I don't know, but there's a difference with consuming content in FANZA as a private hobby compared to crossdressing as a public hobby for people to see, which seems like a fetish to me.
This whole chapter the mangaka just built a strawman to justify crossdressing as a public hobby.
Comparing drinking alcohol to crossdressing is just weak to me as well. I'm fine with that hobby as long as you keep it to yourselves like porn consumption. I don't need to know what you're into.

I hope he's a good brother to him now. Wishing we knew what did they discussed.

Congratulations, you have the exact mindset of the brother in this chapter.

Yeah, kinda lame the resolution was off screened for the sake of a reveal after the fact.

That was surprisingly a very good chapter. I love how Subaru was able to stand up for himself and the people he cares about. Bro is very toxic masculine but they were able to openly argue and at the same time still listen to the other person.
That was a very healthy argument I've ever seen in a manga for a while.

iirc, someone said there's only a few chapters left, so that's probably why they had to chop off the true heart to heart section

We're all entitled to our opinions, for example, my opinion is that people like you would be better off not existing.
Yamada Kintetsu once again proving she's got interpersonal communication down to pat. Really refreshing to see communication that's reflective of reality, shame the rest was off screened but seeing Subaru's turnabout and the respect gained by his brother from it was really nice.
Proud of my boy, he's come so far.

Having this kind of conversation with someone like this and it NOT ending with a completely burnt bridge? I know this is fiction, but there's only so much my disbelief can be suspended.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the MC, but as someone who's bared witness to this kind of scenario a few times, this is some serious wish fulfillment, possibly more than any isekai could ever be. It is a nice wish, though, isn't it?
Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. This was a great chapter from a great series. I'm just saying...y'know?

I'm gonna confront the editor who imposed this chapter deadline. This story can absolutely benefit from a slower pacing, and I too would've loved to read the brotherly argument. Though with how plastered they seemed to be, it'd probably read like two drunks rambling.

Take note that his brother was intoxicated while he was convincing him of his proclivities. His brother's judgment was most likely clouded thanks to the alcohol. Let's see how they force crossdressing though...

Me reading the crossdressing manga: can't believe this author is forcing crossdressing...
I don't think it is that unbelievable. It is possible to have diverging opinions and not burn bridges. We don't need to be so polarized by our opinions to the point of going to war over them. Certainly, some will burn bridges over political, religious or other views, but others will be willing to compromise and let some things slide in order to coexist and, honestly, the latter is a better attitude.
Sure, the brother is quite conservative, has a certain view on what it means to be manly and thinks that crossdressing is disgusting but he's also always known that Subaru wasn't all that manly and he does have a view that family should support and be honest with each other. It makes sense for him to, after having talked about it at length and realising he's not going to change Subaru's mind, just let it slide. I mean, Subaru isn't doing anything illegal, he's just dressing funny according to convention and conventions are arbitrary.
I'm curious to see how Subaru's own wedding would go, as I would expect that he would also want to be in a wedding dress.
While some can have a fetish for crossdressing and experience sexual arousal, others do it for other reasons. Subaru doesn't have a fetish; he's not getting sexually aroused in public.
Well, if you're a man and not a muslim, you may want to convert to Islam and move to a muslim country. That way you can cover up your wife in a hijab and other men's wives will be covered in hijabs so you won't need to know what they're into and they won't know what you're into.
I don't need to know what you think about this chapter, but what world would we live in if that's how we thought and couldn't express ourselves in public?
I don't really know why you believe that crossdressing has to be a fetish, nor why you believe that someone wearing clothes and not doing anything immoral can't go out in public. What about tattoos, piercings and other dressing styles that are outside of the norm? I personally find tattoos to be ridiculous; you make your body into a billboard and you display, in an essentially permanent manner, your dubious tastes. But I don't care if others do it and it's the same with crossdressing - what is it to you?
Obviously, drinking alcohol and crossdressing aren't the same. Alcohol is a poison that your body can break down (and don't tell me it's fine in small quantities, try that with a pregnant woman and see how that works out) and impairs your judgment, so it's way worse. (Don't get me wrong, it's helpful to be able to consume alcohol since you can consume fruits that have rot a bit, and adding alcohol to drinks can make it safer which was pretty necessary throughout our history, but we don't need it nowadays.)
How about smoking? That's something acceptable that people do in public that should be banned. Smoking is horrible for your health, and you can't keep it to yourself so when you're doing that in public, you're a health hazard for others.
You're free to think crossdressing is a fetish which shouldn't be done in public but I think you're silly.

eh, his previous work was also regarding fetishes/fobias/personal quirks basically, and it didn't feel as forced as this one.
but it all depends on mind framework of reader, some will see it normal, some not. Target audience definitely a bit smaller this time around.
After all it's quite way more specific thing which seems enough to make people start wishing other readers didn't exist, cause wishing harm over different opinions is modern internet hobby.
I read this manga cause I liked previous author work and good character writing, setting is kinda irrevelant personally, but it certainly a bit less fluent reading experience, I'm not looking forward for new chapters as much as previous work.
