This is vaguely disappointing to hear, though 28 chapters isn't awful for a romcom. It's just that, this is the first time I've seen the "cheeky"/"mesugaki" archetype played out in a serialized manga and it doesn't descend into porn.
still doing the philosophizing on whether Nagatoro counts
Your apology involves an inversion of cause and effect.
The "looking down on the people around [me]" "out the gate", was me criticizing people for peacocking about how much they hate slavery and the trope as it exists (in abundance) in modern fantasy manga, knowing full well they were never...
This is a banal condescension that borders on a muddle of words, that's groping for a reason to still paint me in the wrong, after you repeatedly insisted I must be pro-slavery. You accuse me of lackings I manifestly don't have, and logically can't have if I (according to you) can understand and...
Apart from the fact that-- in the context of a discussion of a work of otherworld medieval fantasy fiction-- their moral peacocking* is ostentatious and directed towards people that already agree with them, and is meant to establish themselves as "regular"/"good" people rather than make a point...
This is laughable. I explained to you several reasons and you choose the one you think is most convenient, trying to poetically twist what I said in an unfunctional way.
He's referencing something you said, that I responded to, that has retained full relevance even to now only because you...
What the hell does that have to do with anything? I'm not arguing about quoting you. Did you read me asking you if I criticized you FOR quoting me? Not if I quoted you. Not if I criticized you. No, if I criticized you FOR quoting me. No.
I'm saying that you quoted something I said and then gave...
Yes, for human beings.
Yes, for human beings-- elves in this setting apparently digivolve when they become 30.
It's perfectly reasonable to think of it that way if they're a sapient life form that can live in human society and operate as humans do, and yet may not be normatively able to behave...
It's like you can't read sufficiently. Did I criticize you for quoting me? No, I criticized you for quoting what I said and then making a response that ignores what you quoted me saying.
...no, I talked about the reality of hypocrisies and complexities inherent to the moral code of any...
It makes no sense to equate his willing ideological self-slavery, and the suffering that results from both that and his inability to speak up about his being abused, with this elf girl's forced chattel slavery.
It literally does. It objectively does. I explained and contrasted the circumstances...
He wasn't "treated as a slave". He was bullied by everyone except Yuki-- because they were doing it behind her back-- and it continued because he bore it, and he bore it because he valued his being in a party with his childhood friend Yuki, in addition to really thinking himself to be...
You quoted me making reference to the cruelties of slavery, and you think it's appropriate to ask me why I like slavery?
This is the exact thing I meant in my comment. You made that logic jump because you're peacocking. You're doing so very inefficiently, but you're doing it all the same...
But the author doesn't need that out. She could actually be a child loli, and the 16 years old Dion could be encroached upon by her (he wouldn't do the pursuing anyhow, let's be for real), and they'd still be able to print that to an audience that would probably eat that up. Actually, how old is...
