I honestly don't know why they get poo poo from so many people.)

Marluxia posted:It's pretty funny seeing your reactions to Shizune here. Part of it is she's being a jerk here, yeah, but also part of it is entirely unsurprising to me. It doesn't fully apply here, but Deaf bluntness is a real thing. If she's blunt, that's fine. What bothers me is how she's been repeatedly pressuring Hisao. It's hard not to interpret each and every interaction she has with him as being towards getting him onto the Student Council.

Falconier111 posted:And yet this went over so many people’s heads. Like, google “interviews with monster girls” and you’ll get thousands of results, all of them unambiguously talking about the anime. Add “disability” to the search, or any other version of the word, and you get three blog posts, one article in a small magazine, and a Reddit thread about one of the blog posts (where a third of the comments try to angrily debunk it) before the search dissolves into results about the anime more generally and then Sesame Street for some reason. I’ve talked before about how disability rights barely register on most people’s radars, and here’s how that looks in practice. This reminds me of an argument I saw on Tumblr once upon your time. It was about How to Train Your Dragon and its sequels. The plot of the movie is on Wikipedia, but to make a long story extremely short, it's about a young Viking-ish kid, Hiccup, who befriends a dragon that he names Toothless. Now, the relevant thing here is that, by the end of the movie, Hiccup is out his left leg below the knee, and Toothless is missing half a tail fin. Both use a prosthetic - Hiccup to walk, and Toothless, with Hiccup's help, to fly. This persists for the rest of the series. The argument was about whether Hiccup counted as disabled or not. One person in particular was favoring the 'not' point of view. Other people asked, "why's that?" He's-Not-Disabled commenter replied with something that stuck with me: quote:Because he doesn't struggle. The rest of the argument was everyone else tearing He's-Not-Disabled a new one, but it got me thinking. Perhaps the reason people don't recognize this anime in the context of disability is that it's portrayed as a thing that just, like, the characters have and roll with, and not, like, a primary impediment to the characters' well-being? Which, like, arguably dovetails right into what KS has been doing (the 'roll with' approach).

gegi posted:H-scenes in VNs tend to be incredibly bad though. They rarely develop character or even stay IN character. They're often just "here's the porn bit" and can be cut with nothing lost. I have to wonder why that is, though. Wouldn’t it be boring if there’s no personality? It doesn’t seem like a way to attract an audience.

Falconier111 posted:I think it’s an agency thing. She really doesn’t want to have her decisions made for her, and I can respect that; it’s not like people always assume disabled people can make their own choices. He found a way to offer her the help she needs without making her less of the success story she’s worked so hard to become, and once she’s convinced he’s serious about that, she goes for it and starts to open up. I agree with this, but I think Emi was also kind of using it as an excuse to not have to be dependent on any other person after... whatever happened with her accident.

Dance Officer posted:Something that I keep coming back to is that Hisao and Hanako getting together isn't really believable to me, based on what I think governs attraction. Attraction in major part is based on similar childhood experiences, and Hisao and Hanako simply don't have that. I... I don't know. That feels kind of simplistic to me. I know personally I'm attracted to people based on their personality, despite the people I've eventually bonded with having quite different childhoods than me. And that's not getting into attraction based on one's appearance. Could you go into more detail about where your theory's from?

I think the game is trying to take the point of view that even asking her "Do you want to do X?" counts as a leading question, and she's just going along with it to not have to think about it. But I don't know what the alternative is.

Nidoking posted:The entire rest of the list, honestly. I see a lot of potential negative consequences of having romantic feelings and no positive ones, so that's pretty much the definition of unacceptable. Again, that's just my perspective and only applies to me. I know there are people out there who have managed to make romance and relationships and all of that stuff work for them. I don't believe I can, so I believe it would only cause harm if I tried. I have no motivation to change that, so it's my reality. I see. Good luck.

bewilderment posted:As an outsider to sign language, learning about how it differs from the spoken language that it's 'supposedly' based from or developed from is very interesting! It also means that because word order can be very different, interpreters/translators have a lot of room to have their own personal spin on how something comes across. I've never done Shizune's route so it'll be interesting to see (I assume) how Hisao learns to differentiate between Shizune's intent and Misha's additions. Funny you should mention that. I saw a sign language interpretation of WAP, and the signer... well, I can't read any sign languages, so I could see that there were signs in there, but I got the feeling they were very stylized, as the signer had turned it into a full-on dance. Note that this was a video of someone dancing in their house that they posted on tumblr (reposted from TikTok?) so I couldn't dig it up again even if I wanted to.

. Quick poll, not a vote: would you guys be more interested in reading how accessibility measures designed for disabled people almost always cause performance increases among abled users and what that says about the human organism, or about the interplay of disability, sexuality, romance, and societal expectations? I only have time for one disability corner before I start bumrushing the rest of the route and writing a route conclusion.
