Why are you blaming women exactly?
Japanese men seem afraid of women in general and have a need to infantalize them so they can consume them. There is a big culture of illustrated child porn there, it's out in the open, everywhere and normalized like no where else. It's retweeted on twitter by otherwise normal seeming illustrators/people, though it would disturb most people outside of Japan. The culture of cute, kawaii things is just as obvious in it's sex industry as it is in everything else, although in a very horrifying way.
- magic_beans 8y agoI do wonder if the pervasive sexualization of young girls in Japan deeply affects of psyche of Japanese men, who never develop the chance to form healthy sexual relationships with adult women -- because they've never had the opportunity to sexually desire adult women.
- someguydave 8y agoSo your theory for why some Japanese men withdraw from society is that they are defective?
- magic_beans 8y agoMy theory is that the cultural inclination to sexualize very young girls in Japan has created a great number of adult men who are unable to be sexually attracted to adult women. It's a cultural disorder, not a problem of any individual man being "defective".
- YorkshireSeason 8y agoAnd your 'theory' is based on exactly what credible evidence?
- belorn 8y agoYour theory is that the reason why there is a gender difference where 36% of men but 59% of women in the age group of 16-19 wanting sex, is because of illustrated child porn? Does that not sound a bit like an extra ordinary claim which might need some supporting evidence? Gender roles and norms is normally used to explain gender differences, and is often one of the first area that people explore. If the data had been reversed and 36% of women and 59% of men wanted sex, what would we normally claim to be the cause?
- ummonk 8y agoI think you read that backwards. Those are the respective percentages who don't want sex.
- YorkshireSeason 8y ago> Japanese men seem afraid of women in general Talk about sweeeeeping generalisations ...
- alecco 8y agoLess than 40% of young men are otakus. And only a fraction of that are into hentai. And a further small fraction of that are the group you refer. Yours is a very horrible generalization of all men and shows exactly my point. Men are to blame. Women are do not share any of the responsibility. Right.
