I really don’t understand the logic of some people saying that because it’s drawn it’s not cp, it’s some bullshit “this is not a pipe” kind of argument. So it’s become this perverse feedback loop where the target demographic and the content creators are men who want to consume these over the top sexual situations as well as sexualised women.īut then the envelope pushing really started going further when they decided to go putting drawn cp out there. They draw the same kind of content over and over again instead of making new stuff because now it’s also true of a big chunk of anime/manga’s market demographic who pay the most for it. They’re the same type of people who, when starting out young, pushed the envelope by drawing their fetishes and publishing them to be distributed out in the open, and it attracted like-minded fans and animators until they’ve reached today’s level. That’s not the same with lolicon/shotacon, which is meant to sexually arouse.Īnother issue is that these people think that because it’s drawn, it doesn’t have the same impact as live-action media-if that were the case then I guess there’d be no issue with showing children things like Corpse Party, Juuni Taisen, or even Bible Black.Īnime/manga has become so pervasively sexualised because, as Miyazaki said, the industry is completely saturated with otaku. They confuse that violent videogames, though they also come with their own gross baggage, are often not the same as seeing lolicon: the former is meant as power fantasies. (tagging op cause I want you to see this thanks to for the extra info)Ī lot of people who are convinced that people are complaining irrationally about this also think that people who get uncomfortable over certain things in media are the same conservative news outlet puritans who claim things like that violent videogames cause mass shootings. That’s happening right now because people scoff and say “it’s just anime” even when the consequences of that attitude are right there to behold. real kids are getting hurt and nothing’s getting done about it because the cartoons are making it normal. and then eventually people get busted for having real illegal porn and nobody cares enough to fire them. You can’t oppose real-life pedophilia and ephebophilia and then look the other way when it’s “just anime.” saying it’s “just anime” makes the whole mess that little bit more normal, more socially acceptable. he paid a fine and went back to work.īecause in his line of work, that sort of thing is normal, and nobody paid it any mind No jail, no loss of his job, no ostracisation in the industry. dude paid the fine and went right back to work. the rurouni kenshin author got busted for possession of real child pornography and you know what happened to him? a 5,000 dollar fine and a warm welcome back to his old job.

You can already see the consequences of this happening.

Yes, anime is not real, but anime contributes to the real-life normalization of the sexualization of minors Oh and i don’t wanna hear “it’s just anime it’s not real who cares” from any of you because that’s not a valid argument
