Top: How to Train Your Dragon

Bottom: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

Is the Animé a flavour of "thicc girl encourages perversions of socially awkward horny boy"? Because that's so blasé; it's overused.

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Surprisingly no. Those 2 depicted are just side characters and actually have a somewhat healthy relationship. And the main cast is generally not that sexualized.

To be clear, the issue you point out does exist, just not with these 2 specific characters.

Going on my watchlist :3 ty!

Not really. Guy in the bottom picture is a minor character. The show largely centers around a dragon girl (not the one pictured) who arrives at the human world injured, gets saved by another girl who works as a programmer, and then moves in as her maid out of gratitude. Dragon girl falls in love with programmer girl due to the kindness she shows her.

Ty, that sounds super cool!

Not entirely, that artist is also a confirmed pedo

[-] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Sources? Have googled a bit and couldn't find anything that paints the artist as a pedo.

I mean apart from the depiction of the characters, which is really weak as a confirmation of anything, seeing as a lot of Japanse works have the same questionable aesthetics.

I'm not going to search too deep for the sake of my own eyes, but had seen reference to their other works in a post on reddit that go beyond "questionable aesthetics" and into straight up 'that is a child'

That's half the male population of Japan

Thats a fuckin wild generalisation to make about an entire country's population

If they had an actual cultural problem with it pedo merchandise wouldn't be advertised in store windows.

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 1 points 55 minutes ago

Im assuming by that you mean 'if the people took issue with it', not 'if there was a cultural problem of pedo shit' (not trying to argue semantics, I do agree that there is 100% a cultural problem with normalising that kind of thing)

I'm only taking issue with you generalising a >120 MILLION population and labelling them as pedos
