    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    Oh, right, I remember hearing about this one. I don't know the admins of RR, nor did I ever interact with anyone on that site, but... Honestly, it really felt like a dumb excuse. Like, if they think that GL/Yuri/BL/Yaoi are sexual genres in nature (which is not true, but whatever), couldn't...

    A transwoman wearing a dress for the first time would probably feel happiness primarily, not arousal. But of course, different people feel different things. There's no way to say what every single person feels. I'm just giving the rough outline of it.

    Each person experiences Gender Dysphoria differently, but as a rule of thumb, it's something that makes you hate your own body. When a transwoman (as in, a woman that was born with a man's body) starts the transition process, the outcome usually isn't arousal, but rather relief. Comfort. Being...

    ... And then there are the smut ones which are... Well, smut. Not much more to say. Basically, it's very nuanced, and there are a lot of different things one can focus on when writing gender bender... So trying to reduce it to a sexual-fulfillment is really reductive and doesn't begin to...

    Those are much more about society and self-identity than about sex. ... And then there are the comedic ones which... Well, they'll often times do some jokes and stuff with the gender change that have some degree of sexuality involved. Usually nothing that actually leads into sex, but sexual...

    OTOH, you also have stories that are like... Well, they just dive into the emotional conflicts of a character that got magically genderbent and are suddenly faced with discomfort with their own body, with needing to adapt to the (often times toxic) social norms that are expected of someone of a...

    But it's also not sexual? It's like... Well, it involves one's gender identity and being born the way one always wished to be born as. It's a wish-fulfillment of being happy about being oneself.

    Like a transgender author making a self-insert slice of life story where someone dies and is reborn with the biological sex that the transgender author always wanted to have... That can totally be wish-fulfillment and a self-insert story.

    I don't wanna hijack the thread any further, but I wanted to comment on the gender bender part in particular. That one really feels... Strange, to categorize as sexual fulfillment... Wish-fulfillment can happen in it though.

    fantasy idioms that sound the same on Earth but mean different things

    Killing two birds with one stone, referring to the classic tale of the mythological hero who has defeated the twin birds of apocalypse by transforming himself into a giant rock that smashed both birds. It means being able to pay even the greatest prices for the sake of a better future.

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    I mean... With this kind of connection, you're essentially saying that the Romance Genre is sexual in nature. With this kind of extremely broad definition... Uhn... Sure, if we say that Romance = Sexual, then yeah, most stories on this website would be sexual in nature, because... Well, the...

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    You mean the #1 story on the yurihime magazine (the biggest GL magazine in Japan)? One of the most popular harem novels of all time? And one of the best gender benders in the market? I didn't nitpick. I picked the best of the best (among the stories I know, of course) to prove my point. There...

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    Oh, I totally agree that wish-fulfillment is very popular here. No disagreements there. I never denied that Smut is popular in Scribblehub either. We're in complete agreement here. Smut IS popular. Writing Smut is definitely a very valid way of gaining popularity here in Scribblehub. ... It's...

    Please list to me the sexual content in the following series: Whisper Me A Love Song (#1 manga in the yurihime magazine) Sword Art Online (an extremely popular harem novel) Love Me for Who I Am (an extremely popular gender bender manga) Also, I am the one working with percentages. The one...

    1/10 stories on trending had Smut. What are you even talking about? Except for all the stories without Smut that are very popular and successful here. Many of which you listed yourself. If you seriously think that Gender Bender is sexual in nature... Then you've never read any serious Gender...

    Those are not the same and you know they are not the same. Action/Adventure is not on the #5 story listed on your own screenshot. If there were no stories without Action/Adventure that were popular on Scribblehub, then you'd never get a high-ranking story without it. Your screenshot proves you...

    There is actually smut on #3. I dunno why Jay didn't highlight it. I have no idea where they were going with that screenshot. And since we're at the topic of the dumb lie of Smuthub, I actually made a post about it using the top novels of all time of Scribblehub, back in October...

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    Novel #5 on the list you have just shown on screenshots does not have neither Action nor Adventure. Your argument makes no sense. The most popular stuff are Action and/or Adventure, in general. There are exceptions, like the #5 novel. It's exactly what I just said. Action/Adventure are the most...

    Do you think this character has a mental disability or a mental disorder? And if so, what do you think it is?

    From what you have said, she doesn't seem to have any mental issues, just PTSD. She does seem to have a basic lack of common sense, but that's because she isn't aware of the basic norms of the society she is currently living in. This doesn't seem to point towards any particular mental issue...
