Currently, BBC has written an article and has stated that anime and manga promotes child pornography. And in 2014, as a lot of people know that CNN came out with a report stating that anime and manga promotes the same thing. What are your thoughts and opinions based on the matter?

Do you believe they are right or wrong? Does Japan have a problem with pedophilia (The age of consent in Japan is 13 years old! YIKES btw)?

In my opinion, I'll say yes and no. The first thing they got wrong was the fact that they generalized manga and anime as a whole. Not all manga and anime is the same (But mainstream is beginning to become cancerous tho).

You have great series out there in the world like Naruto, Kingdom, Seven Deadly Sins, Wolf's Rain, and even The Promised Neverland. It's retarded to just label everything as bad, when a lot of it is not the same in a creative sense.

There are a lot of anime and manga that do sexualize children and young teenage girls like Ecchi & Lolicon (Fairy Tail & Astrisk Wars I'm looking dead at you). And I'm not gonna lie, Japan is the mecca and hub for pedophiles. It's like Disneyland for them. I mean you got crap like Ecchi and Lolicon that is downright disgusting.

And don't let me get started on the tentacle rape and the crap that happened in SAO.


Anyway, what is your opinion? Do you believe that there needs to be change in the industry, especially since children can be exposed to stuff like this? Please share.

They are wrong for putting it as a whole. And salty for protecting the bad parenting and blaming it on tv.
Yes, I get that, but don't you think that Japan is a little out of its mind for its pedophilia tendencies?

I mean, come on! Look at this crap!

Lmfao, more like largely pedophilic japanese audience is what keeps the loli shit going.

Anyway, anime as a medium promotes nothing. They're equoting otaku pandering aspect with the whole thing.

No Japan doesn't have a pedophile problem, would a country with a pedophile problem make this?

It the same equivalent of blaming violent video games and movies for crimes committed by youth. Parents are the ones who should be paying attention to this stuff.

I admit though Japan is rather uncomfortably comfortable with sexualizing underaged (by other country standards at least) little girls and even boys.

But then we have movies here like kick ass, Juno, the crush, even American Beauty that have teenaged girls and boys doing sexually explicit things so the report is somewhat hypocritical.

You do know that a lot of actors, who play high school teens in movies and TV shows, are like in their 20s and 30s right?

You do know anime characters aren't reallly little girls and boys right? Most of them are voiced by real people in their 20s, 30s,40s.

How many *** scenes can you see in teen dramas and teen movies. They have their own freaking genre!
The fact that The west does sexualize teen culture is the hypocritical part. And don't lie, the west does do it. The only problem is that it's live action so it's real and not weird. "Anime is cartoon and that makes it weird " - said by outsider.
