"The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down"
And belive me, it does. Also, look at these 16 year old kogyaru and anime girls here. They look like walking sluts. Now wait before you go off on your own little rage about what i just said. i will break it down for you.
i am 30, I was goth in HS and lived in Japan the majority of my life. i was at evey X Japan concert and actually was tramatized when Hide offed himself. So when i look at these Harajuku girls or Shibuya girls, I see freedom of expression. I see people following a fad till they are about 22 then putting on a suit and going to work. I have no problem with this and hey, the girls are hot! most of them.
NOW! Lets look from the 45 year old police chiefs eyes who sees his daughters ass cheeks hanging out all the time or skimpy clothing on everywhere she goes....blah blah blah. I am willing to put one of my cars on the line that he raped her. Sounds bad? Actually happends daily in Japan. Then these girls watch these new animes and associate themselves then go kill someone. Is it the animes fault? I think it has some responsibility. But I would think it is an overall effect of daddy touching her, guys touching her, and low self esteem. then compund this with drama queen friends and a slave camp school... If you search the mainichi paper, tokyo times, Japan times... there are stories like this all over the place.
