It's more likely a reference to the Philadelphia Eagles wearing dog masks in 2017.

You're right. Mike Vick was #7. Currently #90 is Jordan Davis and #17 is Nakobe Dean. Funnily enough, they both played in college on the Georgia Bulldogs, and Jordan Davis, whose jersey Fuwawa is wearing, is known for being very big, while Nakobe Dean is considered small for his position. I wonder how much of this was intentional.

    Well I meant she wasn't forced into it by an outside force. Poor choice of words on my part. Her choice was openly identifying as a girl, rather than continuing to identify as male out of fear of what that choice means for herself and everything she did for her village.

    Except Bridget's entire story was proving the village's superstition was wrong. Bridget was forced to identify as a girl because of a believed curse that twin boys or twin girls are a bad omen, so instead of killing one, his parently lied and said it was mixed twins.

    Okay then, why can't Bridgette be an otokonoko with she/her pronouns. I know Japanese does not have pronouns, and that there is a certain nuance to speaking patterns that are indicative of the character beyond their gender (eg speaking like a noble, overly polite, etc). Why does she have to be a transgender in western eyes, when she was made in Japan, and follows their otaku line of thought that she is an otokonoko? Why are you culturally appropriating her?

    I don't mind if Vivian is trans or not in a kid's game. I mean, I agree with you that kids are exposed to genderbending shenanigans often. I also think it would be cool if Mario went on a side quest fulfilled Vivian's wish in of itself and showed her sisters whose boss. Wouldn't that be a good moral that for trans audiences that the hero of the story showed care, and actually went on a quest to affirm a representative character's story? I am just disappointed we are having this kind of argument in the context of a kid's game. Like, imagine doing this IRL in front of kids who just want to play Paper Mario, just cuz their parents are having nostalgia and want to share the joy.

    You know there are transgender people in Japan, right?

    Not really.
    There are gay people in Japan.
    There are crossdressers in Japan
    there are effeminate men in japan.
    There are *not* trans people in japan.
    "Trans" are seen as people suffering from a mental disorder, as everyone in the world saw, until it was randomly changed in 2015.

    How do you feel about this term, which originated in Japan, and which is used primarily by Japanese trans people to refer to themselves?

    Yeah, they are referred to newhalfs over there. But did you know Otokonoko are real people too? Although its origins come from anime, as a result of the progressive culture in Akihabara, it became normalized there. I'll say it again, it's not just a fetishized hentai tag some people make it be. It is an actual concept of identity over there.

    Having said that, for the love of Japanese culture, please let them develop their LGBTQ+ their own way. Or what, are you seriously going to waltz into a soapland in Japan and harass a sex worker there "You're not an otokonoko! You are trans!!!" even though they work hand-in-hand with actual trans women?

    What event if you didn't mind me asking

    comment #2337165
    The 2023 Summer event. It was meant to be a silly parody of Summer events in Gacha games (where the cast get swimsuits and other skimpy outfits). Ishmael got a diving suit in contrast to the usual swimsuit that other Gacha games would have. South Korean Incels took the event way too seriously, and threatened Project Moon and the previous CG artist Vellmori for supposedly being Femininst. Vellmori left Project Moon which caused a lot of Project Moon artists to stop making or delete their related artworks in response.
    You'll see a lot of artists who made Project Moon artwork, then suddenly stop after Summer 2023.

    Dude, that’s not Zons wife, that’s his little sister.

    Zon's middle school aged little sister hence, "Laios isn't into cute and funny" since Laios was uncomfortable with how Zon was trying to push Leed on him when he became king. Instead in one of the .5 4koma chapters Laios' compliments towards his wives had Zon enraged because he thought Laios was after them.

    How you even got Leed=Zon's wife is ???

    It’s satire, guys. No one says “it’s illegal to be straight” and be completely serious about that.

    That's the thing about satire; there'll always be someone who completely agrees with it, not realizing it's a joke.

    If only. I saw so many people on tumblr then later on twitter insult people for being CIS, aka straight. I think it calmed down a bit since, but there was a time where "cis scum" was a common sight, and a common blight.

    Fair enough, the bad apples of a bunch are usually the most vocal.

    Sadly, the bad ones are the ones that get noticed and remembered. Not the ones trying to push for equal salary, but the ones having a meltdown in front of a camera and "literally shaking rn" because they got contradicted by a dude who loves girls.

    Yeah and a girl called me ugly in highschool once move on also depending the time you saw these post the average cis-person was probably more bigoted then they are now and while I don't think we shouldn't be bigoted towards a certain group because the majority of that group do negative things. If your bullied by cis-people for being gay I can understand the frustration causes people to do that

    How heavy is this chainmail if freaking Sheep Nun has trouble lifting it?

    27 lb (roughly 12 kg).

    The issue is not so much the weight of chainmail itself, but rather psychology - if you expect something to be light, you won't use as much strength to lift it, which can lead to you being surprised, that it's actually heavier than expected.
