Re: something i never understood about anime
you can do what you want. still has nothing to do with what I posted. the discussion doesn't have to go there and I would rather it didn't. But since you two are hell bent on discussing pornography in this thread, have at it.Last edited by beastwork; 05-26-2010, 10:37 PM.Comment

Re: something i never understood about anime
I ain't "hell bent" on doing anything.
But your not understanding anime mature themes inside of a culture lends itself to discussing how that society deals with sex, nudity, porn.
It'd be like trying to discuss violence in films but only fist fights no gun battles.
As such, I left it alone per your request untill you pointed at me agian with that "you two" line. You can go back to having a sheilded discussion on a foriegn culture.Comment

Re: something i never understood about anime
If the topic was as broad as "violence in films" as you conveniently argue, then by all means, come one come all. The reality is that if you consider the context of the original post its clear that I'm not asking about EXTREME anime(anime "exclusively" for toddlers OR adults) on either side of the spectrum. In fact I actually was very specific and gave a few examples to steer the conversation clear of such topicsI ain't "hell bent" on doing anything.

What part of my OP screams "hey fellas, let's discuss cartoon porn"? Can we agree that just because the topic of sexuality in media comes up that it does not necessitate an in depth discussion on pornography? Do you really think I need to ask you all about how the Japanese view pornography? The internet is rife with data on that subject. Unfortunately I have not been able to find data that explains the gray areas of "mainstream" anime, you know, the kind a kid and his parents may find themselves watching together. So thank you for your attempts in all your wisdom to "unshield" the discussion, but your input lends itself to derailing the direction of the thread.If a young Japanese kid was watching an anime with his folks and a panty shot was shown, would there be embarrassment or would it be accepted as the norm?
I pointed at you (and others) because once I clarified that discussions on porn aren't really helping to answer my questions on anime, I was met with justification on why it should be discussed (much like you are doing now). The appropriate response would be to keep it on topic It seems as though trobinson97 is the only person in this thread with enough knowledge on the subject to discuss it with out stating the obvious. That's fine. Apparently I've come to the wrong place for the answer.Comment

Your perception of what is "clear" in your original post is not remotely so.The reality is that if you consider the context of the original post its clear that I'm not asking about EXTREME anime(anime "exclusively" for toddlers OR adults) on either side of the spectrum.
