I'm interested in knowing what you think about Lolicon in media/anime.
oh it's worse in the gameI'm interested in knowing what you think about Lolicon in media/anime.
You think its cool that little girl turns into this
when her powers are "unlocked"? Or is it okay because she's a game console/computer? I dont know much about the game past what I skimmed on the wiki so what is the appeal of her character for you?

I just ride along with what the franchise says. So sure, she's a game console, good enough for me. It's anime. It's wacky and silly and fun. That's why anime's friggin awesome. And she's adorable.I'm interested in knowing what you think about Lolicon in media/anime.

You are being needlessly aggressive. They explained what they are talking about, they aren't defending the kind of typical fanservice in shonen either. Like I agree with you that all this stuff is a problem but you don't need to attack OP for it, he literally brought up the conversation in the first place.
Well then! Explains a lot, but I'd still like to hear Milk 's perspective. I do find it interesting that the character designer is a woman.
How so? I'm genuinely interested lol
Not sure what you mean by "ride along with what the franchise says". Also I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt when you say you find those child characters "cute and adorable" and ask instead does the fanservice targeting those characters not make you feel a bit weird? Like say I find that a child character in a show I'm enjoying has adorable mannerisms but in the next scene theyre put into scantily clad outfits for no other reason than to titillate I would probably drop that show because that's weird and gross...but for you its cool specifically because theyre cute and adorable or??I just ride along with what the franchise says. So sure, she's a game console, good enough for me. It's anime. It's wacky and silly and fun. That's why anime's friggin awesome. And she's adorable.
I don't even know how anyone could like anime nowadays if loli characters disgust them so much. Sounds hard. They're literally everywhere.
And they're cute!
If I remember, there's a one-off line where Yukito calls Touya a sistercon and then Touya yells at him or something. I think it's in response to Touya saying that he's the only one who can bully his little sister. Touya is later shown to be secretly watching out for his little sister all the time, but that's presumably just because he's a protective big brother.
I'm not dismissing/deflecting wrongly placed fan support of this content, but the lack of accountability of the creators of that content. Perhaps I could have worded that better.
that's literally what you did, even if you weren't intending on doing it.
As in I'll just go along with whatever rules are set in place by a piece of anime media. Ageless game consoles? Sure. 1000-year dragon? Aight. Needs to embrace nudity in order to power up? Makes sense.
So youre saying youre literally okay with little children running around nude and being sexualized in media. No questions asked. And you find that cute. Okay.
From previous topics where this has come up, I've been told that this is kind of an urban myth. Looking at Wikipedia, it seems that possession of child pornography became illegal recently, production and distribution became illegal in 1999, and earlier than that there were laws about causing minors to commit "obscene act" have been around for decades.
Because Nep is wacky and silly all around while Fire Force is supposed to be a serious story? Not that hard to see the difference.
So sexualization of minors is fine as long as the story is wacky and silly and the underage characters are adorable and cute? Thats what youre saying?
Doraemon, one of the most popular Japanese icon of all time, constantly has scenes of 10 years old Shizuka taking a bath in his manga and anime. Does that count?

Supply and demand. Creators won't make them if there's no demand.

Isn't the target audience for that ten years old as well? I know pretty much nothing about Doraemon beyond the fact that it exists and is popular, but some quick googling is telling me.
this is not true. people create fucked up shit all the time that there's no demand for.
A bit reductive. There was no demand for Lolita that I know of but Nabokov wrote it anyway.
I'm genuinely asking the question because I feel the OP doesn't really put their argument clearly, and I'm just left with an uncertain sense of what he's talking about. Does Doraemon count or, as you say, not really? How about shonen manga like Hell Sensei Nube or Mahou Sensei Negima that often leave the elementary/middle school students in various scenario of wardrobe malfunction? Are those what OP meant, or are those fine because their target demographics are 12-18 years old boys, anyway?
Western media about high school is full of sexual themes because that's part of that period of people's lives. Similarly, you are going to see that in Eastern media about high school. The problem is that the framing and handling of those themes can be really off and gross in anime/manga, which is less of a problem in western media (though sometimes it does appear).
I think it's fair to draw a distinction just based on the fact that sex is part of your average high school student's life and thus media about high school students is going to reflect that. Whereas a story about children, or where child characters are concerned, should really never involve those elements at all because it's inappropriate.
I find myself watching more and more of that these days so I concur.
Yeah ik, I brought it up myself earlier. OP clarified later that wasn't what he was talking about. I think it's fine to still discuss it but I didn't want him to think he was getting misconstrued again.
