I watched it about 5 years ago and I remember my fav being Sayaka! Homura was cool as well

>>35547
Starting off by saying I only watched the series, none of the movies and stuff. Sayaka gets overlooked a lot, she was written so well. She's realistic and relatable to adult life in a way the most anime characters aren't.

>>35548
I agree with you about Sayaka being overlooked, I feel like she's such a tragic and well-written character. I have cried at a movie or tv show maybe 2x in my life and Sayaka's death was one of those times. It's just so sad to me how she tries so hard to be a good person and gets punished for it. Also, I found her experiences with misogyny relatable, especially as a woman who was teased by boys a lot as a girl. I related pretty strongly to all of the characters when I watched the show as a middle schooler. I think that Homura's internalized homophobia in the rebellion movie was pretty interesting, I think her overwhelming self-hatred makes her a nice counterpart to Madoka's all-loving nature. Also I hope that in the next movie they have more of Kyouko, I feel like she was underexplored.

The other time I cried was when I watched Paddington 2 in theater, that movie was far better then it had any right to be.

OMG A new madoka magica trailer! They really are working on the movie! Do you guys think it will be good?

He didn't even @ her. What a coward.

Trump is such a scumbag

Kamala is pro-censorship, pro-troon, pro-corporation, pro-big pharma, a zionist, anti-gun. It's embarrassing that she gets touted as a "leftist" by the right. Our other option is a a retarded misogynist. Anyway, I'm voting for RFK Jr and dreading the next 8 years under kamala.

>>35616
Didnt RFK JR drop out?

>>35617
Yeah you're replying to a retard

>>35528
How did you do this?

I'm trying to set up sillytavern but with a local llm so everything is private. wish me luck

>>35544
its super easy just use Vidu.
>https://www.vidu.studio/create
All I did was upload my bing stuff and a simple prompt like 'standing, hair-blowing-in-wind'

results can be surprising like this one suddenly turning into a realistic looking person. Also I think it costs money but there's a free amount of credits.

>>35427
would it be too out of place to ask what prompt you used for this pic?

I'm a yumejo, and even I got mad when I read a fanfic about my husbando being dommed by another guy, and that guy turned out to be an FtM tranny. NSFW content of my husbando is already rare as it is, so even though I believed in trannyism at the time, I still was upset. I obviously prefer the idea of my husbando being dommed by a female character than a male one, but this shit ain't it, especially since I like the character that was transed and it just doesn't feel right to portray him as a female "man". I wouldn't even have minded a genderbend because then I know what to expect and I would've probably been more into it than M/M. And this particular fic was extremely focused on the transed character's vagina, making sure you didn't forget this was a MANLY MAN with a pussy. It was horribly written, too. kek

It just reeks of wanting to self-insert "but not really". Just make your damn mind already, Aiden. Either you want to write about two pre-established men (AKA males with dicks) fucking, or about your husbando licking your most certainly female pussy. They don't give a shit about the character they're transing, they just project their own desires and personalities onto them and pretend to be writing for better, more moral reasons than pure self-indulgence.

Ok, so they're free to write whatever the hell they want for fun even if I don't agree with tranny shit. At least tag your self-insert cuntboy porn properly for the rest of us who expect a male character to have a dick in smut, it's common courtesy and basic etiquette.

>>33469
Me too. I find that fandom in general is too obsessed with shipping everything and everyone. Two characters that are obviously not set up to become a couple (age difference, canon love interests, incompatible sexualities, blood relation) form a strong friendship? Yeah they totally want to bang each other and the writers intended it. Sweet moment shared between the characters? Yeah, that's totally sexual tension. Fuck off, relationships that are not romantic or sexual also exist, and are exciting and beautiful in their own way. You can have an intense and complex relationship with someone without wanting to have sex with them. They're incapable of interpreting feelings and emotions in any other way.

anyone here read 'Manacled' the dramione fic? i have a few more chapters to go, i liked the mid flashbacks section but since it goes back to when hermione is in malfoy manor its a little boring for me

>>35472
can you link the fic?

A pet peeve of mine is phallic objects in lesbian fanfic. Found a seemingly decent femslash genderbent A/B/O fic but the female alpha was described as having broad shoulders, sturdy thighs, and 'she' had a dick when they had sex. What the hell is the difference between this and just straight up het? Shit like this tells me the authors don't know what's sexy about the female body.

Not as good as Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love

Is it? The going meme on /m/ is that toku has only two audiences: little boys and housewives.

>So many male dominated fandoms would become much better if it had a majority of women. I wonder if others feel that way
You only think that so that it will appeal to female interest instead of male
Best case would be a split of 50/50 so everyone can have something they want

>>35605
I have no personal interest or desire in tolerating men's wants in media. It brings the quality and enjoyment down.

>>35605
>You only think that so that it will appeal to female interest instead of male
Woooow, really? No shit.
Most things appeal to more moids one way or another. Creators are more afraid of angering their male audience than their female audience. They know that women have been conditioned into consuming shit that was made only for men, but moids rarely consume media that is exclusively for women unless they find a way to fap to the female characters.

>>34801
>The entire anime fandom in general is full of troons or what could basically be classified as psychologically troon adjacent men
True, see picrel.
>>35201
>their favorite characters are based on who's the hottest
Hottest according to fanart btw, they don't seem to even know what the characters look like in canon
>I'm glad to have the western touhou fandom
It's the Eastern fandom too kek a huge amount of porn is drawn by Asian scrotes who also don't play the games. Though I do agree that probably because it's harder to play the games outside Japan + the recent western trend of zoomers not consuming the actual media and just reading other people's headcanons and memes, they're more common here.

>Yuuka's schtick of being a woman who's both extremely powerful but also at peace with herself, of being someone who likes to mess with people and to make herself look scarier than she actually is gets turned into some sadist shit.
>Tenshi's personality of being an immature girl who's looking for thrill and entertainment gets her portrayed as a masochist.
>Aya's whole life is a constant struggle against her hierarchical society and trying to keep her newspaper afloat, her grasping at straws and twisting the truth just so she can get something to put in there… gets completely sidelined and she's shown as a pervert.
>Sanae's insecurity about her own job position, her cowardice in the face of her own gods when she has ambitions to be worshipped just like them, her geeky interest in the things that she left behind in the outside world and the sheer amount of fun she has pretending to be the main character of her own story… nope, not even acknowledged. She's either an idiot or promiscuous.
So many Touhou fandom personalities are so pornbrained. Males are such simple-minded beings.

Does anyone else notice how many typing mistakes and formatting errors pirated ebooks have? I almost regret getting a Kindle because most pirated epubs suck. I'm only going to read scanned PDFs now. I just wish there was a way to read PDFs in e-ink to reduce eye strain.

>>34012
You can read PDFs on the kindle, or at least on mine, you just can't change the font size. Have you tried using IRCHighway to get pirated ebooks? They typically have really good epub & mobi formats in the #ebook channel. A lot of times they have the official mobi files from amazon just cracked. If you see .mobi or .azw3 it is specifically for the Kindle and probably just taken off of Amazon. There is also libgen.is but I think everyone knows that and it doesn't have epubs for a lot of books.

I pirate but I do feel bad sometimes
Unless it's really really hard to find or if it's ridiculously overpriced, then I don't feel bad

I pirated Duolingo premium and now I breeze through a million lessons a day, I can only recommend it. The free version is a pain and even the premium is more of a game than a real studying tool so you might as well

Her music sucks so bad. She’s just rupaul inspired Taylor Swift to me.

I hate the nipple piercing through the t shirt. I hate it. It’s even worse since she’s like 40 now. It would be repulsive on someone of any age though.

>Country Music Awards snub
>Black women in country have been denied legitimacy by the industry they’re so firmly a part of
I'm kind of surprised this article doesn't mention Tracy Chapman; there was an upset over her being the first black person to win a CMA award for song of the year, in 2023, for a song she released in 1988- because a white moid made a vastly inferior cover of her song that took off. Of course she still won Grammy awards in 1989, so I admire Tracy for staying fairly grounded and authentic for the most part as a music artist. I don't doubt that the CMA and country fans have lower standards for white male artists (seriously, compare the original vidrel to this Grammy-nominated/CMA award-winning cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7oYjnt3bM)

Reading the article, it rings hollow to me because it feels more like a Beyonce shill post by a stan and all the musings (about the exclusion of black women in country) are in service of the shilling. Even when they bring up other black women country artists, it's to imply their success rests on Bey's shoulders. I could not care less about a ceo millionaire who owns 32 grammies and 3 companies being invalidated by the Country Music Association KEK. The article's message is undermined by the fact that they don't show actual appreciation for black country artists beyond merely mentioning their names, that they were on Bey's album, and that they got more streams thanks to Bey. These artists have other albums of their own too you know, that released in 2023-2024.
Not to mention this is her first time doing a country album. "Beyoncé’s quest for legitimacy in country music has long been documented" and yet she waited nearly 2 decades and 7 albums to do so. It's cool that she's experimenting and brought on a bunch of country artists, but the black artists who did get nominated(The War and Treaty) have actually been in the country scene from the beginning of their career. Listen to their album Lover's Game vs Cowboy Carter and you can tell which one feels more genuine.
