Tori Kissa! - Vol. 5 Ch. 20 - Date

[Oured]

I don't see how making it a trap was in any way relevant. Just for the social commentary, I guess.

 

[MonsieurWeeb]

Thank you for the update

@Oured So long as people still say things like that and use the word "trap"? Yes, it is relevant.

 

[MidnighTea]

Using "trap" to describe an otokonoko character (such as that bird) is the quickest way to get the cold shoulder from any trans friends you might have or could make. To that community it evokes the specter and fears of trans panic hate crimes. If one isn't familiar, those are crimes of violence perpetrated against trans people when their birth sex is revealed to someone who was prior attracted to them. Sadly many aren't as openhearted as Oshido.

 

[Beregorn]

we could discuss whether he is actually a trap, since he honestly didn't know his gender, but that would be pointless, since the whole chapter was built solely for the MENdarin duck pun...

 

[Benjababe]

As long as they're cute why does it matter? Also boipussy

 

[Shita-kiri_Suzume]

@Beregorn The point wasn't whether he is one or not, it was people using the word in the first place.

 

[No1Kenkaku]

Someone please finish this series already! I'd do it myself if I weren't busy, and knew Japanese. And weren't lazy...

 

[Samhill]

Are the three sparrows' hairstyle a reference to anything?

 

[Thiron]

I wonder, in this universe, can different species of avians have kids anyway?

 

[BakedBanana]

That plot twist with the bird trap actually got me! This chapter was already great but that makes it even better. (Page 22)

 

[te-kun]

Well that was a very American chapter.

In America they would be cousins

Be my miso soup!
