[youraffection]

oh no man im not into this kinda stuff
lol isnt it 4 girls?
the seller i usuall go 2 started selling doujin i guess and i couldnt help myself

[fabrefactions]

[high-pitched sounds of distress]

That sounds like a fairly generalised assumption. I thought they were simply fan made stories?

[youraffection]

i guess technically but lbr most of them are like sappy love stuff

[fabrefactions]

[yosuke you have no idea. he still has to remind circles he doesn't take pornography scripts.]

Is that so? I suppose that when people are given the freedom to indulge in their fantasies, romance and companionship is the common and preferred method through which to do so.

[youraffection]

[ No, please tell him all about it! ]

yea like i said its 4 girls
u think i should get it 4 a girl?

[fabrefactions]

[he will never speak of it.]

... why do you assume that romance is just for women? Some of the best works that have survived generations, loved by both genders alike, focus on romance.

And I thought you were buying magazines...?

[PLEASE DO NOT BUY HIS DOUJINSHIS, YOSUKE.... PLEASE.....]

[youraffection]

ok but if u say the notebook then i dont think we can b friends anymore
yea and i still am
just u know
might b funny

[fabrefactions]

I was thinking more along the lines of Pride and Prejudice, or The Princess Bride personally.

[wait]

... Wouldn't you have had to see the Notebook yourself to be able to pass such judgement on it, Yosuke...?

[youraffection]

the princess bride is diff
its got more going on than romance!

[ The point ------------------------------ Yosuke ]

what???
no
no
like
everyone knows the notebook is a pos
EVERYONE

[ Yes he has. ]

[fabrefactions]

But the romance is the core of the action and the adventure. What drives the plot is Westley and Buttercup's undying devotion towards one another. If they had simply given up on each other immediately, there would be no plot.

[Take that.

... Oh. Oh Yosuke.]

Yet it's considered a classic romance movie, and holds a "fresh" rating on that movie rating website, so clearly not everyone thinks it is subpar.
It was perhaps a little heavy handed, though.

[Did you watch it with Yu, Yosuke? Did you??]

[youraffection]

but itd be super boring if all it was was just 2 ppl declaring undying affection 2 each other
it had 2 have the action and comedy!

[ Look he likes that movie so it can't be romance. That's logic right there. ]

dude u and me both know that a good movie rating doesnt mean is a good movie
i mean look how popular 50 shades is

[ THAT'S NONE OF YUSUKE'S BUSINESS.

Also Yu does apparently have awful taste in movies. ]

[fabrefactions]

I'm not saying it doesn't have action and comedy, but the romance is the spark that lit the flames that spawned into the masterpiece of multiple genres that it is. It isn't less of a movie for including romance, not when it was a well written one that actually had a purpose being there.

[why are you being such a fragile flower, yosuke. he expected better of you.]

... fifty shades has a 10% rating on that website, ergo...

[did they snuggle and cry on each other's shoulders?]

[youraffection]

ok well
its just
diff when romance is just a part of the plot rather than like the entirety of it
u know??

[ He's just too super manly for chick flicks ok. ]

ok so some ppl have taste
thats good

[ Does grumbling and complaining and then being unable to sleep later count? ]

[fabrefactions]

I never argued against that. I would agree, in fact. A romance added for the sake of fulfilling the quota of "having a romance" does no good for the storyline and likely wouldn't hold the interest of the viewers.

Something well written that adds to the story instead of pulling away from it is worth enjoying.

[... what does one have to do with the other??]

it's true. I can't imagine a single good thing about those movies, or those books.

[... please tell him that you two haven't watched 50 shades.]

[youraffection]

ok
cool so we agree then

[ ...DO THEY? ]

its not like i think its dumb i just think its a waste if thats all it is

[ They have everything to do with each other. He's still in the midst of his sexuality crisis, ok, let him have this. ]

p sure thats bc ur not the intended demographic
u know
not a 40-something sexually frustrated housewife

[ No, Yosuke would not stoop that low. ]

[fabrefactions]

I agree. Especially if it's ... encroaching upon a plot that doesn't need it, or in a situation where stopping to consider mutual attraction would be ridiculous. Like, say... a civil war, or the apocalypse. [hello, hunger games.]

I'm also not a fan of love triangles.

[just ignore the labels and date who you want to date, yosuke. this is what yusuke would do if he were dating anyone and paid attention to romance.]

I'm surprised it has an intended demographic. The writing is so poor, it's almost illegible.

[youraffection]

omg right
i mean i totally get it if like everyone is gonna die so ur like fuck it one last bone
but yea beyond that running from zombies seems more important

[ He's thought about this. ]

lol right
rl doesnt even work out like that

[ Says the guy who as in a love triangle and had no idea.

But if it were that easy he wouldn't be having a crisis, Yusuke. Not everyone can be that chill.]

wait
r u saying u read it

[fabrefactions]

I can see the logic behind one last action before you die, yes. But if you're on the run or trying to survive and are taken out because you were busy making eyes at a companion, then you only have yourself to blame.

[He can tell.]

Correct. Love triangles seem ... overly dramatic and pointless. Are there really scenarios like that in real life?

[if only Yosuke was aware, he could tell him all about it.
try it though. being chill is fairly good. i mean, it also means he has no idea if/when someone does like him because he's so busy being oblivious but... at least you won't be stuck in a perpetual sexuality crisis?]

I flipped through the first book in the shop to see what the fuss was all about.

I still do not see what all the fuss was about.

[youraffection]

dude thats like the basis of half of the horror movies out there
dumb teens fucking and getting cut in half with a chainsaw
a tale as old as time

[ Or...something like that. ]

no way
2 much drama

[ That sounds much less stressful but also lonely. Like kisses are awesome, Yusuke. Have you ever tried? They're pretty damn awesome. ]

omg
im so sorry man
r u in need of an exorcism

[fabrefactions]

I had noticed that particular theme before, yes. Surely they would think to change things up a little, or you'd be aware of what was going to happen to everyone just by looking at them - who dies first, what actions will get you killed, etc.

[Disappointing.

He has Haru for cuddles and company. Also, is still completely oblivious so what can you do?]

I'm sure I will survive. Even if the grammar was absolutely appalling.

[youraffection]

im pretty sure they just want an excuse to put tits on screen
but hey on the upside the virgins all get 2 live so ud be set

[ He's trying to be funny but it's not like he's any different.

Haru cuddles...envious. ]

idk man that sounds harsh
i owe u a drink

[fabrefactions]

Sex sells. That's been fairly proven, after all.

[Um. Rude.]

We would both survive until the end it seems. Small victories, I suppose.

[He will bring out the ice burns if he has to, Yosuke. Don't think he won't.

You can have cuddles with Yu. Cuddles are readily available to both of them.]

What doesn't destroy you mentally makes you stronger.
I will grow from my experiences.

[youraffection]

wouldnt u rather go out with a bang
wow did i really type that
plz let me die
the twins r rubbing off on me

[ The puns are killing him.

Also he loves Yu but Yu doesn't have boobs. Which is good. But still. ]

so ur like building immunity to mediocrity or something

[fabrefactions]

You really typed that.
I'm glad your friendships are influencing you in new, exciting and positive ways.

[y u s u k e.

Please. If Yosuke asked Yu to wear a bra and stuff it, he totally would.]

An attempt was made, but I don't think I will be continuing the endeavour.

[youraffection]

no this is bs
ive fallen 2 far just let me die in obscurity

[ THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE WANTS YU TO DO IT. ]

thats prob smart
like stabbing an outlet and hoping u wont get shocked the 2nd time
