  • No problem! It can be very confusing when you're first getting into manga trying to figure out how you move through the panels. Once you get the hang of the ideas though most mangaka nowadays have been pretty good at laying out their panels to kind of draw your eyes naturally through the page in the order you need to go.

  • Basically the priority is to make as many unbroken right to left lines across the whole page as possible. You don't generally move down unless you've reached the leftmost edge of the page. Notice how here if I draw lines across the panels to show the path my eyes take and read 12 before 10-11 my reading line is going to run back into the line I made already? So you read 9 and go to the next line, considering 12 to be part of that lower line so that your reading lines don't intersect.

  • Kind of, yeah. Though if a larger panel is on the right rather than the left you consider the top of the panel rather than the bottom. So like if you swapped 12 with the 9, 10, 11 cluster it would just be 12, 9, 10, 11.

  • You tend to finish the right to left line to the end of the page before moving down any. So if 2 panels are in the same "line" like 2 and 3 are, then you finish out that line before moving down. In a case where one panel is larger and spans multiple lines it'll generally be laid out to belong to it's lowest line if it's on the left side of the page, or the highest line on the right side of the page. So since 12 covers both the line with 9, and the one with 10 and 11 on it you'll generally read it as belonging to that lower line and it'll be 12.

  • Add to that radicalization pipeline bit the fact that obscene wealth like what Notch came into tends to be extremely socially isolating and directly causes people to lose touch with reality. Not to be like "oh the poor billionaires," but having that kind of money literally causes mental illness. For their own good, no one should be allowed to have that kind of money.

  • IMO it's probably most likely an overzealous bootleg detection system hitting a false positive or someone selling a really convincing bootleg.

    Don't get me wrong, Nintendo absolutely wants to kill the used market. Iirc multiple executives have been on record voicing opposition to the used game market. But I definitely think it's more likely that they got a false positive on the "is this game pirated?" detector and nuked the console.

  • To add to this, for many phobic leaning people they have never actually met a trans person in their lives. The most exposure they have to us is the propaganda they've been fed for years about how we're all either groomers or were ourselves groomed into being trans. The closest a lot of them have come to a real life trans person is a cis woman they've mistakenly labeled as trans in their minds because they find her kind of ugly.
