Your calling me names for my opinion on cleaning gene pool? Uncalled for. We have overpopulated this planet largely by distributing wealth via Robin Hood politics. Gene pool can be cleaned naturally if we stop doing this. You will be amazed how good it would be for environment.

This trend began in the ’90s, when columnist Akio Nakamori coined the term "chidol," or child idol, to describe the sudden increase of young models. The neologism fell out of favor and was replaced by “junior idol,” which shifts the emphasis from childhood and links the phenomenon with legitimate up-and-coming idols.You imply that Japan's kids are doing just fine, and I'm pointing out that, just like your suggestion that Japanese are accepting of the Akihabara spectacle described in the above article, you are woefully mistaken. To search Yahoo! Japan Auctions just type in your search term, in Japanese (the title of the item or the Juniors name, for example), in the top search field and then press the search button to the right (don’t worry about changing categories because you don’t need to): Even on the surface, this is a clearly absurd suggestion, as children appearing in films like, say, “Unbreakable,” have nothing whatsoever to do with expressly pandering to the sexual appetites of a particular audience. On a deeper level, what is more disturbing is that you seem to think the two are one and the same, since you seem to think the sexual exploitation of children is on par with appearing in a mainstream film, as far as abuse is concerned. And before you go making arguments about people with kids. I don't have children and don't have any intention of having them. But I do have a niece and I have the children of friends who I care about. Collectively we all work hard to see to it that we show them a good example. Their parents work hard to provide good homes and education. And they do all they can to ensure that they have a good and solid start in life.

It's tradition' is no excuse for acts of perversion. Japan isn't the only country in the world where men and women in days gone by did things their descendants today see as sad, perverted, cruel and twisted, sexually and otherwise. You need to spend some time with parents and realize the moral, ethical and legal obligations that adults have to protect children and to assure them the guidance and care that is the responsibility of parents and of society to support. 0 In any case, you don't represent any majority by a even a slight margin, and as hard as it may be for you to accept, society can and will continue to work to ensure children are given an opportunity to develop the mental faculties to make life decisions for themselves, and at a time that society has deemed appropriate for independence. No sooner. No later. Such an arrangement is far more advantageous to all parties involved as it places all participants on a more even playing field. The only people inconvenienced, it would seem, are those with sexual fantasies involving pre-adolescents. You’ll understand if I don’t sympathize. 0 The fact that a few perverted spectators, opporunistic parents and exploitative promoters are making this popular, does not in any way validate it as ok. In fact it is just a surface indicator of a much deeper problem. That being the sexualization of young girls in Japan.More and more I think this society is one with severe mental problems that are being swept under a carpet of silence. But the rug is full Japan and it is starting to spill out. You have college boys gang raping girls, people groping on trains, people snapping and trying to kill random people, the whole sexualization of children, and don't even get me started about the whole hostess thing. My point? There are going to be Otaku for each of those types and I don't think they agree amongst themselves too often when it comes to "other" types of manga/anime. You've already admitted you're fairly ignorant regarding manga and anime, but that didn't stop you from criticizing the entire industry. That just makes you ignorant, period. When [people’s sense of personal responsibility] gets overwritten by government, people loose that sense. This industry needs to end and the parents should be condemned so pimping out their daughters and sons. 0 Just read the news to see where this is pervasive and problematic. Parents selling their young daughters into prostitituion, young girls selling themselves for brand goods, teachers having affairs with JR high school kids, rape and assault on young girls, groping on trains. And more.

Right now, you’re about two steps away from your trademark rant about “sexual freedom, the natural expression of human desire, and evolutionary trends in sexual attraction, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum” and I’m here to tell you right now, no matter how many times you change your username, you’re still waaaaaaay off base with your assessment that you and Japan are fast friends when it comes to underage sex. The vast majority of Japanese society is in no mood or need of your version of the sexual revolution, particularly when it comes to its children. kirakira, that's good to hear, I also don't like the idea of the 13 year old in front of the mob of over 50s but that's up to the parents and "dazed and sheepish" is pretty open to interpretation. the fact that you're having to have this spelt out for you is concerning. i hope for your sake that you're being deliberately contrary 0 That being said, i don't think even cultural norms can be used to justify this. And I don't think in the case of Japan that cultural norms would extend this far. Perhaps its just something "normal" Japanese don't care about, even though they don't personally like it. That's not a justification, just an explanation.

There is something really wrong with you if you think the sexualization of a minor child is something that is ok. Or if having greedy parents exploit their children in pornography is ok. It isn't and no manner of denial on your part changes the fact that most civilized societies share the belief that it is our responsibility to protect children with laws that prevent exactly this kind of crime.
