| Anime porn is taking over the internet and the current pop culture. It already dominated Japan, which is the creator of such phenomenon, where today it seems unbelievable to walk on the streets and see the amount of references to anime porn. Some specialists are alarmed that the country with one of the world’s highest literacy rates became so fascinated and obsessed by anime porn and cartoons in general. At everywhere we look, there are people, men and women, old or young (surprisingly young) reading some pornographic comic book.
When it comes to anime porn per se, television channels are also dominated. The only US channel you find on cable TV besides the obvious CNN and CNBC it’s the Cartoon Network. It is also unbelievable the number of stores selling anime porn DVD we may find everywhere. Although becoming more and more popular among porn enthusiasts around the world, for an average viewer, most anime porn videos may seem peculiar, not to say uncanny. Fantastic creatures and monsters having sex with unbelievable skinny and alarmingly young-looking schoolgirls, laws of physics suspended, superpowers and even human anatomy completely modified.
It is known that in Japanese culture it’s common to depict in cartoons behaviors that would be unsuitable in real life, the real taboos of Japanese sexuality. But what would happen if the rest of the world starts to import such taboo-breaking and decided to take it too seriously? In anime porn, it is common ground to see non consensual sex, or even rape. Schoolgirls are raped by teachers on cartoons as something completely normal, while subjected to sodomy, scatology and other extreme sexual practices. In addition, men depicted in anime porn seem to be always calm and obtaining less or no pleasure with the act at all. Maybe ok for a culture to exorcise their taboos (despite being somewhat scary), but what would happen with our easily influenced kids watching such entertainment on a daily basis? |
