Yep, here: https://sites.google.com/site/ralphm...neko-explained

It looks longer than I remember it being. Maybe it's still being updated?

It's like he hasn't even read his own story.
Aha, I was able to find the interview I was looking for! It might be the same one AuraTwilight mocks, possibly. Although I can't find the bit about pride.

It's a weird interview. It doesn't seem to fit in with the series as a whole...So if it's the truth, I'll be studiously ignoring it and pulling the "Umineko is whatever it's interpreted as!" card.

Ryuu: A man lives for the purpose of leaving behind descendants, so it’s a problem if the woman doesn’t have a body. But I think that from a woman's perspective, the body is just an appendage for the soul, so if their souls are bound together, then even in the worst case where their bodies are torn apart, they can still be together, so it’s alright. I might be putting women on a pedestal excessively, but at least in that world’s values, that’s how it is.
ORLY, Ryukishi? ...Yeah, if he's thinking this way, then maybe he really does think Dlanor or any other woman can inherently understand Umineko better on those grounds.
