There's no evidence that it made them gay. Maybe the demon provided a matchmaking service for closeted medieval queers.

Is it really that bad? I've been living in Asia for 10 years, and although it seems like there are some desperate bottoms in rural areas and smaller cities, it doesn't really feel like things are that easy for tops. There's actually been plenty of times when other tops have wanted me to bottom for them.

It's a pointless move, but it helps them in their aim of adopting America's anti-woke culture war rhetoric.

Sorry to nitpick, but there's no way there's only a 5 inch height difference between them. Once again, someone has been caught using Grindr inches.

I hope none of my fellow tops have considered hooking up with this guy. People who block laws that would have advanced the rights of trans people don't deserve to be topped.

The most tragic thing about this is that she isn't even using the word breedable correctly. The traditional meaning of the word, which she is trying to gatekeep, means to produce offspring. Humans breed by procreating with another human to create human children. Vaginas do not breed with other vaginas to create vagina children, so vaginas are not breedable.

Even if you think the slang form of the word breedable this guy used is invalid, he's still breedable as long as he's capable of impregnating someone, even if he has no desire to do so.

Cum dumpsters need representation too.

How did he manage to hide it so well?

When I had sex ed in the late 90's, I was shown videos with real (but obviously non-sexualized) nudity. I don't remember there being any controversy about that at all, and I went to a Christian school (Anglican).

I'm no expert on this, but in addition to the other factors people mentioned, I would say that people in Japan seem to pay a lot more attention to high school sports. The Koshien Stadium and the high school baseball tournaments name after it are very famous. I'm not even interested in sports, but I know about them and often notice friends talking about them online. I know absolutely nothing about the college baseball tournaments or where they're held.

I've gotten into reading Japanese books a lot more recently, and I prefer e-books as their built-in dictionaries are a god-send for foreign language learners.

I've only used Google Play so far. The integrated dictionary is fine, but one annoyance is that it can't detect any word that uses furigana. Are Kindle, Kobo, or any other platforms any better?

I'm not a native speaker, but I've studied Japanese for more than a decade. There are no singular, non-gendered third person pronouns, so there is no equivalent of a singular they. Although there is an equivalent of a plural they, it's not completely gender neutral. The equivalent of him is kare, and the equivalent of her is kanojo. You can make them plural by ending "ra" on to the end of them. Kanojora is used only for groups of women/girls, and karera can be used for a group of men/boys, or a mixed-gender group. That makes the root meaning of karera male coded even if it's used in a gender neutral manner, so non-binary people might prefer not to use that.

This shouldn't however be a major issue for Japanese speakers, as first person pronouns are the only ones that are in frequent use. Unlike English, where you use pronouns to avoid repitition, you can completely omit them in Japanese, so instead of asking "Has Asami done her homework?" in English, you would ask "Has Asami done homework?" It's also preferable to use names instead of 2nd/3rd person pronouns. Instead of asking "How about you?", you'd ask "How about (person's name)?" It's probably much easier for a non-binary person to ask that no pronouns be used for them

Why were they so sure the penguins weren't just roomates?

I knew I was gay when I was 12. I've only ever been attracted to men, and I'll be 40 next week. If you think you're gay, you're very likely correct. Some people's sexualities are fluid, so you may also be "incorrect". Either way, it doesn't really matter. Life is not a quiz. You're under no obligation to give the "correct answer" first time, and it's not too late if you suddenly realize you gave the "incorrect answer" when you're in your twenties, thirties, or even older.
