I mean in Japan there's literally a saying that goes like "No means yes" It's an actual kink and fetish. Obviously those gags in anime has a genuine impact on society, let alone THEIR BODY TYPES. I've seen some people complain on with the One Piece LA who genuinely think women can have that body build in real life when the author themselves confirm......   1 reply

They had an interesting point up until they brought in South Korea and Japan. As written, it sounds like OP thinks South Korea and Japan's attitudes toward rape are entirely shaped by their media, but imo it's the opposite way around. Their media is a *reflection* of the way their society views rape and sexual assault. Media can reinforce these ide......   reply

damn where did they write this? they're fucking based. i do believe you can't separate art from reality and anything we consume should be viewed in a critical light. i hate how yaoi (and any genre tbh) is painted as generally pornhwa when 1) a lot of yaoi have plot and shouldn't be seen as something less than het media (too many equate bl/yaoi/quee......   reply

I feel like this point is very poorly made imo, the two countries used as an example refer to two countries is which people ( majority) are becoming AWARE of the fact that sexual assault is so prominent yet it would still unfortunately pale in comparison to countries with actual statistical evidence in number of rape and assault cases. It’s not s......   reply

reading this gen hurt my eyes, not a single paragraph break. this is nature vs nurture all over again. personally i believe if someone thinks assault is justified based on the media they consume, it means they're already sick in the head. in the first place, comparing marketing with the portrayal of rape in media isn't apple to apple. you can't j......   reply

I was about to agree with you halfway... Do people really think People saying fictional character are not real character don't have any understanding or take away from violent media? Ofcourse they do. They're human beings also. The only difference is they know they don't condone it reallife and able to not get influenced with their development fron......   reply
