| I don't think it's that anime as a whole is degenerate, but that certain ones most definitely are. And because they exist, they all get lumped together. Think I'll go watch Seikon no Qwaser now. |
| All entertainment is degenerate. The only way to live is to work for 14 hours a day then pass out. |
Agreed. They're probably just a bunch of debbie downers who are too embarrassed to be a part of anime fandom and therefore bash others. makes me smh |

Nanaya-kun said: I mean, many are depressed cause they only have work and little free time, that is why they have moe which warms the heart and heals the mind after a long day at work. At least that is how I explain myself the sudden growth in the genre in the past decade. It's Creepy. It may be reassuring to those who feel that moe “love” is simply pedophilia! |
| The reason people (especially in the west) view anime as "degenerate" is because of three things: 1) They're closed-minded to cultures outside of their own, and refuse to be accepting of anything that resides beyond the realm of what they consider the norm. 2) A collective bias constitutes the masses' opinion of anime as a whole, with things like ecchi fanservice and over-the-top shounen (ie. SUPER SAIYAAAAANNNN, AHHHH!!!!!) being the first things people associate with the medium. 3) Because of number 2, people are not willing to look past the the common tropes that "define" the medium, and fail to realize that anime as a whole is no different than film or any other outlet of entertainment. The bottom line is that western entertainment contains all of the same things at its core, but because it's common and well-accepted for its good material, those things are overlooked. Rarely (if ever) do the truly special gems of the anime world reach the limelight of western popularity, and instead the medium is disregarded as an outlet for degenerates. It's just a matter of uninformed opinions. |

 "I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited." ― Jorge Luis Borges [url=]Goodreads[/url] | [url=]Letterboxd[/url] |
| I can sit here and make a whole novel explaining why people shouldn't take an ethnocentric viewpoint towards other cultures and what they enjoy, but I'd just be writing common sense. If I could rationalize it a bit, I think it's more because it's just cartoon in general. America does portray teenagers and such doing inappropriate things, like sex, illegal drugs, etc., but we all know that they're actors. We know that the actors on screen are simply adults playing teenagers; you don't have that with anime. The anime character is whatever age the creator says they are. Also, why must I always see this BS where people think Japan approves of pedophilia?! Kids have a lot of freedom there; you can go to a 7/11 and see a 6 year old alone buying dinner. You can go on a train and see a middle schooler all alone heading to an entirely different city for classes. Do you think parents would be letting their kids out like that if their society approved of preying on kids??! |

| heh. |
| Pretty much all entertainment activities are subjective except for very few which strongly compels you to enjoy like drugs, alcohol and sex. Since anime is also subjective, there will never be an overwhelming majority of sensible people calling it degenerate though such things do exist. I mean if you judge all anime based on just the sexuality shown, then what about movies like hostel, human centipede and a serbian film? Does that make movies degenerate? I dont think so. That said, it also gets tiring when pretty much every other anime tries to shove some sexuality/lewdness down the throats even in series you wouldnt expect. I guess it has something to do with the Japanese culture of not having enough sex. Dont know if its true or not but I read somewhere that the government actually makes its people take a day off for married people just to have sex and get more babies for the next generation. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| Because of fanservice, most animes are filled with bouncing tits and small girls in "weird spots". Just like that. Anime is for perverts, the waifu wars that every show has is a clear example of that. |
 |
| The normal answer is that you shouldn't care of others opinions. For me, I could not really care at all for others opinions. Even though there are series that have loli's or boob grabs, anime itself makes me happy. |

Hey, I like to joke around alot, but this time I'm being serious. It's full of what I said and it's a pretty easy thing to missunderstand if you haven't watched anime at all. Besides that the difference in culture has a lot to do with that, generally east thinks that the west are full of pervs and west think that they are the pervs. Also, I've watching anime for 20 years sooo yeah, I know what I'm pretty sure that anime is full of what I said. Even serious shows like gundam, NGE, code geass, GitS, Death Note, Pokemon, Berserk, every popular shounen and every fking show has at least some of that to some degree, in any genre at any time. |

| And what does it matter?. Then let's all be degenerate. |

"It's a fanservice show even if the show has fanservice which is negligible compared to everything that has taken place in the show." This is what you're basically saying. Also, I'm assuming by fanservice you only mean ecchi. I wouldn't even call those scenes in Code Geass and Death Note as fanservice. It's like you're ignoring everything in the show and focusing only in that part which has little to almost no presence in the show. This is rather an absurd generalization. Especially when you say most anime are filled with "bouncing tits and small girls in weird spots". And so, in every genre there's such type of show. So every anime is like that? Even you know this is stupid. Also, first you say "anime is full of..." and then you say "it's to some degree". Even if you're terribly wrong, at least stay on one thing. |

Even you know this is stupid. Also, first you say "anime is full of..." and then you say "it's to some degree". Even if you're terribly wrong, at least stay on one thing. Lets see, the phrase: "I wouldn't call those scenes..." means that is your opinion. Guess what, opinion =/= fact. The fact is that those bouncing tits are in almost every show and just the fact of having them means that everyone can make "their own opinion". So it's not weird to think that most normal people in the west (and even some in the east) would think that bouncing tits are perverted. Maybe it has some context, maybe it doesn't. But you forcing your point of view to everyones is truly a stupid thing. Besides, I named shows that goes from kids to seinen. Boucing tits are everywhere, what you think about it it's your deal. But just the fact of having them and comparing them to the cultural standards it's not hard to see why someone might think that it's just some perverted shit. Why do you need to think in such a small scale and close yourself to your own opinion? You should try to put yourself in someone's else shoes. And yeah, doing something for 20 years is something that validates your opinions and skills, that is why you need experience to get a decent job. So I'm sure that I know mire of anime than you, besides that I'm smarter by default with the kind of illogical comments that you make. Someone that doesn't even stops to try to see what the other people is seeing is hard to take seriously. |

| Anime is an okay form of degeneracy. The spook is assuming that being degenerate is a bad thing. People here should consider degeneracy more often. Alcohol and gambling are acceptable vices and I exercise them with great relish. |
Konosuba Anime is God's blessing on this wonderful world! |
| Anime definitely censors more things than the west, in the sense that they won't ever show up because they won't air you if you do. Which makes it all the more ironic when people pretend anime is 'saving' them from western 'censorship' in media. But anyway, idk about 'degeneracy', to me that's just a meme and I don't like memes so I don't pay much attention to it. Drugs, gambling and sexualizing lolis are all great human accomplishments and one day there will hopefully be a medium that combines them all into the ultimate entertainment experience :>. I guess technically doujins already exist tho. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Stop denying the fact you are degenerate. Anime IS degenerate and it's done on purpose. |

By that logic, nothing is bad and moral standards don't even exist, well Then - in that case, I'm off to have sex with my harem of 1001 underage girls, after all - degeneracy isn't bad! Stop being spooked by ethical imperatives my dude. |
| Some people can't handle sexuality so they invent stuff like degeneracy, don't watch that and don't think that! Be like us! Work! Buy christmas presents! My home village is more degenerate than a lot of so called degenerate anime, why don't they fix that? Instead they shout at us to not watch keijo because sexist. I expected a bait thread, apparently it is not. |

| Waifus, shipping, harem, ecchi, moe, various kinds of fanservice everywhere, modern anime industry prioritizing cliche and generic things over originality. Degeneration is real |

gaq_t said: "The Age of Consent in Japan is 13 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 12 or younger in Japan are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law" Hmm, I wonder where this culture of sexualizing children comes from..? Probably not from Japan, which has laws on obscenity, corruption of minors and etc. that rise the de facto age of consent to 16-18, and has also different legal systems on the matter depending on the prefecture. |
| 1. Prepare to have your thread locked by nazi mods for being too controversial 2. Anime, and Japanese culture (although it is changing/improving) is fairly degenerate. Age of consent is like 13, prostitution is rampant, women are not (although this may be different in today’s age) respected on the same level as men. Shit you even used to be able to buy USED FEMALE PANTIES from vending machines. You want to pretend it isn’t degenerate you’re kidding yourself. That being said every culture has degenerate aspects. Anime is by far some of the most edgy/sexist media out there. Pedophilism, rape and incest. Those are my biggest issues with anime (I still love anime). And if you’re trying to defend those over things like underage drinking, you need to re-evaluate your morals. Sadly they’re also very common themes, far more so than in western media (not defending western media quality, I think 80% of it is shit). But whatever, some people wanna get off to little kids and be in denial about it. Whatever floats your boat, just try and keep yourself away from any kids irl, if that applies to you. |

| "And because they exist, they all get lumped together." this ^ and They're also trying to form a reason as to why they don't watch anime. Lazy people come up with lazy answers. Since anime is generally viewed as boobs and hentai, it is more popularly referred to as a degenerate medium. Anyone willing to put in like half an hour of their life would be able to figure out that degenerate anime is only a portion of the real deal. That being said-- degenerate anime is fun as hell, and anyone not watching it is missing out! I recommend To Love Ru |
| because they have no self confidence and blame anime or certain types of anime for their problems instead of how socially awkward they are as a person |

Nanaya-kun said: Hokage_Jason said: Sexualizing Lolis is a great human achievement? You’re a sickening pedophile please remove yourself from this earth. Are you trolling right now? Looking at your fave chara you got Aisaka Taiga and Yuno Gasai who are both technically underage, granted Yuno has tits (and experience) but Taiga looks like she is 10 even if it says 18 wow. Anyway, I'm not into lolis tbh so I don't really care about that. I’ll agree I’m a little ashamed to have Yuno/TFD on my favorites because the show has some fucked scenes. Rape and 14 year old titties. Definitely no bueno, and if you read my review on it I express that it’s the shows biggest downfall. But Yuno, Tfd, Toradora, and Taiga arent on my favorites because I was wanking it to that shit. I’m a sappy romantic and I like romances with happy endings. That’s why despite being very well written, Your lie in April isn’t on my favorites list, but Kaori is. It didn’t end with the anime-ship I was hoping for, so while I like the show I was unhappy with the outcome. Also, Taiga isn’t even sexualized in Toradora nor is she in any way a Loli. She’s short and flat chested, plenty of adult females who fit that description. Ami was the only one they really fanservice, and that was pretty much her entire roll in the show, and why I hated her character. TLDR; My interests in those characters were not from a sexual standpoint. The guy I quoted however, is saying that displaying 12 year olds in an erotic/sexualized manner is a great achievement of humanity? Yeah no, that’s fucking sickening. |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |
It's a self-imposed label created by the anime community itself and is often used as a pretense to justify a disconnection from society. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
