Well, "shorthand for favorite female character" I can get behind, but as for the other definitions... I can't really say I can really put any characters under that category, because typically, all the characters I'm heavily invested in, I already ship them with other characters! Inserting myself...

What exactly is a waifu anyway? I don't really understand :/

The EP says that memes are supposedly exempt from the directive, and things like memes are supposedly safe "for purposes of quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody and pastiche". Though critics say that algorithms aren't smart/nuanced enough to recognize if something is fair use or if...

Speaking of political correctness, that reminds me of the time the Roslyn .NET compiler repository tried to replace all instances of "whitelist" in the code base: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/3507 big oof

I'd assume that it's similar in principle to the core ideas behind the Wikipedia close paraphrasing guidelines. This site already operates in a legal grey area, so I think we'd really prefer to avoid stepping on the toes of the official publishers, and plagiarizing their translations would...

@Sem @Kaarme on the other hand, it was only in 1847 that we discovered that it's a good idea for doctors to sterilize their hands with chlorine lime (i.e. not just soap and water) before poking around inside a pregnant woman's body. And the immediate medical community response to this assertion...

Example 3. https://mangadex.org/title/6191/swing-girl It's tagged as "futanari" on MangaUpdates and Dynasty Reader, so idk. (btw I liked this one; it's nice to have a non-smutty futanari story for once)

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN Reverse Turing Test:

Typosquatting is so shady :/ It's all in good fun if the website is upfront about it not being the real thing, though. This was fun.

So, meanwhile in Brexit news... To recap: Two years ago, following a Leave vs. Remain referendum that resulted in a slim 52% Leave majority, Theresa May invoked the EU leaving process specified in Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. The UK is scheduled to leave at 11pm UK time on Friday, 29 March...

Yes, better i18n support would be nice. The same thing could be said for Bookwalker: it'd be nice to be able to link to both the Japanese page and the English (global) page. I think this is planned. Related threads: - #52708: Make the "Official English" link stand out more - #57993: Include...

Somewhat relevant: Mods from various anime subreddits put this together in response to the reddit situation: "An Open Letter on the State of Affairs Regarding NSFW and Underage Depictions of Fictional Characters on Anime/Manga Subreddits"

@dankdevice I believe that has to do with trademark, not copyright, which is slightly different. That name replacing thing is a common thing in media, not only in Japan :^)

If author pages get implemented, I think it'd be nice to have all the author/artist links on the author page, to reduce duplication of effort. As an example, Danbooru is pretty good with this (example: Nakatani Nio). Of course, some manga have their own dedicated Twitter accounts and whatnot...
