furiously masturbating to anime titties
The article is from a few years ago but I just heard about this from a friend and holy poo poo, what the hell. Apparently this is still going on; the pair recently released a statement saying they can't wait to get married in a year once the girl turns 18 (the creep will be 32). They first met when the girl was 8.

The girl is based in Canada, so why has the guy not been arrested and jailed yet for statutory rape? How useless are the Mounties?

Akama Miki & Zhang Muyi: 24-Year-Old Chinese Singer Reportedly Dating 12-Year-Old Child Model

Zhang Muyi, a 24-year-old pop star from China, made shockwaves recently when he publicly declared his love for Akama Miki, a 12-year-old Canadian-based child model.

The pair, who have been rumored to be dating for some time, seem to be something like legit after Muyi left a romantic message for Miki on her Sina Weibo, a social networking site, right after her 12th birthday:

“Wait until I’m old enough to marry you, and then I’m going to say ‘I do,’” Miki wrote on Muyi’s Weibo page, where she has 500,000 followers, just after her 12th birthday. “I simply can’t wait for these next four birthdays of yours to pass, I’m counting down each one,” he wrote back.

Muyi and Miki have been acquainted for some time, as Muyi became Miki’s music coach when she was 8. They’ve recorded duets together and flood their social networking profiles with pictures of the two of them. A year after hiring Muyi, Miki won the 2009 National New Silk Road Modeling Competition’s Children Pageant.

The pair trended on Twitter as news of their apparent romance spread as more and more people read their sappy public messages, and Muyi responded to the rumors on his Weibo: “There’s nothing we can do about this, nor do we feel the need to prove anything to these people. All we can do is continue to persevere with our love, our life, and being together.”

So, are the pop star and model engaged in a publicity stunt (as one paper suggests?) Or is this a real relationship? No one seems to be sure.

If they haven't had sex I guess he isn't doing anything technically illegal but that is still some supremely hosed up poo poo and you'd think it'd be a career ender but I bet it won't be. If it really is a publicity stunt then it's still pretty :stare:

I'm not gonna say I blame anime for normalizing this stuff but I don't really have any other way to close out this sentence either.

There are armchair theories that "Beauty and the Beast" stories as we know them originated as subtextual instruction manuals for little girls being forced to marry mentally ill nobles three decades their senior.

True. I imagine it was easier to turn a blind eye to girls interested in discussing "fairy tales" with their caretakers than outright acknowledging that wedding a barely-pubescent child to a middle-aged man required serious psychic/social preparation.

I googled his name and found a pretty awkward music video

http://shanghaiist.com/2012/09/26/watch_uncomfortable_music_video_by.php

wherein they sing a duet about loving a boy. There isn't a back and forth where they sing about one another, they just both sing the same lyrics about loving a boy

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you

I'm hoping it's just a megacreepy publicity stunt to maybe kickstart a music career for her? Is the video a hint that he's gay and the only woman he'd agree to fake date was one he couldn't legally be asked to kiss?

We can only pray that this is fame-whoring instead of actual child marriage.
