Posted March 12, 2008 alot of fantasy reflects real world desire. the loli mangas point to an alarming trend for the sexualisation of children. that said, it is just manga, can it really be damaging to society? id argue that it may move someone along the path, but lets face it, its only going too appeal to people who are already curious about it. Do you not think though that these things suggest that such activities are socially acceptable, when they patently are not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2008 Incorrect, I'm afraid. In an alphabet each symbol represents a phoneme, whereas in a syllabary each symbol represents a collection of phonemes. For instance, in English the word cow is transcribed under IPA as [kʰaʊ], whereas the Japanese word for cow, ushi/牛/うし is transcribed under IPA as [uʃi], so each kana does not correspond to each word. So while scripts such as Hangul are indeed alphabets, the kana scripts are not. [/pedantry] The moral of the story is, don't trust my Japanese lecturers! They speak in lies! Back on topic, I find it absurd that a country the censors porn doesn't have a problem with this sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 12, 2008 I find it a little...alarming...that Japan does not already have laws in place banning possession of child pornography... It's quite the opposite, especially in manga. Battle Royale and Akira spring to mind. Both featured naked minors, in sexual situations. Although it's hand drawn, it's still a 14/15 year old girl getting shagged/raped/whatever, by grown men. It plays on the same emotions as child pornography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 12, 2008 ...yay for ghibli!! there's not really a lot for me to say about the subject~ i reeeeeally don't wanna think about it for many many reasons, the most prominent reason being i have to LIVE in this country soon @___@ i've heard all the rumors about this kind of stuff and what apparently happens a lot on public transport (people tell me it's quite common for guys to touch girls up ~ i wonder how common it is for them to get the absolute shit beaten out of them - 'cause thats what anyone'd get if they tried that with me ) but yeah - not much to say O____o booo to the pedophiles!

Posted March 12, 2008 I have to say, for all it's success Japan has an oddly seedy seam running through things. Mangas and anime's about girl robots/demons/sexy, sexy aliens being utterly subservient to angst ridden adolescent male students, and so forth. It's all very well when you're fourteen, but by the time you're twenty-two and you're performing public acts of "air sex"... Natural selection is a bitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 12, 2008 Why look at child porn when you can see better things in 'adult' ones. I really don't get how they can possibly like it and it's odd enough it's legal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2008 Apparently its just the innocense factor. I mean, whats more innocent than a girl who doesn't know what sex is? Generally, all the most obsessed over anime characters, are this stereotype. Girls who are like 16+ who aren't aware of what sex is or male intentions and look like 12 year olds. I can't say i understand it, i like women, i like women who look like women and not young girls. Curves are king. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2008 Why look at child porn when you can see better things in 'adult' ones. I really don't get how they can possibly like it and it's odd enough it's legal... The way I see it is, the people who do like it cannot help it. Its something that they are born with/triggers in their brain/etc etc fact of the matter is, they cannot help that they like it. Its illegal though, and morally wrong which they should also know, so they know they cannot act upon those urges, and the people who do are sick and wrong.

I've heard that game is actually pretty bad Yeah it is, to be honest it's mostly just a point and guess what the fuck you have to click adventure, navigating around some school and shit Lolita (1955) is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov. Yeah except Loli isn't short for just lolita, it's short for lolicon - which itself is a contraction of lolita complex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't get how they can possibly like it and it's odd enough it's legal... considering paedophilia is a pretty fucked up mental disorder, I don't think there is any rational thing to get, per se.
