136 is light. I've recently learned that in the Asian continent that people say that 136 is normal weight. But to most of the world that's on the light side. And before you argue, I'm not American.

So that 136 lb male average includes children? I pity a grown man who only ways 136 lbs.

Where did you pull your statistics from? I have a hard time believing the average male weight being 136 pounds, not knowing what internationally encompasses I still have a hard time believing that. That is low. That would be like me fighting some little kid.

Is that really considered average? I thought people were taller and heavier nowadays.

It's a bit chubby, but not massively obese.

Isn't a "weave" just another word for a wig?
That you can take off at any point?

TC mentioned "being loved by someone" so I assumed it was about having a SO, not a roommate or buddy or whatever.

yeah but it's a lot different than starting a new game at level 50 with level 1 enemies

yes, you start at default levels and gear for Rebirth
lvl 15 and pretty barebones materia etc

Would be girl 2 if it wasn't for the Sideshow Bob hair

for kids and teenagers. Sex jokes of varying kinds tend to be funny at that age,

or that girl from Fire Force who's entire gag is randomly her clothes coming off and people grabbing her tits.)

It can be done fine. I just think theres a difference between a horny character, a ladys man, and an outright pervert.

Not every character in fiction has to be presented as morally flawless.

It's up to you, reader, how you perceive them.

If nobody found perverted characters funny, they wouldn't be used for comedy. It's fine if you don't find them funny. Just don't watch them. There's plenty of anime without perverted characters.

I have to challenge you here: According to who?

Let's take this example: "I say there are too many effeminate men in anime! Pretty and fanciful male characters offend my Religious values! Effeminate and pretty male characters dont need to constantly be in flux in the same way."*

(*this is not my actual opinion, it's an example of this thinking going too far using the same justifications)

Now, I agree that pervert characters are cringe and annoying, I hated Master Ryoshi back in the day when I first discovered DBZ...and I've never found these characters particularly useful and never endearing.

I don't believe in placing arbitrary restraints on fictional writing. If writers want to do better and audiences want to make better choices that is preferred. I really don't want to see the left swing back the other way and become censorious in fictional media with "pervert panics" the way conservatives and the religious right had their moral and "satanic panics" and their anti LGBTQ crusading now.

I'm a free speech guy.

That doesn't mean I support spreading misinformation, history revision, or unrestrained propaganda in the form of news and non-fiction. This also doesn't extend to the classroom curriculum...

TL:DR - Let's not become the censorious left when it comes to fiction, in the way religious and cultural conservatives have been for years.

Nah.

I'm fairly left, I consider myself a feminist, but I am generally against demanding we change written fictional media to exclude things.

Besides:

1) Perverts exist in real life
2) Usually even if the pervert is a generally positive character, the being a pervert is shown as a character weakness and flaw.

I also am less inclined to demand changes to media from other cultures and languages, since I don't have a deep understanding or immersion in Japanese culture the same I have for American culture, and Euro-centric culture being a white American dude.

EDIT: Wait, no. I think I am arguing with you, since you're trying to argue calling somebody a "chud" is moddable, period.

And to be clear. Chud, alone, is not an insult. But it can be used as one is the point.

I don't think I have ever seen somebody be modded for calling somebody fat, unless that's your point.

I dunno why this post was ignored. But for yall who are claiming Well, they are chuds by definition

What about calling a fat person fat? Is that flaming, or no?

What's the difference?

That's like calling a fat person fat

No, the point is in the topic title: does calling someone a chud flaming? And for that to be true it must always be an insult

I would say that's pretty unreasonable to follow the line that because someone could fallaciously call someone a thing that it now is an insult. The ability to do so certainly turns it into one in some circumstances, but you can do that will almost anything to turn it into something else entirely. Like I could use "funny" as an insult (something like "you are being so funny") but it's beyond ridiculous to call it just an insult. In that vein you are certainly capable of using chud as an insult, but the overwhelming usage of it is just calling people out. It is just disingenuous to act like the minority ability to use it as an insult immediately means that it is now just an insult. It is no more an insult than being called a Republican is.

That is not true. *How* racist or much of a chud is subjective, but the act of being so is very much not. If someone is doing racist they are racist, what changes is "how much" as where people draw the line is different. Like, when Matt Walsh said that he couldn't trust Black pilots because he couldn't trust that they had received training that is always racist. However, the difference in perception means what while I find that to be excessively abhorrent for a Republican it wasn't "that bad."

Again "loser" is open to interpretation. Chud isn't. Is the person racist xenophobic etc? If yes. They're a chud.

Nobody calls someone a terf to use as an insult like loser or nerd.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. That's most people. Many of them with worse problems than you. Yet the number of people who overthink things and make the problems feel worse for them than is necessary isn't that high, comparably. The point was never to just give up or to simply accept everything, the point of this message is that stressing yourself out is only doing more damage to you. If life itself is already fucking you over, shouldn't you cut yourself a break? You're the one person who fully understands your own pain after all. The average person had many problems that will be difficult or impossible for them to solve. And even if you are successful, one day you will die and it will all be meaningless to you. So why worry over everything? Even if it isn't much, why not focus on things that you can do and that you enjoy? A small improvement over time does add up. If you are still alive, you can still do something.

Or you know, give in to despair like me and see how well that goes for you. I'll tell you right now, when they say stress kills, they aren't fucking around buddy.

You're thinking about it too hard, it's not that complicated.

i mean you have dudes in their 30s here who still use shit like "virgin" as an insult and haven't mentally aged past their middle school days. if it's not because you're a virgin, it's your job, whether you still live with your family, whether or not you're currently single, whether or not you watch anime or something, it's always something. women definitely aren't as actively combative, looking for something- anything- to use as ammunition

Not really. They run the gamut of both extremes with a completely neutral option. Besides after the things you've said and believe, your opinion and criticism means less than nothing to me
