Just been watching the news and it really is gob smacking the crap which happens sometimes in Japan!!

 

A little girl was injured in a bicycle accident and the father called an ambulance. The ambulance crew got her in the van and drove off to the hospital and the father accompanied in the ambulance. While his daughter is lying in pain and crying in the bed of the ambulance he meanwhile is leaning over taking photos up the skirt of the nurse who is helping his daughter!!!!!!! eek.gif \:o Talk about parental concern!!! He was arrested upon arrival at the hospital.

 

Japans` increasingly seedy and lude underbelly constantly stoops to new lows! wakaranai.gif wakaranai.gif

On the contrary, fq. The fact that the guy was arrested for it shows how far Japan has come in recent years. There was a time not long ago when the nurse would've just smiled politely and pretended it didn't happen. Now the guy's branded as a sex offender, seen the inside of prison, out several-hundred thousand yen, and is being bitch slapped on national tv.

 

I think that's a far better solution than censoring distasteful manga.

Tohokubum... I agree its good that there is evidence of the poliuce doing something about it but the fact that it occured is pretty sick. Japan does have more than its fair share of twisted perverts running around, and its a sub culture that encourages it. Maybe Japan has come a way in recent years but is still WAY behind other countries when it comes to this stuff....just ask any female you know if they have had the old "chikan" experiance on the train?! Would wager about 80% would say yes and that it was just something the put up with. (not that its just confined to Japan, howeevr is a lot more prevelant here).

Thats the thing that annoys me. And the fact that it annoys me than it seems to annoy the femals also annoys me.

Not sure if it's the same story but I told Tarzan about this & he said that maybe someone had misunderstood cos a few days ago there was a case of a girl in an ambulance with her mother and the policeman was taking pics up the mother's skirt. That's almost as bad though. Was this a separate case?

Yeah I agree. Maybe it isn't the sole factor, but young boys looking at extremely graphic rape and mutilation scenes in manga isn't exactly going to nurture a healthy attitude and respect towards women...

FYI, I write some of that shit!

The problem is much deeper than what people read and what they watch on TV. If there weren't preexisting societal problems, incidents like the one in the original post wouldn't happen. It isn't like "Japan's morals are f@*ked up", because I don't think that Japanese society on the whole considers acts such as these acceptable. The problem is more along the lines of pervs knowing that they will probably not be sanctioned for their acts, so there is no negative reinforcement preventing them from taking things from the fantasy level to the outright act.

Please don't judge a culture based on the indiscressions of a few individuals. Japan is no more a country of perverts than the USA or UK are countries of dope dealers and murderers.

God, you actually contribute to some of that crap? Yes, there are decent manga and there are loads of disgusting manga, if you belong to the former then good, if its the latter that sucks.

 

Obviously I dont think the country is F'ed up as Ive lived here for going on 8 years now. However, the degradation of women, in a huge number of manga read by my young students, which includes showing them being raped, tied up, underwear being ripped off, groaped, is a PROBLEM, especially when its 12,13,14 year old boys reading it and thinking its acceptable and normal.

 

Thats F'ed up.

Yikes! I didn't think there would be that much interest in a passing comment! Thanks! Such curious people...

Anyway, most of my stuff that has made it over there has been underground doujinshi (limited-run, self-published manga) sold at comikets and now probably residing in various otaku collections. It is generally "adult" stuff. I've been meaning to put some work up on the web, but thusfar have been derelict in doing so...

 

I'll let y'all know if I ever manage to crack a major contract with a legit publishing house!
