fiction_is_not_reality hoping they get this post? Not sure how this works?So I went into the book store today because hey, Christmas shopping and I found this manga, lying right there with the other mangaka:
I did not edit this, just pulled the book out a bit to better show it's contents.
Now I think that Monster Musume is a horrible manga full of sexist stereotypes and barely any plot to excuse the abundant amount of boobies but heck, I'd still defend my right to it being published. And here it is, in a popular book store next to the kid (!) and teen section. Does that mean the owners of this shop are disgusting pedophiles?
There are kids that could just.. buy this stuff. And even if they don't they can see it. And this is definitely not a normal representation of sexuality (not that there's anything wrong with that). But as of now, you won't even see any naked bodies on tumblr anymore. Because apparently this is - what? Too risky for minors?
Let me laugh.

Usually we can't ping people like you're used to on Tumblr - this entry will show up on the "reading page" of everybody who has subscribed to you, and they'll see it in due course. If you want to make absolutely sure they see the entry you can leave a comment in an entry they made (this is often a good idea if you're making a new entry that jumps off that entry, as it allows everybody already reading that entry to see it) or you can send them a PM and let them know you've linked to them.
Of course, if you're just making a very short response to something they said it's often better to make it as a comment to their entry and then link to that in your journal. That way all the conversation stays on their entry and they can easily participate in ALL THE THREADS, and so can everybody else!
