I think we could do with a little less "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm traumatized in these ways." and a lot more "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm allowed to make any art. And also, it's none of your fucking business whether or not I am traumatized."

there's a remake backlash backlash now as if 5 people being upset about remakes matter when you already won and remakes sell shittons and they make 100 of them every year. its a little greedy to also want everyone to agree they're a good thing
People still haven't understood that the majority of people's values are "Anything I like is good and anything that causes me any feeling of discomfort or cringe for any reason is bad and morally reprehensible". That's all. There's no further thought in the majority of heads.
Girly who spends 5h a day scrolling TikTok: "Your 15 minutes jerking it to eromanga every day is a PORN ADDICTION! SEEK HELP!"
I want to have sex with two-dimensional characters from anime, manga and games
The situation with eroge on Steam that require an outside patch is getting a bit ridiculous
Imagine thinking you're a leftie and one of your main activities online is trying to censor art that makes you uncomfortable
People with jobs that also do creative things are literally super beings.
Is being a perverted otaku so wrong...?
