A flat bear is what you get when a drop bear misses its target

This is top-tier, well done

Fair, politeness is definitely the way to go. I was more reacting to the apparent reluctance to actually provide a source to back up what they were saying after making some pretty serious allegations; it feels like with the times we live in, people ought to be more sensitive to the potential spread of misinformation. But you’re right, the replier certainly could have been nicer about it.

No. If you make a claim, you back it up or get disregarded. It’s that simple. This is how we prevent misinformation from being spread. Stop being indignant over being lazy/irresponsible.

How is this substantively different from the original comment?

I love how half of these are just “don’t be fucking annoying”

it is the Ten Commandments’ "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

Alright, so let’s put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.

The solution to this isn’t ostracizing trans people, it’s teaching children not be disgusting perpetrators of sexual harassment like you and many you knew.

Dude, I’m literally just saying it’s wrong to generalize an entire people as a “cancer.” If you seriously can’t see the reason in that, I honestly don’t know what else to say.

I’m not pro-Russia by any means but this is some extremely troubling rhetoric

“This thing seems to be true.”

“Actually, this thing doesn’t seem to be true, and here’s why.”

“So you don’t want this thing to be true, then??”

Maybe now you can see how ridiculous you sound here.

You are a beautiful person. May the wind be ever at your back

At this point if I can’t find a “Jump to Recipe” button displayed prominently at the top of the page within three seconds of visiting I just nope out and find a less cancerous site

An internal browser is a good idea, but in the interim, this problem can be solved by changing your default browser/app settings. You should be able to make it so that any link automatically opens in Firefox, or make it so that clicking on YouTube links prompts you to select which app you’d like to open the link with. Not sure what type of device you’re working with, but on Android you can change these settings by going to Settings > Apps > (insert app name here) and looking under the “Defaults” header.

Lol had to try 🤷‍♂️

Depending on how you look at it, this might be kinda the opposite of what you’re asking for, but I thought I’d throw it out anyway in case you may still be interested: The Ideal Sponger Life is about a Japanese salaryman who gets isekai’d (willingly and intentionally, for a change) and marries the queen of a desert nation who needs a husband for political reasons but is reluctant to marry any of her statesmen (again, for political reasons).

The manga/novel (hasn’t been animated just yet) mainly focuses on the political relationships between the nations of the isekai world, and the MC struggling to figure out how to reconcile his cultural differences while also being a decent diplomat for the sake of his nation and his wife.

Part of that is the fact that MC’s marriage was initially purely political, but he and the queen grow to genuinely love each other. However, polygyny is the common practice in this new nation, especially among aristocrats, so MC is basically required to have a harem of wives, even though he very much doesn’t want any other than the queen. This results in him having to find clever, politically acceptable ways to avoid advances from (shrewd, surprisingly well written) women who want to join his harem to garner power for their families.

In summary: It’s a political fantasy story that is only technically a harem, and even then it’s not ecchi/oblivious MC/blah, but an integral part of the political intrigue in the story. Don’t know if that’s still a deal breaker for you, but just give the first volume or two a shot. I went in with very low expectations and was blown away with how well the worldbuilding and characters were executed.

Divine Gate was exceedingly mid (not surprising, it’s based off a mobile game), but its OP One Me, Two Hearts is a banger

For manga, I’ve always purchased from Barnes & Noble and Books a Million, mainly because they’re near my house and I’m more of an in-store shopper, but they’ve got solid online presences and a satisfying catalogue. Plus, both have pretty good membership reward programs (B&N in particular is $40/yr and gives you 10% off pretty much everything, free shipping, and a $5 reward for every cumulative $100 spent, plus some other stuff).

And if those places don’t have what I’m looking for, there’s always Amazon

I regret to inform you that your girlfriend is a robot

Oh damn, you’re definitely right about Fairy Tail. It’s been so long since I’ve watched it I completely forgot about all the fanservice. It’s bizarre though, because if it wasn’t for that it’d fit right in with other “Saturday morning” kids anime like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon
