Or a woman for that matter. This is a 30 year old man acting like he's 14.
I enjoy watching Japanese cartoons once in a while but holy shit just delete the entire industry if this dweeb is the target audience.
What makes it worse, or funnier if you ask me, is that every year Japanese people try to actually increase the age of consent. they're really aren’t proud of how infamous their country is for producing child porn.
This has to be what reeducation camps are made for, right? Do you think he could be taught that his porn addiction isn't a personality trait, or that forcing him to talk to other humans his age would eventually transform him into a productive member of society?
"30 year old openly attracted to anime children" is one of the most disgusting types of people I can imagine, I wonder if there's any hope for them
part of the issue is, there's no real therapy for peadophilia, every therapist is on their own, basically, and in a lot of jurisdictions peadophilia is one of those things that is not protected by patient-doctor confidentiality, so the only system equipped to handle you is the criminal justice system which is not ideal if we well and truly want to help people and not just butcher them. a factor that contributes to people not asking out for help in the first place
the other issue is, there's some undigested collective anguish when it comes to youth. youthful qualities are obsessed over, even idolised, press is dedicated to "what the young people are doing" (even if it's low quality garbage), if you're a woman you're continually bombarded with shit about how to keep your natural youth against any kind of sane limits, most ads features youthful sexy people, and so on, but conversely if someone were to go "they're youthful therefore i'm jerking off thinking of them" we're suddenly shocked and appalled and wonder where this behaviour is coming from. virtually every porn website has a huge and very popular category that's just "barely legal", "just turned 18", etc. that's just socially acceptable peadophilia and is emblematic of a larger societal problem we have with youthfulness. peadophiles don't come down from UFOs, they're products of society and as such, without some kind of systemic solution, there won't be any end to this
Thanks for the insight! "Productive member of society" was definitely a poor choice of words, he very possibly could be employed but is just really creepy. Idk, I just hope that in a more just society we won't have as many people with issues like that
:wojak-nooo: YOU HAVE TO BE OFFENDED BY MY ANIMU WIFI SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S 8 BUT SHE'S REALLY 80,000 OF COURSE YOUR MAD BUT SHE'S NOT REAAAALLLLL I'M NOT SICK YOU'RE SICK:wojak-nooo:
I don't know what's going on here but I'm going to assume it's creepy and gross.
I watch a lot of Japanese videos on youtube and niconico and they talk like normal people, just in Japanese. Cartoons are cartoons and not indicative of reality.
No dude Japan is where all the submissive waifus are!!! I'm taking a course on Japanese on Rosetta Stone as we speak, can't wait to move there. I'll instantly fit in with my knowledge of anime and REAL Imperial Japan history. :le-pol-face:
Oh these types of dudes absolutely exist and I'd imagine they become instantly disillusioned the moment they get there.
I went to a conference in japan, and one of the guys on my team was a weeb. He got real upset when we used the trains to get from the hotel to the centre instead of driving there. Can't combine car-centrism with useful public transportation.
What they hell did they expect? People living in the cities in Japan mostly use the train right?
Guy literally never went anywhere without his car, and expected it to be the same there. I explained to him the route and stops we'd be taking by train, but he didn't like the idea of that. Rented a car the entire time, and was late every single time. The worst was when he tried to drive to ishikawa while we took the train (3hr by train, 6 and a half by car). Absoluely baffling behaviour.
Americans slavish devotion to the car in full display.
I had two highballs and some okonomiyaki by the time he got to our hotel in ishikawa. It was very funny to hear this guy comparing our day to day to what his cartoons look like.
So, i was part of a group sponsored by komatsu to come to japan. We were there to go to an expo that was full of mining farming, oil field, etc. equipment. I didn't know this guy at all, but he was part of the group i was in. I got seated next to him on the flight from bc to tokyo. He asked me if i was interested in japan, its culture, whatever. I said i liked watching movies from there, like kurosawa and Naruse. He asked if i liked anime, which i said not really, but i liked yamato, akira, stuff like that. He then listed off nearly a dozen series that he'd been watching to get ready for the trip. I ordered two beers. He then spent the rest of the flight reading this english to japanese manga book on his tablet. When i woke up, i found out he had designated himself to be the translator for our group. The pain started immediately as we got off, as he stiffly thanked the staff as we got off the plane.
Not only that, but it was an air canada flight. I don't think the staff spoke japanese.
From what I've heard from people I know there is that the culture is so much stricter than you could possibly imagine. If you're a punk in Japan (like, the dirty kind) you are just straight up banned from working, renting a place, or doing pretty much anything. Like, they are essentially banned from the rest of society along with refugees and general undesirables. If Hitler had modest success in WW2 and didn't have super unrealistic goals then it's how I picture Germany being now
Quite a few were from refugee families going back to the Korean War and to this day their children and grandchildren for ever onward can never be citizens and are at a lower caste than even illegal immigrants, they're literally called Slave Class people. Pretty much any venue that will do punk shows are run by the Yakuza, which led to a side effect of most Japanese punk bands being being really really tight, cause you had to actually bring money in or you'd be in trouble with very dangerous people. Of you spike your hair and stud a jacket and really like Discharge and Antisect in that country you will be subjected to third world conditions
I mean, a lot do join as well. If you just aren't allowed to get a over the table job those can be the breaks. There is a more allowed pogo and streetpunk kind of thing but dirty crusty punks are just not allowed, especially because they're explicitly political and there are mu h greater restrictions on criticizing the government there as well

If punk isn't a threat, what's the point?
beyond not understanding this
what the fuck was this supposed to communicate and to whom
wait wait wait i got it
so theyre saying twitter users have a problem with anime 'fictional beings'
and the bottom panel is a celebration? of anime porn stuff
fwiw i believe its for anime porn people ; "they just dont get it"
The emphasis on "fictional beings" comes from the most tired arguments from anime pedos, that their cartoons depicting sex with children aren't technically child porn because they only depict fictional children.
Then it just becomes more childish from there, where they react to people's reasonable disgust like, "Oh what's the matter are you afraid of this cartoon?"
I'M GONNA BARRICADE MYSELF INTO MY BEDROOM AND JERK OFF FOR 10 HOURS, ARE YOU SCARED YET
Something about the market appealing to the majority of its revenue regardless of morality
When I was stationed in Japan the funniest thing to me was watching weeaboo sailors arrive. Minus it being a cartoon character on advertisements and things like a stack of manga in the corner of a ramen-ya for kids, Japan is not an anime paradise. They mostly think of otaku types like we do bronies. I knew of one store dedicated to manga and one thrift store where a cordoned off section had hentai and body pillows. Watching a neckbeard sailor go in there, come out with sex toys and cartoon porn, and waddle past actual Japanese people in his orientalist shirt was :chefs-kiss: . Over the course of like three days you could watch the joy melt from their heart as they came to understand that Japan is actually a pretty hostile place to live and they're rightfully hated there. They'd drink in their barracks as the ultra-nationalist parties drove trucks by screaming at them to go home. Watchin' cartoon porn.
Japan is not an anime paradise.
kind of true but it depends on what the most weebs think of paradise. For example I'd America is a fast food "paradise", but you can't be too literal and think everyone is eating french fries and burgers for every meal every day more like how much easier and sometimes cheaper it is to find so many different options. 10 different ways to have a heart attack is still 10 different ways too many...
Back in the day before everything was available online there was quite a difficult process to buy any sort of anime merchandise. Even these days shipping and taxes make it prohibitive to import original stuff.
In that sense living in Japan or just going regularly does provide an unique opportunity to buy this shit. That to me is what I always assumed to be a reasonable interpretation of "anime paradise".
The problem is some of these delusional weebs just never actualy see a picture of real Japan or Japanese people so they think you can find Akihabara anywhere else in Japan instead of one very specific location. If you are so delusional to think Akihabara represents an entire country then you deserve to be dunked on.
When it comes to Japan's attitude towards otaku I think it is important to not swing to far the other way. Western weebs don't understand the broader definition of otaku in Japan so they think you can be open about or expect the same standards we have in the west, but at the same time I shouldn't take Japan's
neoliberal hellhole of a countrytake on people's tastes for entertainment and passion/hobbies(the actualy definition of otaku is just a dedicated hobbyist) when everyone can't even have a family or fuck each other because everyone is working 16h a day...
Huh, never thought I would get a look into the niche world of pedophile memes made by pedophiles, but my man is posting through it.
Also I scrolled his tweets and you will all be shocked to learn that the smug anime pedophile is a rabid anticommunist
