Anime fans are not pedophiles, but there is a worryingly large amount of anime that straight-up panders to pedophiles, large enough to color the conceptions to the average person.

Also idol culture in Japan is toxic as hell -- girls get dragged in, used up on stage and media, abused, then get farmed out to porn and even worse when they get too "old." Same thing happens all around the world of course so it's not uniquely Japanese, but it's especially prevalent there with the influence of the Yakuza.

I mean that’s no different than pop stars in the US. Hell pop stars might be a little worse.

Also goons are definitely not the average person.

I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.
1. there's a lot of pedo poo poo in anime, and even anime that isn't explicitly pedo often has pedo fan service poo poo that makes it really uncomfortable to watch imo
2. no poo poo this this doesn't mean all anime fans are pedophiles just like it's possible to watch an episode of deep space nine without immediately raping a toddler okay
3. it would be nice to let trans people be happy about a bit of trans representation without accusing them of being pedos because the representation is in an anime. it would also be nice if there was enough trans representation in all media for us not to be stuck going WELL, THIS ANIME ISN'T SO BAD, AND THIS VIDEO GAME HAD A TRANS MAN IN IT but lol
4. anime is blood
5. if we're calling out lazy jokes maybe we should start with "lololol anime == pedos for 4 pages is comedy gold" but go off, I guess

To be fair, it’s not anime fans that are pedophiles, it’s the Trekkies. :v:

quote:

The LA Times recently ran a story about the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit, which contained a mind-boggling statistic: of the more than 100 offenders the unit has arrested over the last four years, “all but one” has been “a hard-core Trekkie.” Blogger Ernest Miller thought this claim was improbable. “I could go to a science fiction convention,” he explained “and be less likely to find that 99+ percent of the attendees were hard-core Trekkies.”

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be bullshit, it seems like the kind of thing where they find Star Trek stuff in three or four sex offenders' houses and the story grows with every telling.

Oh good, so they're using the term "Conspiracy Theory", but not like we would (i.e. "a theory that X phenomenon is the result of a conspiracy"), but more like Chaos Theory or the Theory of Gravity.

Like Conspiracy Theory is something you can become an expert in, or get a degree in.

Feel like we need to ease them into the more positive side of conspiracy theory. Maybe they'll start doing hallucinogenics and join a commune. "dude they're covering up the aliens, because the aliens want us to get to a higher plane of consciousness, love one another and dismantle capitalism!"

I have been planning out how to turn preppers onto disaster socialism and community organizing outside of the state while locked* in a small room with anime, candy and weed.

Be the kind of weirdo that gets other weirdos to be weird together and we might survive climate change, capitalism, the rise of fascism and anime dubs. Feel free to remove or change the last word in the previous sentence if it'll get you motivated.
