I mean, obviously that's true for me as a poster, but it's just wish-fulfilment fantasy for everyone else.

EDIT: But as power fantasies go, these seem very mild and harmless - almost quaint? Still weird tho

A bunch of cat soup just came out http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Nekojiru-Udon

That's a cool dad

Gotta be honest I didn't even know there was a Cat Soup manga. My only exposure to it was the Masaaki Yuasa film (looking it up I guess he didn't actually direct it, but I found it through him and that's an association I'll never be able to rid myself of), and I think I like it better in animated form. Then again, I've always preferred anime to manga, and the manga's still pretty interesting to read.

This, however, is one of the most disturbing manga I've ever read -- not in a creepy way! It's somehow enhanced by the fact that it's drawn like a children's cartoon in that abstract, simplified style. It reminds me of this anti child abuse commercial.

If you haven't seen it you should definitely check out the film. I think it's a little bit less unsettling just because it focuses more on the animation than the rest of it, but it still has a lot of the same feel of the manga (based on the 3 chapters I read just now).

Manga about petting a cat that makes you do orgasm faces/naked panels: Cool, and good. It's funny!

It was the fact that he knew the woman since she was a young girl and the possibility that she's liked him all that time. But like I said I'm reaching.

that isn't really creepy unless he's actually acting on it or using it to take advantage of her, though

I think it's a fairly neutral comic with a vaguely smarmy self-congratulatory undertone? I don't particularly care one way or the other if it continues forever? I'm perfectly comfortable not reading it.

Okay, here's my reaction: I clicked the next button 9 times and there's no comic. I'm guessing it's bad, gay, retarded and there was a short fat dude on the cover I'm assuming he's an MRA PUA MLG POS.

Japanese IP holders are extremely twitchy about that kind of thing. Nintendo has been sending C&Ds to youtube speedrunnners for showing that their games can be exploited or emulated, not the actual process of emulation, just a shot of someone playing an SNES game on their computer.
