anyway the tl;dr or all this is that it is not a moral flaw for you as a western lesbian to like the same thing that a straight japanese man likes

although obvs I’m not leaving a ton of nuance for the overlap in fandoms for certain things like magical girls (and I do mean “pure” magical girls outside of magical girl deconstruction series), or something like golden kamuy

I can like mushoku tensei or rance or youjo senki or random eroge in a queer way without trying to insist that the intention is for them to exist in a queer way. Does that make sense?

there are actually a lot of straight man-targeted things I really like and it is not a moral flaw for me to enjoy them even though I am not a straight man, nor do I need to pretend I am the ~secret~ true intended audience in order to justify my enjoyment

this is about people claiming that love live and umamusume are for lesbians and being upset or confused that straight men like them and it’s like. ???? What are you talking about

I want so desperately to like it because it’s interesting conceptually! but goooooooood is it horrid to actually read

Horrorstör - fun concept, fun presentation, poor execution. More style than substance. Banking hard on “teehee ikea”

My Best Friends Exorcism - ADORED this, captures the nuances of adolescent girl friendships so well. Brought me to tears. But this might have just been a flash in the pan 😔

will give southern book club a chance since that seems to be his most popular one but I might need to accept that grady hendrix is not for me

YES I bought doc martens for me and rei but also YES they are japan exclusive ones thankyouverymuch

so many of those baffle me because I know the exchange rate is (currently) great for americans but why are you going to japan to go buy american brands or just otherwise non-japanese things
