Seconding the otome comment, and a link to a relevant tag on vndb - you can probably find anything from not very sexualized to pure smut on that list, and there's often screenshots. https://vndb.org/g542

The fact that it happens at all is honestly baffling though. The anti-woke crowd absolutely plays it up (or more likely just gets fed sensationalized headlines and never verifies them) beyond its actual scope, but mostly it's just the crown on top of a lot of general low quality localization. Which isn't even necessarily the localizers fault, as from what I know they were often overworked and had very little time to translate, or were missing the visual context.

The recent scandal with the game yunyun syndrome is the worst I know of, but I vaguely recall some obviously politically motivated changes in meaning in anime subs. It's not made up, but it's really just one particular expression of a wider issue with tl quality.

Being bad at identifying faces with features you don't commonly see isn't racism, it's inevitable. Also some people are just bad at identifying faces even if they're not fully face blind.

I hated public bathrooms as a kid (still kinda do but a bit less so), so I regularly went 12+ hours without.

4500 a month for housing is insane, is rent actually that bad in the US? I could rent a villa for that.

You are also missing private retirement funds though (and if car dependent 100/month seems very low for transit costs)

Imma be real calling content creators "greedy assholes" for taking sponsors that are the only way to make it financially viable other than patreon while expecting to consume their content for 0 just sounds like peak entitlement

Unless you do actually support creators directly in which case go ahead. And I do in fact recommend just not watching people that you judge to actually be greedy assholes, never once regretted that.

If no one is missing those children, that's not good reason to believe she kidnapped them at all. I want the children to be happy, and regardless of genetics taking them from the parents that raised them into a foster home will just damage them (unless parents are just very abusive)

Corrupt power abusing cops aren't exactly rare nor do they have any bearing on the country of finland as a whole. And using the US of all places as a positive example in that case is just ludicrous. I have no reason to doubt you were wronged, but that also doesn't mean shit for how the average person feels about their life.

Gathering the data in one easily accessible spot is still doxxing. Most doxxing info is just gathered through publically available data. Often harder to connect than just going through someones post history, but that is still easily on the side of morally fucked up.

It's the equivalent of grooming. So yes, it is morally questionable. But so is every "training someone to do a thing". People just accept it with animals as long as in the end the animal seems fine, because it's only ever about what seems normal and not about the actual impact. And I'm not saying it's all a horrible moral crime, just that it's a large grayscale and can't be painted as good or bad blankly.

Doing that to random wild animals for no reason does feel rather fucked up to me because until the end point (which in that case is likely just the realization that there's no danger) it puts the animal under a lot of stress. Not to mention the potential issues with wild animals losing their fear of humans.

So true we should ban everything that someone finds slightly creepy, even if it hurts absolutely no one and is clearly a fairly common thing. We should especially put it on the same level as doing things that irreparably ruin lives!

Isn't that mostly just reverse engineering though? The tools for doing that are available, hence why open source support for phones exist at all, the technology is just a lot more complex.
