Rule thirty-six?

Propose rule 36: if you think you can no longer be surprised by smut on the Internet, you are wrong.

Just a borrowed account.

I'm constantly surprised and, in some cases, delighted by just the smut that can be found in manga. Every time I think that nothing can possibly be more sick than the last sickest thing I saw, don't they just go and do it again only more so.

By the way, didn't get a chance to catch up at Picocon, but apparently you're now back in Cambridge?

Given some of the things people managed to dig up for the AMV Hell series (decapitation porn?), I suspect that Japan may long since have crossed the perversion event horizon. We're just seeing the final, dying echoes as it recedes from view into a whole new universe of smut.

I think I'm inherently less surprised by doujinshi because all it takes is one guy who feels like drawing it and another one who feels like scanning it. Mass-market manga with actual print runs, yeah, but again it's harder to surprise you if you expect just about anything, if you see what I mean.

I moved back in July and I'm in [livejournal.com profile] mobbsy's old place. I found I missed the place.
