She's certainly allowed to have her own opinion, but. Yuuna isn't the first ecchi series in the magazine by a long shot, and the average reader of the magazine is now over the age of 18, sooo? I don't really understand the point. Not like trying to make an outcry for attention will change anything. Hasn't for years.
Honestly these words are much more disgusting than the whole deal with nipples. But overall its hilarious when people make such statements and think anyone cares
You forgot
Kimetsu will not let up.
Given the likes and retweets, it looks like some people do care.
You know, Samurai 8 is having a pretty solid consistency all things considered.
She can condemn all that she wants. Nothing will change about this, and this discussion is irrelevant as well since it's not the first time that a series on WSJ has such things. lol This time not even from JP, so this is even more irrelevant.

Yeah, idk why we should care about a random person posting something on twitter.
That's the whole point, though. Women have been seen only as sexual objects for years and had to cope with the matter silently, especially in a very misogynous society like Japan, but recently they have found their voice. Times are changing, you'll see this more and more often. WSJ's and manga/anime in general have seen an increase in their female audience and of course they will get angry at stuff like this. The lack of a woman in their editorial department to deal with this kind of stuff is showing here. The way WSJ tried to make this pass and expect everyone to turn a blind eye to it is completely irresponsible. Also, how many many stuff were just slapped with "it has been like this for years" but desperately needed a change? If anything, that kind of statement is just an excuse for someone that condones it or is trying get away with enjoying this kind of material and fearing it won't stay around.
I'm not trying to "get away" with enjoying this kind of material like it's some sort of cardinal sin. I also have no fear whatsoever that it won't stay around. It may appear in a different format, but it will still be there. The original person who was comparing it to men's supposed fantasy of "murder and rape" and her several xenophobic comments against the Japanese is kind of where I draw the line.
Meh... The way mags are sold in Japan kids can grab adult mags off the shelves as well, they're literally next to each other.

Since you don't really make the age of WSJ readers an issue, I'll ignore that for now and ask you, how is sexualizing and objectifying men in particularly romantically charged shoujo/josei any different or more permissible?
Is further discussion on it prohibited?
On the Yuuna thing? No. I'm just saying, for future reference, don't link rando's Twitter's in here. Linking Twitter in here should be informative to the magazine itself. Not just people complaining about so and so from X series, like in this case.
That is more suited for the specific thread/section of the series.
I don't really care to continue this topic at all but.... I find it funny how 99% of the people who are complaining think that Yuuna being extremely ecchi is anything new for WSJ when nipples have been shown in Jump series for decades now lol
