I'm in Love with the Villainess - Vol. 7 Ch. 31 - Lily Lilium

This went from "haha magic lesbians" to "how to start a communist revolution and eat the rich"

technically, nobody knows what god "does" or "want" and nobody ever will because just his true nature is too far out human comprehension and as the bible says, only he can judge (obviously, keep it under context)

God doesn’t do shit since it isn’t real.

 

[Ichaivalrose]

Oh hey, a decent argument for what is basically "treat others with respect as fellow human beings, regardless of how weird you think they are".

Similar to real life, though in our case is a bit of the opposite problem. They are flaunting their "different" status with all the pride flags and different names and all that. If what they want is to simply be accepted, then what they are doing is counterintuitive imo.

To be accepted as normal means you are treated no more, no less special than others around you. So... Yeah. Very counterintuitive I say. At this rate it's going to be quite a long time until the alphabet people (forgot the name) to be truly accepted as a normal part of society.

U talk like if virginity was a person

the thing is, like many other things, it's impossible to prove god isn't real

Oh boy another manga author wanting to write about complex societal issues, I can't wait to see this medieval fantasy world suddenly become more progressive than the actual modern world. Think we'll get an arc at the end where Rei decides to become a manga artist because its just so cool to write manga???

This reads like a 4chan yuri thread on /a/

Keyword there is "fantasy." They're using magic and fighting undead pirate ships but you're caught up that they might be too socially progressive? That's always funny to me. At least be honest.

"its fantasy sweaty, anything goes" is an interesting perspective that I do not share. The reality of how gay and lesbian people were treated in medieval settings is so brutal that this Shapiro style "facts don't care about your feelings" argument with a nun feels absurd at best and actual mockery of the struggles they faced at worst.

You understand that these people were tortured horribly and killed, right? there was no "debate me bro". its not a funny cool plot point for my comedy romance manga to show off how progressive I am. it was an actual historic tragedy that took centuries to move past even slightly.

I'm sure you don't care though. I'm sure you wouldn't care if Rei built a plutonium reactor next chapter because "its fantasy" so why bother thinking about it for more than 2 seconds.

 

[BanzaiYuri]

I don't blame Lily, I'd fall for someone if I, were I in the minority allowing themselves to be ridiculed and insulted, saw them defending minority rights in the face of an ignorant majority. Though very glad to see we'll be investing more into how Yuri is over the general isekai plot.

As expected. You're fighting ghosts but I'm glad you got that rote argument off your chest since you clearly needed it. Might be a bit preemptive though.

That was deep

Also excited for the next one seems like things about to get complicated

Yeah so far this was done better than the pirate section, in my opinion. Plus now we have Lily and Claire's questioning of the world she comes from.

Things are starting to happen and we are getting closer to the

revolution

. Rei is so bold and I love that about her. Thanks for the translation

Fantasy genre depends a lot on where it's based off of. If it is Medieval Christian Europe, believing only God-fearing heterosexual white folk to be the chosen people of God to live upon the Earth, then yes Pride folk and just about anyone else will be targeted. However it is also to be said that specific fantasy subgenre doesn't entirely portray that. This manga, in the case of it, just shows the portion of homosexuality being viewed as an unnatural idea, wholly incapable of reproducing therefore it must be wrong.

Also, if you could kindly elaborate, rather than referring to us as "these people", do refer to us by what we refer to ourselves as. We refer Christians as Christians, not what I would rather call them.

We do care, fantasy is what a lot of folk love, be it through DnD or Manga, or wherever else. We're not gonna just accept it as a fantasy think if a modern idea is planted by an Isekai'd character, but is freedom that modern of an idea?

 

[mayu_hojo]

One thing to note in reading this is that this is a game world and a product of modern times that's an aesthetic recreation of high society than it is a faithful one. Granted there's some French revolution stuff going on but otherwise there's room to write in a more open minded society and progressive ideals overall. It is a fantasy, and there's gonna be more queer elements thrown into the mix as we progress down this story. Cause transgender arc here we go~

This isn't true, because all large religions that believe in one or multiple gods have guidelines of what is believed God wants, since they were allegedly written by envoys of their God/s

they were written in a very specific context by people who believed, there's a very simple word to describe why it happened: faith

 

[ultrabread]

This manga accidentally explores subtle implications of someone becoming isekai'd into someone else's body in another world. Crumpling up the original scripts and adding more depth into the characters than their typical flat archtypes. I like the contrasting characterization of Rei as single minded, selfish force versus Claire the selfless broadening horizons type who clearly is more of the central driver to the plot.

"as expected" well I'm glad I was spot on when I said you weren't going to think about anything for more than 2 seconds lmao

 

[kaptenkeren]

In real life...
Hete: "we respect you"
Homo: "Bow to us! We superior!"

Welp, media always shown chaotic homo. Very rarely lawful homo on screen.

Anyway about chapter... Always remember not do lovey dovey thing in public space. You'll be cursed by everyone around you. Lol
