It's this crap from Japan that really gives anime, and its related media, a horrible name. I have to say Japan has lost a lot of respect from me personally because they tend to accept things of this nature too much. A while back I looked into why some parts of Japanese culture get into this **** and accept it, and after reading it the general reason they consistently cling to is that it is a preventative measure for things like that happening in real life. Right...and the game designers who make the graphics and the voice actors who agree to this are respectful of all people...I do not buy that. I would hope for a backlash by the female population but they don't seem concerned in the slightest. Perhaps it doesn't affect them in real life...I hope not anyway. I think it's ridiculous that game companies are allowed to make things of this nature. And are almost always one-sided: exploiting women. Different culture. Different way of dealing with it (or not caring at all perhaps).
Okay...fine...so it *may* stop some of the bad people from acting out. However, it also screws up younger children, teens, and adults (namely males) who get into that stuff by accident (or on purpose) and can ruin many people's lives. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be around the people who get into this stuff, wondering what they are thinking when they look at me. And it's creepy since I probably won't know if someone is, so it just makes me more and more wary of any guy who looks at me. If the only way they can think about women and the intimacy that comes with relationships is through watching horrible anime and playing disgusting games, then why would I want them in society with the rest of us? I'll stop here because this topic makes my blood boil.
