I remember that mission, I saw a youtuber play it...boy was that girl crazy! XD Strangely enough, my sister actually has some Yaoi obsessed friends in real life.

I do have a friend like that too. It started already when we were in middle school. And everytime I heard someone complaining how young teenage boys were so horny all the time, I thought to myself, well, you haven't met certain teenage females then...

I just saw that Marie Rose picture you posted. OMG what have they done to her. I remember when I praised them for the lack of sexualization towards Marie and now she has underboob *shivers*. Yet again I have no problem with sexualization but I draw the line at Marie.

It seems everyone's known a crazy yaoi fangirl at one point I was friends with one as well back in highschool. She really over stepped the line though when she started shipping me with other people at the school.

we have a friend who was now in the military, who during a night of extreme drunkenness said that he shipped me and my best friend, i just about died laughing. i honestly consider it flattering when someone takes that much notice and in the end it ultimately means nothing so there is no reason to get offended the way i see it.

besides its mostly a involuntary thing, thinking two people go well together.

Yeah I guess she didn't really over step a line or anything it was more just weird. She wasn't the only one back in high school either so there must just be mobs of women obsessed with gay relationships.

I wonder then on the Japan side of things how obsessed the Japanese themselves are with yaoi and stuff or if its more western fans that are into it.

PS: Noticed this is getting off topic opps.

It's more of a Japanese thing, TV tropes said something about how westerners "hate tingle", and so it's relatively taboo over here, at least in my high school. I have been told once that I should be a cross dresser once, since this girl thought I had the body and face for it. XD

I was shoved into an anime club when I was in highschool by some friends and made two really good ones so it wasn't a total waste. But jesus christ all the girls were obsessed with yaoi and passed it around and traded it like crazy. There was even a thick book they called the "yaoi bible" they passed around. When I joined the club it was like

Did any of you see that yaoi episode of south park? Is2g it was just like that

Edit- oh and they did a lot of roleplaying in a book they'd pass around and write in and a lot of them used gay male characters

You should put it in a spoiler thing just in case though lol.
That dialogue sure is something. I can't lie though I'm liking the art.

R.I.P anyone that opened this page out in public.

My little revenge for you guys killing off my serious DOAX3 discussion and fanboying about yaoi. u__U

By the way what's it about Japanese and always referring to men over maybe 30 as "old men". It's a fairly often used trope in JRPG also.

Lol, sorry. Just think of it like we were having a serious conversation about gay culture and the sexualization that comes along with it.

On DOA though my thoughts are basically do what ever you want but stay away from Marie.

I'm not fanboying about yaoi, it's proving the point that male on male in games like tales is made for girls because it strongly appeals to them for whatever reason.

you can try, but DOAX is what it is and you cant even really discuss the design aspects of it as its just skimpy bikinis. nothing wrong with that but thats just what it is.

though i do like the diss i heard " The new Battelfront is more shallow and has more fanservice than DOAX3"

i bring that up to say pure fanservice with shallow gameplay is pretty poorly received by a lot of people for any game, its not a purely sex thing why DOAX is disliked.

I think DOAX3 has been talked about quite a lot so it's getting exhausting lol. And the game is getting to the point it's like... ugh, done, washing my hands of this game.

What the hell was Nyotengu doing with that volleyball grinding it into her taint? What is that? And the social implications of Honoka washing that statue of Zack (I'm sure she didn't ignore the crotch area) are gross in western society. It implies she's subservient to and worships him which is I guess what a lot of japanese guys like.

It is? I don't play or care for shooters, so that's news to me. Any details about that?
Edit:
Oh, the new Battlefront was Star Wars Battlefront... Silly me! X3



Alright...I'm putting that image in spoilers... XD

To be honest if I was Honoka I'd be worshiping and praying to the statue too considering how many times its been destroyed.
