After the events of "Truth or Dare", Pomni and the crew respond to Jax's recent close call with abstraction. Though they show their support, will it be enough to convince Jax to change his ways and begin following a new path?

Best character. She's so funny.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

Easily the funniest set of panels in the entire manga.

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

[status-quo-hater]

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

when people argue against a transfeminine reading of ranma, they often argue against the idea that ranma currently during the story sees himself as a girl, and thats just not how anyone who reads ranma as transfem thinks of that reading. ranma doesnt actively think of himself as a girl, but he is also someone whos parents decided when he was a child that he will be a pillar of masculinity or kill himself, and while he may not have known of about the suicide part, he was raised by a misogynist and being constantly on the move left him pretty isolated. Ranma is also someone not very aware of and, even when he is, not very honest about his emotions. you see it in how he struggles and refuses to express his feelings for Akane, or in how he has to filter his friendship with Ryoga through the language of rivalry.

And despite all of that, he just so obviously has fun when hes a girl, in ways he doesnt as a guy. Hes no less comfortable fighting as a girl than as a guy, but he doesnt let himself be as vulenrable with Akane as a guy, and he only has like three outfits as a guy but past the first time Nabiki and Kasumi dress him up as a girl, he doesnt hesitate to dress up as a girl on his own. Even when he is trying to cure his curse, he still has fun as a girl. When he and Shampoo did the Kew-Pid sisters bit to get the water proof soap from Ryoga, Ranma had way more fun doing that than Shampoo.

Which brings me to the second point often brought up against Ranma being transfem. He does try to cure his curse, but id argue trying to rid yourself of femininity that you obviously enjoy so that you can better perform the role of masculinity expected of you is a fairly common transfeminine experience.

and thats not even getting into how the various gengered ways much of the cast (mis)treats ranma is, intentionally or not, just how people treat trans women. id agrue its most blatant with Happosai. Happosai refuses to take Akane as a student because he will only take male students. His previous students, Genma and Soun, tried to bury him alive after years of being treated as his punching bags and lackeys and being forced to clean up his messes. Many of those messes are Happosai constantly harassing and assaulting women in various ways, which now includes all of the Tendo girls. Ranma gets abused both ways by Happosai.

Even if Ranma isnt textually a trans woman, he, whether intentionally or not, represents one.

Something that I've never really seen anyone else really talk about is how Herb, who has the same curse as Ranma and is actively ashamed and repulsed by his female from, produces significantly weaker ki when in his curse form, almost like a tangible example of his spirit being out of sync with his body.

Ranma doesn't have this problem. Aside from having a shorter reach, his female form is treated as just capable as his male one. Food for thought.

Why aren't there a million fanfictions that have Asa & Yuru and Ed & Al swap series?

[galileosballs]

I really love the detail in Yomi no Tsugai/Daemons of the shadow realm that - until she figured out the village's deal was more of a Truman Show thing, Nagisa straight up thought she had been isekaied

Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming 😴

[grandquest]

Love these idiots

[superdqgalaxy]

I like to imagine that whenever Genma thinks back to when he convinced Nodoka to let him raise Ranma on his own so that he'll grow up to be a "man amongst men", he goes "God that was so fucking stupid, what was I thinking holy shit"

For the trans Jax theory.

I love thinking of Transfem jax. HOWEVER, no matter Jax's gender, Gangle should and has every right to hit her with a truck
