Porn in Public is a Bad Idea Morons

First off, sorry for the wait. Boring, non anime related real life stuff comes before internet rants. Sorry. Now, without any further ado, my long overdue rant on some parts of the anime community!:

___________________________________________

I’m sure all of you have gone through this some point in your lives. You tell someone that your interests include watching Anime, or reading Manga. and they turn around with a sour look on their face and say “you mean those Japanese porn cartoons?”

“How dare someone be so ignorant about my hobby? Anime isn’t like that at all!” You cry, and you’re right. Studios like Ghilbi and Gainax have been doing what Disney and the like should have been for nearly a decade now, as well as classic guff that puts these CG films to shame. But do you know who’s fault it is for spreading this stereotype? Well, there certainly isn’t some evil overly dramatic organisation out to discredit the medium, and Joe public really doesn’t care enough to bring about this negative stereotype on purpose. The real source of the problem is none other than the perverted little community itself.

 

Now, before you leave an angry comment below and close this tab, let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time, a young woman was looking around her university campus on freshers week, looking for clubs and societies to join. She goes across to the Anime society and notices they have a TV set up showing some off. Right away, she is confronted with, and I quote, a “naked pubeless woman flying through space asleep and helpless looking”

 

I imagine it looked something like this.

 

It’s a true story too. I’m not going to name them in case I discredit a hopefully good I don’t quite know how on earth they thought that showing full blown Hentai would be a good idea, but it has pushed back the progress of the industry about 15 years. It harkens back to the days when the Daily Mail discovered what Anime is, and did their best to get it all banned as Violent Tentacle porn in the early 90′s, only it’s our fault for flaunting it in public, showing the whole world what perverts we all must be.

 

Get your act together people. When presenting anime to the public, we have a responsibility to show the medium in best a manner as possible, rather than putting people off, rather than making us all look like a bunch of snivveling nerds jacking off to cartoons. We’re so much more than this, and we can do better.
