Cute?

How on Earth am I trolling? I really don't understand the appeal, to me it looks extremely weird and that's why I said. I'm not calling everyone who likes it a bunch of perverts, far from it. From what I've seen of anime I am unable to understand the appeal as I think it's very weird.
I appreciate what people have said in response to me, I think it's just one of these things I don't understand the appeal of. Each to their own, but I'll continue to think it's weird (and judge the lot of you!)
Don't accuse me of trolling when I'm obviously not, unless you are trolling...
I was referring to your comment about them being "stupid childish cartoons" when even a cursory knowledge of the subject shows that the large amount of it are not even aimed at children as an audience. A common position to be taken by people trolling to get a rise out of people who like the medium.

Yes, there's some weird **** in Japan, I've been several times and I have to say I feel safer walking around in a big city there than I do over here.
Personally the weirdest things I find out there are those large (~2ft?) dolls they have and dress up ... personally I think they look scary.
I think the fact that most people are seeing it this way says more about our culture than theirs. (spl?)
Ah, but surely trolling is intentional? This sounds more like ignorance
She's hot. But I'm allowed to say that, I'm 16. Unlike all you other paedophiles![]()

What about the photo book of Beckii Cruel which is literally just pages and pages of pictures of her dressing up in different clothes with next to no writing at all, which is considered "normal" in Japan for girls to do when they're popular. You can lie to yourself and say "There's nothing wrong with a book of just pictures of a little girl in" but there's something extremely disturbing about that being a norm for adult men to buy and jack off over.
Ahh i really want to watch that show now, but cant find it online anywhere![]()
Still illegal though, isn't it?
Who says they jack off over it? Just because that's your mind set, doesn't mean its theirs?
Indeed, Britney Spears made her fortune off the back of it.Right, and we in the west do not have a certain fascination with jailbait (as long as it's hot)?
The fact the the Japanese manager that she has, has concerns about pedophiles too says enough. She gets showered with gifts by near 30 year old men, photo books containing nothing but photos of her for said men and is basically stalked by some weird muppets too, you think this kind of behavior is considered "normal" for any country?
Im not saying its normal at all, but don't be fooled into thinking that its worse in japan then elsewhere. And that is where my point lies.
In fact (as stated elsewhere in the thread) rape and paedophilia related crimes are VERY low in japan. One of the lowest countries at all IIRC
Just because YOU think that everyone that looks at her pictures and videos over a certain age should be branded as a dirty old man/paedophile doesn't mean they actually are
It's probably because Asian men are the same size as Asian women so they can't really overpower anyone enough to rape them.
The other reason they're low in comparison to other countries I won't say, because it would cause me to get banned![]()
I think the narrow minded posts you have already spewed should be enough to warrant that
cubye!
