Uncle Wemus posted:Is that because life ends for japanese women after high school as they are ordered into domestic servitude More accurately, life ends for japanese women once they get married. They can pursue a career and be wildly successful at it, so long as they remain spinsters. Once a career girl gets married she'll stop being considered for promotions out of fear that she'll get pregnant and ruin everything. Business Gorillas posted:I heard life is basically over for everyone over there after school which is why they all have that weird obsession about high schoolers. Its kind of like how when the same thing happens here for bumblefucks in the south they latch onto the one memory of excitement they have (high school football) Which is weird since Japanese highschool is grueling and lasts 10 hours a day when you include mandatory clubs + cram school, all for the sake of testing into college. And then Japanese college is 4 years of loving around and doing nothing, even moreso than US colleges. And then companies hire graduates solely based on the name of the school on their paper, where employees return to a lifestyle of 10-12 hour workdays Yet there's hardly any animes or mangas glorifying college life. It doesn't make sense. My guess is that most Japanese are naturally reclusive so they appreciate institutions that force them to socialize with others. High school was probably the last time I had friends, anyway

Once a career girl gets married she'll stop being considered for promotions out of fear that she'll get pregnant and ruin everything. even though japanese kids work hard at school they also have a really close-knit social group and are forced to do tons of sports and performances together, it's all about that bonding that you don't really get anywhere else. By college the fear of failure has dully developed.

The Japanese Idol scene is dedicated to selling the fantasy of ~pure maidens~ so weirdos think they have a chance with seventeen-year-olds who get forcibly shaved and make crying apology videos when theyre seen with dudes their own age. the idol industry is loving bad my guys

actually it is an open secret that the japanese idol industry is owned entirely by the yakuza. given that yakuza are complete scumbags, they use their access to a massive, constantly replenishing supply of teenage girls about how you'd expect.

If it's an open secret why don't the cops do something about it ? Japan seems like a society that likes rules, the law and things being in their proper place - like Germany maybe ?

I learned while reading an SA let's play that Yakuza are more powerful than any other organized crime syndicate and are irreversibly entrenched in Japanese society

Rakosi posted:It also has a lot to do with modern young Japanese woman being generally tired of their mens poo poo and being more adventurous and eager to explore options in life other than babies. I studied in a Japanese uni last year and of all the Japanese students who were going to study abroad this year like 85% were girls. Yeah the traditional culture expects women to quit their careers after getting married and knocked up.

It is so intense that when the VA for an animated idol was maybe, possibly, never actually proven, in a porno before becoming an idol, fans went apeshit and destroyed their Blu-Ray collections and poo poo.

I'd like to see a Venn Diagram with Otakus on one side and the Alt-Right on the other. I'm guessing it would basically just be a circle E: American Otakus to be clear. Anime nerds, whatever.

Though I have heard of a few getting forced into porn because their parents had completely unrelated crippling debt.
