I mean, yeah somewhat, I'm just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven't moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won't be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community

Why not?

(Also look at the community you are replying in... What use is there on quesrioning why people use reddit on the c/reddit, it's like when people say "why are you using 4chan" on r/4chan lol)

Finally! It feels like an eternity since we've got a normal chapter

It just bugs me how repetitive the mafia involvement plot lines get in this genre, it is in virtually in every single one and when it gets there it does it in the most stupid or unnecessary ways.

Loved your analogy, I didn't think it that way before but 21 jump street × fight club fits it really well. I'm probably gonna start using it to describe it lol

One last thing just in case you get somewhat interested, the korean delinquent manwhas are a completely different genre from the manga ones. Like, manga is usually more romantic about the figure of the delinquent, it also treats it as a weird in between of the worlds of adults and teenagers, stories usually show the protagonist as a noble delinquent. Manwhas are more like trashy entertainment, there is an absurd amount of bullying going around, lots of them are revenge stories from weak to OP, here the protagonist s usually act vigilante-like, and the fights are usually phenomenal, it feels like it is the biggest focus on most works and most manage to make shonen tier pacing of fight after fight being entertaining.

I reread D-frag, its one of my comfort reads so I read it now and again from beginning to end.

I also read The Bully In-Charge up to chapter 69, its another korean delinquent work in a world where adults dont intervene no matter how bad things get and kids are so vicious they send each other to the hospital in a daily basis. The catch here being that some higher ups at the education foundation decided to hire a 20 year old ex delinquent to go to school as a 16 year old and beat the crap out of the bullies, so he gets to dominate them. I don't think it was trying to do comedy, but it ended up being hilarious in many situations I laughed out loud, it is pretty ridiculous at times. The fights were somewhat good, but near the end it is getting into the typical delinquent manwha territory where gangs and drugs get involved in every high school conflict and also some special bullshit ability is getting introduced, which kind of ruins the "somewhat plausible fiction" element of the fights into straight-up fantasy. (similar to what happens into kuroko no basket to give some reference)

Have you read monster?

The author is by no means underrated, but I can't express enough how much I enjoy his big stories.

A.K.A "the Jordan Peterson experience"

Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven't even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn't something that tends to happen.

Don't be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn't seen as weird or unpolite to do so

I sure love it when people use a single opinion to smear a person's entire legacy, he was great not only for the tech stuff but his stance on scientific articles piracy and a lot of other stuff too.

I won't say that that his opinion on cp is a great one (there is no doubt at least for me that distribution should always be illegal), but he wrote it as a 16 years old and it was guided due to his extremism for free speech over the internet, regardless, it's not like he himself was an evil person distributing child pornography, to paint him as an overall shitty person for an opinion like this seems idiotic imo

This is q bit personal and maybe slightly unrelated, but it reminds me of when people defend non-offending pedos (as in they are attracted to children because yhey are born that way but have not offended, nor groomed, nor harmed a child) saying the stigma should be erased because that would allow us to actually help this people who constantly hide it, therefore reducing the harm to children. This position has unironically got me called a pedophile and a lot of horrible stuff over the internet, and I would draw parallels to this situation, no matter how you slice it this opinion should not be used singlehandedly to state he is someone that shouldn't be respected. Especially since he is not defending the harm itself being done to children (as in the production of CP) which would still be a crime under his view. (Although distribution of course grows the market so it's idiotic not to go after that too), but as I said, it's a bad opinion but that doesn't make him a bad person.

I think I said that lol

I do remember it being more common back when I was in high school, and also there was a movie which mentioned that which could have helped with that

I also havent heard it being said seriously for years though

For me its the one that promoted me to write this, the futurama quote "you're are technically correct, the best kind of correct"

I hate how people use it over at forums, it is repeated ad nauseam, even if it doesn't make much sense. It's probably from people using it constantly that I hate the quote, and not something that has to do with the meaning.

 

I have a lot of doubts surrounding this topic, like, what even is the purpose of a review? Are reviews recommendations or are they intended for people who have already wachted/read? (or is there more than one kind of review?)

Second, what level of spoilers is considered acceptable, if its something greatly enjoyable and unexpected but it happens on the first 10 chapters, should that be mentioned?

Third, what are the areas that should be focused on? Are there any kind of common templates or is it pure freestyle?

I understand there should be a level of freedom involved as in when one writes an essay, but Im having trouble grasping on what the actual objective of a review is and thus what the limits are.

In case it helps, I would love to write reviews on anilist or MAL about small manga Ive been enjoying, but I just have no clue how to treat it or what to write, some help would be greatly appreciated even if its not answering any of the questions directly.

Related, if someone has any guides on hand, or books, even if they are for other kinds of media, could you please tell me about them?

Delinquent manga is an interesting genre and one of my favorites, there can sometimes be really funny works, like Angel desnsetsu or Kyou kara Ore wa!! , on the other hand there are some that are really good for the fighting Holyland

There are also a similar genre in manwha, although their stories tend to be a lot less romanticized and more about bullying and close ties to adult gangs.

So what are some delinquents manga/manwha you personally like?

 

I'm kind of curious on which platforms are most popular on this community or if someone still tracks things manually.

 

So I downloaded the extension and started creating events, but I noticed the notes created appear in the general graph but are all disconnected, is there a way to make the plug in add a tag automatically to the notes it creates?

Alternatively, another way would be to add a template to all notes created or put into a folder so that the tag is inserted, is there any way to do this using any plug in?

I just want all my calendar notes to have a central connection so that they don't disperse.

Any solution is appreciated even if its different to what Im asking for as long as it links everything (or makes them all disappear from the graph)

 

Im talking about sports like air gear competitions or like "Keijo", only thing that matters is that the author has made a sports with rules, be it something completely impossible to play like magic sports or just something that isn't played in real life but could perfectly be done.

It doesnt have to be the main focus of the story. It can be like what Quidditch is to Harry Potter, just one of many parts. Also, it doesn't matter how much it takes from real life as long as it is clearly a different thing. (it could be a variation of an existing sport as long as the ruleset is not real)

Having said all that, what are some fictional sports in manga you like?

 

With the Pokemon manga being the only good video game based manga I can remember, I wonder, are there any other really good mangas that take video games as their source?

 

Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?

I'm asking because today Vlemmy seems dead and people are speculating it has something to do with losing the domain name. So I want to know if there is a possibility the same server could come up again under a different domain but keeping the same accounts and content stored or if they will need to set up a new server and thus it's just better to move on to another instance.
