It's actually about children in high school and if you think the nuditey and sex featuring children is bad then you're racist.

Hey now, you're missing the deeper meaning of how clothes represent oppression, the links between fashion and fascism, and also how the mom routinely molested both of her school-age daughters.

A good friend of mine invited me over to his place to play videogames and watch movies. Then he made me watch Kill La Kill with him, and now we are not good friends, because good friends don't show their friends cartoon child porn.

I never understood goon fascination with getting offended by anime. You're calling a show that aired on cartoon network child porn and willing to end a friendship over somebody watching it. That's some 80s satanic panic level hysteria.

It's obviously not actually child porn but you are being disingenuous if you can't at least admit that it is a highly sexualized show about highschool students. Just look at the google image search for the show and it takes like 3 images to get to something I would feel uncomfortable having on my computer even if it's legal. Just because you personally don't jerk it to the show doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people who do.

I was not exaggerating in that post. The poo poo literally happened in the cartoon and he also had literal cartoon child porn that he claimed to have downloaded "as a joke." Like, I'm not the smoothest shark in the social ocean, but even I know that there are limits with what you share with people, and I got a feeling this dude had even worse stuff hidden based on some of the stuff he used to talk about.

Watching anime does not make you a pedophile, just like carrying a loaded assault rifle into a crowded street doesn't make you a mass murderer.

I figured the Kill La Kill stuff was more egregious because he was under the impression that was totally okay to share, and the stuff he scrolled through to bring it up on the computer was "accidental."

Also, good rule of thumb: keep your weird porn out of your movie folders if you plan on having guests.

Absofuckinglutely. A lot of my old friends never outgrew it and they turned creeps and chuds, complete with the fedora and Gamergate delusions. I'm no sterling example of humanity myself -- big surprise, I know -- but I have my own place, I have a well-paying job, a decent social life (with friends who aren't creeps and regressives), and my sexual experiences aren't limited to watching Shinji jacking it over an unconscious Asuka.

The pro tip though is that you can watch anime and also be a functioning and well-balanced adult who doesn't spout off at people over dinner about some obscure, niche and probably oversexualised anime. Just like you can watch Rick and Morty without being a True Intellectual type.

Sure, but those people generally don't talk about either of those things in public, or even in private unless it comes up in conversation, and then only briefly until a more interesting topic comes up. They don't call themselves fans. They probably don't even think of themselves as fans.

Haha, no you idiot, it wasn't on Cartoon Network. It was on Adult Swim, rated TV-MA, and heavily censored.

this is also how I approach video games

like I play a lot of loving video games but I will never ever call myself a "gamer" or whatever

and yeah I've never discussed anime except on SA and with my close friends who like it

I remember I used to go to Borders when that was still a thing and this group of people would routinely cosplay as inuyasha characters and browse the manga and that was funny as gently caress to me

A lot of it has to do with identity. Too many people define themselves entirely upon the media they consume, resulting in shallow, hyper-defensive, adult children, and as I showed in the post that started this derail, it can leave them stunted in many other ways leading to unhealthy behaviors -- like a fetish for underaged cartoon characters, for example.

Again, I'm not saying I'm above it all, but my worst problem is a tendency to view the worst in every situation and to deny myself any sort of joy or positivity, which, let's face it, is completely warranted.

Can only imagine what the Japanese think about how hosed up Americans must be when they watch Rick and Morty.

Though basically, if you judge something by its awful fans, there are literally no interests you can ever find acceptable. That said, it seems you're way ahead of me on that. I suggest therapy.

To be fair to the Japanese in your scenario, they would be absolutely right. Besides, there's a lot of truth to be found when analyzing the worst of things -- a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, after all.

And therapy doesn't work. Therapists are expensive, they lie to you, and far too many of the ones around here try to push religion onto you as a solution.

Japanese Otaku are viewed in Japan with the same disgust that American Otaku are viewed in the US

It's exactly this. I don't think people can be blamed really, it's a symptom of late capitalism eroding and undermining the real world communities that people participate in and in doing so hollowing out a lot of traditional sources of identity. People are isolated and increasingly are left only with communities formed around the media or products that they consume.

It's not just media. Some people just desperately need *something* to identify with or they can't function.

I had a roommate once that told everyone she was a vegan and a lesbian. She wouldn't eat "anything with a face" and bisexual people were lazy/cheating.

She'd get drunk and eat chili cheese dogs almost weekly. Still claimed to be vegan.

She also had a male friend who she'd sleep with periodically. Literally mentioned that one time rather nonchalantly. She even met a guy that she ended up dating for a bit. Still a lesbian.

She took one class at the local university and the day after she got her student aid she had a gently caress load of university gear. You'd think this idiot worked for the school she was so decked out with their logo.

:stonk: Christ. Whatever happened to the good old days where you'd just invite your friends over and watch people scream and punch each other? Or blow people up by hitting their pressure points? Or go out in the woods looking for porn.
