I will never understand how people can see the countless jokes of "she looks 8 but she's really 8000" and just....ignore it. Short answer is they're all pedos, long answer involves them being dumb. Both answers are depressing.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

No no it's cool because she magically ages up her body to be an adults body. So then it's totally okay to have sex with the person still mentally the same as before.

At the the core is the attitude that 'its not real' in the greater anime fandom. That's why its ignored so much. All the objectionable stuff like slavery and worse is being done to made up fictional characters. Its a similar attitude to violence in video games. Its not real, so it doesn't matter that I can kill whatever I want ingame.

Well they don't "just" look 8. It would be weirdly interesting if they were like into rebuilding classical cars and golf, instead of 8-year-old things.

The one think that was on my mind the whole episode is that the hero's behavior is a textbook abuse cycle.

1) What do you mean you don't want to murder the bunny?
2) Torture through a cursed mark
3) I bought you a nice meal, aren't a nice caring guy?
4) Yep everything is cool and good.
1) What do you mean you don't want to kill the big doggie?

And all the defenders are commenting on how it's okay that he enslaves a traumatized child so she can be his child soldier, because he treats her well. :barf:

Come to think of it, are there any reverse-harem isekai novels? Not that it'd make them any less lovely, but I'm always hearing about dudes becoming gods with harems of ladies. Where're the ladies with dude harems?

I guess there's probably not much of a market for that in all honesty. Maybe a dude with a dude harem then?

Kind of a tangent, but have you read about the International Red Cross' PR disaster when they tried to point this out about video games? Gamers got mad on the internet as they tend to do, but BI were the only company that bothered to respond back about how to turn it into something more engaging. They came out with a cool Laws of War DLC that went over what the Red Cross and other humanitarian agencies do during and after war, rules of engagement, and the effects on the area after a war when reconstruction is taking place. There's a certain irony is the announcement of it because there were some new vehicles and weapons... which were things like cluster bombs and UXO to demonstrate their long lasting effects and the dangers of dealing with them. I believe proceeds for the DLC went towards the Red Cross.

https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/19/16330216/international-red-cross-pr-disaster-arma-3-laws-of-war-dlc

quote:

“Everyone on the forums says, ‘Yes! Thank you! Give us civilians and humanitarian workers and cluster munitions and we will use these new guns to eradicate as many of the first group as possible,” Rouffaer said. “But by saying that, it means that they will have consciously been saying, ‘We are going to break the law.’ It means that, even if it's at a very low level, they now have an understanding that there was a law in the first place.”

Small victories!

They exist. In another world I am called Black Healer is fairly good, albeit it has scenes that might cause some PTSD.

There's also a manwa called "They say I am the daughter of the king", but it gives me anxiety issues, because every guy in it is a huge scumbag.

There's plenty of female isekai, but actual polyandry is pretty rare. It exists though: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-corpse-ruler-confuses-the-world-all-seven-husbands-are-devils/

Worship the Slime King! The anime has been really good...ish. The pacing these last few episodes has felt incredibly rushed and it makes me incredibly uncomfortable, more than usual since they skipped some rather important discussions regarding the Demon Lords and Milim. A recent interview revealed that the producers very much wanted to do a much more detailed retelling of about two LN volumes per cour(perspective would be that Orc Lord fight would be the end of cour two) to better flesh things out about the world and the characters, but it got voted down by the anime's committee hence the weird pacing and other issues which is a HUGE loving bummer. The general consensus has been that it was to get to Milim as quickly as possible since she's a big merch sales character and the anime is being mostly used to sell on the manga and LN.

Doesn't he try to kidnap Firo the bird/angel girl because she looks like Flonne from Disgaea and he feels...Things for her and wants to act out on them(i.e., he wants to molest her) or some poo poo? I remember seeing that on a post and wondering what the gently caress is wrong with people and the author for including something that horrendously hosed up.

Bakarina and Accomplishments of a Duke's Daughter.

Edit: I legit find the amount of positive reception that Shield Hero is getting in consideration to how loving gross it is to be VERY disturbing. Seriously, someone on MAL justified the Queen pushing her 10 year old daughter to marry Naofumi as, "That's how things were back then" and trying to be historical mature guy guy about it. It's REALLY loving messed up.

Listen, hear me out. What if she gets magically aged-up? Perfect. Problem solved.

Also, Bakarina and Accomplishments of a Dukes Daughter are legit as hell. Same as Saving 80,000 Gold Coins for my Old Age.

Somehow that just makes it even MORE loving uncomfortable somehow. I'm 100% sure they "justify" it with Raphtilia somehow by making her very mature for her age from her life experiences with Naofumi or some poo poo.

And yes I agree about Bakarina and Duke's Daughter. Bakarina is just...Oh My God...It's the GOOD kind of cringe comedy. Like you cringe at how clueless and dense she is while trying to hold off from laughing you head off. Duke's Daughter is just all kinds of fun with how the lead changes the world around her by applying economic along with bringing in new products from her old life while dealing with all kids of political intrigue and what not.

Duke's daughter is good economic and nobility stuff, bakarina is silly and hilarious fluff.

Another good one is my ideal lazy life, where a guy is summoned by an incredibly hot queen from another world to be her husband and give her a child. The cover even makes it look like there's a bunch of silly harem shenanigans, and the very first page is sexy fun times!!!

Except it almost immediately switches to the in-depth politicking of this world where the queen is the first female ruler of her country in a basically entirely patriarchal world, and he has to learn how to properly act around nobles so as not to undermine his wife's image in the political world, while also learning customs and stuff. It eventually gets into the problems of illigetimate bloodlines, negotiations with other countries, etc. Oh, and it's totally monogamous and they're an adorable couple. It's a pretty good fakeout from the initial impression.

Sold.

As an aside, reading some earlier posts about Slime, the anime skips over a lot of internal monologues for reasons stated in an earlier post, but Rimuru is VERY aware of how OP his abilities make him and it actually makes him rather uncomfortable at times such as the sword replication. A lot of character stuff got trimmed off which really does bug the crap out of me.

It's not isekai, but I'll never miss a chance to talk up Undead Adventurer. It's like Dark Souls with how the lead is an undead mixed with Dragon's Crown. WanWan Monogatari is another one I've read and liked. It's about an office worker who dies and wishes to be reincarnated as a rich persons dog and gets adopted by a cute rich girl to be the family pet...Except after only a month he grows up to be the size of a small horse and is actually Fenrir and can shoot a beam from his mouth. Naturally he freaks out.
