I don't know if I'm criminally complacent, overly cynical, or just negligent, but I don't get worked up over sexualizing children in fiction.
My reasoning, if you can call it that, is that everything of that nature is better out in the open where it can be scrutinized and monitored and dealt with appropriately, rather than driven underground where it's hard to catch when it gets to the dangerous levels
...and that it's better for people of.... difficult inclinations.... to have the safe outlet of fiction, rather than risk such feelings getting strengthened by repression and potentially irrupt into actionably serious danger of reality.

I've heard the counterargument that it runs the risks of 'normalizing' it and increasing likelihood of RL criminal behavior, but having lived in a region where the taboo topic of abuse and incest led to a much higher incidence of those problems -and higher suicide levels, obviously correlated- I find that I just don't buy those counterarguments...


Maybe I'm wrong, who knows. But there it is.

Also, 16 just doesn't seem that child-like to me? I mean, you're post puberty at that point, and while the mentality hasn't finished growing, the physical impulses are already present, so trying to pretend they don't even exist is just hypocritical... if it's a huge age disparity that's one thing, but for peers, it's hard for me to see the problem....




Edit: I lived for over a decade without a car in a town with minimal or no public transportation -it's quite doable. You just need a bike with a basket, and to set aside a budget for the occasional taxi (or uber or lyft, these days).
Honestly my budget for that was less than the costs of owning a car, so it's a good deal. There are definitely options!
I did occasionally resort to hiking down to the sheriff's office and bribing them with muffins to drive me somewhere (especially if I was trying to transport something heavy).
But that's only because I'm bad with socializing so I didn't really have a good rapport with neighbors or nearby friends to ask. And the sheriff's department is all full of people whose whole schtick is (supposedly) to help and aid their local populace, so they usually felt obligated to either take me themselves or call one of THEIR contacts to take me. Even when they couldn't, because of being busy with something else, they always gave me a lift back home on their way to wherever they were needed.

Then I ended up taking care of all the family Elders and needed a car to transport them to various medical facilities frequently.
But until then, it worked great!

I get carsick if I'm in the back...
And I get panicy when they drive fast, mess with phones while driving, and turn while going fast... feels like the car is on 2 wheels when they turn super fast and the car is gonna flipp... QnQ

I rely on family friends and taxis as my place doesn't have a bus system near me. there is one that runs through downtown niles where the mall and big businesses are, but none come near my place. ono


The thought of getting on a public bus now... x-x i can feel my chest tighten at the thought.

I have memories of those buses... mainly of me wanting to push the button for our stop o3o and.... the people... x-x the crowd of people.......



Akili: xD I don't really see cute outfits as sexualizing children (or bathing suits) but so many people come in and see the characters (who are 15-17 years old which are still kids in america's eyes) in bathing suits and cute outfits and scream sexualizing. I get tired of it and complain (thus my posts about it often)

So this outfit I just saw on this 16 year old.. if I ever see someone scream 'sexualizing kids" over a beach episode, ima post this pic and be like... beach eps aren't sexual.. THIS IS! XD

there isn't actual sex in the series, but the one ninja lady does seduce the MC and it's heavily hinted that they do things. Other than super sexy clothes, and every female having overly large, back breaking breasts, and the innuendo and sexual item here and there, there's really nothing sexual in this series.


._. how are these characters able to stand straight with those weights hanging off thier chests... my back, neck and shoulders are always killing me QnQ and mine arnt THAT big!


I also ignore certain stuff in the fantasy that people bitch about.

Actually since you take that stance, I suggest Death Mage that Doesn't Want a 4th. It starts off darkish but it lightens up and while the MC originally wanted revenge, he ends up with a 4th life that he enjoys and is like "I like this life so.. as long as those people leave me be here, I'll leave them be. But if they come after me, I'll kill them"

... yeah, I'd find that outfit embarrassing, too!!

Ha ha ha ha, oh, if we're talking Americans....
ha ha ha ha, I shouldn't laugh.
But honestly.
That country puts up so many barriers trying to keep any hint of sexual content from their kids, even healthy stuff, but they blithely show extreme violence and never think twice about it.
I just...
I have to laugh!
It's so ridiculous.

Only sexual content in their animated stuff!!!!

Shows aimed at kids and teens and young adults depict TEENS HAVING SEX QUITE OFTEN!


As an American... I'm sick of their hypocrisy! >:o


And I too think if certain things are drawn/animated and given to perverts it may help cut down on the real stuff. Hell.. if we're lucky they could become obsessed with the 2Ds and forget that the 3D's exist. o3o

People are marrying Vocaloids and their Anime Waifus! .. I'm serious. oAo
If we can get actual perverts into anime characters THAT much... REAL kids can be saved!

Ideal outcome right there...

But.... how serious are you exactly? Do you mean literally? How can there be a marriage with a fictional character? Is it just a non-legal marriage ceremony or something?

I'm not sure how this virtual/anime marriage is... It's a thing in Japan o-O


There was this one kid who killed himself because his "Waifu" died. o3o,


sooo... some of these people be pretty serious.


When it comes to Waifu's and Husbando's (actually.. I've yet to hear of a female marrying their husbando... its all males doing this o-o) people go nuts.

I got virtually bullied on GameFAQs because I didn't like someone's .Hack//G.U. Waifu and I called her an attention seeking spoiled brat. >->

As someone who was sexually abused as a baby by their father and sexually harassed by my aunts ex boyfriend.. someone trying to kill themselves because they don't get to have expensive clothes... pisses me off =/

Um, that does seem like a really disproportionate response, yeah.

When it comes to Japan and it's weird ness... the only thing people can say is: "It's Japan"

OwO, It's ... Japan!
Land of boob pudding, penis lolipops, and a crap ton of vending machines!

and that youtube vid.. the reporter... Otaku means Fanatic. =/
Otaku have been trying to regain their title after an anime fanatic murdered people. Because of that asshat, people see Otaku in a bad light. But we've been trying to get our title back. >:x

... well, I suppose that's one way to stop marriage interviews?

I feel like you'd just be trading one annoyance for another though.
Graduate from having to justify your single status to having to justify your sanity.
Overbearing relatives are annoying; there's just no winning with them.

But hey, if he was happy, good for him! Sad that the tech support is going, but considering how short tech generations are, I'm cynically unsurprised.

Hopefully he can communicate with Hatsune again. x'D Sounds like the marriage is falling apart.

At least its not seen as a legal marriage? owo,


I wonder what the divorce would be like oAo how much money would Miku get out of him... Alimony?
