The problem with 4chan is that they do not see the problem. It has nothing to do with him being right-wing either. 4chan has no qualms about pederasty

Are Asian cultures like this in general? Kpop for example likes very young or young looking, infantile girls. It's pretty prominent and have no idea how or why.

quote:

The common explanation for Japan's tolerance of child porn is that the country is run by a clique of old men with little sensitivity toward women and children. But it's not just old men who are involved. Most of our customers are in their 30s, says Seiji Wasaki, 27, a clerk in a porn shop in Tokyo's Shinjuku entertainment district. Parliament member Edano, at 34 one of Japan's youngest politicians, views it as a matter of choice. You can't neglect the fact that some high school girls quite willingly do this, he says. If the girl and the man agree to exchange money for sex, and if it's really her will, then it is completely the act of individuals and shouldn't be regulated. The problem, Edano says, is that the girls haven't been properly educated to make an informed decision. A man who frequents teen prostitutes (and who prefers not to be identified) claims that two years ago, the going rate for sex with a 16-year-old girl was $250. Today, men want younger partners. A tryst with a 12-year-old costs more than $400.

There's another theory for the obsession with pedophilia: that Japanese men feel threatened by adult women. Many men are incapable of relating to adult women on an equal stance, says Yukihiro Murase, a professor of human sexuality at Tokyo's Hitotsubashi University. Whatever the explanation, it won't be easy getting a tough law against child porn through the male-dominated parliament. In fact, a similar effort failed last year. But the exposure of Japan's child porn on the Internet may serve a useful purpose for cracking down on this shameful trade, for it has brought the smut out of the insular world of Japan for all the world to see. We feel embarrassed, says parliament member Moriyama. So now we want to hurry up and do something.

I kind of feel like it's too complex to comment on much from the outside, other than just wondering if it isn't a case of metastasized capitalism.

Maybe pederasty matters only as far as it can be used by partisans against political opponents

Is that any worse than all the American TV shows about sexy high schoolers? Stuff like Teen Wolf or Glee

i can only hope we can still agree on enough to condemn loving children across the partisan divide

imo part of the problem is that Japanese society is so work-oriented that for many people the best times of their lives was when they were in high school, which leads them to fetishize youth. You can see this kind of stuff all over America where high school football is the most important public ritual, but in Japan it's cranked up to 11 because there's very little adult leisure time. Grown men can't relate to women in that quote because it's too difficult for them to socialize outside of the workplace, and workplaces ban fraternization to begin with. Their sexualities are informed almost purely by juvenile experiences. Even non-pornographic anime is broadly centered around high school narratives, because for many Japanese people that was the last time they had social lives.

But I guess that pretty much boils down to metastasized capitalism.

I've heard this a lot about people from Soviet bloc nations, and I have to wonder if it is less about "look at all this food!" and more about "Why are there 5 different brands of chocolate popsicles? How do you choose? Is one better than the rest?"
