Dr_Mayus Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 also vert is a adult from the animation that's what I seen anyway all of them are actually adults Well they might be adults but they are drawn that way because that is what Loliporn is (or the longer word is Lolita Porn...and if you don't know where that comes from you can google it). It might be done for comedy and I am sure most of the people on here play HD for the comedic bits (I found the first game to be pretty funny...just the gameplay was terrible so I had to quit playing) but I would say a large majority of the people who watch these cartoons or play these games are not doing it for the humor, just like most people didn't watch Baywatch for the engaging story.

FilmFanatic Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I don't have a whole to add although I will say I was always under the impression that Hentai was just animated Japanese porn. I even bought a Hentai Collection on DVD for a laugh once because it was on sale and although I wouldn't so much describe it as porn so much as I would a basic story with more sex than normal. Every other time I had seen Hentai DVDs in a shop that's what was always on the cover. However I see now that's just a Westernised stereotype. And when I saw the Baka Hentai PP thread I was like uhhhh wut however that has now also been cleared up. Coincidentally I also got the HDN Hyper Collection in the mail today and the only reason why I had ever heard of it and decided to get it is because so many people on here like the series.

thegirlruka Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I kinda sorta get where you're coming from. I dont really get the vibe that theres a rift between the anime community on this site and...well, the non anime community for lack of a better term. At the end of the day, theres always going to be haters or people bitching for the sake of bitching. It really just boils down to ignorance and people taking offense too easily. People who are a little more vocally eccentric in regards to anime will probably push the buttons of someone completely oblivious to that community and it comes off strange I guess? I dont know, I've seen a great deal of community members on this site a lot more accepting of anime fans than not. Its up to you to be offended, but if you're one of those crazy super fans of ecchi games or games of the like, surely you understand the stigma that comes with that. And its clearly not stopped you yet. Personally I haven't seen as many people accept it as I'd like to tell you, I guess we're on different ends of the spectrum in this regard Though I do have to disagree with there being a lack of non-anime members in the community, they exist in quite a large number if you look, its just they're not active... perhaps because they feel slightly overwhelmed in some regard? It seems like the forum regulars are vocally more accepting and the chatbox regulars are vocally less accepting. (I hope I'm using that word right.) This is just a personal observation. It could be why the two of you have different understandings of it. Edited November 24, 2015 by Urushiro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Superbuu3 Posted November 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Firstly dont take this personally as the stuff tht you do certainly has no reflection on you as a person and i'm sure you're a lot nicer in person (I know shitloads of people on here hate me I've seen the comments in the chatbox when i've walked in there, aside from poor health it was the other reason I post less now), I'm more than active enough here to comment on how the forum is. The problem is not as big as you are making it out to be. Its just like when I first came on this forum I remember you very well, being extremely rude and unfriendly and upsetting lots of people, derailing topics with arguments and personal agendas you had against specific people and making it clear to me chatbox people and forum people should be kept seperate. I will add you have been acting more mature for the most part lately, but that youve done nothing to show me you've made amends for your previous actions and it certainly doesn't remove the level of hypocrisy (You being the guy who made a 9/11 joke) this topic has. Seeing as you've actively segregated previously between the chatbox and forum goers. You've also been banned, I may not know the reasons, but I can't say I trust someone who offends and trolls repeatedly and then asks people to open up a polite dialogue. No dialogue needs to be open, all problems woud be solved with the following. 1. People need to drop the namecalling 2. People need to stop posting in threads they have nothing useful to add. 3. No derailing topics with roleplaying (do that in PMs) and no spamming of images. Sorry but the rest of your peace negotiations would go about as well as they do in reality. EDIT: before someone jumps on me for making out i'm a self righteous asshole, I'll let my actions speak for themselves. I'm not a good guy just an average one as I certainly can be a dick, but I try my best to help people get along if you didn't notice with my group activities and I very much would like everyone to get along hence me stepping in when there's an argument to try and get people to calm down. More so recently than before. Edited November 24, 2015 by Superbuu3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post D-Tron Posted November 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) The way I'm seeing how this has played out is in a similar fashion as to how every sensitive topic with two very specific sides also plays out. By two very specific sides, I mean the one side that indulges, loves or is obsessed with in the topic at hand and the other side with little to no experience or hates the topic at hand that makes a quick assumption as to how the people who indulge in said topic live their lives. Did that not make much sense? Well, lolis aren't really a topic that each and everyone of us can understand so why don't we try putting a similar situation into a topic almost all of us can agree upon? Let's try Violence in video games. We've all seen those BS headlines and stories on mainstream media. They say that new evidence has been uncovered and it is that Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and/or Call of Duty, etc. was in the possession of the perpetrator behind the latest massacre or school shooting and this should upset people. It creates the common misconception that if somebody causes violence in a digital world that you suddenly get this huge rush of testosterone that makes all gamers think "I want to go kill someone/something right now!". You see how dumb that sounds? We've played those kinds of games and a lot of us really like them. Is it because the main objective behind the game is to kill people? Usually, that's not the case. Maybe there's a story that really tugs your heartstrings or the multiplayer is just really fun. Whatever the reason, I'm pretty sure you and I didn't buy the latest M-rated shooter just to kill digital people. Now let's get back to loli and how the situation at hand that played out. I don't know the full details as I unfortunately missed the events that unfolded before someone deleted them but I've always thought of damon as a pretty honest and straight forward guy so I'll take his word on it when he says that someone got easily offended of the idea behind the thread and started to question the morals or beliefs of everyone involved in the thread. Seeing as how I didn't see the events unfold, What I'm about to say is a completely baseless assumption that should not be taken as fact. What I'm assuming though is that the person got into an argument with the other forum members about the idea of earning trophies in games where you pro furiously rub the bodies of girls of questionable ages. Though the person in question may have not said it in the thread, I'm guessing that they thought everyone in the thread might be pedophiles that would play one of these games and suddenly think "I want to go f*ck one of these underaged girls right now!" Similar to how the violence in video games situation plays out, those who actually indulge in the topic at hand probably thought it was stupid and quickly came to the defense of lolis. Maybe they're just cute girls that they would rather treat as a younger sister instead of an underage body that they can f*ck or perhaps there is a loli they like in an anime they loved for the story or action. Liking a loli doesn't necessarily mean you want to stick your dick in one. Finally, there's one more situation that plays out almost the same way from my own personal experience as a trophy hunter; My brother thinks I only play games for trophies. He thinks all I am is a completionist whore that enjoys trophies more than I actually enjoy video games. As someone with 80 plats of experience with trophies, I know this isn't true. I just think of trophies as additional challenges within games, but I want to enjoy my experience with the game as well. My brother even thought I hacked a couple of games for trophies like BioShock and Shadow of Mordor because I technically don't have all the trophies for them. That's because he doesn't know that you don't need to earn DLC trophies to unlock a platinum trophy so that just goes to show how little experience he actually has with them. With all those being said, that's not to say that there will always be people in these groups that make everyone else look like idiots and and end up creating these stereotypes in the first place. Some actual, real pedophiles are into lolis, someone wanted to know how Grand Theft Auto would be like in real life and sometimes trophies get the best of me and I know I'm doing it for the trophies rather than enjoy myself sometimes. I guess what I'm trying to say in a tl;dr version is that there are some real reasons as to why people might question your own hobby. Every now and then you just have to step into the shoes of someone from the outside looking in and try to think of things they might find strange or uncomfortable about the topic, whether it be violent video games, lolis or trophies before getting into a debate with them. They may not know as much as you in the topic at hand but that's just a part of having a hobby. There's no way you can convince everyone that nothing is wrong with your hobby because quite frankly there are cons to almost everything. Sometimes, You just gotta be the more mature person, agree to disagree and quietly exit the conversation. I had no clue something like this even happened until I read this thread. To be completely honest with you, I think this is just something that we'll forget about sooner or later and will heal overtime. You know, until the next loli vs "morally straight" unfriendly debate pops up then we're back to square one.

Dalez1658 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Anime is not only good, it should be mandatory for everyone. If elected dictator president, I pledge to increase funding for the research and development of new animes by 1000%, as well as found an elite squad of special forces known as O.V.A. (omnis vitae anime or "anime life for everyone") to extol the virtues of anime upon everyone and... "assist" those who have not yet accepted it into their lives. Slightly more serious answer : "Enjoy what you like". To paraphrase Kenichiro Takaki : "With so many things for one to enjoy in this world, there is nothing more futile and pointless than wasting your time on things that you dislike or that you cannot understand".

Asuka Langley Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Well they might be adults but they are drawn that way because that is what Loliporn is (or the longer word is Lolita Porn...and if you don't know where that comes from you can google it).

Actually I'm pretty sure it's explained at the end of the PSA that there's Lolicon and then there's body types tailored to suit each individuals needs, in the case of HDN it could be said that the bodies are in fact tailored to each persons preference as opposed to being specifically lolicon - as I'm sure the characters are not 10 years old Remember, this is coming from someone who despises HDN. Firstly dont take this personally as the stuff tht you do certainly has no reflection on you as a person and i'm sure you're a lot nicer in person (I know shitloads of people on here hate me I've seen the comments in the chatbox when i've walked in there, aside from poor health it was the other reason I post less now), I'm more than active enough here to comment on how the forum is.

I understand that some of the posts already may have been misleading in the way of making people seem triggered in one way or another but this has been a pretty chill topic so far and there sure are less "butthurt" people than I expected to pop up. Next I'm sure I've already mentioned I'm not the best of people - the last 9/11 joke I remember making being the one on that severely racist Paris topic intended in irony and nothing apart from that. Additionally making ammends for whatever I've done in the past is a bit hard when you've got - insert your favorite offensive word here - who have no idea what they're going on about, believing that they're the righteous ones and not listening to a word that you say. Now I'm not saying you're one of those peop- "[...]but I can't say I trust someone who offends and trolls repeatedly and then asks people to open up a polite dialogue." Oh. However I am saying because of them, it's literally impossible to make ammends as they don't give you the chance to open up any dialogue whatsoever.

You should know you are a chat box regular and you certainly would've seen the comments against me. I was talking about my actions in general which a lot of people are pissed off because they think i'm trying to play mod. The discussion is calm nothing is happening and I doubt anything will, but the topic is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Although I actually wrote that out beforehand because I had a feeling you'd write something about me being self righteous. We both know you've done a bunch of 9/11 jokes i'm more bothered about the fact you make any and sometimes out of the blue for no reason. The fact is you just bring up 9/11 very easily and its depressing there's multiple instances. If you want to make amends stop segregating and don't troll people I see it constantly. Saying one nice thing does not redeem a bunch of bullying that I've seen you doing. Be consistent and i'll trust, agree and even support you if anyone gives you a hard time. But don't tell me you've changed when within the last week I've seen you make 9/11 jokes and on top of that this topic seems more about you being a self appointed spokes person. Let's face it if someone else wrote the opening post you'd have asked who put them in charge or just trolled.

CasaDeBen Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I feel like im somewhat of a minority. I play the games but I actually hate anime. With exceptions of like studio ghibli movies. I dont care for the under age stuff. I dont care for the crazy perv stuff (but I have a plat for monster monpiece and criminal girls) i just for whatever reason enjoy the games. Ive always had a thing for rpgs but dislike anime. Now as the games develop and evolve to be not 16bit (yah yah its been that way awhile) i get things like voice acting i dont care for. Especially in japanese. And while i can enjoy a story and watch the scenes i just dont see the draw to certain characters. Does this mean i cant like a character? No way.

Satoshi Ookami Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I actually read the whole thread, including the first post and... Am I the only one that thinks the problem is on the non-anime side according to the OP? I'm neither chatbox regular, nor have I seen any of the mentioned "crisis" so I can't contribute much, but don't all arguments start with the non-anime side attacking the anime side? Feel free to clarify it for me, but that's how it looks to me. EDIT:And from what I've seen, problems are with threads. In that case... why not avoiding them? There were suggestions to make Anime section, unfortunately, they were abolished. Maybe now, if you present these issues, Sly may make it. In that case, the "dangerous" threads would be easier to avoid? a big titted blonde who looks like she is sucking a dildo stuck between her breasts But that's what you see Obviously, since it's green, everyone knows it's her ribbon Edited November 24, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon_0 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well they might be adults but they are drawn that way because that is what Loliporn is (or the longer word is Lolita Porn...and if you don't know where that comes from you can google it).

As said before the shape of the loli is not a bad thing and as everyone stated before it is not okay if the person is under 16/18 (some countries different age limits) but if they are a adult tbh there is absulutely no issue with it. Some people can play it for the flirting so what? It didn't cause world war 3 yet and we are absulutely fine. Just because it looks like children... Doesn't mean we like them for that... as stated multiple times it is the body shape etc. Not the age considering they are all adults I believe this is big enough prove that we like how they look and it isn't about the age, if people really craved children people wouldn't like HDN as much as they do.Indeed I was I'm also known as Mr. FellAsleepInAVoiceChat Don't even remind me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So already this has caused that arguement and people are already disagreeing about the games here. Its only a matter of time before someone loses their cool.

Ruliya Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Did you know that the age of consent in Japan is 13? Might help in understanding why there are lots of sexualized young teenagers in Japanese things, it's acceptable there. However not so acceptable in many western countries. So characters have their ages upped to, usually 16/18+ for western released.

JapanimeGamer Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am relatively new to these forums but what I will say is that from the first moment that I started to read here it became quickly apparent that there was a very healthy anime appreciation society here. Which was great. After several days of further reading the surface began to get scratched and beneath it I could see that there was distinct groups of people here... Those who like anime. Those who like anime and hentai included. Those who think the above two are just the same and are all perverts. And those who don't understand any of it and think its all just nuts. Now a lot of the posts I see here by anime fans are very defensive, it is as though they know they are going to get bombasted the moment that they click the 'post' button, and when they do get mocked (however slightly) they quickly invade that persons profile and rate them down, this can happen by numerous people with their 'friends of friends' all joining in... when you offend one anime fan you seem to offend a whole horde, treading on a bees nest if you like. My opinion is that if someone thinks all anime is pervy and just under aged porn then that's ok... I don't see why it matters what anyone else thinks to be honest. It is what you want it to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bucknerd Posted November 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Did you know that the age of consent in Japan is 13? Might help in understanding why there are lots of sexualized young teenagers in Japanese things, it's acceptable there. However not so acceptable in many western countries. So characters have their ages upped to, usually 16/18+ for western released. Just one of the many cultural differences people find it difficult at times to understand. It's true the age of consent is 13 but all municipalities and prefectures have their own particular laws such as Tokyo's “Youth Protection Law” which prohibit adults from having sex with youths who are under 17 years old. In other words, Japan also holds that adults having sex with children is wrong/abusive/disgusting/an abuse of power. However I will say that in my mind there has always been a separation between 2D and real life. It's strange that I don't find loli stuff offensive but then again most of my plats come from games like Akiba's Trip, Monster Monpiece, and Senran Kagura. The disconnect intrigues me. I am also a feminist (and a woman) the believes sexuality can lend power to women. I guess my disconnect stems from Sailor Moon being my first anime. She's 14 years old for the majority of the series but in my elementary school mind middle school = adult. I also associate anime with my "safe space" since I grew up in an abusive home so maybe I created a division between my "safe space" and reality to endure? Either way there's some cognitive dissonance going on. In regards to the Nep Nep community here - I have seen some ill feelings regarding them. When one of the first Nep threads first started I peeked in, mainly to ask about HDN, and was quickly overwhelmed. Not in a bad sense; I simply was confused and had no idea what to do with all the pudding. I'd wager that alot of people who disregard the HDN community were just overwhelmed/confused. Regardless everyone deserves respect. Oh, and Broccoli forever. Shit, why is my favorite character the smallest/youngest, nyu?
