Thanks, it's nice to learn something curious from time to time.

I knew about the non-sexual meaning of rape, but always thought that's commonly accepted as a secondary, a niche meaning. A metaphor, a simile to get emotional weight across - but now I know that some treat it literally.

I'm bit miffed about it because we have different words for a reason, but now I will be less confused what people are talking about.

Not sure if I've said this or not but when authors nerf their MC. Like, I read a fic where the MC was supposed to be a kage level fighter but was losing to genin ninjas. Like wtf? Another thing I hate is when the MC is some overly pure and anti-sex person who shames others for having sex while saying that they can totally get someone to sleep with but won't because or whatever reason. The worst offenders of this are also always in more sexual worlds like dxd and I kid you not, ONE IN FUCKING KUROINU!!!

This, but with Superman and Goku in crossovers. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone turn Goku from someone who can destroy planets, to for some reason struggling with characters like Ruby Rose, Senran Kagura characters, and even once, Albedo from Overlord.

A single serious punch from Goku would atomize all of them instantly. Yet you expect me to think Goku would struggle with Albedo? Her and all her worn equipment are getting atomized by goku breathing a little too hard in her general direction.

True.

Why are you even here if you hate it so much.

You've clearly consumed enough of the material to get the basic facts like who everybody is and what the setting is about.

So why be so fixated on trying be the anti-sex man?

If it were Goku going easy on them because he sense their power level, is one thing.

But a lot of the time, they write it like Goku is struggling. Unless you're using hacks, Goku shouldn't be struggling.

Even if they do have hacks, a high enough difference in power levels would nullify it.

A lot of anti fans do this it's genuinely pathetic but anyone remember the ankoman shit every one of those guy's read his work knew everything to feel disgust about their favorite self insert being cucked and made a whole group of fanfiction about torturing women it was the most incel shit ever and it's hilarious how pathetic it actually made them look

The greatest irony of that was the revival of FGO fics.

Everybody stopped trying to adapt the main story and chose to write stomp fics about Chaldea in crossovers.

And they where all trash and most of them still where about ankoman

Yeah, I don't mind when it's written/explained as holding back, but when he's struggling against characters where there is no ambiguity that's hes far beyond them, it's a rough read.

On a side note, there's thanks to DBS an in universe way to get powerful fast. The dragon balls. Sure it feels wishy washy but it is cannon compliant. Magicas well.

Just make a wish of something like "Dragon, grant me as much power as i can get without removing my lifespan," then train from there.

Also, DB's magic side is super unexplored so there's a lot to work with.

But it still needed Ankoman to have been created. Nobody gave a shit about writing FGO until Ankoman.

Giving them buffs like magic or super technology makes the idea of Goku struggling less painful to read.

It gives him enough respect that they need external aid and unconventional warfare to put up a fair fight.

You just put words to a thought I wasn't able to completely put to words.

Buff the other side reasonably/cannon compliantly instead of nerfing. I feel like readers are for more willing to suspend their disbelief if said powerup at least makes sense, Ie: Instead of making Goku struggle against a weak character, perhaps have the character wish to gain a baseline level of power and train for several years offscreen or on screen.

I'd be a lot more willing to believe that beginning of Z Goku might have a semi fair fight with Albedo after her wishing on the dragonballs to remove her level cap+6 years of training with whoever instead of goku genuinely struggling with her normally. But I have a high tolerance for author fiat. Results may vary.

Need I remind you android 17 with 10 years of training on his little island with the cell jrs went from Z Goku level to being able to fight a semi serious Jiren?

And it's not like Goku is a smooth brain too, he's smart enough to figure out some complex abilities like hits time skip

I remember this was reaching wattpad bro

Theres a fic there where the MC gets cucked and then fucking DIES (I can't remember how he died) then he gets some powers and becomes a servant(or something like mash I think, I'm not rereading that to find out) and clears out a singularity before seeing the servants that cucked him and has mental breakdown(I'm talking crying crocodile tears and threatening to off himself too)

Needless to say after reading a decent fic about the MC falling in love with the ring girl I was done with wattpad

Wattpad's barely disguised cuck fetish.

 

[Lightbringer]

Here is a fic peeve.

Chaldea being this boring monogamous harem instead of a orgy. How are they dealing with morale with those servants?!

Damn all this fate talk has me thanking my lucky stars that I never read many fate fanfics. I feel like I dodged not just a bullet but a whole frickin' missile.
