Calling all Lurkers: Share your Dreams of Effortposting

It’s been pointed out recently that the topics discussed in the Culture War thread have gotten a bit repetitive. While I do think the Motte has a good spread on intellectual discussion, I’m always pushing for a wider range (dare I say diversity?) of viewpoints and topics in the CW thread.

I was a lurker for years, and I know that the barrier between having a thought and writing a top level comment in the CW thread can loom large indeed. Luckily I’m fresh out of inspiration, and would love to hear thoughts from folks about effortposts they want to write but haven’t gotten around to.

This of course applies to regulars who post frequently as well - share any and all topics you wish were discussed in the CW thread!

I've been thinking about doing an effort post ethnography of /r/manga. I spend enough time there, and in other anime/manga communities, I think I've got some funny/interesting anecdotes and analysis about it. Does that sound interesting to anyone else or just me?

Actually interesting to me, because I hate /r/manga and their shit 35 yo teenager taste in /popular but still go there sometimes to see something /new.

I mostly do just browse by popular. What stuff do you see in /new that you like? I rarely see anything particularly good there besides some occasional under rated yuri

I don't pride myself on taste in manga, nor keep a list. Some minor relatively unpopular things I've liked:

  • After god

  • Hero has returned

  • Ragna Crimson

  • Shinazu no Ryousen

  • Ryuuma no Gagou

  • Thank you Isekai

occasional under rated yuri

Ah, you mean Onee-sama to Watashi: Ojou-sama ga Isekai Tensei?

Ah, you mean Onee-sama to Watashi: Ojou-sama ga Isekai Tensei?

I didn't have anything in particular in mind, I just know I've sometimes seen yuri romances that would probably have 5-10x as many upvotes if the one of the characters was swapped with a generic male
