Something I think about sometimes is when I first got on the Internet in the mid-90s there was more zoophilia porn around. Not any commercial operations making it, but in the spaces where people passed things around. Especially, more barnyard stuff, which I suspect has to do with more people going through puberty on farms before the ‘80s collapse of family farming, but teenagers fucking dogs, too

You don’t really hear about bukkake anymore.

Honestly the connection people aren’t making is between cuck fetishes and lesbian porn, kink for guys so heterosexual they’re exclusively into female sexual pleasure

The rise of the English term “creampie” has made “nakadashi” much easier to translate over the last two decades

Yeah, I’ve noticed more parent-child incest theming in stuff in recent years with all the “open fam” stuff and like 25% of the “step-” stuff on the tubes, but not there yet

Increasingly thinking a nontrivial thing in the culture around the coming of the internet was a generation of boys reared on “barely legal” “18 year old” porn to who that still registered as a future maturity to aspire to, rather than as a position they could dominate from above; that they displaced a pre-Eternal September culture that had been parsing teen girls from the perspective of maturity, but the internet-native culture is now old enough to be far enough past their own youth to finally relate to it that way

Yes, that sounds like plausible JAV copy

Highly recommended article on a niche corner of the Japanese gaming industry, anime fandom, and Japan’s regulatory environment for media - how to make a buck monetizing a 16 bit nipple, what’s not to love?

Always underappreciated is, before the Internet’s ubiquity, how much media was essentially psuedo-porn; effort or price-gated opportunities for erotic pinups or dialogue. And its not like that has gone away, but it had to radically shift its approach - seeing a bra just ain’t worth the Mahjong bracket anymore. Yet waifu-gatcha games (substituting in erotic *ownership* to replace the lowered value of erotic *access*)  and countless other media properties are direct descendants of this market demand, and I think anyone on the internet would tell you betting money on the horniness of consumers going *down* anytime soon is a bad bet.

Maybe, but unclear how much of a change that would be from “maybe the ‘90s popularly of anime is because anime was more infused with schoolgirl panties and tentacle rape than Los Angeles media was?”, anyway.

Tbf the anime industry in the US is exponentially larger today than it was in the 90′s or even the start of the 2010′s, though I’ll admit “actual number of new watchers” is hard to quantify over “increasing financialization of existing consumption streams & assets”. I think its decent odds that some dynamic beyond a rehash of the 90′s dynamic is required for that growth to make sense.

One of the big pluses for anime (for me) is that it doesn’t have the vague infusion of progressive politics made mandatory in western media since Trump got elected. Escapism from the 24/7 stalemate culture war is nice.

Yeah its definitely a plus for me, just on the sheer tiredness of the political tropes you can’t bang your head against anymore - though Anime certainly has its own repeated concepts! I think its even more prevalent in Manga sales, which are now the plurality of all comic sales in the US as their native compatriots have had a far more striking cultural shift in their content.

Still, how much of the growth is stemming from that? I still have no real pulse on, could be a tiny fraction or a legitimate part of the story, or this idea is entirely misdirected and its all legitimate streaming finally competing with piracy for eyeballs while the eyeball pile remains the same size.

I do think it’s a good sign that while YA is trying to calibrate their Queer Representation just right manga is pandering to its audience like “yaoi boys are hot 😅”

im gonna…presume that this isn’t sarcasm since that seems to the case with posts like this atm.

considering the fact that mainstream anime and Japanese society in general is very conservative with a largely apolitical population, it makes sense that anime has become popular as kind of like the monster trucks of the art world: cool explosions and scantily dressed jailbait. two of the biggest conservative values in anime are objectifying women and girls and pedophilia in general… So it makes sense that many weird incels find respite in a disconnected portrayal of women (I don’t need your political correctness! Things were better BEFORE the SJW movement!).

also, the anime industry is largely supported by exports and literally cannot subsist on the monetization of their indigenous otaku… they just could never have enough money to compensate for the sales overseas. at this point anime is largely created for the international coomer audience who needs the next Fantasy Female trope of the season to fap to. i always wondered why that in order to find liberal and subversive content in an anime or manga i have to really dig for a unique series or keep a really careful eye during the regular season. it just hit me reading this post. anime is for conservatives now and probably has been for a while.

to further illustrate this idea: yaoi is largely illustrated by hetero cis women who are expressing the taboo of viewing men as emotionally sensitive, among other things. just as a lot of mahou is produced by adult men who very badly want to see the panties of a 12 year old. repressed idiots aren’t being allowed to walk through why their shit is wrong and now its a movement… why fight for the right to know more and do better, let us fight for the right to conserve our horny stupid brains instead. in its own way that is very classic conservatism: enacting the destruction of others in order to maintain the status quo.

I honestly only know the plot or characterizations of practically anything after like KareKano by reverse engineering h-doujins

her 22 year old sister, making no effort to hide that she’s 22, makes like 3 times as much making custom mommy dom vids online

Yeah the term really does seem to have been warped by porn industry use as the age category between “Teen” and “Mature”

Is kind of amusing the extent to which “women are horny and want to fuck” is turning out to be the saving grace of the internet. No Girls indeed.

Asian girls were a thing in the 90s but while it was maybe novelty it wasn’t really a “forbidden” thing, just kind of well, the ‘70s immigrants’ kids are old enough now. And also on the internet in the “thumbnail gallery post” era Japanese porn still did the “here’s the prettiest girl you might see all day in a small town, well lit, posed, and shot to encourage you to work up sexual fantasies about her!” and American stuff was like “here’s a 35-year old stripper from an hour outside of Akron in pigtails and a tartan skirt spreading her labia minora open”

This was the same opening the Eastern European stuff, like Hegre and Met-Art, walked through

I’m not shocked to hear that she has a hijab video but I feel like I could account for her as an object of sexual fantasies just fine before I learned of it

Underlying dynamic must be after my time, I remember the last I Dream Of Jeannie orientalist dregs and then nothing happened there until after my sexual terrain was long since established

We went with my grandfather to a Moroccan multi-course restaurant with belly dancers and there was the distinctly uncomfortable sense that between ideas of “exotic dancing” and whatever associations he’d picked up posted to postwar North Africa this was all more erotically meaningful to him
