My Whatever

Can anyone please explain to me what's wrong with the new ToS? I think I might be missing some key important point in the new ToS.

I read it and it pretty much standard blog/social media ToS with the only major thing is change of service to Russia.

Regarding sexual content the word obscene or pornographic usually refer to real life pornographic materials (like human being).

Also regarding the "translated agreement not legally binding", for someone who live in a country that uses many languages for contract this is quiet common. The original language of which the contract is written in is the one the party involves will be bound to. This is to avoid conflict in cases where there are discrepancies.

There's always commotion whenever users were ask to agreed to new agreement. I've seen this multiple times before Deviantart, Facebook, Tumblr, Artsy, mobile apps. This usually stem from misunderstanding (legal stuff is always convolated) and sometime because the user don't even know the original ToS that they agreed to when they created the account and sometime is simply because the ToS is just not agreeable.

LJ has made changes to the ToS from time to time but no new agreement require which I guessed because of prior changes were made by the same company when we first created the account with. So the transfer of service will require new agreement with the new company.

Please anyone enlighten me, I don't want to get screwed over because I'm missing something important in the ToS.

p/s: If thing really goes downhill I have Dreamwidth account with same name which I opened way back in 2012. Used to crosspost to here but picture didn't carry over so I stopped but I guess now time to crosspost again.

Behold!!!





My first thought: Leather, leather & leather.

I keep forgetting to post about this but when hoshi_kuzuu posted dropping project licensed by Renta it all coming back.

Actually I found out about it from a thread on Mangaupdates when people discussing english releases by Renta. I was made aware that Renta is merely an ebook site just like its Japanese counterpart.

(MU thread https://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=51584, there are other similar thread just search through the forum.)

Summary

-What about all those titles that only avaiable on Renta?
They just have the exclusive release of it just like some of CR titles (less and less title exclusive to CR these days Comixology has bunch of the same titles available).

-So who is the real publisher?
The real publisher is whoever Renta listed as publisher (seriously, they never credited themselves as publisher).


-Proof that the credited publisher is the real publisher.
Here one of em https://www.futurecomics.com/en/. They also serve manga by other publishers like those licensed by DMP and Harlequin which publishes Harlequin manga.

Many people are not aware of this, if you look at MU there are many title listed as licensed by Renta even when on the cover there's obvious DMG or June logo on it. I also noticed that they mainly cater to not mainstream manga. They used to have quite a sum of shounen titles but not as many anymore especially they literally re-brand themselves as "Renta! is The Official Romance-manga Site".



Mainstream manga publishers like Kodansha & Kodakawa seems to either avoid or just prefer some better ebook sites like cd japan, amazon kindle, comixology etc. Well, they are big time publishers and many has their own exclusive ebook site for example Kodakawa Book Walker (paid content), Comic Walker (free content).

Although if I put on my conspiracy theory hat on, it was because Renta service; their ebook reader and their ebook quality is pretty bad. The reader sometimes just stop working and you have to close and re-open from the beginning and the image quality is grainy and it grating on you when you read. At the bright side the typesetting and font choice for their exclusive titles has improve in their newer releases (older releases can't be help).

Something is off somewhere, I cannot pin point where exactly but I feel like something is definitely off.

The most destructive relationship of two protagonist in Gundam history, they bring the worst out of each other.

Someone needs to do an intervention, probably too late but still...


The worst part of this week ep is this (I probably the only one who feels that way though...)



This scene I was like "oh, god please no. Just no!".
Atra heel, heel! How did you make that conclusion? Why does a baby will make everything better? I find it quite the opposite considering how much Mika wants to protect those that around him.

I honestly from the beginning couldn't quite grasp why Atra ship Mika and Kudelia so much, Mika pretty much acts the same towards everyone (except Orga). It was Kudelia who showed interest in Mika and suddenly she backs off thinking she doesn't stand a change winning Mika's heart agaisnt Kudelia.

Also imagining Mika suddently interested in sex is quite difficult since so far his priority are these: Eat>Barbatos>Orga's vision>the rest of the world.

Thinking about the future of this series regarding this "baby" brings me back to my bad memory in anime Blood+ when Diva raped Riku and in manga Loveless when Soubi lost his ears. In story setting not centered in romance (i.e not porno or romance) sex among minor and especially sex with minor disturb me, very.

Sanji and siblings are test tube babies and they are all the same......in this aspect...



Reiju hasn't been tested yet, probably have to wait for Zoro.

Bleach has finally ended after 15 years.
What follow to that ending is a LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION FILM. My reaction to this news was "Japan pls just stop with this live-action adaptation".

Here is the guy that'll be playing Ichigo. I had to google him because to find out that he was Kamen Rider Fourze (didn't watch that series it was one of the awful ones) no wonder he looked fimiliar.



Back to the manga, I havent read Bleach for a very long time that I even forgot where I stopped. Although I skimmed read sometimes whenever my sister told me some important plot developement but I'm still way out of touch. So I need some help here, dead people can have children now? I mean Ichigo's dad was a Shinigami but his mom was a human so I kinda allow myself to believe that one alive parent is require to create babies but Renji and Rukia are both dead...so...the dead can self populate soul society? If yes the children of both dead parent is alive or dead?

Also, what exactly is the ending because weren't they were just in the middle of a fight and suddently time skip?

I have so many questions?

p/s: I probably should use the word "soul" rather than "dead" because it seems like I'm talking about zombies but you get the idea.
