That's because you're a heterosexual girl. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Lol, hypocrite.
Yaoi is full of allegorical sexist tropes and misogynistic behavior acted out by genderless looking men. The whole seme and uke bit is an asexual reenactment of male sexual domination over women.

New Poll - Anime OP/ED
(51 posts, 9363 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in News
Agreed, absolutely inane, simply a question for the sake of a question.
It's the sort of thing one would come up with, if one were suddenly forced to come up with a poll question and only given 10 seconds to do so.
If the OP's a better song, people will prefer it; converse...

But you can flip the real estate later for funds.
The "money is no object" bit is more important to me than the location.

President Election: Obama VS Romney
(91 posts, 15203 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in Chatter Box
Why do you Americans have to smother every forum in site with your creepy political sh*tstorms right now?
Because it was likely some callow Kos Kid that posted this crap I'll post some honest flamebait:
I'd vote Romney because I'm not a credulous fool; but then again I'm a ...

Bishies: love 'em or hate 'em
(127 posts, 20119 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in Manga General
It seems to me there is a lot of confusion and crossed definitions on the meaning and usage of the word "Bishie".
Some people here are using the classic Japanese definition of asexual, effete, lipsticked and mascara, Takarazuka type characters.
While others here are using t...

Well if you want to get technical any LGBT person by definition is a pervert due to the nature of their sexuality vis-à-vis the biological function of sex.

New Poll - Mainstream
(33 posts, 6122 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in News
I don't usually read a manga thinking who else does.
Agreed.
Only the most pretentious kiddies, chock full of callow ideas about what constitutes "good" or "enjoyable", would pooh-pooh a story simply because it's popular.

What song are you listening to RIGHT NOW?
(5082 posts, 486390 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in Music
"Three little maids from school are we" by Gilbert and Sullivan.
The shrill trilling "ha-ha-ha-hi-hi-hi" of Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing arouses me.

New Poll - Known Languages
(119 posts, 20670 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by philip72 in News
I hope so as I can then add Scots to my list.
Does anyone else find the the way the first option is posed kind of douchey?
I'm a Canadian so it's no skin off my back, but if I was American, I'd say the person who created the poll was a bit of a dick.

Am I the only one who ships HildaxAoi?

While I don't ship persay; as a heterosexual, red blooded male I prefer the thought of HildaxAoi far more than Hilda/Aoi x any of the guys.
Actually AoixRedTails, particularly Nene or Yuka, could be delicious, and HildaxYolda would be faptastic.

DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement - Beelzebub & Bakuman
(180 posts, 28281 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by philip72 in News
And how much money did Japanzai make from Depositfiles and Batoto?
And if MangaFox has started paying scanlators, how is it different from Batoto?
The fact that Batoto pays scanlators, bothers me almost as much as MangaFox keeping the dough themselves.

MangaStream Drops VIZ Media Licensed Series

"Viz as far as I can see did a good job already, releasing it 3 weeks after Japan."
That's nowhere near good enough. This isn't the 80's where they had to snail mail transcripts.
There's no reason why Viz can't release simultaneously with Japan right now, aside from a predi...

Well VIZ certainly has a right to do this, and I never went to MangaStream once they went online reader only, but this may limit some new fan exposure to the series.

I may be misunderstanding what you're trying to say, but if you're saying scanlators should quit scanlating if what they're doing hurts the mangaka, then I certainly agree with you.

In reality those high posting demands are a form of extracting payment from leechers.
"If you keep my personal forum active, I will pay you with releases."
It's pure bartering, and it's highly unethical in regards to scanlation.
