Sexploration: Sexy anime goes mainstream - Sexploration - MSNBC.com

That person obviously doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, and all those so called "facts" are just shit that came out of his arse. Anyone who believes the shit this guys saying, is just as retarded as he is.

Semmed a fair enough and balanced article to me. Why are you so wound up, that you call people retards, over a cartoon?:unsure:

Semmed a fair enough and balanced article to me.

If you'd have researched anime and manga, even actually tried it to an extent, you'd know that this article is full of nothing but laughable bullshit.

Why are you so wound up, that you call people retards, over a cartoon?

I'm not too fussed about it, really. I'm just using this article as an example of how ignorant people can be towards things from cultures they've never really tried, themselves.

That's pretty much what I think of anime, personally, but each to their own.

Best not to judge things until you've tried it and gotten a good understanding of it, I always say.

I agree, I've seen it and think it's a big pile of wank.

If all you watched was say for example Pokemon, or Dragon Ball Z, Then you don't come close to having a good understanding of anime.

I haven't got a good understanding of the enjoyment of incest but it dosen't mean I'm going to explore it thoroughly! it is ok not to like Japanese cartoons you know.

 

[Zorak]

It wasn't an attack on anime as far as I could see. Just a statement into how popular anime has become in western culture.

Which is true, because here you are defending it like a crazy haired misanthropic anime hero

Me saying "Best not to judge things until you've tried it and gotten a good understanding of it." was towards forms of entertainment. Not towards forms of sexual intercourse.

it is ok not to like Japanese cartoons you know.

Yes, It definitely is okay not to like anime. I agree with you. I was never fussed about people not being into it. I'm more fussed that people make claims about it that aren't close to being true, and those same people seem to take those claims as fact. it's all porn, or it's just a kids thing, are good examples of false claims. Fans and especially the Japanese themselves, do get offended by such claims.

Never said it was an attack. It does, however, give out a lot of false information about anime, such as it being mostly sexual.

I never saw that, it just pointed out the blatent sexuality of some of it and how it borders on paedophillia which is true. In your defence, it actually pointed out that fans of this are against paedophilia so I would still say it was pretty balanced.

For example, on a Lolicon chat board recently, someone posted a Japanese DVD cover showing real schoolgirls, around 8 years old, dressed in uniforms, showing their panties, smiling, giggling. The community was outraged and urged harsh punishment for the makers of the DVD, arguing that there is a vast and important difference between “2-D” and “3-D.”

Erm...yes?

To be honest, the hardcorestuff is around too much, my mum waswalking through a shopping mall and they had the hardcore stuff up in exhibition, really shouldn't have beenallowed in a public place like that!:thumbdown

The article was trying to generally be about anime. It was apparently mainly talking about hentai.

 

[Peter Parka]

whatever you think dude. To be honest, i couldn't care too much about kiddie cartoons.

 

[Mase]

You definitely aren't the kind of person who can give a good argument about this, anyway.

 

[Peter Parka]

You'r right because I dont think its important at all and cant see what you're getting your knickers in a twist about, it's just a cartoon, dude!

Yes, it isn't that important. I know.

If it were, I would've not posted it on a forum with an opinion about it, and instead would've tried getting this towards the media, and do something stupid like the fags who make controversies (Yes, this can qualify as a controversy, because anime is all Japanese made) seem worse than what they already are.

Just kidding. But I would've made a much larger and detailed argument about it, if it were important.


PS - Another reason why you aren't the kind of person who can argue about it, is because, you even admittedly don't have an understanding of anime.

 

[Peter Parka]

You're right, it makes no sense to me whatsoever!
