People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Hentai isn't anywhere as niche as it used to be. I'd guess most millennials are aware of it.
Aware of it? We pioneered it!
Too true. I still remember the girls in Japanese/anime club in High School using Japanese words to openly talk about their yaoi hentai obsessions as if no one knew what they were saying.
Reading fanfics on Livejournal and Xanga, posting photos to tumbler and Photobucket.
Just cuz we know about it doesn't mean it ain't niche..
And quartz, of course
I remember going to uni and my friend told me he would share his "adult content" with me and he said he'd share his hentai with me but I couldn't 🍆 to it. Then my other roommate was like, what else are you supposed to do with it? follow the plot?
Yeah, I never expected a Scottish viewer on my video game stream to mention futanari. My Japanese ancestors would be proud to know how hard Japanese softpower is making people.
It wasn't even niche back in the dial up times.
