AgriasArseid (she/they)

Very excited this is happening, but also sad Bocchi season 2 noises.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been wanting to try matrix for a while, but didn’t know where to start.

Current science actually shows that trans women perform worse than cis women in several categories and identical in others. Which correlates with the fact that in the 20 years that trans women have been allowed to compete in the olympics, not a single one has made it there. It was a small study and needs to be expanded upon, but is still better evidence than what any of the reactionary bans have.

Here’s a link to an article that includes a link to the actual study https://www.outsports.com/2024/4/12/24091267/transgender-athletes-study-research-science-sports-governing-bodies/

I didn’t even notice you could alter your display name like this. Almost a year here and somehow missed this feature.

The original webnovel is 552 chapters, the Webtoons adaptation is about a third of the way through it at 200+ episodes, and these aren’t short. I wonder what pacing they will go with. I think up through the 4th scenario at episode ~70 of the webtoon is a good stopping point, but that might be too fast and end up incoherent.

Yeah, I can only assume it will be a very limited release.

It’s funny, I enjoyed the demons in Frieren because they weren’t just humans of a different skin color but felt truly alien. They are not evil, they don’t enjoy killing, they just do. I think there is going to be something to understand about them that we are not going to get until we get the flashback to the Demon King, which I assume will be at the end of the series.

I’ve been waiting for her since she is so on display in the ending. The season is almost over and now it seems like she’ll be a main character.

This section killed me. Sums up my entire high school experience, even though I did not come out until almost 30.

“Even Sam herself starts to wonder if she’s a gay man, because it would definitely explain the queerness she feels all the time. It would also explain why she feels a kinship to the gay community, even though she’s not gay herself. Alas, she was a boy who exclusively liked girls — it didn’t get much more hetero than that.”

Yeah those wolves were hard to look at. Though usually bad CGI like that just means there is a complete lack of budget rather than them saving it for something later. I think the only thing we can expect from the series later is more terrible CGI monsters. I’m glad action is not the hook of the show.

All things considered, that huge display of power went better for her than I expected. Rather than turn the country against her in fear, they roll out the red carpet.

Same, went in blind, only because so many people were hyped for it. And I can see why, it was a lot of fun. Though, I agree that they are oddly chill about the MC’s sister considered she is on an unknown clock to being digested and unable to be revived.

Like, is there timer measured in weeks? months? years? That’s awfully long.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want it directly into the bloodstream, you’d get a hell of a spike in T levels, and it would then dissipate much faster, which you also don’t want.

These should be the real gender reveal parties.
