being around

Crashing out in the gc and no one responds
