What, you want male and female characters to be treated the same? Sexist.

[livejournal.com profile] jarodrussell just kicked Scans_Daily in the internet scrotum. Men being tied up? Nummy fanservice. Women being tied up? Hateful misogyny.

I actually think the female tentacles is more exploitative... just going by the previews, it gets more panels devoted to it and some of them would be shameless for the 90s, back when America had some innocence when it came to hentai, but the reaction is so cut-and-dried hypocritical. It's like a guy going "Dudes kissing? Gross! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch some lesbian porn."

Hey! I have that reaction (although not phrased in those words). Could you correct it to "Dudes kissing? That's just wrong!" Gross is a matter of taste. And the problem is that there's a strong element of moral judgement in S_D there.
