Long hair cuts? Where have you been since, like, the sixties?

I love Japan <3

When did your fascination with Japan begin? Has it occupied your every waking thought since you were a small child or did it grow mostly near high school?

Your obsession reminds me of trekkies. Mostly in the way that they take the show seriously. No offense.

Now that is an educational facility that gives a shit.

although your underlying idea is right, your explanation and delivery is terribly flawed

Well, when I was a little drooly tyke, my mum bought me the old Voltron TV show on VHS instead of Barbie and that basically set me on the robot path. Then I watched Transformers and stuff like that, even a bit of Robotech.

Anyway, once I first moved overseas with her to China, I got my hands on a bunch of subtitled tokutsatsu shows from Japan, which is basically everything from Godzilla to Power Rangers. That set me up even more.

When I was about 7 or 8, we lived in Japan for a good while itself, and I encountered shows like Hikarian, which while also having robots and shit, also had cute anime girls. This, plus pokemon and digimon, really first put my mind into it. I didn't know the language very well, but kid's don't need words to understand giant fucking robots beating each other up!

So anyway after I moved back to China again, I started getting my grandparents back in Australia to get me DVDs of Anime like Sakura Wars, Slayers, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, and Ghost in the Shell. These were all mature mindfuck shows and they changed my interest yet again.

Finally, I discovered the fun of the internet and started downloading real shows online with fansubs and shit, plus I started buying manga and stuff from stores and things. In my recent trips to Japan I buy tons of cheap cutesy toys and enjoy them too.

I've always lived in an Asian environment, really, even my mum and her sister actually grew up in Kuching, so yeah. Not to mention, my dad was Asian himself, which is why I look like that while my mum is as white as a whiteboard. Bastard didn't stick around after that one night stand, however =P

Another reason is that cute anime girls and Yuri (lesbian) manga that I stumbled across really helped with my sexual identity.

When I came back to Australia my rather strange interests have made me a bit of a geek, but my girlfriend is able to get past that so I'm okay.

Androgynous chicks are the best looking.

I completely didn't know you were in Australia. And if you had an avatar of a wolf circa 2003ish, like I think you did, it's almost like you were a different person then.

huh internet.

edit:

not to mention androgynous boys

I was a different person then. A total idiot.

Anyway, Anime is cool because it creates things like this:

What did your mother do that allowed her to move around so much?

Get bored easily?

She majored in English Lit then got into Journalism. After studying over in Europe somewhere she came back and taught Japanese and Chinese students English, but then she found work to easy and got a high-paying job in a major English magazine in China (surprisingly more popular then you think!) so that dragged me along with her. The magazine was owned by a multinational company so once she finished up in one place they sent her somewhere else.

I got used to it. Hell, right now she's dumped me in Australia where I'm finishing my study so she can go work in Singapore =P.

We should SO hang out. And watch anime together.

Alcar...

I don't hang out with USERNAME THIEVES!

I find Yuki from No Bra hot, and s/he/it's a transvestite.

8D

Must've been at my college. Since I know lots of guys with long hair, and am in the process of growing mine out myself.

Hippies fucking rule. The 60s need a resurgence.

Hippies are dreadful, awful fuckers.

They are now. They didn't use to be. Or so my fake, pre-birth nostalgia tells me.

How so? Hippies are not the same as gypsies: Gypsies are dreadful, awful fuckers. Hippies? Not in my experience.

I like how we’re leaping in to defend our resident pædophile and instead turning on those of alternative lifestyles and ethnic groups.

What the fuck is people's problem with Gypsies? They're poor wandering bards. Of course some are scumbags, but calling them all awful fuckers is rather racist, assuming we're talking about the Romany tribes in Europe and India.

Hippies, on the other hand... Every one I've met has been lazy, spaced-out and fucking obnoxious. The whole thing comes from "revolutionaries" in San Francisco that dropped shit-tons of acid and smoked meth. They are naught but drug-addled wastes. I appreciate their contribution to kicking off counter-culture, but shit, other than they are goddamn useless.

EDIT: I guess they're kind, can't fault 'em for that. But still fucking useless.

Since when did we only have one?

Probably because if there was a sexy chick who wanted to suck horse cocks, it wouldn't be an issue.

But really, I'm not attracted to small children at all in real life and never have been. =/

Hippies and gypsies both suck.

But only if you pay them.

*facepalms at direction this thread is going*

I love me a good Gypsy, even without fellatio

you know i read somewhere about an experiment. about 20 (# stands just for comparison) male, non-pedo psychologic students watched a slide show of photos, whith under 12 years old naked girls on them. about 18 of them got an erection.
manga/anime figures like those on your image are in such a position, only adults or at least juveniles would be.
apart from that i hope everyone is able to differ between a pedophile and a pedocriminal. as long as a pedophile hasn't done anything wrong, i think nobody should blame him for anything...

I challenge that statement, any psychologist performing a study like that would have his license torn up in front of him and be convicted for handling pedophilic material.

Who said it was an official test? The outcome of such a test doesn't surprise me either.

(I'm going to get burned for this, I know that for a fact, BUT) I think in a way that if you'd go back to basics, our instinct considers a 12 year old girl sexually mature. And this is true in a way because there are plenty of girls who get their first period around their 11th, 12th or 13th. Next to that there are also plenty of stories of girls who are pregnant on the age of 12.

Our society has banned any sexual thought of children that young because sex has become a lot more then it's basic purpose of reproducing. But in the sense of our primal instinct I think that a 12 year old would be considered ok for mating with and this our instinct gives you the boner.

Of course no-one is ever going to admit getting a boner when he sees a young girl around the age of 12 - 15, when you're around 20 yourself. But I'm pretty sure that it has happened to every guy at one point or another. Think swimming pools, beaches or accidentally getting confronted with the wrong kind of porn somehow.

Just because we consciously know such thoughts about young children are wrong in today's society doesn't mean our primal instincts gives a rats ass.

Just my $0.02.

You know what? Forget it.

My gypsy comment was intended to be a sarcastic reply to Kimon's post, and meant in jest. But evidently people took it seriously and think I have a problem with gypsies. I have only got a problem with the gypsies who steal and use other people's land without permission or reason. Gypsies in general I dont. I made that post intending it as a joke. But evidently it wasnt obvious. That or I'm not one of the people who can get away with making politically incorrect statements like Kimon's generalisation of hippies that I at first presumed was also meant in jest. Maybe I should use [sarcasm] tags in the future. But its irrelevant as the damage is done already by that post.


So Im just not going to bother posting in Off Topic anymore. i know you'll have fun without me, and probably won't need to worry about some "racist" spoiling your fun.

This. But uhm, 12 years old is actually not considered pedo. 12-year-olds have sexual properties that can be attractive to adults. Pedophilia is actually used to describe people who get off to 5-year-olds and such.

Really? Hm.

Wiki says it depends on the context. In the medical context it means sexual attraction to a prepubescent child. In law enforcement it means sexual contact with a minor (which is anything below 18 I believe).

So then, outside the law enforcement term, what would be the term for sexual attraction to children above the age of 12 for example?

Oh, don't be so emotional. Sarcasm is hard to read on the Internet; this is fact. It's nobody's fault your post got misinterpreted.

Isn't attraction to 13-15 year olds considered something else? Ephebeophillia or something?

Well fuck, I started cybering with my girlfriend when she was 15 and I was 17, lock me up and call me Pedobear.

No Ghost, still pedophellia, in fact, sexual realations with anyone under 16 is considered rape, statatory rape.

No, mudling, you're hideously wrong; did you even bother to wiki Ephebophilia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia

Pedophilia only blanket terms it.

Now suck my dick you filthy child.

Fear not everyone! I shall assume the position of the forum racist following MM's resignation.

well i am unable to prove the source, so you're right to challenge my statement. so it wouldn't make any more sense to argue about this...
