I admittedly find it bizarre, to say the least. But the opinions and discourse here are definitely challenging my intolerance. I also haven't lived in Japan, so I can only repeat an observation I read from someone who had, which was that the consumption of this type of media or cartoon rape-porn seemed to be fairly acceptable to do in public (openly reading such content in a crowded subway for instance was not uncommon). Which could reasonably make people feel uncomfortable or belittled, especially if you're in the same class of fictionally victimized people. On the other hand, I suppose people in the States are free to walk around wearing swastikas. So, I guess the takeaway is that, in either scenario, you're just an asshole legally exercising your rights?
