I learned a long time ago to just not watch too much anime in general. Too much craziness with it. I like some of the classics like Cowboy Bebop, Slam Dunk and all that. Only more "modern" ones I've seen are Full Metal Alchemist, One Punch Man and Death Note. They're pretty quality stuff.
Wha the fuck? What has to be going through someones head to think that's an okay thing to say? Sorry you had to go through that.
It's a pretty good manga, but there is tons of rape. Somehow I doubt they'll be putting this much of an emphasis on the rape of Guts (the main character, also a guy).
Wouldn't put it past them. For a lot of media creators, rape is simply a thing that happens to women.

I just ignore the fandom and read the comic but I know what you mean.
Also, there's a lot of good stuff out there made by and for us ladies. You don't have to ignore manga or anime entirely. I suggest reading manga over watching anime though.

I saw like, one or two episodes of the Berserk anime some 15 years ago and thought it sucked, but never pursued.
But lately I've been interested in Berserk because of its influence on the Souls games and everyone saying how good the manga is and all that. Is the anime just a bad adaptation or something?
And I had heard there was rape, but that doesn't make it bad, it depends on how it's handled. For example, A Song of Ice and Fire handles it pretty maturely (not Game of Thrones IMO and I haven't even watched S5 which I hear is even worse...), as does the First Law series, for example. The scene Pau describes sounds horrific, however (and the reactions even more so), and is a perfect example of how not to do a rape scene in fiction. :\ So yeah now I'm definitely less interested if that's how Berserk handles its violent themes...

I'm getting a sudden influx of dudes prodding my OKC profile asking for nudes off the bat. It's getting a touch bit creepy. >.>
How the fandom's defense force been handling the scene and the game's marketing made me icky enough to stay the hell away, at this point. :|

I don't do that cause guys always fucking test call. He did too, and like I said he didn't open the doors ;(
Ugh. I don't even know what to say. That's so threatening and horrible.
I've read enough horrible stories from the ladies here in recent days to make me want to quit humans

My personal experience is kind of not too positive with guys here in Vancouver. So it is not you! Kind of shallow, I guess? Keep being awesome yourself.
Also Pau have you started piano lessons yet? You asked me about it before with some interests!

Pre-order the new Berserk game and get Casca's "super sexy" rape outfit.
Fucking video games.

I was out with my niece today. We were at a restaurant and she starting getting cramps so bad we had to pack up our food and go. Here's the kicker...
SHE'S NINE.
I feel so bad for her. :/ I guess she started her period a couple months ago and it just blows my mind. I know everyone is different and that it's not terribly unusual but man, that just seems unbelievably young to me. I had mine when I was 12 and that's about when I remember my friends getting theirs. I know I can't judge it based on that, but I have to ask, is this something that's a lot more common with kids born in the aughts?
I feel like an old person saying "back in my day" but the thing is, my day wasn't that long ago. I was born in 1990 and I don't think anyone my age that I knew was as developed as the kids I see nowadays. I feel bad for my niece not getting a couple more years of being a kid, especially since it seems to be particularly painful for her. My early teenage years were hellish, it wasn't until I was 16ish that things started to even out and become more tolerable.
Why we got to have animals this cute if I can't make them my pets? >:[[[[

Holy shit. I feel wicked bad for her; I was 16 when I got mine (kind of a late bloomer) and I can't even imagine getting it before hitting your teenage years.

omg the poor thing
i was 13 when i started mine and it was a weird and sad and angry period in my life where i realised i was really different from 50% of the world
period pain sucks so bad >___<
thankfully, i only get the physical stuff, my bestie turns into an emotional mess once every month and she already takes primrose extracts and everything to lessen the impact but she's still struggling every month

I felt terrible because I had Motrin in my purse but didn't say anything because I don't think kids her age can take it. Was out with her and my brother and he was kind of being a jerk about it. I wanted to slap the shit out of him. "This is the second time we've had to leave somewhere because of this." referring to he and his daughter.
If my eyes could shoot fire. I remember many times when I was younger, doubled over in pain or curled into a ball clutching a heating pad surrounded by people whose guts I wanted to rip out. There's nothing fucking worse than someone in your ear telling you it's not that bad or making you feel like you're inconvincing them.
My family and I had to leave Cedar Point because of it once. My brothers and my dad were all varying degrees of salty and my mom was the only one on my side not making me feel worse. :/

No I have not.
Part of my problem is that we don't really have room for a keyboard or anything in the apartment. That and I'm deciding between doing singing lessons, fancy gym membership, or the piano lessons. I think they'll have to wait until I graduate and have a more steady income.How are your lessons going?

I was ten when I first got my period, so I can relate to your niece. My cramps used to be so severe that I'd have actual seizures due to them.
When I was fifteen, I was put on birth control just to get rid of my period. I'm twenty now, and have been off birth control for the past two years and feel fine now. Still get periods, but light ones and rarely any cramps.
It sucks going through puberty at an early age, though. I used to bind my chest since I felt really embarrassed as the other girls were still flat chested, and people would always talk and stare.
I hope your niece will be okay, though. Does she take Midol or anything during these cramps?
Edit: I saw your other post about the Motrin. Next time your niece goes to the doctor, I'd bring up the cramp pains and see what can be done.

I don't think it's about "back in my day" vs now, unless there's evidence that it's more common to start so young today than it was before. But well, when I was a child, I knew a 9 year old girl who started her period at that age (this was in 1991 or so). And I know a girl who's about 8-9 years my junior, so about your age, who said she started when she was 9. Mine started at 14, so pretty typical if a bit later than average, I'd say. But yeah, it's rare but it can happen.
I doubt it. I know she made one post mocking a guy's avatar (quite rudely at that, not just gentle ribbing, but I still laughed because IMO he deserved it 100%
), which I don't think is allowed, so maybe she got a short time-out for that. Buuut that's only my speculation so take it with a grain of salt.Mineshaft_Gap

I just wondered if there's some connection with hormones in food and drinking water but I have to imagine it can't be much worse now than it was when I was a kid.

No I meant it more like you should be able to do what you want to do. Were you asking about our personal preferences / tastes? I just wasn't sure, sorry.
Personally I'm not a fan but it depends on how tight we're talking. Like, is it to the point where you can barely move or is there a little bit of room?
Do you have an example?
Yeah, I was asking for personal preference.

That mans chest makes me uncomfortable in a bad way. Do not want.
Tight clothes on guys does nothing for me at all. Well fitting clothes are ideal. Honestly, I feel like a guy (or gal, for that matter) who wears skin tight outfits in public is flaunting in a way that's kind of tacky. That's not to say I don't think it's cool to dress sexy (who doesn't like to look sexy from time to time?) I guess it's sort of a fine line. Some people wear stuff that makes you think they'd rather be naked if they could get away with it. It's like, we get it, you work out.
If guy who goes to the grocery store in a shirt like that is going to get the douchebag stamp from me right quick.
Shit. I say this as I'm wearing Lululemons and tank top. But it's different... somehow it's different.

Don't slut-shame those beautiful male sluts. Without their skin-tight clothing society would collapse and we wouldn't even have grocery stores.

See, this is perfect. You know what's going on under there but you don't need a skin tight shirt to illustrate it for you. Makes it all the more special when it comes off and all your wishes and dreams come true.
Guy in that pic is a douche. Probably named Brandon. I can tell. Also, what kind of sorcery is he using to hide his nipples in that shirt? If I wore a T-shirt that it'd be nipple city.

I don't like anyone who constantly dresses in a way that reminds people that they go to the gym. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of my body and I work hard to look nice but I think it's profoundly tacky to rub it in people's faces 24/7. You can be classy and sexy at the same time.
Off topic but I hate, HATE, the word slut. It brings back some of the darkest times in my life with being bullied in school. Maybe it's a lack of sleep and feeling overly sensitive but for some reason this post made me think about it.:[

Yeah that's way too tight for my liking. I prefer more form fitting, if that makes sense. There's a difference to me.
