Oh I meant it quite literally. "As long as you don't do that, it's all good." I've run into people condemning others for liking/not liking a specific piece of fiction so often I have a load of disclaimers in my head for all occasions.

As long as you don't tell me to stop liking what you don't like...

I'd guess that, no, he was rather hoping you'd do exactly what you did so he can now say "Ha! Told you! You can't even prove me wrong! Ah-ha-ha! Ha-ha-haha!" Less colorfully, tho, I suppose.

First of all, yes, it is a self-insert fantasy. I've yet to come across a piece of fiction that isn't, because if you're writing something, you are going to insert a bit of "yourself" into it, just try it. But it's true that some insertions are done more badly than others, forgive the lame...

I'd say "a whole lot more dead innocents" is a much larger problem than "we'd get bad PR".

Lucky THAT wasn't in the anime. Honestly, that's one of the worst cases of "IKEA erotica" I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. So yeah, if you go reading, just skip over that part...

Anyone pretending they know how anyone that's not themselves is thinking is pretty darn creepy. And yet, seems the world is populated by people who "just know better".

One of my friends said the only way to deal with that problem is to "outfuck" them. Literally. Make more kids than they do. I have no opinion on that tho.

...you need to go to war for that...?

Eh, there's perks and downsides to both. Niche communities then to be more tight-knit but that can lead to being exclusionary, mainstream ones tend to be more inclusive, but can get confusing with so many people in them.

The only thing that could get accomplished would literally be "A bunch of smartasses who never felt real hardship feeling a little bigger and manlier because damn we showed those fuckers didn't we huh!"

This is an oddly specific scenario. Like the one with a guy tied to train tracks and five guys tied to the other train tracks, but you can't know for sure that the one guy isn't Hitler.

Only thing I'll say about Log horizon is that I got put off because the guy kept doing that glasses thing only Gendo Ikari should ever be allowed to do.

It's not even poorly written. It's just that a lot of ships have been sunk and a lot of waifu fantasies have been denied. Korra and Asami are a great couple, always were. They complement each other with their differences, and have enough in common to work well together.

It'd be a "Won the war, lost the peace" scenario. Plus, it's close enough to China's sphere of influence that they might want to start with sanctions, and with the Chinese having their hands in so much economy all over the world, those sanctions would be a tad painful. I hope that somehow...
