Surely you don't expect me to take that seriously, do you ? I mean, it's fine as a joke and all that, but it's just more assumptions, with no substance behind it or even actual reasoning...

All the talk about "Well maybe it has a deeper meaning is akin to saying "Well maybe the pedophile was just handing out candy at the local kintergarden to make up for his crimes!"

I've been ordering to Yoji to make the character more erotic, and he did it well. Recently I've been making characters this way. (cont)
