Absolutely insane rizz from Rick and Morty’s conversation with a 16 year old fan pic.twitter.com/jy7pXiVdpI— Normal Marty 🇺🇸 (@MartyAmericaUSA) January 15, 2023
Something that doesn't get mentioned in the conversation about anime pedos is the fact that in Japan a lot of video content that was essentially softcore CP was legal until 2012, meaning that it developed an entire industry and audience that didn't just go away after the ban. So they all spread out into adjacent industries and you see this huge uptick in CP-baiting anime, "junior idols" etc in the last decade and the only way to kill it off is big government censorship frankly because the free market failed.
Yeah, I gotta mentally double every number I hear. Japan has a weird marxist thing so there is a commonly accepted materialist explanation though. Which is wild to me. It is a good counterpoint though, who else woulds have time to go on adventures except kids on summer break?
I think the capitalist exploitation is so severe in Japan that people would rather age regress that accept a work life. The fetishization of high school is excessive and very unhealthy. I remember reading a manga about high school kids, them being on a school trip and gossiping before bed. One character says, "These are the best times of our lives!" If that's true, what does that say about Japanese culture at large? Why are you expected to peak in high school?
If I am correct in my analysis they never really liberalized before modernity. So there are still lots of old ideas rolling around in the culture along with development of modernity. If my math is right just recently is when the last of the culture makers who had any memory of pre-modrrn living would have bene replaced. Cause when you think about their post war adjustment there were still plenty of places that were fully pre-modern. so in a better world that would be fascinating to examine.
:japan-cool: has apparently never had this conversation and it shows. I like anime but the amount of :epsteingelion: is extremely disturbing.
