I have my limits in regards to what I personally watch, but i don't think there's any anime whose sexual ideas should be banned or stopped. there's just some fetishes out there that aren't for me.

I don't really believe in that term. Try using 'tasteless' instead?

I don't like hentai and I don't like extremely ecchi stuff. I don't like incest either; if they are not related by blood, it's fine and cousins are also fine.

Glorified rape and/or pedophilia. Yes, even including the "bUt ShE's AcTuAlLy FiVe MiLlIoN yEaRs OlD" variety.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

With Violence I draw the line at graphic torture or hurting children.

With porn and sexual content I don't like loli/shouta content, scat, tentacles, futanari, S&M,and any form of non-consensual sex like rape or blackmail, NTR, etc.

I like my degenerate, trash series. I would refer to them as guilty pleasure anime. But I don't feel guilty about liking them at all.

Anime with excessive fanservice, comedy and harem tropes are the ingredients. A line huh, can't really say anything bad, exept that repetition is a problem at times. So worst thing possible is them becoming boring.

Shota is male equivalent to loli. However for some reason some extremist would call any girl below 18 "loli", but they won't do the same for shota, so it's like boy from primary/elementary school?



I don't watch shota really because not my thing, but for example something like him, from Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon

https://myanimelist.net/character/136735/Shouta_Magatsuchi

It's type of person which priests like the most, small altar boys.

Or this whole anime

https://myanimelist.net/anime/36817/Sunohara-sou_no_Kanrinin-san

You know, big tittied oneesans grope all over prepubescent boys. Which is not good, because he is not capable of impregnating them, so biology says big no-no to it.

I see. Well here is my take - a lot of anime characters appear older than they are (no surprise). So if the loli or shota looks old enough (including face) then I am fine with it (going by the U.K. legal age of consent which is 16).

For example - my new Waifu, Nanael looks about 17 to me but I didn’t actually see her age on any wiki I looked at or even on my Waifu list website.

I have seen hentai of prepubescent boys with grown women and to me it is crossing the line.

That said, I speak for myself. If anything that I feel crosses the line doesn’t for others then have at it. And if it helps people who may actually become pedophiles in real life get their victimless fix then all the better.

Not saying that everyone who likes loli / shota is a potential pedophile but you guys can’t really get mad when people who don’t understand your interest in this sort of thing make that comparison.


What makes her 17 in your eyes? What are the characteristics, that say about her that she is 17 and not 15 or 23?

Also with monsters, there is a line that when crossed, I just start wondering what drugs the creators were on, for example I saw a cover with a monster that was nothing more than a walking dick and vagina. There's eldritch and then there's "this is a depiction of something I saw when on (insert drugs here)".

Please explain to me, how in the world you can differentiate between anime faced, when they all flat, lack features and are very unrealistically drawn? I mean I can understand your thinking about their behavior and character, but please, anime isn't drawn that detailed you can tell age by faces.

If you really, really can find these characteristics of 20 year old, but not 15 year old in her face, then I'm gonna congratulate you, because it's something to be proud of, that you can tell that from drawing like that.



Sure she looks like she's already legally allowed to drink and smoke in Japan!

155 cm do you Mean Holo or Megumin? Because Megumin is also around that height. And I know that's normal height. I had classmate in highschool which was sized exactly like that and was also flat like them. Nothing changed even after graduation, still short, still flat, still very Megumin sized.

However Holo is wolf from Europe and Megumin is wizard from fantasy world, Japanese height standards don't apply.


I meant myself? I stated it clearly.

I'm also 1.55 tall


Because kids faces are drawn rounder etc., there is no way you couldn't see that.


Bullshit. Not in example I showed. Both of them have almost identical, semi-sharp drawn face. You just projecting your prejudge on drawing which lack features to make that distinction. Unless it's get's really visible character's faces look all almost the same.

Another example, if you gonna tell me, that you can tell ages of these characters from their faces (and not their clothes), which are all the same and lack any features besides eyes, then you are delusional.

I guess I can handle everything, but once it crosses the degeneracy line it just wouldn't interest me anymore


Common degenerate things like incest, sexualized lolis, hardcore hentai (I never watched a hentai though), glorified/poorly handled rape (if it's well written and adds something to the story like in Perfect Blue, it's ok) or over the top ecchi
These tropes usually come from bad anime, so there are really high chances I'll never encounter them. Same goes for any sexual content. Doesn't shock me but it absolutely doesn't interest me either
I've already tried to watch/read some yaoi too but the scenario and the characters were just way too ridiculous I couldn't take them seriously


I don't mind controversial stuff like violence (against children or animals) however

Shoujo-Ai and Shounen-Ai and the related are fine, and while I dislike Harem and Ecchi series, I wouldn't normally consider that crossing the line into 'degeneracy' unless it was fairly explicit. What is definitely crossing the line for me is any Adult-Child relationship or grooming fantasies like Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop).

I'm also a bit hesitant with most R+ rated series (Mild Nudity), and usually stay away from those unless it's not the focus of the show, like with Future Diary and Ghost in the Shell.

I'll definitely stay away from anything Rx rated. That's pure degeneracy right there, lol.

Honestly, it’s just a guess. I am a guy who has approached several girls in public to ask them for their number since I was about 14. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve guessed their age wrong. We all come in different shapes and sizes and females in other countries like Jamaica and America look so much older then they are to me. And the Japanese woman I dated when I was 22 looked around my age but she was actually pushing 30.

Example right here:



We’re both 18 in this video recorded back in 2006 in Jamaica.
I spent four days there and met three girls. This is the one that I slept with.

Sure I believe you have good guess rate when it come to real people which have real face with real features but just as you said, "It's just a guess" when it come to flat anime faces. For me she don't look 17, for me she looks between 14 and 25 because anime logic. Sure she isn't toddler or prepubescent, because that's obvious from her height and proportions head-body, but to say her specific age (by that I mean, how old her body would be if she was representation of real human) it's not possible. I guess making her flat would make you say, she looks 13 for example, because obviously there is no real 17 year old, who don't have genes for boobs.

About video, you look like nice people there, however dear kamisama, that video quality...

Well, I do find the word degenerate really funny lol.

I'm actually very vanilla though, something that seems to surprise a lot of people for some reason. I don't have any fetishes really. As far as where I draw the line, I won't watch S&M scenes and I won't watch anything relating to scat or vomit (never seen it in anime or hentai anyway). I don't have much experience with the really weird types of hentais though so I don't even know what some of these terms mean.

Camera phones were shitty back then. I have a really bad guess rate irl actually. Sometimes the girl was actually way too young but just developed early. And there totally are women who never grew breasts. Totally flat for life. They wear T-shirts instead of bras the poor things. Can still be hot though because one body part isn’t everything.

Usually they also hate sexualized Shotas when they say that they hate sexualized Lolis.

And I don't like it either as well and is the only Line I am willing to draw the line.
Other things I am not a fan of are glorified Sexual assault, netorare and incest.

However, such things can still have a reason to be there in a story. What if it is about a victim of a pedofile for example.

But then the question becomes, how can you depict them without glorifying them?
Ofcourse there is also comedy where the perv gets smacked on the face as well, but some ppl don't get the joke and think that the pervy act is the joke instead of him getting his cumupins.
It all depends on framing in the end.

But for the rest, I say GO ALL OUT!

Am I the only one who brought up Netorare here?


Okay, sure. You say "victim of a pedophile", so you consider "loli" to be someone under 12?

Maneki-Mew said:

Of course I don't like Shouta. Did you really expect that now? The term is just not used that often.
I mean characters that are actual kids and some under 16 with a partner much older than them, characters that look like they are 10 and their age is an excuse (there was a terrible Boys Love anime, where the 16yo boy looked and acted like he's 12) and characters that act way younger than their actual age.


???
I googled that term. Guess I don't need to cook for lunch now haha


I didn't expect that, just was wondering.

About your definition... Well I can't call it definition. Would it mean that 15 yo in story where she is in love with her teacher would classify as loli, but if she was having sex with her classmate, then not loli...? You can say you don't like age gap, sure, but determining which character is loli/shota based on her/his relationships is stupid. By your definition Holo would be loli as she is looking 14-16-ish and story involves 20 year old male, that's correct?

Well age makes the thing more complicated.
A Loli to me is a girl who looks like a 12 year old or younger and is in someway sexualized.
Holo on the other hand looks more like a teenager because she has some curves and has a slender figure.

Age gap doesn't really matter to me though when it comes to classifying wether one is a loli or not.
Kana from dragonmaid is somehow considered as a loli by others while the one who seems to be crushing on her is a classmate of hers.

Given that HenSemi is between my favorite and rated 10 in my list, I don't really have problem with degenerate stuff. What actually matters it's the execution, if it's well done anything goes.

For hentais it's different, I want my hentai to be as much degenerate as possible, also lolis make any other tag better. Even vanilla becomes bearable with lolis in it.

It depends on if it was portrayed as something horrible or not?

That too. More so the exploitation of mental illnesses or mental health issues as something cool or deep. Stuff from recent years like Magical Girl Site and others did that a lot. They felt like they were written from one of those emo teenagers, who were sad on a very superficial level, because... of course, the sadder you are, the deeper your personality is lol
Really now, fiction created a lot of stereotypes and simplified pictures of mentally ill people and mental health problems.

On the opposite, I really appreciate, if character's issues are not taken lightly and taken serious, and if they are not written from a pseudo-depressed emo kid.

Kana from dragonmaid is somehow considered as a loli by others while the one who seems to be crushing on her is a classmate of hers.


And I would agree with you, the same as definition from Danbooru

"This tag is for sexually explicit or sexually suggestive art work of girls who appear to be young or preadolescent (roughly between age 7 and 12). Please note the character's canonical age doesn't matter."

I would also call this characters without any sexual undertones if talking about anime, not fanart explicit fanart.

For example, I would say, that girl from this anime is loli, but nowhere in anime she is showed in any sexual situations. But she is obviously prepubescent and very short, not petite sized girl, which in anime can be slapped with any age, because you can't tell because there is not distinct features on face. If you look at real people they face ages. I anime not really, unless you have someone who is 40 or 60, then it's visible, because then they give them older face. Younger males often get beard to show that they aren't teenarges. (Does nobody in Japan have facial hair until 30? I sure did in high school)

I mean if anyone who don't know their ages, is able to tell how old these characters are from picture like this, then I have nothing but admiration of their superhuman abilities. I would guess, that most people would say, that Yunyun is older, because she has big knockers. And no, Megumin don't look prepubescent, she is flat like board of course (<3) but rest of body isn't not developed.



And of course what's happens to character don't make any difference. If 10 year old is going to school, like normal 10 year old, then you call it wholesome loli. If 10 year old is making out with other 10 year old, then you call it Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya

The very idea of degeneracy is a carry-over from old religious beliefs invented to shame and control people. Though religion just did it first. All forms of extremism look to control people through shame, but sex always gets targetted. Doesn't matter if it's the left or the right, facism or communism, religion or secular spirituality. There's always that little judgmental bit about x, y, or z sexual thing .

Of course definitions vary, but the notion of "degeneracy" as some sort of immoral or somehow "wrong" preference in art is ignorant, judgmental and indicative of a lack of open-mindedness and imagination.

Of course, people using it as merely a descriptor for extreme / tabboo art, without the personal moral judgment... that's whatever. Though I think it's unhelpful because it muddies the issue.

But don't take any of this personally if you use the word. I'm merely criticizing what I perceive to be the attitude behind the word on a general social scale.

I hope sometime in the future society will evolve past all its sexual hang-ups and erotic content will be viewed the same as scary content, sad content, inspiring content etc. And the art of storytelling will be enriched by being able to include one of the most intimate acts two humans can engage in as just another flavor to the story.

EDIT: I guess I'll answer the OP's question lol. I have no boundaries. One of my favourite hentai artists is as109 (go to duckduckgo, search the name with safesearch off, but don't say I didn't warn you lol). But I like loving vanilla stuff too. My favourite animated hentai is a the yuri short "Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi" which is about as loving and tender as you can get. My point being that, while I have no boundaries for extreme content, I don't limit myself to that stuff.

No yaoi. Sickening...
Yuri is hot as fuck though.

I don't even like yaoi but the hypocrisy in this post is strong. Either both are okay or both are disgusting, don't and choose.

Thought the same.

The very idea of degeneracy is a carry-over from old religious beliefs invented to shame and control people. Though religion just did it first. All forms of extremism look to control people through shame, but sex always gets targetted. Doesn't matter if it's the left or the right, facism or communism, religion or secular spirituality. There's always that little judgmental bit about x, y, or z sexual thing .

Of course definitions vary, but the notion of "degeneracy" as some sort of immoral or somehow "wrong" preference in art is ignorant, judgmental and indicative of a lack of open-mindedness and imagination.

Of course, people using it as merely a descriptor for extreme / tabboo art, without the personal moral judgment... that's whatever. Though I think it's unhelpful because it muddies the issue.

But don't take any of this personally if you use the word. I'm merely criticizing what I perceive to be the attitude behind the word on a general social scale.

I hope sometime in the future society will evolve past all its sexual hang-ups and erotic content will be viewed the same as scary content, sad content, inspiring content etc. And the art of storytelling will be enriched by being able to include one of the most intimate acts two humans can engage in as just another flavor to the story.

EDIT: I guess I'll answer the OP's question lol. I have no boundaries. One of my favourite hentai artists is as109 (go to duckduckgo, search the name with safesearch off, but don't say I didn't warn you lol). But I like loving vanilla stuff too. My favourite animated hentai is a the yuri short "Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi" which is about as loving and tender as you can get. My point being that, while I have no boundaries for extreme content, I don't limit myself to that stuff.

Yes, I agree. Although as @kandi_gloss said it became more and more a nazi-term to describe all kind of people: people protesting against the system, addicts, unemployed, mentally ill, bi/homosexual or transgender people ... although many people don't know that anymore or don't think about that, but the term itself is still quite cringey.

As long as nobody is harmed (of course not against their will ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), some stuff might be very weird, but isn't degenerated. Acts that harm people, and other beings that couldn't give consent, are more immoral than degenerated.
Fictional erotic content of course is something else. I think people, who watch hentai with forced sex, think of it as a "roleplay", and ofc I don't think most of these people will rape anyone in real or anything because of that.
Still, I can't understand that and some other stuff and find it kinda "wrong" to watch it. I automatically nope out, if some erotic scenes, that clearly don't have consent, are portrayed as sexy.

And of course what's happens to character don't make any difference. If 10 year old is going to school, like normal 10 year old, then you call it wholesome loli. If 10 year old is making out with other 10 year old, then you call it Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya

If there is nothing sexual about it, it's not really a loli or shouta, it's thankfully just a normal child character.
Btw although I love Made in Abyss, there were a few scenes creeping me. And I don't mean the medical scenes.
Just because you really like one thing, you aren't okay with everything about it.

I draw the line when it comes to rape in a romanticized sense. And incest in anime is a big turn off for me too. Im sick of the "little sister" shit. even psuedo-incest grosses me out.

My biggest one is probably when anime shows portray very young girls or 'loli' characters in a sexual or suggestive scenario and other softcore pedophilia shit. its nasty.

I'm not an SJW, so I don't have a problem with lolis. I'd say the only things I actively avoid are scat and eroguro.

I have absolutely no limit. Artistic freedom al the way without any limits. mind break / loli / ub / ntr / rinkan variations. Its all good. I wish more studios would do more daring adaptations. For example a anime adaption for emergence or even 215600 would be nice.
