Please Impregnate Me! Or, Why So Heterosexist, Japan? |
It's categorized as Anime, Commentary.
It's tagged over nine thousand things, including: ffenril • gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay • ghostlightning • icystorm • kannagi • mellow_bunny • omo • serial • twitter. What a slut.
At least it only has 11 comments and 2,048 views.
So I’m finally watching Kannagi 09, which people have been raving about. Yeah, it was funny.
But it is also extremely heterosexist.
I don’t usually like making these kinds of assumptions (they tend to fall in the same category as Paranoia Agent’s EPIC FAIL ending of “omg people kill themselves exclusively due to paranoia”), but does anyone else think this might have something to do with Japan’s negative population growth? I remember reading some post(s) somewhere about how an unprecedented percentage of h-manga, etc. not only had ejaculation inside the birth canal, but portrayed it in a positive light in recent times, and that this might be due to national pressure to inspire more pregnancies.
If “things like that” (referring to Jin and Daitetsu being in a homo relationship) “do sometimes happen,” then that’s two fewer impregnated females, right?
Discuss.
Actually, don’t discuss. Go make babies with Japanese school girls. The world doesn’t have enough people in it.
Some highlights (highlight to read, har har):
- lololol you don’t confess to someone just because you think you fit their sexuality
- “You must let everyone know that Jin is a normal boy who likes girls”
- “I can see no reason why Jin would refuse [Zange-chan]” <--- riiiight because if you're a straight guy you'd go out with a hot girl even if you know she's a terrible person
- "OMG I NEED TO PROTECT JIN [from the misconceptions that he's homo]"
- "I need to apologize for insulting you by calling you gay"
- Jin actually caring and seeing the need to do anything about it
P.S. I’m only partially trolling. Also, the French rock.

You’re wrong. Japan doesn’t have too many people in it. Our country is fucking overpopulated.

Michael, Michael, Michael. You fucking fail hard. Where did I say Japan was overpopulated?
lolikitsune — 12/2/08 @ 4:18 pm | #Link
I think you are right and I read this too. They also are increasing the population that can come to Japan and live by 10% last time I heard.

Gay marriages FTW. I’m a staunt supporter, because there are homo couples who want babies right? So females still get impregnated and bear adopted children.
Want the bigger reason Japan’s population is decreasing? 2D-loving otaku. That is why “making babies with Japanese schoolgirls” must be made legal. I call this the OLPL project. One Lover Per Lolicon.

I didn’t find Kannagi 9 particularly homophobic. In fact, although it was played for laughs, the idea of a relationship between guys wasn’t made to seem that icky.
Japanese underpopulation? Maybe because Japanese husbands still treat their wives so demeaningly, and women are too well educated to stand for it, so more of them are staying unmarried. Maybe because people work so hard that they don’t have energy for sex. And maybe because it’s a nation of consumerist yuppies, who want to keep their money for themselves, not spend it on kids. Those are three possibilities, anyway.
Anyway, Japan better get those robots going fast, or it will have to actually let foreigners immigrate. Lol. No way.

I didn’t say homophobic, hashihime, I said heterosexist. There’s a slight but important difference.
But it was made to seem otherworldly, unheard of, something you don’t normally talk about, something to be turned into the center of attention, etc. Like I said they made Daitetsu a walking freak show. Maybe they didn’t portray it as something “icky” but they did make it seem unnatural and undesirable (“if you’re gay, everyone will treat you differently, etc.”).

i need to watch the show…

Choosing your sexual orientation isn’t like choosing a hobby. If you’re gay, everyone *will* treat you differently.

Being a Bi-Boy. Who’s one of those who’s desire’s are right down the middle. Thing’s can be damned hard. It’s one thing if you slant one way or the other which many do. But, for me it can be a lot more difficult. “lolikitsune” has made a very good point!! I have no idea how my out of town cousin’s, whom I really was wishing to get to know better will react now that the cat’s out of the bag……………..Anyway, someone here who is a talented artist with a DeviantArt or Pencils.com account. Do me a favour pleassssse! A polite little Yaoi Fetish of mine………. I’d love to see the completely human – black haired Inuyasha sporting Mid- 1990’s fashion at its’ best and most sexy. Him wearing a pair of the dark blue “Adult Size “Osh Kosh B’ Kosh” Overalls ( which sadly aren’t made anymore ), red t-shirt underneath, tan work boots, and a Jansport Backpack. He should have his usual half arrogant smile on his face…..Take care for now!
