Comic Site Rant: Breaking Eggshells
March 21st, 2008 at 23:55:50 by wahHere is a comic. I forget if it’s good or not at this point. Pretty much speaks for itself.
Anyway, Anime Boston. First day sucked because 3.5 hours of it were spent in line. After that I met up with a few people, talked and bought some stuff. Went to a couple panels, too– FUNi’s industry thing and Mike Toole’s black ‘n’ white anime panel. Other than that, nothing of interest happened. Quite an underwhelming day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Oh yeah, the lines were crazy. My friend was in the normal reg line for 6 hours, and got to skip parts of it. Yeah. Anyway, hopefully a podcast of this madness will materialize in the near future.
Going to watch some bad anime (DRAGONZO) then go to bed. Later.

@comic: OMG IT’S SO TRUE. I was just thinking today (at anime boston) how fucked up it was that hardcore yaoi is everywhere, but even normal straight healthy womminz ero manga gets short shrift.
@con: I preregistered wwww I feel kind of bad, but I actually thought in my head “Ha ha, suckers!” at all the people in line D:

I preregistered and I still spent a lot of time in line.

Ehh seriously. If man-porn is on store shelves then why do they censor manga like Air Gear and Tengho Tenge and completely reject thinks like Kodomo No Jikan?

Maybe they are all these movements for freedom for Gay people and none for being sexually attracted to little girls? :s

well, I like hardcore manporn and tittiez equally and I’d say the reason for titz being so hard to get is because the otaku aren’t spending enough money on them.
STOP LEECHING or at least buy Pink Sniper in english.

The last time I headed to an anime shop, they ero Anime wasn’t in short supply. Its really only in manga that us male anime fans get shortchanged, but that is becasue Yaoi fangirls tend to buy more manga outside the Naruto/Bleach Box.

I wonder why this hasn’t made the news. You’d think that some Christian group would get wise to the idea that these bookstores are selling, mostly unwittingly I’d guess, gay soft porn for underage girls and cause a ruckus.

Come on guys, the answer is obvious, it’s a worldwide sinister conspiracy to make us gay for young, nubile men by taking away our little girls and our T&A.

Society is fucked up on so many levels >:(

Lines were worse then you let on… There were some horror stories of waits that were over 8 hours…

Hmm, I was too poor/far away from Boston for Anime Boston.
So…you’re telling me…the gay rights activists and old 1970s hippies have taken over the stores? Fuckers! First they fuck up politics. Then they fuck up the military, now they take away our ero?
DAMN THEM ><
About the comic, really nicely done man.

I have to say, this one made me think for a moment and wonder “why IS the gay sexual orientation so accepted in our society while the at least equally improper pedophilia orientation isn’t??”. It does make some sense in some ways, but come on, at least the latter has the pairing right! It’s just a bit more severe than usual case of liking younger women…

*shakes head* You know, I was pissed about Kodomo no Jikan too, but this comparison is just not applicable at all. The only reason I’m pissed about hardcore man porn getting placement on the selves is because dammit at least Kodomo no Jikan has real people as it’s characters. Good story = win over stupid stereotypical penis-in-butt plotlines.
also, @moonspeaker: So does that mean the creepy fundamental Christians and assorted idiots that compare homosexuality to screwing animals would agree with this? Because clearly the train of “logic” is the same.

I always preferred the term “gay stuff” to “man porn,” because man porn could be construed as “porn for men.”
March 28th, 2008 at 17:50:20
True, but manporn sounds funnier

As much as I am for Gay rights and all, even occasionally dipping into that section of fans myself, it still scares me when the local bookstore has BL prominently on display. They don’t even try to at least stack them so you don’t have to see their covers.
That is one instance where cute little seven-ten year olds who have crushes on their teachers and shouldn’t be wearing frilly mini-skirts seems much more appealing. Aside from the fact those costumes look extremely cute. ^w^

I dont understand why Kodomo no jikan manga was cancelled, had been resolved with a warning ”for adults”, right?
But we must accept that it is more acceptable to see a couple of Homosexuals (usually adult couples) that a teacher being harassed by a student
I personally the argument of Kodomo no jikes not bother me, but the reality is that
