Beyond Evil Is So Interesting To Me Because Dong Sik Grew Up In A Christian Household, And He’s Introduced

When Sakurai san and Yuta made fake business cards. There is a comedy duo called ガッポリ建設 (Minted Constructions).

“this bag is so small what can it hold? 🤫”

If you're a disabled young person, you've most likely been hit with the "pfft you think you're in pain now? Just wait til you're my age" bullshit from older people at least once. Everyone talks about how invalidating it is

But I haven't seen anybody mention how it's terrifying, too. Yes, I know health deteriorates with age. I know that old age is a disability unto itself. I know that the healthiest person alive will start getting aches and pains past the age of 40 and may even need mobility aids

I know all this stuff. And it always makes me think "yeah, if I can't walk without joint pain even while using mobility aids AT AGE 21, how painful will life be for me at the age where it gets painful for everyone?"

And it's hard not to feel like I'm doomed, y'know? Where most people get a period of health that they wish they appreciated more when they start to lose it, my starting point was a body that doesn't work properly and it's only gonna get worse from there. It's worse every fucking year.

TLDR stop telling disabled young people that their pain will only get worse to the point of being unimaginable as they age, WE FUCKING KNOW

and then they cat napped together 🙂‍↕️

lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry

Driving myself crazy over this interview with Imai Hisashi.

The question is quite ambiguous, "Have you ever liked someone of the same sex" - I've seen three translations of the word used for "like" here: a) be in love with b) liking (as in friendship) c) liking (as in fancying)

Atsushi's answer is absolutely unambiguous; he starts gushing about how much he loves Issay and how cool he thinks Issay is

Hide, Yuta and Toll's answers are equally unambiguous. All of them specify, "romantic love?" and answer "No!"

Imai, in very neurodivergent fashion, responds to an ambiguous question with an equally ambiguous answer. "I have! As a human being."

And I don't know how to translate that.

Because in English, "I like you... as a person" has strong connotations of "...but I'm not physically attracted to you and don't want to date / have sex with you."

But "I like you... as a human being" has strong connotations of "I am so strongly attracted to your whole personality that the details of your physical sex are simply irrelevant."

And in Japanese, I don't know if either of those connotations exist.

However, the latter interpretation is so common among neurodivergent folks that there's a whole term for it: Neuroqueer (in a nutshell, the idea that the whole concepts of binary gender and fixed orientation are so heavily dependent on the exact types of social conventions that ND folks struggle with, as to render them meaningless to us.)

I love that Imai leaves it so ambiguous. There's one interpretation that leaves this at "I love men, but only platonically" and there's another that is "I love... humans!" And given my headcanon of Imai as Neurodivergent, I know which interpretation I'm going with.
