    So I'm browsing the R18 sections of Syotetu (Moonlight side) and I've been noticing this term, ご都合主義, pop up a quite a few times in the tags. Most of the tags are pretty understandable, but this one just seems out of place. It also sometimes shows up in the story text.

    Here's a sentence snippet (since the sentence is really long):
    これまたご都合主義な事に媚薬入りっぽい粘液を出され

    The sentence is about tentacles.

    (P.S. This is Japanese, of course.)

    R18 stuff is oddly easier to read. Or maybe I just know more dirty vocab. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You should really only use the summon as a last resort. (The thread's only been around for 30ish minutes.)
    I also feel bad tagging translators for pervy stuff.

    What baffles me the most is why it would get used as a content tag.

    I'm starting to think, in the case of tags, it means something along the longs of "convenient for plot" or maybe even with a connotation like how PWP (porn without plot) is used.

    Anyways, for the translation of the text, I decided to go with "rather conveniently".

    R-18 for male is nocturne. If you didn't make a mistake on the "Moonlight" then I don't know that phrase or maybe I overlooked it.

    Hmmmmmm....... "Double Standard"= ご都合主義

    これまたご都合主義な事に媚薬入りっぽい粘液を出され=This again is double standard of aphrodisac entering and viscous liquid gushing out...... (Something like that I think)
    I'm not good at pervy stuffies..

    WTH, just woke up and I see myself summoned...... XD

    Somewhat I TL it into:
    The mucus contain the aphrosidiac entering in during this situation.

    Not sure either though XP
