This anime doesn't have to try so hard because it is in fact what it is: funny, cute, artistic, well thought out for a slice of life.DAMN YOU SHOUTA After this episode, i just cant, i have to up my rating to an 8/10 now, its just so good. Anyway, the water dragon girl hasnt appeared yet. Really curious about her, when are we going to see her ? Let us name a few slice of life that try hard to be good (funny and cute). Tamako market K-on Lucky star These all suck. in comparison. Also Demi-chan is airing this season but it isn't as good. The opening and ending for maid dragon is stellar. |

Hidorai said: Newprimus said: Might it surprise you to learn that girls sometimes as young as nine can start masturbating? Children can become sexually curious and try to explore their sexuality on their own. Parents usually put a brake on that, but in this case Kobayashi wasn't in the mood to notice, and Tooru probably didn't care since I don't know, probably dragons have different standards for those things. It doesn't matter if the scenario where two prepubescent girls are trying to have sex is relatively possible or not. The problem here lies in fact that it's morally wrong to fuck children, alright? And in order to avoid childrenfucking we have to avoid turning children into an object that can be fucked. And the exact oposite happens in this episode. And her saying "licking" doesn't make it any fucking better, mate. All the trope pedo excuses in the world won't be enough to save this scene Face, meet plam. Palm, meet face. I'm sure you'd agree that it's "morally" wrong to kill humans right? Therefore, by your logic, we should avoid turning humans into mere targets for execution in violent video games! Civilian X was going to retire tomorrow, damn it! The objectification... The horror! But seriously, morals are subjective. Saying something is morally wrong or right and expecting others to agree just because is fallacious. Get off your moral high horse and drop the holier-than-thou attitude. No one is going to turn into a pedophile by watching anime or turn into a violent criminal after playing GTA. Just because you depict something as killable or fuckable, doesn't mean that people should do it. There are laws in place for a reason. Fortunately, the people on this planet are pretty well adapt at differentiating fiction from reality, unlike you. Though, I still disagree with you on the very premise that the children were depicted as fuckable in this sense. It's like when females show sexual agency or assertiveness, they're automatically advertising themselves as sluts. Jeez. |

Other than Lucoa offering her body as a last resort to remain relevant, where else has she made "sexual advances" on Shouta? Is it Lucoa's fault that she's well-endowed and that Shouta feels embarrassed or uncomfortable around her? Ironically, we're the ones sexualizing Lucoa and making her feel unwelcome because she "happens to have" big boobs. The show is making fun of people like you who feel awkward just in the presence of big boobs and assigning them sexual meaning regardless of context. Grow up. |

Dracom made an eloquent response but I feel I need to respond too. Again, no adult in scene. Additionally, the two are not doing anything that young children have never done before. Children hug. They kiss. And, heaven forbid, YES they sometimes do play doctor. Does the knowledge that children do that sexualize them? Does knowing that kids sometimes play show and tell make adults pedophiles? Kanna and Saikawa are doing things curious children do when their sexuality is budding (which then goes into full turbo with puberty, but this couple isn't there yet). Hidorai, your judgement is reminiscent to the way people try to solve teen pregnancy by damning sex and preaching abstinence. You are dismissing real-life examples and shutting the book on any discussion that tries to understand and come up with adaptive ways to deal with such things in favor of blanket moral judgements. |

I'd say Maid Dragon is a lot more "funny" than "cute". Like Acchi Kocchi. But K-ON is more on the "cute" side. Haven't seen Tamako Market, but it seems to be on the "cute" side too. Lucky Star is about meta humor, so it always depends on the viewer, and I think all of us non-Japanese fans miss out a lot. Demi-chan works in a totally different way, and goes for maximum heartwarming. In the end, it's all about your preferences.

That's a nice speech, but I would like to notice that Lucoa's outfits are quite provocative. Way more than any other female in the series, and most anime females in near-modern settings in general. With fashion sense like that and her attitude, she doesn't need big breasts to be considered sexy. |

If it were really advocating pedo, he'd be sucking on her tits like any other sane person. Honestly, I would have thought that Shouta denying Lucoa's sexuality would be a good thing in your guys' books. Like a commentary on how sex isn't the solution or something.

Dracom said: Face, meet plam. Palm, meet face. I'm sure you'd agree that it's "morally" wrong to kill humans right? Therefore, by your logic, we should avoid turning humans into mere targets for execution in violent video games! Civilian X was going to retire tomorrow, damn it! The objectification... The horror! . That’s dumb bad joke 0/10 Dracom said: But seriously, morals are subjective. Saying something is morally wrong or right and expecting others to agree just because is fallacious. Get off your moral high horse and drop the holier-than-thou attitude. No one is going to turn into a pedophile by watching anime or turn into a violent criminal after playing GTA. Just because you depict something as killable or fuckable, doesn't mean that people should do it. There are laws in place for a reason. Fortunately, the people on this planet are pretty well adapt at differentiating fiction from reality, unlike you. "Morals are subjective" yes, of course. They are taught and are not inherent. And for a newborn to actualize as human it has to be taught to be human, there are sets of rules that you have to obey in order to qualify as a human. Currently they are quite similar across the globe. I'll just assume you've forgotten that in all modern civilizations (and in most of civilizations of the past from the number of those that actually got somewhere) it's super not okay to have sex with children, so I'm not talking from a high horse when saying it's super not okay but rather digging you up from below the ground level to state "my" point to you (sorry if that offended you, I just liked the metaphor). When you show civilians being killed in gta, you show dehumanized ragdols with a few voicelines losing the ability to act. There's no empathy here unlike in story driven things like tv shows or movies where the viewer is expected to relate to characters at least in some way. You can’t make a compelling story where you don’t invoke any emotional response form the viewer. No matter how you build a plot it has to state some opinions, it has to present things in a certain light. Complicated works don’t make their points obvious and usually give you space to figure things out for yourself. Less complex works state them right away (like this particular fun little comedy show). So let’s agree on the fact that creators do actually think about what the viewer will be feeling at a given moment, ok? Usually when creator shows a person doing something morally questionable in a movie, he does it with an intention to make the viewer at the very least uneasy/uncomfortable so he enhances it with different little scene composition choices, sound choices etc. In games it is also possible to burden a player with a very real sense of guilt for he himself performs these actions. Hatred for example got banned from a number of countries because it was trying to make senseless mass genocide look cool, player wasn’t meant to feel disgusted with himself in the process. It pretty much got destructive propaganda piece treatment. Even though it’s not a very good example since it’s also for the most part ragdoll shooting with not emotional attachment. Making children being involved in sexual acts look cute and fun is essentially the same type of misdoing. Even if such games and show don’t explicitly say that people should do it, they still say that it’s okay if people do do it. And laws only really deal with the consequences. If there isn't a higher motivation not to do things, then life would be a whole lot murdery for everybody. Lex talionis and BC times were fun though, right? But to be fair those media products are only really hurtful when they explicitly promote violence. And my earlier claims quite possibly might be unjustified. It’s just that Lolicon cultists (jkjk) are a very small demographic and fairly antisocial one besides that. People don’t really know what to do with them or what to think of them. Like, maybe they are antisocial because they are secretly very very super pedo or maybe they are just completely misunderstood, who knows? People like you don’t often voice their opinions outside their circle so there’s no way of knowing what you’re really about. How about starting to share your thoughts at least with your surrounding first? There are people around that would surely understand and support you like your parents for example. That would be at least a step forward towards cleansing image of lolicon fans and maybe even Japanese culture in general Dracom said: Though, I still disagree with you on the very premise that the children were depicted as fuckable in this sense. It's like when females show sexual agency or assertiveness, they're automatically advertising themselves as sluts. Jeez Didn’t understand that soz im very foreign honestly |

I enjoyed this episode a lot. Not as funny as last ep, but definitely way cuter~ As expected some griping about deviant stuff, but whatever, no harm done, all in good fun. Riko is always amusing... she's addicted to the cuteness. flannan said: @eyesalad Hence the subject is best avoided. The complains and arguments have all been heard a billion times, and they're always the same ignorance and emotionally-driven.eyesalad said: Actually serious. flannan said: eyesalad said: Doesn't liking lolicon come standard with being an anime fan? I guess it's just me then.Hidorai said: Yeah, this episode creeped me out. I'm surprised so few people seem to have no issue with this here. Most of the episode was great but those parts really didn't need to be there.I want to continue liking this show but, damn, things getting this heated between two prepubescent girls is just very bizarre, even downright creepy (for non anime watcher it would be an immediate red flag). It's ok for girls to be in love, it's ok for kids to be in love, yeah but just don't make it dirty, ok?... jeez Then we have a segment about an adult woman making sexual advances at a young boy (who clearly isn't fond of it top that off) which also doesn't seem like a funny thing on it's own, didn't stop the creator from trying to make it a running gag though. Man, I thought it was supposed to be a feels-good show... But I don't really know how to feel about this episode. Well, I like all kinds of taboo relationships in general. I can't tell if you're just shitposting or if you're actually serious. Well, the assumption that lolicon is a standard was an exaggeration. In practice, lolicon threads in Anime Discussion subforum result in heated holywars. DeepMind2038 said: That's called erroneous pessimistic correlation. Also, plenty of kids have sexuality on the mind at that age; japan is one of the more tame, it's far more common in NA.Children that age usually aren't sexually active. What's being shown here is adults projecting their weird fantasies onto children. That gives this whole thing a strong pedo vibe, and I think every normal thinking person would see it that way. And if anyone says "But Kanna's technically not a child..." I'll smash my head into a wall. Hidorai said: It's fiction, calm your tits.Newprimus said: It doesn't matter if the scenario where two prepubescent girls are trying to have sex is relatively possible or not. The problem here lies in fact that it's morally wrong to fuck children, alright? And in order to avoid childrenfucking we have to avoid turning children into an object that can be fucked. And the exact oposite happens in this episode. Might it surprise you to learn that girls sometimes as young as nine can start masturbating? Children can become sexually curious and try to explore their sexuality on their own. Parents usually put a brake on that, but in this case Kobayashi wasn't in the mood to notice, and Tooru probably didn't care since I don't know, probably dragons have different standards for those things. And her saying "licking" doesn't make it any fucking better, mate. All the trope pedo excuses in the world won't be enough to save this scene @Hidorai about paragraphs Stop wasting your energy trying to justify a false premise. Pretty much everything you said in those paragraphs is nothing more than self-righteous gratification. People will always rant their faces off, but at the end of the day, you're bitching about fictitious representations. If you want to talk dehumanization, try complaining about business, desensitization, censorship, propaganda... Not this pedophilophobia crap. If you see a real pedo, then you can complain, until then don't bother. Fanservice sells, sex sells, akiba-culture is the most morally ambiguous and all-welcoming culture in the world. No matter your absurd fetishistic interests, everyone is welcomed and given a place in it. The biggest misconception people have is fiction leading to imitation - but that only occurs in those already with the predisposition. However the anomaly in akiba's case, is that generally the fiction is considered superior to reality, thus imitating it in reality would be downgrading.

It's like when females show sexual agency or assertiveness, they're automatically advertising themselves as sluts. Jeez Kids experiment with their sexuality... If you don't believe that, then you haven't been around kids much, or your childhood was fairly regulated. PS: kids do things like that without ulterior motives. An adult may do something to gain something else, a kid will just do what they want or what they're curious about. That's why they're called "pure". If you want to claim that everyone here who liked Riko x Kanna scenes are potential child-devouring pedos, then you are going to get one hell of a raging stampede of people who refuse to be labelled something they're not. Fyi: lolicons are common in both males and females, actual pedos are rare. Japan, especially akiba, understands the difference between fiction and reality (and anyone who fails to see the difference is usually very promptly corrected), why can't you? See it, learn it, remember it, move on. |

@GenesisAria ye cool exagerations mate but can you first explain your view on fiction/reality relation? It's hard to see how fiction is anything but an imaginative rearangement of different concept we get from reality. You're very good educator I'm ready to listen please you hjave an audience |

GenesisAria said: @Hidorai about paragraphs Stop wasting your energy trying to justify a false premise. Pretty much everything you said in those paragraphs is nothing more than self-righteous gratification. People will always rant their faces off, but at the end of the day, you're bitching about fictitious representations. If you want to talk dehumanization, try complaining about business, desensitization, censorship, propaganda... Not this pedophilophobia crap. If you see a real pedo, then you can complain, until then don't bother. Fanservice sells, sex sells, akiba-culture is the most morally ambiguous and all-welcoming culture in the world. No matter your absurd fetishistic interests, everyone is welcomed and given a place in it. The biggest misconception people have is fiction leading to imitation - but that only occurs in those already with the predisposition. However the anomaly in akiba's case, is that generally the fiction is considered superior to reality, thus imitating it in reality would be downgrading. It gives deviants a place to direct their urges in a safe environment. Result: the world's most successful unintentional utopia project. Stop bitching and get with the program.

In the end it's just an anime, there is no need for over thinking this. Sane person allowed walking outside should have enough brain capacity to realise difference between real and imaginary world. There are *billions* of people worldwide enjoying fiction with murder and violence and yet we don't live in anarchy. |

They're not harming anyone, and you have no right to criticize harmless interests. PS: i've never seen an anime or manga loli that looked like an actual child. Keep in mind there are numerous adult voice actors who voluntarily audition for and want these roles knowing what to expect. As goes for any context: the world is never what it seems at first. |

You're very good educator I'm ready to listen please you hjave an audience There's no point for GenesisAria to even reply. Your type is the typical gratification seeking dork that just have to show others how amazing you are, perhaps due to a lack of self-esteem? I'll grant you this, you have the moral high ground on interpreting ep6 of maid dragon. O-great one. Not that it means anything to be honest or any indication how you really behave in life though.... News-flash, some people only find the Riko and Kanna antics amusing and cute. Are they just not as force sensitive as you highly esteemed self, the moral compass of anime viewership? Or maybe it is you? Kids do outrageous stuff, kids sometimes do not behave "proper", that's why they are kids and why people find them amusing. So instead of call the police and come to the rescue on your self-congratulatory high-horse, how about just have some perspective and faith that perhaps, perhaps unlike you that has to be constantly self-aware to rein-in your inner desires, most people don't even see what you are seeing in the shadows? Like people describing Riko's fan-girl face in a sexual context, those are the same people who probably sought out/watched stuff that made them..lets say, too sensitive from a mere JOKE. On topic, I sort of interpret Kanna as the one in total control of the relationship/friendlship whatever you call it. She's intentionally pushing for reactions out of Riko, in reference to what she's observing of the relationship between Kobayashi/Tohru. Kids (emotionally) as kids do, wants to copycat, so she just played Riko. Is she exploiting Riko? In a manipulative way yes nor she is viewing Riko as an equal (eg before she agrees to play a game, she demands it to be 'fun', so she's clear on what she want out of it rather than say to play the game WITH Riko). Regardless, it's a stretch to say her intention is sexual as at the end, and whilst she's protective, not co-dependent. |

GUYS!!! I think i figured out what kanna said after going to Riko's house. I went to google translate(I know it's not the best), but after playing the translation over the window scene, it's seemed to fit perfectly well. I believe it is something along the lines of "wanted to know love". If you want to, try it it out for yourself and see if you agree. |

Hidorai said: Dracom said: Though, I still disagree with you on the very premise that the children were depicted as fuckable in this sense. It's like when females show sexual agency or assertiveness, they're automatically advertising themselves as sluts. Jeez Didn’t understand that soz im very foreign honestly I have no idea where are you from, and I don't even know your gender, so some of the things I'll say might seem obvious, and others insane. 1) In general, western society (and other societies too) tend to suffer from a perception bias known as "madonna-whore complex". That is, they perceive a woman as either not thinking about anything sexual ever ("madonna", after the mother of Jesus Christ), or as being infinitely sexual and willing to have sex with anybody anytime ("whore"). 2) Most real women do not fit either extreme. Even most anime women do not fit these extremes. They have different ways of dealing with their sexuality. (and this is a good thing, if you ask me) 3) In the modern world, as women are getting equal to men, it stands to reason that some of the women will make sexual advances on men. Well, if you have ever seen a harem anime, I'm sure you've seen it. This is a simple synthesis of "A human is the forger of one's own happiness" and "Women are people too". 4) But the perception bias in point 1 tends to make many people assume that point 3 means that the woman is a "whore" with no control over her sexuality. This is wrong, and can lead to all kinds of unhappiness, with rejection and rape being the most obvious. 5) Why rape? Because the rapist thinks something along the lines of: "she approached a man on her own => she's a whore => she wants to have sex with anybody anytime => she wants to have sex with me now". And then proceeds to ignore any communication of refusal from his victim. 6) Dracom said that your line of thought is subject to the same kind of bias. Just because Kanna might want to do anything sexual to Riko, does not mean it's okay for anybody else to do anything sexual to Kanna. For that matter, it does not mean it's okay to do what Kanna did - Kanna isn't meant to be a paragon of virtue, even if she isn't trying to destroy humanity at the moment. |

Ehhh I was talking about more of an epistemological side of matter, I wasn't quite clear sorry. I'm not mentally challanged despite the way I might seem. Ideas =/= real, physical world, sure! I think there's a fundamental disagreement between us on how we see things though. I see mental representations of objects as bundles of atributes that don't really amount to anything above the sum of the components. Ideas of atributes come directly from experiences, and, again, when you imaginatively rearange those atributes in your mind - fiction happens (when coming up with a minotaur you combine a human and a bull, but first you need to know what those two are). Destinctions between things thus become strictly psychological. I know it's a very simple way to look at things but I don't get complicated things. Anyways, idea of a loli seems like mostly an idea of a human child even though it's obviously still pretty far from what an avarage child usually seen as. That's why it looks very bizarre that a depiction of a 100% child doing something saxual in a lighthearted way is prohibited and a 70% one is not. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the main appeal of a loli is that she's young and innocent? If that's wrong then I'll just fuck right off forever. Didn't expect you'd actually just straightup answer me btw. Thanks @flannan Thank you for a thorough response. I kinda forgot there's this whole objefication of women thing in the west huh. I live in a stupidly cynical society. To the point so where arguing against objefication becomes quite pointless so you have to just accept this position go find workarounds |

The problem with that line of thinking is that no ideas reside in a vacuum. You have got to take into consideration the context in which the ideas are created and consumed... Which brings me to my original comment: Hidorai said: Dracom said: I'm sure you'd agree that it's "morally" wrong to kill humans right? Therefore, by your logic, we should avoid turning humans into mere targets for execution in violent video games! Civilian X was going to retire tomorrow, damn it! The objectification... The horror! . That’s dumb bad joke 0/10 This was not a joke, but a sarcastic comment that completely flew over your head. Do you honestly believe that killing people in video games is tantamount to real-life murder? |

Hidorai said: Young has nothing to do with it. It's because they're cute and small and act in in exaggeratingly cute/pure vaguely child-resembling ways that adults don't (or is strange when adults do). Hence why 300 year old loli still counts as loli. Often jokingly called "loli-baba" because they're old even though they have the cute facade.Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the main appeal of a loli is that she's young and innocent? If that's wrong then I'll just fuck right off forever. Occasionally the taboo adds an extra +1, but isn't the reason. Dracom said: I'm a writer with a lot of deep subjects, and in my field you quickly come to realize the harsh reality that humans are unimaginative, there can be no ideas without inspiration. Every idea either wholly or fragmentally originates somewhere.The problem with that line of thinking is that no ideas reside in a vacuum. You have got to take into consideration the context in which the ideas are created and consumed... Hidorai said: I know exactly what you're trying to say. You're suggesting that showing excess sexuality in media promotes additional sexuality, and excess violence in media promotes additional violence. Sorry, but they're unrelated. In USA, sex and porn are generally very taboo, yet everyone's fucking like rats, and there's sex crime everywhere. Go to Japan, where they have semi-taboo yet pretty damn open sexual media culture, and there's actually an alarming lack of sexual activity and practically nil criminal activity.No it isn't. But it also doesn't mean that warping moral canons via popular media isn't wrong. I understood your comment well enough but it seems I failed to make my point clear enough if you actually mean what you're saying here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SlipperySlopeFallacy Random example: stealing panties doesn't imply they intend to proceed to the next step and start stalking or molesting or eventually rape. Maybe the only thing on their mind was merely only the panties. From their perspective, stealing a pair of panties could be the most risqué thing they ever dare try, making anything farther beyond their imagination or too cruel to consider. Especially in Japan, there's lots of things you can think about and imagine, but never dare do, because it's just culturally inappropriate. It's a culture where even touching someone randomly is generally something you try and avoid, or stuff like that. If there's something sexually suggestive, it's supposed to be left to your imagination, not be an open invitation to proceed to the next step. Like the whole Schrödinger's Panties thing, it's just for fun and arousal entertainment between guys, it doesn't mean "oh i think she has no panties therefore i should rape because she's a slut!". Hentai play on that stuff for contextually arousing sale value, but it it's not reality. More likely, the thought is of a super sexy clumsy mistake "oh she forgot to put on panties". It's called reservation. |

You won the argument. I'm out Let me tell you about Soviet Union and its fall. Soviet Union had its dumb moments, but for a long time it seemed that it could last for a long time. Until most revolutionaries died out, and their children were left to run the place. Now, Soviet Union was never ashamed to use outright propaganda, but it also made a point of making a lot of popular media that promoted its values. If it worked, you would expect that the new generations of Soviet citizens and bureaucrats would grow up loyal to the ideology. But they were not. Hence, I am quite sure you can't really influence people all that much. You might want to read "The Master and Margarita" novel to see that all the might of Soviet propaganda machine could not change human nature all that much. |
