I decided t9 spend this evening cleaning my hive in an attempt t9 j9g the writers' 6l9ck I've 6een afflicted with. Alth9ugh residing in the dream 6u66les means I can simply c9njure my surr9undings h9wever I wish with a simple th9ught, I still find a sense 9f catharsis in 6eing a6le t9 d9 things manually, as it keeps 69th the mind and the 69dy in peak physical c9nditi9n. H9wever, my attempts t9 tidy my living6l9ck were quickly derailed when I reached my 699kshelf and f9und this very... c9l9rful example 9f East 6ef9ran literature, t9 put kindly. I d9n't even kn9w where it came fr9m. 96vi9usly it sh9uld g9 with9ut saying that this is deeply 9ffensive, and this n9vel makes a m9ckery 9f the very real struggles that 9ffspectrum and caste-atypical tr9lls have had t9 face in the past (9r present, depending 9n what iterati9n 9f 6ef9rus y9u are l9cated 9n in parad9x space). This manga plays 9n 9utdated and gr9ssly pr96lematic stere9types that depict 9ffspectrum tr9lls as 6eing particularly prudish, sex negative, and 6eing incapa6le 9f making inf9rmed decisi9ns a69ut their 9wn r9mantic interests with9ut the inv9lvement 9f c99ler6l99ded tr9lls. After all, 9ffspectrum tr9lls are regularly r966ed 9f aut9n9my via the 9utdated and frankly 6ar6aric practices 9f culling, which this manga gleefully ev9kes with9ut any c9nsiderati9n f9r the ways its negative depicti9ns 9f 9ffspectrum tr9lls may affect its readers. The pr9tag9nist is c9nstantly 6eing denied a chance t9 v9ice his (her? their? pr9n9uns unclear - an9ther area where this manga fails at pr9per representati9n) 9pini9n 9f the unf9lding situati9n. N9t t9 menti9n the way it f9rces its warm- and c99l6l99ded deuterag9nists int9 stere9typical p9siti9ns 9f their 9wn. Any p9ints t9wards pr9gressivism this manga *may* have sc9red f9r putting a 6urgundy6l99ded tr9ll in the rare p9siti9n 9f culler are immediately negated 6y putting her in the r9le 9f a sexual aggress9r t9wards the 9ffspectrum pr9tag9nist, calling t9 mind a l9ng, c9mplex, and shameful hist9ry 9f depicting warm6l99ded tr9lls as sexually de6ased and shamelessly pr9miscu9us, especially in c9mparis9n t9 the m9re "civilized" (n9te the scarequ9tes f9r #Sarcasm) sexual expressi9n 9f the s9cietal elites, ie., c99l6l99ds and sea-inha6it9rs. The 6urgundy6l99d is quite literally dem9nized; n9te the epithet 9f "dem9n" in reference t9 her relati9nship t9 the pr9tag9nist, and c9mpare that t9 the vi9let6l99ded "angel". If this manga had any c9nsiderati9n f9r its audience and wanted t9 treat its ficti9nal characters like real pe9ple and n9t just a vehicle t9 spread harmful, 69rderline fetishistic rhet9ric, the auth9r w9uld have instead de-emphasized the r9le 9f quadrant-9riented r9mance in these characters' lives. Instead, the three sh9uld have f9rmed a str9ng, plat9nic 69nd with 9ne an9ther, united 6y their shared interest in w9men's cl9thing. #The6u66lesW9rkInMysteri9usWays #6utSeri9usly #Wh9seIsThis #L99kingAtY9uMeulin #East6ef9ranCulture #East6ef9ranCulturalExp9rts #Manga #CullingMenti9n #6ef9ranCulling #Hem9n9rmativity #9ffspectrumDiscriminati9n #Hem9casteStere9types #AntiRec9mmendati9ns #MediaReviews
Then I w9uld ask said 6urgundy6l99ds why they feel the need t9 c9nf9rm t9 expectati9ns when there is s9 much pers9nal and spiritual satisfacti9n in 6eing a6le t9 deny what pe9ple try t9 unfairly imp9se up9n y9u. Pe9ple are m9re than just a list 9f traits inf9rmed 6y centurysweeps 9f pr9paganda, and t9 try t9 fit 9neself int9 said list 9f traits is t9 flatten a three-dimensi9nal individual int9 a self par9dy.

It isn't a rec9mmendati9n, it's an anti-rec9mmendati9n. As in, I d9n't rec9mmend this t9 any9ne, f9r all the reas9ns I listed a69ve. I 9nly read it 6ecause the auth9r failed t9 pr9vide any appr9priate warnings f9r 9ffensive c9ntent and I didn't want t9 assume anything 6ased 9n the title al9ne. I w9uld actually greatly prefer if y9u didn't waste y9ur time with this stere9type-laden drivel.
I have t9 agree with Cr9nus, these h9rns d9n't resem6le 9urs in the slightest. Y9u may n9t 6e a6le t9 tell 6ecause the title is 96scuring the artw9rk a 6it, 6ut if y9u refer t9 the textless versi9n, y9u'll see they are c9mpletely different.

Thank y9u f9r clarifying in y9ur tags, that was very helpful. (#Sarcasm) F9r y9ur inf9rmati9n, 6eing a virgin d9es n9t mean I am incapa6le 9f detecting and understanding innuend9. And I already have plenty 9f ways t9 pers9nally satisfy myself at hive. Perhaps if y9u did t99, y9u'd 6e less inclined t9 regularly de6ase y9urself.

I've 9nly read this 9ne, and n9t even all 9f it. 6elieve me, I have n9 intenti9n 9f diving int9 this w9rld 9f depraved ficti9n f9r any l9nger than I have t9. While I c9mmend y9ur eff9rts t9 familiarize y9urself with 6ef9ran stere9types, h9pefully f9r altruistic purp9se, which I will assume in g99d faith, there are far 6etters w9rks t9 d9 s9 with than this.
