@9QUxjWYZTS54320@AnshoriArd45230@E2LaCaf Instead of addressing my point, you're resorting to insults and assumptions. Whether it's popular in Japan or not doesn't change its Japanese origins as a subculture. You still haven't disproven my point that lolicon developed as a Japanese genre. As I said, I'm done.
@JirouOsakabe@comcomjcps@AutsOtter I’m done. You keep expanding a narrow topic into other issues and I’m not interested in chasing every new direction. We disagree. Conversation’s over.
@9QUxjWYZTS54320@AnshoriArd45230@E2LaCaf Lolicon derives from Lolita complex, but its origins aren't the same as the Japanese manga and anime subculture that developed around it. I'm done going back and forth when you've made it clear you’re only interested in winning even if you’re wrong.
@9QUxjWYZTS54320@AnshoriArd45230@E2LaCaf I never said all Japanese people are lolicons but lolicon did come from Japan and what you’re saying abt statistics is just off topic you’re deflecting from the fact you were wrong and misunderstanding me on purpose
@JirouOsakabe@comcomjcps@AutsOtter Dreads have a deep history of showing African resistance to oppression, spiritual strength and belief in God. To most Japanese people wearing dreads they don’t see their culture they see fashion watering it down to aesthetics that is why it’s considered offensive
@JirouOsakabe@comcomjcps@AutsOtter I agree Japanese people aren’t trying to be other races but Japanese people wearing dreads isn’t controversial because they’re “trying to be black” they wear it for fashion + trends, dreads are a culturally significant hairstyle It waters down the meaning + the culture behind it.
@JirouOsakabe@comcomjcps@AutsOtter Yes I agree it’s a completely stupid thing to think but people still do because it’s misconception from the west most likely because of cultural differences
@comcomjcps@AutsOtter Also because double eyelid surgery was popularised by a Us soldier in Korea operating on Korean’s marrying US soldiers it became widely assumed it was popularised to make asians look more western though it had been the beauty standard before (Dr. Kotaro Mikamo 1896)
@comcomjcps@AutsOtter in the west and now it’s found its way online to people living in Japan with no knowledge of the history or anything really to do with this behaviour in the west
@JirouOsakabe@comcomjcps@AutsOtter I know people aren’t actually black & white that’s just how they’re referred to where I am + it’s less words to write with X’s word limit. I know the history behind pale skin’s appeal in Japan there’s nothing wrong with Japanese people wanting to be pale I never said that.
@comcomjcps@AutsOtter And for what you’ve said about “Japanese wanting to be black” that’s because as you said many Japanese people don’t understand how black people take and consider them wearing dreads and such
@comcomjcps@AutsOtter “Asian people want to be white” comes from the West’s perception of how plastic surgery in Asia (as a whole). To foreigners the beauty standard looks as if it’s to make Asian features look “whiter” for example surgery for double eyelids, higher nose bridges, and slimmer jaws
@comcomjcps@AutsOtter Could you be clearer on what you’re trying to imply? Implications and innuendos don’t come out clear through translation. Are you trying to say black people call out and educate white people and not Japanese people?
