Twitter screenshot from @jastusa, a visual novel and eroge publisher After a very successful Friday, we were banned from the San Japan convention in San Antonio, Texas this weekend. Our content is too provocative for the powerful of the Lone Star State, ahead of the anti-anime bill SB20 going into effect on Monday.

People seem to forget that a major part of why the eroge/doujin sphere was as highly valued as it was is because it was capable of tackling subject matter which would be ruthlessly pinned down by censorship elsewhere. It might not be "clean", but they could talk about anything without repose.

It was more that DC hyped her up as the "Amazon from the Amazon", only to make her an adult woman from Idaho with absolutely no cultural history with the Amazon. Add in the entire fiasco with Future State and its company politics, and the character ended up being dropped like a stone.

Honestly feel like the part of the conversation people are forgetting in this is that the entire reason why terms like "elevated horror" even exist is because of a pushback against the image of lowbrow entertainment the genre was consumed by in the 2000s. The shift is more a retaking if anything.

Not denying that, but I feel like it's *really* weird to do this after more than 20 straight (no pun intended) years of having zero canonical yuri whatsoever - even while getting yuri artists to draw the canon manga!

My personal guess is that people are more interested in being able to emotionally insert themselves into a work of fiction, and the setting of anime high-school blocks them from doing that. It's a very "Witch in Alps" kind of paradigm, if you get my reference.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel there should be a convo about how the first canonically lesbian character in a franchise iconic for its yuri fanbase being a creepy stalker with a one-sided fixation on her boss (who doesn't appear to even like her), and what that says about the franchise itself.

Genuinely surprised more Touhou fans aren't upset or angry about Hisami.

What makes this especially funny is how the entire conclusion of the video is literally about how Arthmoor basically won.

The running gag of Knudsen zooming in further and further on Arthmoor's PFP as he goes off the rails is peak comedy.
