I guess I should\u2019ve gone with \u201cretro\u201d

\n

Oh my GOD you guys, I KNOW about The Dream of the Fisherman\u2019s Wife. (And think ukiyo-e is oversold as hentai predecessor.) I\u2019m not talking about the origins of the theme but its currency.

Like\u2026 the parallel would be heavy metal. (Which you could trace to Wagner, but shouldn\u2019t.) How once it was big and iconic, the leading style of rock when rock was the leading style of pop, but then faded from the mainstream, kept alive as a minor niche thing. And now is teed up for revival.

\n\n

I think there\u2019s something interesting in how popular hentai thematics of \u201csexual threat\u201d went from tentacle-era \u201cinsatiable cock demon taking women by force\u201d to the NTR-era \u201cscummy guy who seduces your precious beloved out from under your oversensitive/hesitant nose by giving her the sex object treatment she secretly craves\u201d.
