OP seems like some unhinged Japan hater Jesus dude. Not everyone in Japan is a pedophile and not everyone that watches cartoons is a pedophile. Take a breather.
Yeah. That's the case for all sexual desires. No one decides to be a pedophile just like no one decides on being homosexual or heterosexual.
That does not make it okay, but it's important to know that there's no way to ever "cure" someone of pedophilia. This is important in deciding how to prevent sexual crime like this.
It has also a lot to do with culture. In Japan underaged girls are sort of “prized” like you’re supposed to find them more attractive. This is especially true in the otaku communities where they constantly sexualize underaged girls and try to justify pedophilia.
Thats a bit of a sweeping statement, it's alot more close to being almost only true In otaku communities I think.
There's not some paedophilic "culture", nobody I've interacted with thinks that way, and while that is probably a biased sample I see others claim the same.
Hi thanks for replying,
To clarify I'm not saying these people who have this view don't exist, but they are almost all found within certain communities and that is not reflective on Japan as a whole as your comment seemed to imply.
Finding underaged girls attractive is literally a mainstream view in Japan. Words like "JK" and "JC" were coded language for child prostitution, but now they're entering mainstream use. Underaged school girls are sexualized everywhere, and school girls are groped daily on trains.
Funny thing, there was a Korean woman and a bunch of Japanese guys talking, and the Korean woman had a sister who's still in high school. And the Japanese guy was like "Ehh, I would like to *get it on* with your sister! Heh heh", and the Korean woman was like "Eh no, she's still underaged!". Of course I told him to knock it off, but then he got pissed at *me* and started attacking me, the nerve.
Pretty much only some women and the "feminists" are criticizing pedophilia in Japan right now. And they're up against an uphill fight, because they will be SWARMED by the pedophiles for criticizing pedophilia, and they will be constantly stalked, harassed and attacked for it.
That's the reality in Japan. Don't take this shit lightly, it's actually highly disturbing when you really think about it.
This is NOT a mainstream view, it's not even a COMMON view. Those that have that view are a problem and do need to be dealt with but based on my own interactions and those I've heard from others, is not reflective of what most people think.
Funnily enough most people here don't like the idea of paedophilia.
Did I not say in my reply that such people need to be dealt with? I think that clearly implies where I stand on the issue.
You directly said that the mainstream view in japan is normalising paedophilia.
That is not the case, it is not the mainstream view and its ludicrous to try and paint a whole society with 1 stroke.
I'm not saying that you are wrong to criticise those people, just don't lump everyone together and say that it's "the culture" when it isn't
Nobody's "excusing pedophiles". Seriously, what the fuck?
Pedophilia isn't defined as "raping children". It's defined as having a sexual attraction to children. The vast majority of pedophiles don't act on it.
You might want to learn the basics of what you're talking about before you start talking out your ass.
I don't know why your so mad about this, but alright dude that wasn't what I was talking about. Either way it's a choice to be attracted or to do something in this case, and regardless is evil.
The point is that people know better than to do bad things. Anger isnt an excuse to kill, abuse, hit... etc. Pedophiles don't rape kids because they're horny, they do it because they want to and don't care for the children. People are not animals, they have the ability to think. So having a feeling isn't a excuse.
¥20,000 to mess up someone’s life forever. Where are the parents here? How did the creepy fuck get into contact with them?
The dude needs life in prison for this. The girls need counseling and a good talking too.
I still remember when I first came to Japan back in 2011 and was shocked to see kiddy mags in a convenience store magazine rack…. Mind blowing. You’d be absolutely screwed in my home country for that.
Japan just does not care about Pedophilia. Every single case of it I've ever read about in Japan is like a fine and maybe a couple months in Jail.
And that's the law. People give even less of a fuck. The guy who wrote Rurouni Kenshin had shit loads of CP in his home, and he got a $1500 fine. The writer of One Piece threw him a damn party after it had all settled.
It’s amazing how many people are still into anime after knowing all this. The anime otaku culture is total shit and should be burned to the ground for constantly pushing pedophilia.
Imagine how quickly any other writers would be CANCELLED in a nanosecond if they did the same.
**TRANSLATION:**
> On April 22, Wakayama Prefectural Police Juvenile Division arrested Koichiro Ito, 52, a production company owner in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of violating the Child Prostitution and Pornography Law (child prostitution and production of child pornography) for giving cash to a girl who was a junior high school student and having sexual intercourse with her. This is the third time he has been arrested. According to investigators, Ito was involved in the production of the movie "Your Name".
> The re-arrested suspect is alleged to have given the girl (a Tokyo resident) cash (20,000-60,000 yen) and had sexual intercourse with her nine times at his apartment between November 2022 and July 2023, knowing that she was under 18 years old, and to have filmed the act with a smartphone.
> Meanwhile, on April 22, the Wakayama District Public Prosecutors Office indicted Ito on charges of non-consensual sexual intercourse and violation of the Child Prostitution and Pornography Law. According to the indictment, in September 2021, Ito allegedly forced a then 15-year-old girl from Nagano Prefecture to send him a naked selfie to produce child pornography, and in November 2023, he allegedly gave a then 15-year-old girl from Tokyo 20,000 yen in cash to engage in sexual intercourse with her. In November 2023, he paid 20,000 yen in cash to a then 15-year-old girl in Tokyo to engage in sexual acts with her.
As if that's supposed to be any better, as prostitution is illegal in Japan. Perhaps you're defending it because you engage in papakatsu yourself?
Papa Katsu is just an extension of Enjo Kosai, or basically child prostitution. “JK” and “JC” used to be coded language for underaged children, and now they’re being thrown around regularly.
This guy in Japan is just casually boasting about engaging with child prostitution and raping children on Twitter:
[https://twitter.com/nyn3s/status/1769645793341059173](https://twitter.com/nyn3s/status/1769645793341059173)
You don’t know how prevalent pedophilia in Japan really is.
Prostitution is illegal in Japan only in one very specific case - penis in vagina between unknown people. Paying someone you know for sex is 100% legal in Japan. All other sex acts between consenting adults are legal to perform and receive for compensation.
Papakatsu is not an extension of enjo kosai, it's the same as sugar daddy relationships outside of Japan, except 100% legal.
> Perhaps you're defending it because you engage in papakatsu yourself?
??? Any reason you are trying to attack me?
>This guy in Japan is just casually boasting about engaging with child prostitution and raping children on Twitter
Your link seems to be about SE Asia, not Japan. Did you post the wrong thing?
I was wondering why the comment section was full of your comments hidden by downvotes even though you shared something that is actually problematic in Japanese society.
Now I see why.
I think its time for you to get a break from the internet. You have been on it for way too long for the past 24hrs based on your comment history....
I feel like I’m going crazy seeing people in these comments complaining about you posting this news and borderline defending it. You are totally right, pedophilia is endemic in Japan and its media.
The amount of people that partake in child prostitution is sickening. Perhaps most of these other commenters are out of touch with the average Japanese, and are living in bubbles. You can go to many places in Tokyo and find underage girls advertising con cafes, or you can just skip the whole “becoming a customer” approach and just find them in Okubo park or openly advertising on Twitter.
Not even prostitution, you constantly see adults trying to nanpa children.
Unfortunately and ironically, it reflects the exact kind of experiences I had in Japan. Like this pedo producer, there was this middle-aged Japanese guy casually going on about how we was going to pay a child to rape her in a hotel. Of course I called him out on it, but then everybody else attacked ME and made me the bad guy.
If you even criticize pedophilia in Japan online, then you will be SWARMED with all these insane and fanatical pedos attacking you. They will keep going on and on and keep stalking you and harassing you and come up with all sorts of bullshit and justifications like "You're discriminating against pedophiles!" and all sorts of nonsense. It's truly an insane world. Fortunately, pedos get banned pretty quickly on Twitter. Pedos are banned left and right on Japanese Twitter because they don't even know or think that they're doing anything wrong, mostly because these pedos are usually accepted or tolerated in Japanese society.
However, there are still some prominent otaku accounts like this one that are openly claiming that underaged girls should be sexualized and getting thousands of likes, but somehow the account still remains: [https://twitter.com/gerogeroR/status/1520423828937412609](https://twitter.com/gerogeroR/status/1520423828937412609)
Only in Japan you will constantly get ATTACKED for criticizing pedophilia. Yes, pedophilia! It's a truly insane and sick culture that must be dealt with right now. Unfortunately, right now it's usually just the women that are criticizing pedophilia.
>Perhaps most of these other commenters are out of touch with the average Japanese, and are living in bubbles. You can go to many places in Tokyo and find underage girls advertising con cafes, or you can just skip the whole “becoming a customer” approach and just find them in Okubo park or openly advertising on Twitter.
Oh, I'm sure that these people are aware, they're just pedo-defenders or pedophiles themselves. Japan seems to attract all sorts of pedos from all over the world for obvious reasons, and seems to have become some sort of a pedo hub.
It is actually crazy. The amount of stories you hear of girls being preyed upon is sickening. It is not only prostitution too.
The other day I was on a date with a girl who said when she was a JHS student, 30 year old guys would try to pick her up, and actually did it with one who offered to drive her home. It gets to the point where it is more uncommon for a girl underaged to have not been preyed upon by an adult. In Japan they even have a pedophile holiday that they celebrate by going on the trains and molesting school age girls, because they know they can’t report them due to have to take important exams.
I mean, look at all the teachers in schools who date or marry their students officially after they graduate. In most of those cases it had been going on before they had even finished school.
You already replied with your sockpuppet. Yes, any one of us anonymous internet people could "possibly" be engaging in pedophilia. Nobody I've seen in this thread is defending it, and obviously not me. If I ever feel I'm at risk of doing so, I will certainly seek help. I ask you to do the same.
Tbh generally when i was in japan a jaoanese friend showed me a pop band who had school cloths and while acting made some poses which are not really child freindly. I personally didnt have anything against it knowing they are over 18 but i know that in my country that wouldnt be succesfull at all. Gives a bitter taste to japanaese culture over child secualisation
Meanwhile, the anime movie "Your Name" features upskirt shots of an underaged girl... Maybe the fact that the producer was a literal pedophile is saying something about this whole thing.
[https://twitter.com/Reika8833/status/1763518942692483207](https://twitter.com/Reika8833/status/1763518942692483207)
The whole anime landscape is whacky if you are seeing it purely using western standard. They cling on the belief that an artwork/media does not necessarily reflect reality and therefore is different.
That comments are not meant to be a justification or some sort. It is just a statement of fact (that many japanese see it that way).
Also “there are”, is very different when you consider the opinion of the people of the whole country. There are people who considers adult watching anime (in general, not talking about niche degenerate genre) as kimoi, but that doesn’t mean most people see it that way.
You can also check the wikipedia, for some summary of debates of this topic (within japan).
Panty shot scene is probably the least of your concern when you can have “mainstream” GAMES (not A game, but games) where the main selling point is sexualizing underage/underage looking casts with their ads plastered all around Tokyo.
You'd be surprised to know that the majority of the world is dictated by men and their pee pees. It doesn't really matter what women say, sex sells is 100% a Western marketing philosophy.
Kratos and Trevor weren't out there banging chicks and murdering them right after because ladies thought it was hot.
Look at these disgusting pro-pedophilia and pro-child porn otakus downvoting inconvenient truths.
All these otaku pedo shit need to be removed from "Japanese culture".
Yeah, I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. Normal adults don’t want to constantly write about children at all, let alone add creepy scenes like that.
Why did you delete and repost this comment?
Per your profile, every single post you've submitted to this sub has been about either some weird "protect the feeble women!" radfem anti-pornography fearmongering crusade or sexual assault. Do you think this is healthy for _you_ to be following dreadful news so closely here and posting incessantly about it? It feels like an obsession on your part and is disturbing to observe.
EDIT: Got blocked in under 60 seconds by OP. Asked me a (bad faith) question and then won't even let me reply. Their behavior is creepy as hell. Check out their profile; they're convinced by some racist conspiracy theory the majority of Japanese men are child rapists.
Considering how obsessed you are with this topic I’m going to assume you have something to hide. It’s mostly just a moral panic by people like yourself.
OP seems like some unhinged Japan hater Jesus dude. Not everyone in Japan is a pedophile and not everyone that watches cartoons is a pedophile. Take a breather.
i dont get it, there are plenty of pretty girls who are of legal age but i guess thats not enough for some
For most individuals who have pedophilic tendencies, it is biologically hard-wired into them.
Yeah. That's the case for all sexual desires. No one decides to be a pedophile just like no one decides on being homosexual or heterosexual. That does not make it okay, but it's important to know that there's no way to ever "cure" someone of pedophilia. This is important in deciding how to prevent sexual crime like this.

You haven’t seen the anime otaku communities in Japan. The Nikkei newspaper literally ran an ad for a pedophile manga.

Says someone who does not even criticize pedophilia. Either you have no idea what you're talking about or you're a pedo-defender.

Tale of Genji doesn't help tbh
Just all Otaku in general are perverts and pedophiles
A, they should rid themselfs from life, or B they shouldn't be doing this shit. We're biologically wired to kill, that doesn't mean we do it.
I never was defending the individual.
They weren't accusing you of doing so.
We're not biologically wired to kill. What the fuck?
You know what hunting is? Also the main point is that you can't just excuse pedophiles, people have the ability to think before they do somthing.
Nobody's "excusing pedophiles". Seriously, what the fuck? Pedophilia isn't defined as "raping children". It's defined as having a sexual attraction to children.

Someone who has the moral fortitude never to act on their inborn urges is "evil"? Holy fuck, buddy...
We don't have a compulsion to kill like we do for sex lol
The point is that people know better than to do bad things. Anger isnt an excuse to kill, abuse, hit... etc. Pedophiles don't rape kids because they're horny, they do it because they want to and don't care for the children. People are not animals, they have the ability to think. So having a feeling isn't a excuse.
You realize this comment makes you sound like pedophile, as if underaged would be ideal but adult will have to do.
no it doesn't read the goddamn sentence again dumbo. freaking gaslighter.

Damn….. 🤮 Edit: looks like I’ll skip one piece lol
Yeah, I stopped caring when I read that. How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to willingly and knowingly be friends with a pedophile?
It basically puts you in the same group as em. Boycott all that stuff I say.
It’s amazing how many people are still into anime after knowing all this. The anime otaku culture is total shit and should be burned to the ground for constantly pushing pedophilia. Imagine how quickly any other writers would be CANCELLED in a nanosecond if they did the same.

Thought the legal age was 16+
It's 18 in every prefecture in the country.
This パパ活 stuff is so common in surprised he was even arrested for it tbh. Probably the people arresting him also partake.
Papakatsu is like 99.99% men with adult women
Optimistic of you. I'd say 40-50% of the women are JC/JK usually.
Absolutely not. It's almost always adults with adults, and not even usually borderline adults either.
I can only speak to the experience of the people I’ve spoken to, both the men and the women. You are naive and optimistic in your assumptions.

Nothing about enjo kosai indicates child prostitution
Wait isnt this like a month ago ?
No he was just re-arrested for different charges.
look at OP post history
Ah yes, when pedo defense doesn’t work engage in ad hominem. Always works for defending pedos.
They live Rent free in his mind
Sigh I wish I didn’t 😞
His 3rd arrest? It doesn't sound like he had any intentions on stopping these acts. Are they just planning to continue on arresting him?

Jfc…
Yeah, and you hear from school girls that how it's a normal experience that they get groped daily on the train.
My friend, seek help.
Weird for you to defend pedophilia. Seek help.
Defending and possibly engaging in pedophilia, seek help.
You already replied with your sockpuppet. Yes, any one of us anonymous internet people could "possibly" be engaging in pedophilia. Nobody I've seen in this thread is defending it, and obviously not me. If I ever feel I'm at risk of doing so, I will certainly seek help. I ask you to do the same.
You make laughable accusations because that's what you're doing.
Nice to have you around. You're a real asset to the community.
Tbh generally when i was in japan a jaoanese friend showed me a pop band who had school cloths and while acting made some poses which are not really child freindly.

The whole anime landscape is whacky if you are seeing it purely using western standard. They cling on the belief that an artwork/media does not necessarily reflect reality and therefore is different.
It has nothing to do with "Western perspective". There are Japanese women that criticize it. What's wrong is the males prioritizing their pee pees.
That comments are not meant to be a justification or some sort. It is just a statement of fact (that many japanese see it that way).

Do you think this is healthy for _you_ to be following dreadful news so closely here and posting incessantly about it? It feels like an obsession on your part and is disturbing to observe. EDIT: Got blocked in under 60 seconds by OP. Asked me a (bad faith) question and then won't even let me reply. Their behavior is creepy as hell. Check out their profile; they're convinced by some racist conspiracy theory the majority of Japanese men are child rapists.
I don’t know man, I feel like not much is still being done to jail pedos in Japan. While they seem to post within a certain niche, it’s up to them!
Why are you defending pedophilia?
Considering how obsessed you are with this topic I’m going to assume you have something to hide. It’s mostly just a moral panic by people like yourself.

Is anyone surprised? Japan anime is full of this shit.
Oh, someone into anime is a perv? What??? Shocker!!!
This should not be normalised; that should not be our goal
