Shonen girls who shine...or lack thereof

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Demon Slayer/Kimetsu, it's got some strong female characters! Nezuko and Shinobu are two really well written characters that are important in the plot, and they both have unique abilities and personalities.

Shonen girls who shine...or lack thereof

Shounen is a demographic term, not a genre. It means mangas published for the young boy reader, primarily the 8-12 group, and Promised Neverland was published in Weekly Shounen Jump, so it's firmly in that demographic. Going on that line, Gaku from Qualia the Purple is one of the most shining Sh…

Why is that people drop out of high school?

I dropped the equivalent to highschool in Germany in eleventh grade, because my parents where abusing me and I had to move out as soon as it was legally possible, for which I had to work to earn money first. Also cause I have depression since I am a child I am absolutely not able to stay concentrate…

Whats the one thing you fear happening with one of your characters?

I'm worried about a few things, actually. And all this behaviour seems to be getting worse, not better. I'm a white creator with a number of dark-skinned characters. I like diverse character designs, and the representation is a positive as well. BUT. No matter how carefully I write them, some peo…

The importance of thinking short

Writing | Novels

_Please note, the following is pretty much my opinion but it is based on observations over a few decades, and I'd love to hear more opinions on it. Whether you disagree or agree, just be polite and kind to each other. The pandemic has made it hard to get together with a bunch of beloved writing budd…

Are we not giving places like Webtoon enough credit?

If a webcomic platforms like Webtoons/Tapas didn't exist then I wonder how many comics wouldn't exist in the first place? I feel like mine wouldn't since comic hosting websites make it so much easier to post online and where I'm from we don't have traditional comic publishers... like AT ALL... Self…

Is vigilantism hurting fandom?

Fandoms have always been toxic and I feel you are looking at the "early 2000" with rose color glasses. The mere amount of gatekeeping in anime and gaming was insane. Like to the point where male gamers thought girls didn't play games. Girl who did were sometimes bullied for being "fake" or "posers". …

Is vigilantism hurting fandom?

It’s mostly ridiculous virtue signaling. People can write what they want to write, just tag it correctly. It’s those who get all bent out of shape because they think certain subjects shouldn’t be written about at all since in real life they’re obviously morally wrong. Most fan fiction writers who’ve…

Is vigilantism hurting fandom?

Its dumb and it has always have been. It existed in the early 2010 when tumbler was popular and it exists now. Electronic Dragon's recollection on early Harry potter and Hamilton showed me adults have too much free time. Stupid crap like liking "problematic ship" or characters or fic tropes bein…

Is there a way to tell Tapas to shut the hell up with the announcements?

I prefer several days without a like and sub notification, rather than get my hopes up and just see an ad for a comic that is just the 1989 # version of "Trapped in another world but I'm the villan...'s pet horse"

Are we not giving places like Webtoon enough credit?

As much as I do like to rag on Webtoons (and seriously, it does have its own problems, haha), the people behind it seem to really care about their creators for both Canvas and Originals. Webtoon Originals creators seem to be pretty happy, and the social media for Webtoon Canvas regularly interacts w…

@SpavVy Well, when I see anyone talking about AOT, my first question is "How far have you watched?" If you're caught up to the anime(at least S3 part 2), then your thinking of the characters being shallow could be a bit..... I thought the same but after catching up till the fourth season, my opinio…

Unpopular Opinions (Music Edition)

I'm generally of the belief that people should listen to whatever they want to. Being an elitist is exhausting lol so uhhh.. Here's my two cents Country music receives way more backlash than it should. Like, no lie, it's somewhat unsettling how universal it seems to be to say you either hate it or…

Cats and Kittens

[image][image] This is my buddy Rizzo. We just got him this summer during the first shutdowns. He was living in a friend's garage (she couldn't let him inside because she had too many other cats) and we took him in. He very very quickly settled in as a cozy sleepy housecat.

Cats and Kittens

They all look so cute! [:heart_02:] My kitten Coco was a stray that was rescued from the side of the road. I guess she must’ve spent too much time around the puppies at the shelter because now she acts like a dog—plays fetch, chases her teeth, and chews on everything. [image]

Why do people sell their babies?

Interesting topic and interesting replies, lots of which I agree with. Speaking as someone with an eye on the book industry, while I dislike very clear cash grabs, I do understand writers selling the movie rights to their books, for example, to a company who then diverts alot from the source materia…

Why do people sell their babies?

Are couple of million dollars such a bad thing? If it would allow me to have them and then go and create another 10 "babies", because I wouldn't need to think of money ever again... Maybe it's not something bad to consider. Especially if it's not your only masterpiece that you spent half your life …

Anyone looking forward to the new Clip Studio update? (Clip Studio Paint Winter Update (Version 1.10.5))

Clip Studio will have some new webcomic features, like splitting a long-form comic up, a phone preview and the ability to export directly to Webtoons. Though some of them are more for Webtoons I think they will be really good to use on Tapas as well. Here's the official video and here's the lin…
