*sigh* Your 3 posts are rambling all over the place, Mimi. I think you're getting just as "hyped up" as you say that I am.
Look, I think rape is one of the worst things that could happen to someone. It is precisely because it is so heinous that we m...
There's been strong advances recently in trauma treatment, especially involving propranolol which addresses the emotional trauma. I remember an account where the new treatment was able to let a rape victim recover emotionally enough to be able to see...
The idea that "rape is worse than death" has real impact on real victims, no matter how much you try to dodge and avoid it. You're refusing to take responsibility for the ideas you're perpetuating and the discrimination and pain those ideas are enabl...
By that logic, any extreme trauma is worse than death. I see that you're in the military. Are veterans suffering from PTSD in a fate worse than death? Should we encourage them to commit suicide instead of suffering for the rest of their lives?
I ref...
( begin sarcasm )
Oh, I see. A raped woman should just kill herself then, because rape is worse than death. Their entire life is meaningless because rape ruins it all.
( end sarcasm )
I'm usually not rude, Mimi, but BITE ME. I know people who've b...
It's only going to grow due to the media attention this is getting. Right now, millions of people, both male and female, are finding out about rape games and discovering that they like them.
Which Youtube video? One of them has nothing to do with Rapelay at all; it's a happy-happy sex game. Just because Illusion made a rape game doesn't mean that they only make rape games.
I'm going to tell you something very difficult, tymmur, but it's for your own good. Rapelay didn't "make" you a rapist, it merely made you realize that despite your idea that you are "strong-willed", you have the potential to be a rapist. Some people...
Yes, but tentacle sex didn't become a widespread iconic fetish until modern censorship laws and the response to it.

It's the inevitable nature of censorship. Weird stuff naturally stays o...
Hoo boy, now brace yourself for the birth of even crazier sexual fetishes!
Whenever Japan has banned something, a new, even weirder and grosser sex fetish eventually grew from it. Where do you think tentacle sex came from?
You're getting your terms mixed up. "Technically" implies precise legal definitions, in which case it's not stealing (a criminal offense), but rather copyright infringement (a civil offense).
There are two kinds of criminals. The first and most common is the criminal who has some sort of underlying rational reason for committing their crime (money, power, respect, etc). This means that it is possible to adjust your laws and society to rem...
I hate these kinds of ads; they never work. Simply yelling at teenagers to not do something will only make them want to do it even more. Besides, you can't get morals from a billboard, at least not worthwhile ones.
Unless you've got a book/videoscreen handy or are dozing off, brief accidental eye contact on the subway is pretty much inevitable. So I take the opposite approach and just keep my eyes moving in slow, wide "scans" over everyone in the subway, never...
Umm, Danny, I didn't even have to click on this entry to get spoiled; the way it was automatically displayed on the frontpage was enough. The thumbnail, title, and text excerpt provided enough information to spoil in a single glance. It might be a go...
As soon the anime/manga companies formed these sort of media "associations" (ie: cartels), I knew eventually they would start acting like the hostile short-sighted control freaks of the MPAA/RIAA that plague the USA. User-created MAD and parody video...
Kato is nothing compared to Miyazaki Tsutomu. Despite your moralistic scaremongering, otaku culture has survived even worse things, and that was when otaku culture was even weaker than it is now. All your complaints have been made before, and have be...
I like Japanese curry, but I don't have a sweet tooth, so moe curry isn't any more appealing to me. Besides, moe is consumed with the eyes, not with the mouth. ;p
I still love anime, but I've watched so much and so many different kinds over the years that I can get easily bored. Every anime series has "slow" periods; an average-quality series with no moe will probably end up losing my interest during the inevi...
Hopefully Taro Aso of the LDP is an indication of a growing government acceptance of otaku culture:

The stabbing and its repercussions were very depressing for me. However, I can't but laugh at the sheer desperate crazy absurdity of this "news reporting". Thank you, sleezy tabloid news, for unintentionally cheering me up with your truly stupendousl...
It was easier to find good electronic deals in Akihabara some years ago when there was less emphasis on anime/manga/figures and more on radio/camera/PCs. Now you typically have to hunt around the side streets to find the electronic bargains.
Neither real-life women nor plastic figures seem strange, but combining the two just looks weird. Probably due to the contrast between living flesh and stiff inanimate matter; reminds me of people who have had too much botox and plastic surgery done...

Marcel, keep in mind that unlike real children, drawn lolis tend to have body proportions attributable to mid/post-pubescence. For example, if you look at the screenshots in the most recent Sky Girls post, you'll see that the loli characters still ha...
