@mausi
If you wanna have a discussion be brave and dont go around blocking ppl just because they disagree with you.
It seems you clearly havent read enough. the groomer being a 2ml DOES happen a lot in bl, and even in shoujos. Its not about looking for stories like this. A good example is R2R (tho that is korean)
Calling japan out for having a history of normalizing pedophilia is not being racist. It is simply stating a fact. Now stop being a coward
@mausi You're probably in denial. Japan literally has a dedicated neighborhood for the sexual exploitation of minors so much so that it has become normalized. We're talking about the country that only raised the age of consent from 13 years old three years ago, the country where drawing child pornography isn't a crime, where the possession of actual child pornography isn't a crime. A country where "lolicon" and "shotacon" are even a thing, where the sexualization of minors is an "appeal aspect" and a must for mainstream media, be it manga, anime, music, theatre or cinema.
There HAS been a lot a improvements about this topic in the last years, and hopefully it will get better and better, but STILL the state of it rn is abysmal.
Even in this, yeah the author made the dude that fucked a minor a villain. But it still framed the main character's dad as someone chill even tho he openly and continuously had sex with someone knowing a child might be watching/listening (even if not purposefully, that type of shit still constitutes neglect and abuse) and the author framed that disgusting and otherwise TRAUMATIZING experience for a child as something endearing, that motivated him to pursue art to try and express it's beauty. THAT'S BS.
THANK YOU SM OML
ITS INSANE HOW THEY ARE TRYING TO PULL THE UNO REVERSE HERE
STATING JAPAN NORMALIZES PEDOPHILIA DOES NOT EQUATE BEING RACIST.
I didnt even say it was JAPAN ONLY, as they said, putting words on my mouth. Yes this is a problem world wide. But as youve said, its insane for a country to legalize the possession of actual child pornography and make loli/shota even a thing.
Also the “What kind of bls are you looking at” sentence trying to be a gatcha moment????
Id like to ask something however, why are you going as far as pulling the “racist” card to prevent people from calling out the normalization of pedophilia in japan? Thats fishy
Also, as a poc, thats banalizing racism in itself.
Yeah it definitely banalizes racism. Mainly bc calling out problems in different cultures is the way to a better society. If those problems were never called out you end up opening a door to the normalization of these problematic gesture. Calling out pedo culture in Japan is the same as calling out the gun violence problem in the USA, calling out the racism problem in Argentina or calling out the systemic misogyny in Afghanistan. It doesn't mean that those problems define everyone in these populations, but that they are problems that affect these ppl day to day and therefore way of thinking.
You can't solve problems without talking about them

GAHHH THE EX/MENTOR IS SO HOT AND IM TIRED OF ALTERNATIVE PEOPLE IN MANGA BEING MADE EVIL LET HIM BE KIND PLEASEEEE
