The abuse-discourse crowd is gonna have to do mental somersaults to justify for me the girl blackmailing the other girl to allow her to be the maid who helps her get dressed in the morning as something REVOLUTIONARY and not in the sense of creepy as fuck

Again, I’m having a blast reading I’m in Love with the Villainess. Doubly so, cuz I can’t stop imagining the mental discursive juggling the crowd that shits on “abusive rep as romantic” will have to get done to justify this psycho that keeps using ‘birds shot with BB’ as analogy

ILWTV is possibly gonna be the best hypocrisy detector in the manga/anime/LN of the recent. Rae is a creepy stalker and Claire is an abusive lesbian Bakugo! Please let the takes start! I can’t wait for this be animated

The abuse/sexist crowd is gonna have a hell of a time convincing me this is not AS CREEPY OF NOT MORE than the shit you guys spend the live long day shitting on about other anime. Even Rent a Girlfriend is ok if this is too

Make this not be creepy. I dare you.

She’s in love with the villainess and I’m in love with the pure chaotic energy of this LN. no shampoo? Who give a shit, I get to undress the villainess. Revolution? Who gives a shit, I’ll eat her green peppers.

Pure chaotic energy.

And I too shall highlight that part, excuse me.

I too shall highlight that part, excuse me. And: well, this is new. Tho for medieval Europe fantasy I’d certainly wouldn’t expect such a neutral term.

I’ll be damned. An honest to god answer. Think this was those CR and Funi SJW translators and the original actually said “looool”?

Look, I fully expected all that I got from this LN so far but really did not expect shitting on media rep. Bravo. And especially shitting on the worst thing that Japanese media seems to do with queer folk: always portrays them as predatory.

Even just this year Wave, Listen to Me and some other anime had gay men represented as disgusting cheesy comic relief sexual abusers. In Wave the dude is literally grabbing the ass of his employ even in the OP. It’s disgusting.

This LN really is a breath of fresh air. WE HAVE BEEN FREED FROM THE “LOVE IS GENDERLESS TROPE”! Hallelujah, brothers and sisters! Hallelujah!!!

By the way: before any one of my zero readers here interprets me wrong. Love is genderless as a whole concept but as a trope it minimizes and turns invisible that for a bunch of queer folk it is not. Lesbians like girls, gays like men, and so forth. That is why love is genderless

*for a bunch of queer folk

It is really amazing to see a character so naturally defending something this good

And ok now I will agree with the take this LN is revolutionary. As a point of discourse only Our Dreams at Dusk and FukaBoku, really, are at this level. But both those series actually make the discourse work. So let’s calm down (I was jumping in my bed) and keep going

I feel tempted to stop reading this LN right now cuz I don’t want to tempt fate and anything going wrong with this. She actually said “another lesbian”. Now I really believe the take revolutionary.

Lots of other stuff were pretty normal LN/manga/anime and I’ve mentioned them in this thread but this is truly next level. Also, I always have a little worry about the translation and which words were actually used but I’ll put that aside. It actually mentions...

Gay, queer, queerness, bisexual, and lesbian. I’m in awe of this. Yeah, it’s the very bare minimum this whole medium should have been doing for a while when you think about the amount of rep (good or bad) it has, but hey, it’s here. Let’s celebrate it.
