Re: Fanservice/Sexism in Anime and How Anime/Otakus Are Seen By Society
That's an oversimplification. Oddly enough I think it illustrates the problem with western anime culture pretty well. As broad a genre as anime is, what annoys people is when anime fans fail to distinguish sexual themes from non-sexual, sometimes in ernist, and then fail to distinguish that from reality. Like when they… -

mjeehh i think you need to define viewing pleasure. most of the stuff ive seen from you, pleasure isnt the first word that comes to mind. i mean i enyoy your art, but you clearly have a thing for the grotesque, dark and morbid (at least a bit). my point is, its clear as day, that you are aiming for that. nobody who sees it… -

It's just funny to read men trying to decide what's fine for women or not. Some of you are talking like us, women all hated naked or big boobs or fanservice. I'm sorry I love Ivy, i love bayonetta, and fan service is really enjoyable. It doesn't make me feel outraged at all, because the character fit the personality. I'm… -

I was a huge mmorpg player, and oh boy the amount of time this happen, There's always someone retarded like this. I also remember once a random guy at school in our anime club who was convinced women were aberrations because we weren't like they are in anime. I also met a lot of people who firmly believe japanese women… -

I really enjoyed that video. That was some kickbutt art and animation. Is this what all the fuss is about? Art porn? I'd rate the quality of the images I saw in the animation above any skin flick I have ever seen. Am I now become derangement itself? I would horse whip myself,.. if I had a horse :) -

Justin Meisse I told you beforehand, I thought that these hikikomori weren't productive people. More than often these fellows cannot deal with society as a whole and often just give up. That's no good, you have to have the strength to care on. They don't really take the messages held within the shows and often fantasize… -
Re: Fanservice/Sexism in Anime and How Anime/Otakus Are Seen By Society
Justin Meisse You are right. There are fanatics for everything; perhaps I was being a bit too general. That's no good; perhaps I have seen too much of the lazy side and of the whole fantasy fandom; but ignored the hardworking fellows on poylcount who are medieval fellows, who make detailed crafts. Final Fantasy isn't… -

Well the fanservice thing at the beginning was a way to please the fan about some character, it was mean to be subtile way to gave some love from the character to the watcher. Don't forget that there's a strong culture of loving character called moe ( another term misused those days, but the word moe is suppose to be the… -

First - we're discussing a major subculture, not an art style. Anime is a style of art, but you're referring to a particular subcultural group in Japan that ascribes to particular types of anime. Japan and Japanese society, by and large, appears westernized to us but still has some major aspects that are definitely not… -
Re: Fanservice/Sexism in Anime and How Anime/Otakus Are Seen By Society
I don't think you are going to get an exact answer to that as different people have different standards of taste and how they perceive things. I think for some people the fact that there is some horribly distasteful subject matter portrayed in an anime style is enough to taint the entire genre. Frankly this whole thread…
