@Memor-X: to be fair, there's almost nothing for the fandom (at least in terms of fanfic/etc., as far as I know)
But man, isn't Kanbaru supposed to not be into men? Unless I'm wrong, I tbh find those pictures/etc. of her with Araragi a bit distasteful
 
@Maroon yes she is supposed to be a lesbian
but you know how it is with otakus and their waifu being gay
 
@Maroon which is why i kinda think her answering the phone saying she's Araragi's "erotic slave" is actually an attempt to ruin him so he and Senjōgahara break up and take his place with Senjōgahara
 
I guess the flip-side - feminist-ish fans breaking "canon" het relationships to make same-sex ones - bothers me slightly less simply because there's less of a sense of whatever the sexual orientation of white-washing is, even if I also find it silly
 
ofcause maybe i'm staved for a long Shoujo Ai/Yuri story
 
@Memor-X: hmmm that actually makes so much more sense now
*the sexual orientation equivalent of white-washing, I mean
 
12:28 AM
@Maroon what? me wanting Senjōgahara and Kanbaru only because i'm staved for Shoujo Ai/Yuri?
 
@Memor-X: nope, not that, I was referring to fans making gay characters (i.e. Kanbaru) interested in the opposite sex in doujinshi or whatever
 
12:55 AM
@Memor-X Tamen De Gushi is pretty good

Q: What should be done about image search requests that may not be trivially resolvable to a fraction of users?

MaroonWhen I was looking at this question, I noticed some votes to close it as per the consensus reached here. I didn't have SafeSearch turned on, but in any case, I failed to get any useful results from the Google Reverse Image Search. iqdb, which does not appear to filter for sexually explicit materi...

 
@OshinoShinobu seems ok though the chapters are kinda short, 3 - 6 pages each. kinda find a Wikipedia Entry on just how many chaoters there are but guess i'm hoping far too much to find a Shoujo Ai/Yuri title which is about a long as One Piece or Naruto and still going
 
I have 58 chapter so far
I doubt there is yuri as long as naruto and one piece
 
@OshinoShinobu i see 60 on MangaFox and it says it's ongoing
 
yea but I can't open mangafox
unless using proxy
 
1:06 AM
@OshinoShinobu mangafox blocked where you are?
 
yea because of stupid law
mangafox and mangareader, I don't know about another site
I can open batoto tho
 
@OshinoShinobu law?
 
yea they said internet positive law or whatever and that site have porn, gambling, racism or something
 
mangapark
 
those idiots
 
1:10 AM
can load all images at once
@OshinoShinobu pssh
 
@OshinoShinobu doesn't that block out most of the internet? like 90%
 
yea that's why they are stupid and hypocrite
@SeptianPrimadewa pretty accurate
 
1:52 AM
so glad i moved out of indonesia
no, I was addressing how they censor internet there lol
i might have a higher chance of being beaten up as a minority in Los Angeles, but at least I can watch anime, and read manga freely here
 
@Frosteeze i don't get it, to me the guy's just an idiot saying he understands the code but doesn't understand a simple loop
 
^ and that's why it's funny
 
@Frosteeze I like how he wants to know what each character does. Not each token, but each character. You'd need to explain a nontrivial amount of lexical analysis just to do that.
 
@OshinoShinobu try a vpn service instead
 
2:16 AM
Anyone else get useless arabic text when you try to search for this image?
(yes, my language is set to English)
 
@LoganM one result for me is Bashaar ‫بشار افلام كارتون‬‎ - YouTube though that's like the only English i see even when i go onto youtube
 
Google is broken.
 
could mean it's from an arabic series which wasn't good enough to be subbed
 
I blame @Mysticial
@Memor-X It's the image used at anime.stackexchange.com/questions/21618/…
 
lol
 
2:20 AM
I don't know if Igano Kabamaru has an English translation. Probably not.
Maybe it's not a good example image if it doesn't work anymore.
 
@LoganM should use something from a well known anime
 
I don't think it should be too well-known.
Would give the impression that it's only useful for questions about very well known series.

Q: Do the class cards physically exist in the main Fate universe?

senshinIn the Prisma Illya universe, the class cards (cf. below) are physically real magical items. But what about in the "main" Fate universe, where Fate/stay night is set? Do the class cards physically exist there (even perhaps in some non-magical capacity)? We do see a fair bit of them in the VN,...

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation comes out on Steam on the 29th of this month, and it'll be on sale for 50% off ($14.99) for a little while
 
i thought it was june 2
well no worries, i hear we get akiba strip in two days
 
@Frosteeze well i'm going off the date in IF's email and it says May 29th
@Frosteeze that's Undead and Undressed right?

Q: I wanted to know of all anime database sites which offer API, in order of the best API

ShikamaruI am working on a creating a recommendation system for anime using Machine Learning algorithms, I am looking for data to use as training sets and I need access to anime details. so any recommendations would be appreciated.

 
@Sakamoto i'm sure that would be off-topic because it's more about machine learning and anime
 
O hi yo/
 
@Memor-X No, the question doesn't ask anything about machine learning.
But I think it's essentially a duplicate of my database list question, at least as far as we can answer it at all.
 
@LoganM yeh it does, they are making a recommendation system with Machine Learning algorithms and want current apis to be used a learning sets for the algorithm. at least that's what i understood from it
 
4:42 AM
@Memor-X That's what he wants to do. But the actual question is just about which ones have APIs.
That's a question we can at least nominally answer. But we can't reasonably rank them in any objective way.
 
@LoganM ahhh ok, fair enough, i didn't bother touching that question because i wasn't 100% sure
 
I'd just mark it as a duplicate and move on.

what is the definition of the wallpaper tag?
 
@LoganM your uni is open during memorial day?
tomorrow i meant
 
No, they're closed officially.
Doesn't really mean much apart from administrative offices being closed though.

@Memor-X why , so good morning
 
Good morning
 
@Frosteeze I wish I could remove the stars without turning off the script.
 
ya that's a bit inconvenient
 
Did it manually this time, but having to turn off the script, reload the page, and then turn the script back on is a bit of a pain.
 
5:59 AM
mm-hmm
 
@OshinoShinobu Recently, I'm using kissmanga. Can you access it?
 
Almost considered just deleting the message since it would be faster.
 
@LoganM You can type $.post('http://chat.stackexchange.com/messages/{id}/unstar') into the developer console (F12).
Though you'd need to have the ID on hand, which the userscript hides from you.
 
There's no way I'm going to remember that.
 
6:20 AM
@nhahtdh if a two different user post two different image and ask which anime this image is from and the anime is same for both question , will one be marked as duplicate of another
 
@mirroroftruth Yes, but why are you replying to that message?
There is an exception, where if the question contains too many images, then it should be closed as too broad. Or if the questions are easily identifiable, then it should be closed dup as the guide
 
isn't there a script that adds unstar/unpin buttons to chat transcript message menu?

Why even taking it?

if he's gonna post a library of images he has
 
do we close that as a duplicate of that image search thing or as low quality id req?
 
I dunno actually
like, I'm pretty sure it's fan art - but I guess that's not obvious if you reverse search it?
 
even tosh-senpai doesn't know the answer D:
 
@nhahtdh no, still can't access it

the original
 
7:33 AM
looks pretty :3
 
Mark them as duplicates if they're actually answerable trivially via reverse image search. If not, then answer them normally.
 
theoretically it could be from an anime
 
well I vc it based on duplicate reason
 
reverse searching didn't get me that link :o
 
7:36 AM
I doubt Google would give it to you unless you search in Japanese.
Easiest way to find the original pixiv link is to use SauceNAO and select the Pixiv database. iqdb doesn't have pixiv indexed, but it'll sometimes still work if you happen to find the image with a link to the source.
 
Google reverse image search only gives you pleb results.
 
i am a pleb
 
@ton.yeung manga ?
Haise is not ****** ?

8:06 AM
Great. We start a new policy which is supposed to simplify dealing with trivial identification questions. Within a week people are abusing it to close any image-based identification request.
It doesn't surprise me that people can't even follow the rules, but it is a bit depressing and makes me wonder whether it's even worth trying to fix the real problems on this site, or if too many people are afraid of the identification-request boogieman to even have a serious discussion.
 
one solution is to have no id requests :3
but seriously, I imagine all non-trivial rules do take some time to be integrated into the community
 
Except that there's literally no new rule here. That's why I proposed this method. Our existing duplicate rules cover the situation. But people are marking duplicates now without even checking whether it's even answered by the duplicate post.
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they'll learn after a few giving outs
 
If it actually gets better, sure. But people have gotten worse over time with most of the close reasons. "Primarily Opinion Based" has almost become a synonym for "I don't know the answer to this", and when various meta policies we decided on years ago keep springing back randomly, no one even remembers the old discussions.
 
@LoganM Calm down. I'll reconsider this the next time we have image id-requests.
 
8:21 AM
@LoganM Flag them
We'll reopen
 
I guess that's just the price of a larger userbase
 
I'd rather use the reopen queue first. That's what it's there for.
 
we can mark old metas as duplicates and stuch
 
@LoganM Which is currently empty.
 
meh I'm just an old fogey who wants all these kids to get off my lawn. You guys should ignore me, especially at 4 in the morning.

@LoganM You should get internet at your home, then you wouldn't have to be at work at 4 in the morning
 
@Taisho Samurai Champloo was a good show
 
@LoganM Look, it was a misunderstanding. I thought any non-trivial image searches should be closed with that reason. You yourself found it through SauceNao so why isn't that non-trivial?
 
@Frosteeze SauceNao isn't on the tutorial page. We could add it though.
 
@Frosteeze trivial in my books = follow the steps in the tutorial, get an answer on the first page.
 
8:25 AM
There's a meta post of reverse search engines
 
@nhahtdh no both are hard to find
 
@MadaraUchiha same in my book
 
Get an answer with hardly needing to click any of the links in the results page.
 
could merge it into that answer with a community answer
 
@ToshinouKyouko It's no longer a meta.

@ToshinouKyouko That's what I was referring to
I couldve sworn SauceNao was on that list

A: An arsenal of tools and know-hows for tackling identification request questions

I generally use the same ones @Taisho does.
 
@LoganM I've actually forgotten about that aspect of duplicate questions
 
8:29 AM
@MadaraUchiha no real opinion on this.
 
Anonymous users don't get to see them, they go straight to the duplicate
 
Yes, but registered users will see them.
Honestly, I don't really care. I think a lot of them will get deleted by the roomba anyway.
If a few remain, I don't think we need to go out of our way to delete them. But that's just me.
 
@LoganM Duplicates don't get roomba'd
 
Looks like you're right about that.
I thought they did, but either that changed or I remembered wrong.
In that case, I still say I don't really care. Most of the posts will just sit around for a long time, but won't really be visible and won't hurt anything. But if there are really bad ones I'd be fine deleting them.
Personally, I don't see much reason to delete if unregistered users won't even see them. But if other people want to, I also see little reason to stop them. It just doesn't matter 99% of the time in my view.
That said, if someone can point to a real cost of keeping them around, we could delete them.

@Hakase yeah :D
@HellButterfly this should probably be [featured]
 
@Unihedron I'd prefer the site design topic take precedence over this, which is why I didn't feature it
 
ok :)
 
I'll probably feature this one after a week. I'm a bit afraid that featuring too much all at once might split people's attention

Random idea: maybe our logo should be placed on the right side of the page rather than left.
Cos all the site logos I've seen are always on the left
And putting ours on the right will give a manga-ish vibe.
Maybe .. :p

A: Hey! Listen! Let's have a talk about our site design! (The Idea Gathering 2015 Edition)

Ero SɘnninHow about a new position for our stack logo? All the SE (graduated) sites have their logo on top, either on the left side or in the middle. But ours should be on the right side. Why? Because mainly, it would give a manga-vibe and also, it will be certainly different.

 
That's bad in term of UX
Note that Chinese and Japanese sites have the same design as English sites in general
Dunno about Arabic or RTL scripts, though. They are probably reversed.
 
I'm back from Comic Con ^_^
Have I missed anything cool?
 
@nhahtdh I see the point. But I think it would be much of a bother because only the alignment is changed
Wouldn't*
 
2:39 PM
It will change positions of the Questions, etc. buttons
 
You mean the position of the buttons will also be reversed?
 
No, but if you place the logo on the right side, won't the buttons have to move?

No. Take ELU.se for eg
Their logo is on top
And its in the middle
The buttons are directly below the logo, also aligned to the centre
 
I think putting it to the right is weird
