: a rash of internet american teenage girls wishing they were Japanese due to anime movies. They swarm chat rooms with their lil japanese names and message boards..hmm..similar to this one. Can someone explain why? Am I not "hip" anymore to see that pretending to be Japanese is cool?
my local comic shop has some anime and manga and just let me say that the japanese got issues. they got a thing for tentacle sexual penetrations (picture "little shop of horrors" with a porno soundtrack and you got some serious "yipes!") which weirds me out to no end in addition to their cultural misogyny (which i probably misspelled). and let's not forget about the wacky sailor outfit fetish! i wonder if our american teenage girls are aware of this? and could this post in fact be a public service of some kind? yipes!
