The power of garlic compels you!
found the KYM entryWas it? I didn't know that.
Of course Japan doesn’t have the “Over 9000” meme, because Japanese Vegeta said “over 8000”.The Japanese really like the Yamcha death joke, don't they? Whereas we have a power level, OVER 9000!?
Thanks. Corrected.Pg 4, bottom right panel - the sweet treat after a meal is "dessert" with two S's.
this might just be me being extremely cynical and naive but in modern times a some of the struggles that women face sounds to me like "first world problems" in comparison to what men have to deal with:Don't wanna start a whole debate about it, but being a woman still comes with a lot of nasty downsides. Even in developed countries ladies have got it rough.
I'm not saying those aren't serious issues, but it's pretty unhinged to dismiss the struggles women face as just "first world problems".this might just be me being extremely cynical and naive but in modern times a some of the struggles that women face sounds to me like "first world problems" in comparison to what men have to deal with:
look I am not a misogynist, I don't hate women or anybody else, I despise bigotry in every form, I just wish people took EVERYONE's struggles seriously, that's MY wish: for everybody to be at piece with each other, yes that sounds very naive and I don't have the power to change things but I'm just so tired of the toxicity in the world
- Being falsely accused of r*** because a woman thinks your ugly or whatever and EVERYONE immediately believes them and you get fired from your job and everybody hates you and sends you death threats
- get r** as a LITERAL minor in the United States by a Adult female and she can get away with it and can SUE YOU FOR F*CKING CHILD SUPPORT WHEN YOU TURN 18(source: Hermesmann v. Seyer court case), yes you heard that right a man can be PUNISHED, yes PUNISHED for being a VICTIM of Child R*
- face literal misandry and everybody is perfectly okay with it
- get longer prison times in comparison to woman
oh and sorry for bringing all this up I know you didn't want to start a debate so I'm just gonna stop now
that's why I said "some" and like I said I might just be very cynical and naive, anyway we really should stop here, or else this entire comment section will be 1000 pages long filled with drama and I don't think anyone wants thatI'm not saying those aren't serious issues, but it's pretty unhinged to dismiss the struggles women face as just "first world problems".
And a fairy handles of the skincareNo wonder Junpei thinks being a girl is so cheap, they haven't had to deal with buying their own clothes yet.
why would Jun need to go back to being a guy for that? get yuripilledIf he ever goes back to being a guy, I ship those two together.For now.
That sucks. I get she is finalizing the new volume, but the new chapters have been taking longer to upload than usual. The underwear acceptance chapter is one i have been anticipating.I think it will just be a promo illustration for the new volume. Just like it was for the 1st volume.
Certainly not first world problems.this might just be me being extremely cynical and naive but in modern times a some of the struggles that women face sounds to me like "first world problems" in comparison to what men have to deal with:

I see, well thanks for your input, I didn't know that the rate of females who have been sexually assaulted was that high,Certainly not first world problems.
1 in 3 women has been victims of sexual violence, even in the US (WHO).
Women still perform a larger share of unpaid work (domestic work, for example), whilst still doing paid work (OECD).
Women still have disparities in how they are treated in healthcare, like pain bias, limited access to essential services and even research (as women are generally under-represented in clinical trials, despite being literally half of the population. Example study of this issue is Zuker and Prendergast, 2020), which is obviously a huge oversight which leads to decreased effectiveness in interventions and even misdiagnosis, which is obviously a HUGE gap in care.
Adding onto the health services part, even when women do have access to reproductive health care and services, most of the burden falls onto them, in terms of time, financial burden, physical health, mental burden and autonomy.
Whilst what you have listed is valid, and definitely super horrible, this really is a false equivalence (except for the last one you listed, because that consistently higher, compared to women) , because these issues are not systemic, population level issues that affect all men. The court case you mentioned is definitely worth discussing, because it is fucking disgusting, but is it really proof of a systemic issue that regularly punishes male victims on a national scale?
I think you could have mentioned how men have far higher suicide deaths, how men have now been falling short in terms of education, how fathers often lose custody, and how sexual violence against men and boys is not taken seriously. In general, your points were valid, but they needed to be framed differently (not men vs women, or the slight implication that society is anti-male), because the issues women face are complementary problems, where they often share the same root cause, but they are expressed differently and often mutually reinforce each other (i.e lack of affordable childcare makes it harder for women to work, which reinforces the idea that men should be breadwinners, which encourages riskier jobs and discourages caregiving roles). Also, whilst I did it as well, in general we shouldn't be treating men and women as monoliths, because these issues can be exacerbated by other parts of their identity, like their class, race, sexuality and disability.
Shit is hard, I hate wicked problems
I did mention that that court case was in the US, specifically Kansas, but after thinking about it, yeah I do agree with you on thatbut is it really proof of a systemic issue that regularly punishes male victims on a national scale?
yeah it probably is, I'm not an expert nor claim to be an expert, and even then I rarely research enoughWhilst what you have listed is valid, and definitely super horrible, this really is a false equivalence
yep definitely, I suck at this stuffIn general, your points were valid, but they needed to be framed differently
