While the itasha style of decal is said to be inspired from other vehicle-decoration fads like ‘dekotora’ (decoration trucks) and ‘bosozoku’ (motorcycle clubs), its roots can be traced back to the 1980s-when people in Japan started decorating their cars with plushies and stickers. And people LOVED that anime, its disgusting and fetishizing LGBT+ relationships.- Nipah 🐣 March 16, 2019 Look at "Citrus" the one girl constantly forces herself on the other and sexually assaults her almost every episode I saw. This isn't even just a yaoi related thing, yuri has the same issues. The list is endless but the problematic contenders depend on who you ask, given how most people link the genre’s popularity to the claim that “girls like fiction more than realism.” And don’t even get me started on yaoi’s obsession with misogyny, gaslighting, incest, and rape drugs. In some instances, characters who clearly look like minors are passed off as working adults. In the genre, ukes are also majorly treated as objects of pleasure with… self-lubricating booty holes that need no prior prep before penetration by literal lightsaber penises (in the case of censored yaoi, that is). In some yaoi works, however, homosexuality is likened to nothing more than a schoolyard fantasy that men just ‘grow out of’ over time if their significant other leaves them for their toxic female ex.
I mean, that’s fine in real life, you do you as long as it doesn’t hurt the other human involved. Synonymous with “I’m not gay, my boyfriend is,” most yaoi suggest that the characters are straight-except for just one person. Next up is “It’s okay if it’s you”: a trope that downplays same-sex relationships in both yaoi and yuri alike. Instead of being presented as a crime with an assaulter and victim, rape is transformed into a measure of passion that ultimately showcases the ‘uncontrollable’ attraction felt by the seme (‘top’ or ‘the attacker’ in the relationship) towards the uke (‘bottom’ or ‘the receiver’-yet another problematic trope labelling roles in same-sex courtship).Īlmost all yaoi stories feature at least one non-consensual sex scene as the uke later forgives and falls for the seme, thereby pardoning all sense of responsibility associated with the violent act. The fanservice side of the industry does not help this case either, nor does the questionable fanart of characters surfacing on forums like Reddit.įirst off, yaoi has a big rape problem. Majorly linked back to ‘gainaxing’-the technique of illustrating a female character with buoyant breasts minus a bra, then animating every single physics-defying jiggle and bounce they are subjected to-in several mainstream anime, it’s not surprising to see SFW shows being looped into the same category as hentai.

For the uninitiated, however, the Japanese film and TV animation style is synonymous with a deeply problematic-depends who you ask-genre called hentai (read: animated pornography).Īlthough 2022 witnessed anime’s rise to global prominence with the live-action remake of Cowboy Bebop, iconic tributes to Sailor Moon and even Kanye West admitting that his “biggest creative inspiration” is Katsuhiro Otomo’s cyberpunk film Akira, chances are that if you declare your love for Japanese popular culture or stream Otacore playlists in public, you’d immediately be hit with an “I bet you have some weird kinks like scat since you watch anime.”
Shonen, shoujo, seinen, josei, isekai, mecha, kodomomuke… for an avid enthusiast, the list of anime genres is bottomless and every category has its unique set of subgenres to binge-watch.
