Someone is risking a curse right there.

Been a while since Tawadoko showed up, good to see her again. She ain't happy with what she sees, though...

Oh wow, she's actually jelly. So adorable.

I can't make heads or tails of what the title is trying to say. Doesn't help that it appears to be a pure katakana rendering of a sentence that is almost certainly supposed to have a few kanji in it.

ワタシトイウモノガアリナガラ

Give the poor girl a swimsuit to show off in.

Literally something like "while you have me". It's a set phrase used when expressing jealousy or accusing someone of cheating. I don't know if it's used a lot in real life, but I've seen it in manga and stuff.

Ah I remember those. Though usually it's "even though you have me..."

I have a feeling the next time we see her she's gonna try to "flaunt" what she has in an attempt to seduce him. It'll probably be one part cute, one part sexy, one party hilarious, and one part horrifying.

How many monitors does this guy have?

Also, why are they positioned so that they face each other instead of the user? If he knows he's haunted by Sada-chan, that's like begging for her to catch him in the act.

"Cheer-chan? I placed a curse on her, because I'm here for you, aren't I?!"

She's not Ikazuchi! She's far too busty for that, after all.

Also, it's adorable she's acting like she considers herself his girlfriend considering how their... "relationship" started.

Say, since she has three appearances already, appears to be going to become a recurring character, and Himura has referred to her twice by the moniker "Sada-chan" (first time in her second appearance a year ago), should we tag her as sada-chan_(tawawa)?

Maybe the whole deal from the start with this particular Sadako was just that she was stalking cute dudes, and she's particularly obsessed with this one because she can't actually get to him.

My sides, they hurt from laughing

I doubt it. Her first appearance makes it abundantly clear who she is, and it's a preexisting character (Sadako) with an alternate bust size.

She doesn't simply have an alternate bust size, her personality is drastically different. From little I know, the real Sadako Yamamura would have neither been deterred by a screen's size nor would she have mellowed out into a clingy tsundere who obviously no longer has any desire to do harm (let alone kill) the guy she's now "haunting". This Sada-chan is based on Sadako, but doesn't seem to be intended to literally be her.

Besides, even if we go by the "same person/character" approach you're advocating, it's not like Danbooru is a stranger to having separate tags for distinct alternate versions of a particular character/person (e.g. Merlin, who has been featured in Fate fan art long before the Fate/Protoype version and mainline Fateverse version were introduced).

@MarqFJA87 Moe Sadako is not a new concept and Himura did not create Sada-chan in a vacuum; her debut piece (post #3198589) is even an explicit reference to the movie. Giving Sada-chan her own independent tag is not helpful for people searching.

1. I never said Himura invented Moe Sadako.

2. Sada-chan isn't merely "Moe Sadako". She's "Moe Sadako with Tawawa-class Big Tiddies and romantically entangled with a faceless male character in a comic where all the females' appearances focus on their boobs in some way or the other", plus anything else that I'm forgetting; or to put another way, she's a clearly distinct character of her own.

3. The only time Sada-chan actually behaves like the character she's parodying is in her first appearance, which is why I left the yamamura sadako and the ring tags there. We even have precedent for this approach in this pool, where those two tags are only applied to the first two pages/posts.

4. Note how you're only one of two people who ever took issue with my creation and implementation of the tag; a lot of people commented on the most recent Sada-chan post, and yet none of them even batted an eye. I even asked a "senior" poster to give me their feedback regarding the newly created tag (among polishing up other Tawawa tags), and they told me there's no problem.

5. By your logic, we should be tagging king arthur whenever we tag artoria pendragon and herakles with berserker, among many other such tags. Come back to me when that gets implemented before trying to convince me that I'm doing something wrong.

At risk of poking a hornets nest, I do take issue with points 2, 3 and 5.

On point 2, she has precious little characterization since she has four posts total. First post is her intro, second is her being trolled while initially playing up the "Ring" angle, and the third and fourth are the ones which have started to distinguish her as "Sada-chan" while still keeping her as "Sadako". You could call her Sada-chan, yes, but she's not really been fully separated from "Yamamamura Sadako" quite yet. Hell, she's still living inside the screen, in the well from the movie! She's cute, yes. She has big boobs, yes. She's jealous, yes. But she's not quite a fully separate character yet. She's close, but not quite.

On point 3, I would say all of her posts should at minimum have "the ring" as a tag because, well, she's a parody of it and is wedded to the concept behind it of a ghost that haunts (and can cross) through the TV. Same reason that if Erma were posted on here (webcomic which could well be something like the "afterstory" of this particular story), her mother would probably need the tag on at least some of her posts where she's using the TV in that manner.

On point 5, Fate characters pretty much are fantasy characters inspired by their historical, mythological, or folkloric antecedents. If you are searching for them, you are not searching for the historical character, and vice versa. "Sada-chan" here runs into the issue, however, of not really being all that distinct from her source yet. Emphasis on the "yet". With how this story seems to be progressing, I have little doubt she will either do exactly that within about two more featured strips, or swing back to being a Ring parody.

I didn't know this "senior poster" outranked a mod. I even kept your new tag on as a compromise, but for you to go and revert my edits is something else entirely.

If you feel that strongly about Sada-chan being an OC-do-not-steal, then bring it up in the forum. Change the tags again, you're getting a ban.

... How was I supposed to know that you are a mod rather than a normal poster as I originally believed? It's not like there's anything that distinguishes either one in the comment section. Am I supposed to check every single unfamiliar commenter's profile before I respond to them?

And yes, I will bring this up in the forum. This issue deserves more feedback.

MarqFJA87 said:

There's actually an option in the advanced user settings that changes the colors of usernames for you

Since when normal posters have blue backgrounds in their comments? It's pretty obvious he/she is a moderator.

I mean there is the custom CSS style set up under advanced options. In addition, posts with a blue background are mod+ posts that generally mean that what the person is saying is important.

So I say the onus is on you to be sure you know who you are talking to.

I did not know about that - or maybe I glossed over it for some reason on the few times that I ever saw a reason to look at the settings pages. <changes the option to "yes"> Well, how about that? Now this is far better!

What blue backgrou-- <looks at the posts in question>

... Alright, who in their right mind chose a shade of blue so pale that it practically blends into the white background of the page so well that I didn't even notice it was there until you guys pointed it out?!

Playing color blind now? It's really notorious specially when you scroll through comments. A black border like the quote blocks wouldn't hurt though.

[deleted]

I didn't notice it until it was pointed out either.

Glad to see I'm not alone in this. Seriously, why pale blue? Why not red or yellow, or even green? Those would almost certainly stand out better against a white background, even if they're a pale shade.

PS: For those wondering, I've been struggling with an unexpected onset of excruciating neck and shoulder cramps over the past couple of days (could barely move my head in any direction at the worst of it!), hence why I have yet to make good on taking the issue to the forum. I've gotten significantly better today, though.

I'll be frank, I strained through my memory and could vaguely remember seeing this absurdly pale blue shading on Danbooru posts before, but on only comments where I had been name-mentioned in a completely ordinary context (which naturally would send me a notification alerting me to this), so my thought process at the time went "Oh, this shading is supposed to highlight the comment whose link I clicked in the notification message. Odd that it's so pale, though; I was lucky to have even noticed it." Of course, given how rare I get name-mentioned, I soon forgot about it entirely.

Not to toot my own horn here or anything, but this is why I changed the color for modposts in topic #9588 to a bright red.

Also, high contrasting colors for different user classes.

What I hear when I see that face.

Topic created.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we see a power tripping Danbooru mod in his natural habitat. That is to say, behind a computer screen in its smelly apartment with months-old dirty clothes, takeout boxes, and Mountain Dew bottles littering the floor. This creature and its kind does not believe that it could ever be wrong, and becomes increasingly agitated when this reality is questioned. How it has evolved to become this way over the millennia is indeed a question for the ages.

Go ahead and ban me if you want, you pathetic fuck.

Gonna throw my hat in the ring against the mod here as well, chill out. The guy gave you legit multi paragraphs about his reasoning and actions and you reply with nothing more then "Respect muh authority! I'm important!" With the cherry on top of threatening to ban him. Good Lord.

@Deygotwingsnow & @FloppyCat: You could also throw your two cents in this forum topic revolving around this very same issue.

@Deygotwingsnow It's time for you to drop this silliness. The matter in topic #16299 has already been settled; the character here is clearly a reference to Sadako, so the tag stays. Continuing this stupid edit war of yours is only going to get you banned for tag vandalism.

Let them ban me. Until they do, I'll keep going. I'm doing this for nobody else but myself, and it's been that way since the start. Hell, in any other circumstance, I would most likely even agree with the verdict, that the tag should stay. But the moment a mod pulls the "I'm a mod so I'm automatically correct, respect my authority or be banned" shit, he becomes my personal enemy no matter how right he actually is.

I've seen mod power abuse on this site far more than this single instance. The last time I called one out over it, I was told to "Just go somewhere else if you don't like it here". That's exactly what I've been doing. This is nothing other than my personal little "fuck you" to the entire danbooru moderation team. I've decided to die on this hill despite it being so irrational and insignificant. Come get me.
