@ Panty Vending machines - Probably stemmed from the "convenience culture" in Japan, it's just convenient sex toys and stuff. Japan is full of vending machines, I'm not surprised they have this feature. Those who bash on these things, you just aren't thinking of Japan's culture as a whole. You do pinpoint a certain thing that you believe ought to be criticised, and rightfully so. But do take into account the whole culture. | ||

Here's a rather in-depth analysis, especially about the claim that "According to a government survey, more than a quarter of men and women between the ages of 30 and 34 are virgins; 50 percent of men and women in Japan do not have friends of the opposite sex." "It turns out that the real statistic from population institute states that around 25% of unmarried 30-34 year olds are virgins. It doesn’t say anything about the population as a whole. Note that a separate survey finds that around two thirds of men and women have lost their virginity by the time they are in university [...]" | ||

The case study in the article had a dakimakura with a 12 year old character on it, but people have probably fallen in "love" with older characters. However judging from pictures like this (no nudity, but young anime girls in risque clothing), I'd say that younger characters are probably more popular. EDIT: I'm pretty sure that the Times got the section about moe wrong, but I can't be certain because I'm not entirely sure what moe is. rofl @ the jun watarase one | ||

If this is in fact the case that is beyond horrendous reporting by the NYT to totally misrepresent the actual findings like that. | ||

NY Times is hardly above using sensationalism to sell a story, especially in these days when newspapers just aren't selling anymore. That said, while the story may be exaggerated to attract readers, it's no secret that the Japanese aren't exactly the most normal people around. And there are a lot of problems in the Japanese society today. As someone who likes to play JRPGs, watch animes, and read light novels, I find myself kind of on the bordliner of the Japanese otoku culture. It's really incredibly wide-spread. And it can get really hardcore. Yet there are tons of stuff that I won't touch with a 10 foot pole. | ||

I would love to hear what your idea of a "normal" person is. On August 06 2009 01:14 baubo wrote: And there are a lot of problems in the Japanese society today. Name a society without "a lot" of problems. | ||
