Shirakawa, Japan

Wow, I'd move there now if I could

So, is this HDR? It looks like a pic of a model or miniaturization.
How do you do that?

It is a real village in Japan, though it has become somewhat of a tourist attraction. It is notable for having no hotels, but where residents will allow visitors to spend a night in their home.

Looks like a timed exposure at night to me.

I don't think there was anything accidental about that. Do you? You wonderful, kind, naive boy.

Makes sense to me:

Drunk people suck.
No pets - the French are bad at leaving their dogs home.
No bombs.
No bombs.
Copyright.
No littering.
No taking up more space than you should.
No recording.
You're going to drop it and break it.
Duh.
Don't litter.
Don't litter.
Don't throw them at people.
I'm drawing a blank on ladders. But maybe I just don't go to enough concerts.
Helmets hide your face so you can do bad things.
Laser pointer in the eye to ruin a performance.
Duh.
No weapons. Duh.
No weapons. Duh.
Torches: see Lasers.
Megaphones: see lasers.
Power banks - probably because the cheap ones catch fire.
No weapons.
Can also be used as a weapon. Also, no pictures, so why do you need a selfie stick.
Copyright again.
No graffiti. Goddamn Italians.
No weapons. Duh.
No weapons. Duh.
I'm drawing a blank on shopping carts. But maybe I just don't go to enough concerts.
Umbrellas are probably a potential weapon, or could be used to conceal one.
Extension cords could be used as a weapon.
Hammers and screwdrivers are GREAT weapons.
I'm drawing a blank on adhesive tape. But maybe I just don't go to enough concerts.
Crowbars are the BEST weapons.
Weapons.
Weapons.
Wireless equipment is used to record the performances. Don't record the performances.
Bombs are obviously bombs.
As are Flares.
Drugs. Hooray.
Bomb rules.
No nazi swag.

Is that supposed to be a defense of creepy-forward behavior? Like, "no, no, ladies, you're all wrong about bodily autonomy - you want me to get handsy, because you never know if you might like it!"

I think it was a joke.

I will bet a dollar that they either will not actually make the 2dr model at all or the 2dr will not be sold in the USA.

OMG! I still can't believe Mick Jagger is my chauffeur!

Yeah, I can't decide which of the two it's supposed to be.

i took it to be a joke

Read through some of the other stuff at toonhole, and I guess it's supposed to be a joke... I just am having trouble with putting myself in the headspace of the person who thinks it's funny and topical.

It's easy, you like someone, and at some point you decide to make your move. If they like it, good. If they tell you to stop, back the fiddlesticks off, no means no, don't insist, no, there's no maybe.

Also, don't project modern day real life morality into an ancient fairy tale. But ok, yeah, don't rape unconscious people.

Another question is, why did that guy didn't tell anybody about her and left her to die?

See, now I'm doing it. Damn you internet. It's a fairy tale. Magic put her to sleep, magic sent him to kiss her and wake her up, magic made them fall in love with each other, get married, and live happily ever after. The end.

i guess i figured how dumb the fairy tale is, especially if you take away the kiss

What's the point of being a prince, future king, if you can't sleep wherever you please?

When you think about a lot of the old fairy tales they're really socially horrible. They involve things which any person with a conscience would think were inappropriate.

So the joke is that he didn't kiss her when she was asleep and that she died.

It was not a judgement that he should therefore have kissed her.

these are so much fun! lots more here and here
