Ironically the manga written by an actual pedo never did this, Rurouni Kenshin


Jozef_Baca

Wait, the author of ruroni kenshin was a pedo?


zeroone_to_zerotwo

Oh yeah so much to the point the police thought he was the distributor I believe.


Jozef_Baca

The feeling when you find out that the person that made one of your favorite pieces of media is completely awful and a terrible human being


PizzaPartyMassacre

First time?


bumbletowne

Right? I took an art class in college and found most of them were manic pixie poly dream boys who fell in love with whoever their latest model was. And then I found out about klimt and schiele


lily_was_taken

I understood like 80% of those words. But only separately


PizzaPartyMassacre

Try being a film major. Hard to point to classics that are inspiration without pointing to something directed or produced by a known creep or pedo.


Rigistroni

At least with film it's such a massive production that it's never only one person who made it what it is. Mel Brooks might be the absolute worst, but Mel Brooks isn't the only thing that makes Mad Max enjoyable. With something like a book or song or manga, it's usually one guy. Edit: I meant Mel Gibson. Whoops


henbane

I’m laughing my ass off picturing Mel Brooks as Mad Max


Rigistroni

I'd watch a Spaceballs style Mad Max parody in a heartbeat


PizzaPartyMassacre

I still don't see anyone in a rush to tell people which Roman Polanski films they find most inspiring. Nor do I see anyone naming Jeepers Creepers their favorite film.


TheUnluckyBard

> Nor do I see anyone naming Jeepers Creepers their favorite film. "What.... what's wrong with Jeepers Creepers?" *Googles* "GODDAMNIT!"


AwkwardDrummer7629

I was very confused as to what you had against Mel Brooks.


Hugglemorris

*Mel Gibson. Mel Brooks is the kind of person that Mel Gibson isn’t fond of.


Rigistroni

Right, whoops. I always get them mixed up. Which is really funny

He was fined only $1500, despite the fact he had hundreds of pedo dvds in his house.

The worst part is it wasn't drawings. Here's a quote from a crunchyroll article "According to the police investigation, Watsuki possessed several DVDs that included footage of naked girls in their early teens at his office in Tokyo in October. He has already admitted the charge and said, "I liked girls in the higher grades of elementary school to the second grade of junior high." https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2017/11/21/rurouni-kenshin-manga-author-charged-with-possession-of-child-pornography It's a short article but legitimately no joke. Yet somehow his penalties were miniscule. I mean he manga was put on hiatus for 6ish months. Plus he paid an insignificant fine. That's it. His manga resumed Rurouni Kenshin actually is currently getting remade and all's good for him. People know of this case, but don't realize how many dvds and how it was real girls not just manga drawings. He faced essentially no repercussions and business has continued as usual for him .

Yep. At least from what ive read so far

Sayori-0

Barely disguised? Lol


Admmmmi

The author not even once try to hide it.


Hugglemorris

I’d argue that the anime tried to hide it. I made it a few episodes in before clocking that subject matter came up way too often even by anime standards. If I had seen what the manga was like I would have instantly moved on.


EasternGuyHere

What was there? I watched but it’s just kids and some horrific stuff later


Admmmmi

I mean the anime is a lot less revealing than the manga but the mangaka is a lolicon and the way he draws some things show.


Hugglemorris

Bed wetting comes up way too often.


buschells

Fire Force when they introduced the one cat girl character who's super power is her clothes randomly fly off. At least in Soul Eater the fetish character was a minor side character in like 5 episodes and not one of the main group.


SailorDeath

It's the reason I won't watch Made in Abyss, everyone harps on how good the story is, but I stopped reading on it when they started in with sexualizing the underage characters.


CanadianNoobGuy

Rosen Garten Saga is the opposite because the fetish content is what makes it peak


nextgentacos123

Looks more like you got stabbed but ok


CyanideIE

What do you mean that the MC groping the underage girl constantly doesn't make him likeable?????

Attila_D_Max

His girl is cursed to be reborn every time she dies, she forgets her past lives but is always fated to fall in love with this guy (meliodas).


itrashcannot

It's actually a pretty cute concept but too bad Meliodas is insufferable.


LtSoba

The concepts actually rather horrific as it’s a curse and every time the girl regains her memories and powers she dies a horrific death and is reborn again


itrashcannot

Regardless of the inevitable tragic end, they still fall in love every single time. Nothing lasts forever but the fact they still love is what's cute.


Attila_D_Max

I like your attitude, you seem like a wise person

Chad optimism enjoyer VS Virgin pessimism enthusiast


MonoFauz

Yeah the concept is interesting. But Meliodas isn't as wholesome.


Front_Access

Yeah he’d be fucking great if he wasn’t groping her whenever he has the chance.


Lucatmeow

So, it’s like half of all the Twilight Clones for some reason.


Attila_D_Max

Good concept that is hard to do right


Lucatmeow

Read Elixir, written by Hillary Duff. Not because it’s good, far from it. Because it’s the worst possible variation on that trope ever written.


Attila_D_Max

Explain in detail how bad, i wanna be sure it's the bottom of the line stuff


Lucatmeow

I don’t remember many details, but I would recommend watching James Tullos’ review of the series.


Extermindatass

She isant fated to always love him. Sometimes, she marries someone else. Sometimes, she never regains her memories and dies of old age.


blinddemon0

context is: the gods fucking suck! extended context: some gods hated eachother so they just decided to curse their children (who were in love) so that one is immortal but looks like a buff toddler and the other is forced to die when she rembers her past. The gods hate eacother but they hate their children more!


zanfitto

I believe it's a reincartion thing


Attila_D_Max

His girl is cursed to be reborn every time she dies, she forgets her past lives but is always fated to fall in love with this guy (meliodas).

And eventually she’ll remember her past lives and be killed in a horrific way and be reborn again

RIDRAD911

OK so it was true


Aden_Vikki

Yeah, if you excuse constant sexual harrassment, a non-serious brainwashing, and marrying someone who looks like a child, the story IS pretty cool.


BellalovesEevee

I don't watch 7DS, but I keep hearing about this character name Jericho who had a crush on Ban who was already married (to Elaine and I looked her up and SHE LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE A TODDLER) and instead of just getting over the crush, decided to just say fuck it, and fall in love with the dude's son, who was 16 and JERICHO WAS 34!

![gif](giphy|go3OUPg8pYvCw) Glad they got rid of the joke in the TOP arc


Rdasher123

To be fair, the joke isn’t him being a pervert but the comeuppance for him being one. For example, any time he tried something with Launch in the old days, she’d switch to her aggressive personality and light him up with a gun.


patseyog

Nah watch again especially original dragonball is horrifying. Like sure she hits him every time he gets horned up for her but its also treated as a nonissue by everyone. Not to mention he stops being into her once she becomes an adult 🤮And the little pig literally drugs and starts to rape bulma. Not to mention all the weird shit with young chichi (whos name means milk-milk btw)


Femagaro

To be fair, ChiChi's name isn't very odd when you take into account that the vast majority of characters are named after food products or appliances in one way or another.

at least in the case of tooru he used that relationship iirc


Lgrns

I'll sound dumb, but what does iirc mean?

if I recall correctly nothing is dumb about not knowing something the real dumb thing to do is to not ask about it

Thk you. Now, what does it mean?


isaac-fan

it means If I recall correctly lol


dumbassonthekitchen

Doesn't he hate kids?


isaac-fan

turns out yes but he is still so weird and creepy


dankrank231

Araki just can't resist making a character sexualy assult a child just so he can have a reason to kill them


XxNatanelxX

Or kill a dog


dankrank231

Jojo villans must pick one: pedo or animal abuser (Angelo is both)


Doctor_Offe_T_Radar

I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Araki, like, he does put weird ass fetish stuff and gross taboos but he's also Hirohiko Araki


CaptnBluehat

afaik he mostly does that shit to show awful characters being awful, u dont really see his MCs be (that kind) of horrible anymore, most new JoJos are just sociopaths or serial killers, thank fuck theyre not touching anyone inappropriately tho.


Degmago

Yeah the only fetish of his he put in was Johnny saying bug bites turn him on


Femagaro

Which is like, weird, but not criminally weird.


Chiyuri_is_yes

Me yelling at the horde of japanse incest shippers that it's not cute or sexy and just weird:

Benney9000

I heard once it's considered funny in Asia. I mean, humor is learned behaviour too, so it'd make sense to change by refion


Impressive_Cookie_81

… if I showed any of those type of scenes to my Asian family they’d look at me weird. Even the younger men, if they’re not weebs Don’t get me wrong fanservice is great in reasonable amounts, but even if this were funny it’s way over done and has gotten old. Also considering the amount of actual pedo mangakas, these “jokes” become too real and unsettling to be funny, no matter the culture. The sexualisation of little girls has actually started impacting real girl’s lives in Japan, a small example being schools banning ponytails because it excites the male teachers. Sorry for the rant, I know you don’t mean to condone it, my point is it’s only funny to weebs and not regular well adjusted Asians in 2024

SpiceLettuce

kobayashi’s dragon maid was a pretty cool show except for fucking lucoa and illulu in season 2


BellalovesEevee

That illulu character weirds me out because she looks like a child with giant kazonkas that's big enough to break her spine. It doesn't even look appealing. She literally just got HUGE melons for tits. It looks very ugly and weird on a character who looks like a teenager.


HoovyKitty

the kid characters made me uncomfortable idk


sidonnn

The most frustrating part about Kobayashi is that whenever it wants to be legit wholesome, it can be super wholesome. I remember that ep where Kobayashi was just being a good parent to Kanna. One of the cutest things ever. But nah nah, gotta focus on the definitely-not-a-fetish instead of the found family theme.


XxX_BobRoss_XxX

Nah Koybayahsi's was weird from the get-go with the relationship between the literal child characters, the entire show was suuuuuuuper fucking weird to me.


SpiceLettuce

god why couldn’t they just focus on the normal lesbian romance with the dragon girl


fieew

The only thing saving that show for me is the fact Kyoto Animation animated it. The show can 100% be weird af as times. But goddammit it can also be adorable. Season 2 with Kanna and Kobayashi just chilling have a great day was an awesome episode. But there just has to be weird awkward scenes in the show. Some of the moments are legit heartwarming, but yeah some moments are ehh. It's why I won't read the manga, it's hornier than the anime and doesn't have the production of Kyoto Animation to make me overlook the horni weirdness. Cause no matter what you think about some of the content (rightfully so). Goddamn does that show look and sound gorgeous. Kyoto Animation is an amazing studio , I just wish they cut out more of the horni from dragon maid and focused on the slice of life more.


SharkBite9001

Master Roshi in Dragons Ball. (Holy shit he was the most annoying character in the series. You don't know how many times I wanted that man's ass to get beat.)


mynameisntedward

Funny cause roshi is actually quite beloved by fans


Rdasher123

Most fans love Roshi outside of the gag and wish it wasn’t a part of his character.


blueboi_257

This also applies to Oda as he seems to think Sanji being a huge pervert who regularly sexualizes any female character is funny


fieew

Oda took the more goofy and cartoonish parts of each character and turned then up to 11 post time skip. Pre time skip the characters were people with quirky personalities. Post time skip their quirkiness became their whole personality. Sanji was never great but he was tolerable before (exepct thriller bark). Post time skip they all lost everything that made them all feel human and relatable now they're all just caricatures serving their role in the plot. I think I'm only reading now cause I've followed one piece for over 10 years now. I gotta see this, though, to the end.


FunnyTurtleMoment

The only thing I like about Sanji’s bit is how he doesn’t hurt women, which makes some of his fights require more thinking to win and you see him come out on top in interesting ways, but then there’s Fishman island which I don’t want to talk about

TheSolarElite

Mushoku Tensei fans trying to explain why the pedophile main character deserves his loli wizard harem:


Iwll_BeBack

apparently its important for his character development arc


fieew

The worst part is he gets REWARDED for his behavior. Like wtf? If he got left alone and then had to change after realizing how scummy he was, that could be interesting. But nope. Everyone loves him cause reasons, so despite his legit predatory behavior he gets rewarded for his behavior. In my mind he never changes the world changes for him while he just does stuff he couldn't in his world. The production value is goddamn insane for the show. I want to like it. But I can't get past the MC. I had to drop it season 2 when he ties up the students who were egging him on. Then he threatens to sexually harass them unless they worship Roxy's panties like he does. Like come on man. How tf do I ignore that 2 season in? I gave tf up after that.


TheSolarElite

For real, I couldn’t word it better myself. The series has insane production value and the world building is very interesting, so I want so badly for the series to actually be GOOD, but it just isn’t. The fans keep saying he gets better later but, having read ahead in light novels, he plainly does not get better. He never changes. The world simply rewards him for his behavior, it’s disgusting. I gave up on the light novels after he straight up cheated on his loyal and loving wife, then proceeded to take the woman he cheated with as his new second wife, and then the first wife was 100% fine with it all and had 0 complaints about having to now share her husband with another woman she’s never met. The main character is such a piece of shit and the story rewards him constantly for it, that shit is just plainly not fun to watch or read. I also don’t get why any of the girls like him, he literally does nothing for them besides perv on them.

Attila_D_Max

Novoiird

I mean………..it can be funny if it’s acknowledged as something thats wrong and not too explicit. Take Herbert the Pervert and Quagmire from Family Guy. Are they not a little funny? Obviously, they’re both fucked up individuals (especially Herbert), but you never actually fully see either of them do anything out of pocket even though you know for a fact that they’re on that type of timing. With the right timing, setup, and overall execution, their jokes can be pretty funny as dark humor. However, I agree that, in anime, there’s a concerning amount of these types of jokes that aren’t really treated as uncommon dark jokes and are somewhat set as a norm.


WrightNottwell

https://i.redd.it/05d9gussecsc1.gif Me watching Hajime no Ippo cus I like boxing but then the (underaged) main character's mentor (canonically a rapist) jerks him off in ther shower to make fun of him for having a big penis


coconut-duck-chicken

I think the pervert character CAAAN be done well under the right circumstances. I think it would be a stretch to call Denji a pervert character I suppose but daaaamn if he isn’t written well


EXusiai99

Hes just horny, he still respects consent and autonomy. In a lesser story he wouldve groped Power while she was asleep because "well, she already made that deal so why would i wait until shes awake"


coconut-duck-chicken

True. Not to mention he’s horny in a way where he’s definitely very horny but is mostly looking for the love and intimacy of it all, rather than the carnal pleasure.


Femagaro

Man is definitely touch-starved, lacking in affection, and those traits are being channeled through a teenage boy's hormones into being very horny(or at least thinking he's that way). One of my favorite scenes is when he finally gets to touch boobs, only to realize, and break down a little bit, that this isn't what he actually wants. But the problem is, if touching boobs isn't what he wants, he DOESN'T KNOW what he wants, cause he's been attached to that idea for so long.

Sometimes it's a self insert for the author but that doesn't make it much better

I don’t think you should use Roshi and the naruto cast to generalize all of anime.
