"Perhaps it comes from a fear of the loss of self identity?"

Not specificaly but pretty close to that, yeah.

"Yeah there are some really talented folks out there but there's also a plethora of stange and disturbing dreck. My problem is the Futa artwork that's becoming increasingly popular. As you know I like strong female characters, very well built, muscular, but still obviously feminine. Now it seems I cannot seach for a muscular warrior like woman with finding three or four Futa images. And then I'm screaming at my monitor "There can be strong muscular ladies without having to attach a penis to the image you bastards!" So that's my personal outrage for the time being."

I swear, you just read my mind there. Yeah, I noticed the trend just exploded for quite some time now. But you probably know my pet-peeve, since I once mentioned that they do it even to our Mamonos so I got nothing else to add.

"Well Lance I think you just answered your own question there. She likes other women, she has no interest in guys. So if in order to win a Mamono in this Universe she has to be with a guy. Then she has no interest in that idea because being with a guy for her is utterly unappealing. Wheras in Monster Musume she could get with a gay Monster there and not need a guy."

That's fair, I suppose. Maybe there might be a setting out there that's like MGE but with hard yuri... ? Besides, Monster Musume is almost just as good as MGE in my opinion, as both depict monster-girls in a way that I love (there are a few more settings out there in the style of MGE and MM but I can't quite remember what they're called).

"I never understood the hatred the Matangos get, it's established that the spores work in the same way as Demonic Energy, they are DE Spores basically. And that DE doesn't mind control you so the spores don't either. So the idea that the Matango and the subspecies (I forget what they're called) control you is wrong and stupid. I think those edge lord types just want something to attack and destroy and the Matango was a good target as any."

Well, it did kinda looked like that from the profile, something along the lines of "spores-growing-something-something-on-people", which I bet got super misunderstood like a lot of other Mamono profiles. I remember there was a mention of "if one person carrying Matango spores enters a village, soon the whole village turns into a Matango village" on the profile, which likely gave everyone who read it Last Of Us vibes to Matangos. There's also the detail of mushrooms growing on you body, which I agree that it can be... gross. To be fair, the Matango is one of the earliest Mamonos to come out so I feel KC's writing didn't aged well either (there was a mention of Lamias strangling their husbands out of jelousy in the early works but soon after that got changed so maybe it's the same case of outdated writing too ?). Honestly though, compared to what I've seen elsewhere, Matangos look like kittens (Nekomatas maybe ?). Btw, the Matango relative you are refering to are Myconids; those can walk around but don't release any kind of spores, which I guess it's an improvement of sorts.

Anyways, on to our bussiness; I don't feel like talking about that 'other thing' because it's friday and I'm in a good mood. And before we talk about MM, I want to show you something...



Tada ! Meet Meri's mom. I had to edit the tail and a front portion of her hair. A bit of a rushed, amateur job but other than that I feel shd looks fairly good. What do you think ?
