You can talk about anything as far as I'm concerned, but it's up to the mods and the other members of the community to decide whether that sort of loose leash is appropriate for Hentai Discussion or not.
Short answer: yes, talk away, but try to keep it on hentai more often than not. ;D

Heh.
Remember this?
I have a love/hate relationship with Linda.
Love:
- the way he draws women
- the common theme of women who either (a) initially want it but claim they don't or (b) initially don't want it -- but who either way, A or B, always end up wanting it in the end
Hate:
- the way he draws men. They're so serpentine! Every time I see Linda's dudes, it kills my boner. They're always CREEPY EVIL-looking. Even the ones who are supposed to be nice!
- the fact that Linda (the man, or team, or whatever the hell Linda is) is such a big douchebag towards his non-Japanese fans
- the fact that he's ruining his career through his own success, i.e. because everybody loves him, and because he agrees to publish in everyone's magazines, but because that's taxing on him, he only submits 4-page stories to most magazines, and since nobody (read:
me :P) enjoys 4-page stories, it means nobody is going to purchase his tankoubons. Which means they'll pirate them. Which means he cries foul that people are pirating his work. Which means he relies more heavily on his contracts with the magazine companies to recoop financial losses, and relies less heavily on the fans and their input to him. Vicious cycle that benefits nobody except for the companies -- and even they will only benefit in the short run, because the longer Linda keeps this bullshit up, the sooner he'll find his fanbase withering away
Some of my favorite stories ever are Linda stories. These include:
- NaruRabu 4, which I loved so much I purchased. Hentai aside, it is arguably the
best Naruto/Hinata omake I have
ever seen. Factor in the sex. Factor in that Linda draws Hinata
s-m-o-k-i-n-g hot. Factor in all that jazz and it's just YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH all the way to the back cover.
- this one story of his were several college students (boys and girls both) go camping in the woods, and one of them collects a bunch of mushrooms, and despite a few students' protestations, the rest of the group cooks them over the camp fire and eats 'em. And a sexual orgy ensues. Really hot one, not so much because of the mushrooms initially but because of seeing the main girl become seduced by the others, and in turn she seduces the guy who loves her by appealing to their mutual desire that he be the one to take her virginity. Nice.
- he did a DOA one once that I seem to recall liking
- the first story in W-Hip, while short (I HATE SHORT STORIES!), is drawn really hot. It's the one of the horny-as-fuck housewife in the green sweater.
