God no, that never ended well.


And thus began Inferi's deep seated phobia of Bronze Butter knives and Giant Rats.

When I was very young, I used to jump into a whirlpool for the lolz. I think it led to a cave if you had the right thing equipped, but I didn't so I washed up on shore, but for some reason thought that was the funniest shit ever.

Those were simpler times.


I think you were meant to talk to a guy instead, learning the barbarian ways of the moose, or something like that. I really wasn't paying attention after he taught me how to set fires with my bow.

About Made in Abyss,
I lol'd
Seriously, the cartoony appearance kills everything. I don't know how Rectangle-Cheeks broke the bone, you can't just snap a bone like that. And there's no way you'd inhale after having a broken bone, you would immediately scream in pain. Also, if these are kids, why does one sound like an adult, and the other with a voice that's way too high-pitched? Cutting meat does not make that much squishy noises, and the strokes are all off, pivoting a blade won't cut much. Apparently, having your arm cut badly doesn't hurt. EVIL DRAGONFLIES OF DOOM. The rounded face and teardrops made me chuckle.
So, ya, a cartoony character wearing a bunny cap kinda kills seriousness. I don't know if in Japan this is considered horror or what, but after reading a few comments, well, let's just say all those people would be easy targets for criminals.


"More importantly, would you roleplay a character who was white and used racial slurs against a different race?"

Damn right I would, NotFishing. I'd have no problem RPing as a white guy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and called black people niggers/porch monkeys/apes/"shrivel-up your lips!", Muslims pedophile-worshippers/muzzies/ragheads/eggheads/tell them to blow up/"Islam is a blast!", Asians chinks/slit-eyes, Hispanics illegals/pot-smokers, Hindus cow-fuckers, Native Americans "can't swim"/"Why aren't you on your reserve?", Jews as backstabbers, "Hitler was right!", and whatever else I can think of. It's easier to use racial slurs against the dark-skins than white people. Of course, none of that actually reflects who I actually am, I just have boldness.

Honestly, the main reason my threads don't go into the extremes, or that I don't go into the extremes, is because I can get banned for it, and I value my activity for the threads I am involved in. If we were in a forum with no rules, I'd make some pretty hardcore threads.

Oh, and just in case I am accused of bias, I can also poke fun at Christianity. It is literally the only religion that worships a god, who comes down in human form, who sacrifices himself unto himself, to redeem a blood-based curse, after being a convicted criminal, who was once a carpenter killed on a timber (basically, Bloodborne and Dark Souls put together).

About Made in Abyss,


The art style grows on you, I think. It’s a style that’s very reminiscent of what you might expect in a child’s story book, and considering the story is centred on pre-teen children, the rounded appearances do begin to make sense.

Put in spoiler marks for Inferi. :p

I disagree with your bone breaking statement on two points. A) “Rectangle-Cheeks” has augmented strength, and B) he is shown to have the arm on a pivot and he had the weight of a relatively big pointed rock. Could he break the bone cleanly with just that? Probably not, and it’s revealed later that he left bone splinters through her arm.

As for the stock “cutting” sounds, come on. Don’t try telling me they don’t appear in every horror movie ever. If it sounded realistic, the audience would have no idea what’s going on.

Screaming isn't the immediate response to heavy damage (and following this trope is a very b-grade horror thing to do). Remember, you’re damaging the nerves, so heavy damage will always hurt less than superficial damage. That’s not to say it wouldn’t hurt like hell, but I think it would take the brain time to work out what’s going on.

That said, my experiences only come from seeing bone breakages, not full blown amputations.
