Zenophilious reacted to Mephisto in Racism
/thread
There's some fancy arguments that you can't not be racist. I won't post them here to avoid walls of text, but it's not something I wouldn't particularly worry about unless there is hate crime involved.

Zenophilious reacted to Aniki in tell me Japan is joking

Did you even read the entire article?
The new law does not include the banning of anime and manga that feature explicit scenes of children, after lawyers and publishers argued that censoring the materials would curb free speech.

Zenophilious reacted to Zalor in Is it ok to be a "gentleman?"
Actually just to be a bit of a technical asshole knights do still exist. Anyone with "Sir" in front of their name has been knighted. From my understanding knighthoods are no longer hereditary, but if you are an English citizen and you accomplish something great you can receive a knighthood. For example Paul McCartney got knighted and his proper name ever since was Sir James Paul McCartney. Sorry I'm just obsessed with hierarchical structures and had to say this.
On to the actual topic: I have had some really awful conversations with some radical feminists in my school and I learned two things from those conversations. 1) To avoid the topic as much as possible, and 2) Their crazy. Almost everything is seemingly sexist. -.-
My actual views on Chivalry is that I think its good. I generally act courteously and I think people appreciate it sometimes. In fact since most people don't give a shit, it actually helps me stand out a tad bit.
Also,
Please explain.

Zenophilious got a reaction from LiquidShu in Is it ok to be a "gentleman?"
I had a classmate go on a rant once about how every man that ever opened a door for a woman, regardless of the situation, was a chauvinistic, sexist pig that deserved to be castrated. The same girl said that she hated man haters because they made feminists look bad lol Didn't even see the irony.
See, the Catch 22 is, if you do things like that for women, you're viewed as being sexist, but then if you let them do it for themselves all the time, people think you're a lazy, inconsiderate jerk. You can't really win in that regard. Not denying that polite actions, when in regard to women, are usually rooted in sexism and the belief that men are superior, but really, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. More people need to realize that being a feminist ≠ being a misandrist. The definition of feminism is "equality for both genders", not "women are more equal than men". That's from Animal Farm. I'll be happy when things like this stop being issues. They really don't matter as long as there's no ill will behind the action.

Zenophilious reacted to Okami in How is the Visual Novel Talk section doing?
I don't think that there is any problems with this section, true I do have one suggestion that could improve it, and that is to make a sub section inside VN Talk for VN recommendations.

But...Amane's bad end makes a line in her good end even more powerful...it's pretty damn good, if I say so myself. Definitely more than worth the ~6 minutes it took me to read.

Zenophilious reacted to Nosebleed in ...Anyone notice this?
According to them, yes.
Because i'm sure 12 year olds really want to read a visual novel about stuff they can't relate to (unless there's 12 year olds piloting gliders nowadays and I've just been living under a rock)

Ok, I know that MoeNovel are a bunch of retards, but the amount of sheer stupid in this... thing, is still extraordinary. XD

Guys he said iTunes meaning he's referring to the mobile version which requires you to use a point system to advance.
Check the app store
As expected from MoeNovel. I kind of chuckled at how ridiculous this got.
Requires internet access at all times? Seriously?
Also
Oh man 30 new lines! And for error messages! Such new content!
