and theres clearly work for a visual anthropologist in the pedo-erotica publishing environment in japan, this dude just did it wrong imo
Of course that's true, but you don't study stuff like this by actually engaging in the activity to search for a "deeper understanding", which is his argument in the study. That's nonsense
im not sure where the line between engaging critically and analytically with media ends and inappropriateness begins---i know its before "i locked myself in my apartment and swore off sex" tho :yikes:
an inquiry into the ethics is def warranted but not from the postures presented in the article
You can read the study for yourself, I linked it in another comment here, obvious content warning for him excusing himself for this stuff.
It sounds like someone that got too wrapped up into what he was researching he became it. He even says that the only way to research further was to experience it himself.
Yeah, how does this get published? How does his supervisor think that him participating in what he's researching is okay? Even in regular research, this is a large red flag. Can't there be tonnes of bias?
And yeah guy should have been sent to therapy and pulled from researching this subject as soon as he suggested it.
That's almost what he said verbatim. Instead crackling like a maniac he made a joke about it
CW shota stuff
Audre Lorde (1997: 282) has written: ‘The erotic cannot be felt secondhand.’ Indeed. And so I realized that my body was equipped with a research tool of its own that could give me, quite literally, a first-hand understanding of shota

Guy really needs professional help
i think we're basically agreed the real question is how it got published? without him getting sent to like mandatory therapy lol

i feel like a certain proportion of researchers are probably into the whole "the only way to continue research is on myself!!!" cackling like maniac
dudes will literally turn into a mad scientist before going to therapy

before he goes to therapy we are shoving him into a fucking locker
