You are all hypocrites. I spent time and energy writing out how it is wrong to bully weeaboos and you all mocked me. All you can do is bully people. I thought leftism was about equality and diversity. In reality, all you do is attack white men for liking art from a diverse range of countries. Anime haters will never match the charm and cuteness of Asuna Yuuki or Rei Ayanami so I am unsurprised by your jealousy. Obviously, communists could never create art as cultured and beautiful as the Japanese. Unless this time you can come up with a reasonable response I will consider this a win for me. あなたは私の刃で死ぬでしょう°
“Every single community everywhere for all time has the exact same percentages of child predators” isn’t a very believable or provable claim.
Are you saying stamp collectors are just as likely as weebs to want to creep on children? :what-the-hell:
At least anime creeps don’t get out enough to cause that much actual harm.
That’s also a tall claim.
Just about every active violator has at least some collection of child porn, cartoon or otherwise, in their collections once they’re arrested and their stuff is confiscated.
If you want to go to bat for an entire genre instead of just acknowledging that there’s a particularly bad side to that genre with a lot of reach (and industrial influence, and much of the industry profiting off of their cravings), you have to selectively ignore that unlike, say, stamp collections, a lot of anime really is designed from the start to cater to pedophiles and/or normalize pedophilia. Not all of it, of course, but enough that ignoring that deliberate pandering is a bad faith defense.
I don’t even watch much anime.
For some reason, in my experience, the most spirited defenses of problematic things tend to be from people that claim they’re not even really into whatever’s being defended. :fry:
I would watch more anime if there was more to watch that didn’t have the qualifier of “this is really good once you get past that part!” or “the pandering to child predators actually has a point and/or is empowering and/or is satire and/or has a deeper message actually.” :kombucha-disgust:
