So I think at this point this deserves its own thread.
Hideki Naganuma, composer on Jet Set Radio, etc. has been enjoying popularity on Twitter for a seemingly-exaggerated 'horny' persona. His jokes about liking young girls (if they are jokes at all) have perhaps gone a little too far now though. Today's tweets:
He then follows this up with a reference to Charlie Chaplin, who was a pedophile (he married two underage girls during his lifetime). Is this meant as a joke punchline or a dogwhistle?
I've been concerned seeing his tweet interactions with young female fans before and was on the verge of unfollowing him myself. I hope Toni Codrea doesn't mind me reposting their tweet in here - I can confirm what they've screengrabbed is current if you go look at Naganuma's profile.
Feel free to dismiss this as a joke persona, but I felt this needed to be flagged up.
