ninjewtsu posted:Much like when there are other problems in a show (be they with the visual direction, voice acting/sound design, or writing) just because we can not affect change does not mean we can't complain or potentially discuss a problem here, in the something awful subforum dedicated to talking about anime. i wasnt commenting on your post i was commenting on marumaru saying they read articles about how fanservice in seinen manga is because of japanese culture i dont care if someone's bothered by it i'm not the fanservice defense force you can feel how you do

I love it when White Americans tell Japan that they need to fix their culture, while the U.S. is deeply rooted in systematic racism. Thinking back to that one lovely webcomic artist with the bear avatar saying that the U.S. needs to send Japan to sensitivity training while telling people who live outside the U.S. who criticizes it to STFU Willo567 fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Is the sexualization of high schoolers a cornerstone of japanese culture? I know there's some significant differences in how they treat high school but I dunno if this is normalized in broader japanese culture so much as it's normalized in just, like, anime.

Willo567 posted:I love it when White Americans tell Japan that they need to fix their culture, while the U.S. is deeply rooted in systematic racism. Real quick: This is one of the classic logical fallacies. It's, as mentioned, called Whataboutism and the observations made by using it are almost exclusively worthless. Believe it or not, two things can be bad at the same time.

Coaaab posted:the fully nude high schooler that looks younger than that? That was the chapter that nearly made me drop the manga initially. If I hadn't had more chapters to read I don't know that I would have given it another chance (though in the end I am glad I did).

chumbler posted:Wolf's crush on Kuroitsu is cute as well. Also I noticed that Marin spent most of the time shown during their house data looking at Gojo. It was a good touch. I liked how Wolf broke free of the illusion because "Hey! Miss Koroitsu wouldn't misgender me!"

ninjewtsu posted:Is the sexualization of high schoolers a cornerstone of japanese culture? I know there's some significant differences in how they treat high school but I dunno if this is normalized in broader japanese culture so much as it's normalized in just, like, anime. It's not exactly a cornerstone but it does happen outside of anime, more in 'fandom' spaces like idol culture. Putting aside the western issue with sexualization of minors in the west (Consider the whole 'barely legal' porn thing, as if 18 was totally okay while 17 wasn't), child porn being illegal in Japan is relatively recent, probably within the lifespan of every single person here, having happened in 1999. And that was only the production/distrubition of it! Possession wasn't illegal until 2014. I had to check wikipedia to confirm the year, so it might be off a bit. That doesn't mean the average Japanese person thinks it's okay or anything; I can't even begin to guess what the acceptance rate of that would be compared to other countries. There's probably a middle ground between being a total prude and being totally okay with the current status quo where highly detailed scenes of highschoolers in swimsuits don't even register to the average weeb, though I don't have the answer for what that is. Also worth remembering that anime is pretty mainstream these days. Acerbatus fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Feb 22, 2022 |

go into any convenience store in japan and the magazine rack is full of bikini clad high schooler cover girls, nobody's giving an anime character a second thought.

Coaaab posted:I think my mind at this point has distinguished underwear from swimwear, even when removed from the context of the beach/pool. And I think the show never explicitly mentions that Gojo/Marin are 15 (though I think the manga does) The show does explicitly say that they're first year high schoolers, so they would, at oldest, be 16, which isn't really improving things at all.

I love the idea that someone would be okay with whatever if the ages, which haven’t been mentioned and don’t exist, were two or three numbers higher.

Supremezero posted:The show does explicitly say that they're first year high schoolers, so they would, at oldest, be 16, which isn't really improving things at all. Technically, since Japanese high school is non-mandatory, first years could be much older. It's not likely, but it's quite possible. For a current manga example, Ichiro in Shonen Jump's "Kokosei Kazoku" is 45.
