Now...I wish some stuff like that would be brought over. I would so be all over the idea of having that pillow case that both had Shizuo and Izaya on it. And I JUST saw a Tiger & Bunny pillow were they were entangled in each others arms, I would love to have that.

They are really being subtle about Masamune's eye-patch, aren't they?

You know, if these DO get brought over to the US... I wonder how parents will react to having "Pokemon characters" on these?

(Pokemon Conquest uses the Samurai Warriors 3 character designs. Some with more modifications than others)

I want to see some of these companies release dick mousepad. That would be revolutionary.

You should be more worried if Nintendo of America/4Kids/Whoever Owns It Now tries to censor or stop it rather than parent reaction. They seem hellbent on keeping the facade that the series is totally squeaky clean preschool programming preserved. Then again I don't know if bodypillows are big enough in the US to be brought over.

Go back to /jp/, maybe they'll tolerate your odious misogyny over there.

A) they aren't

B) The people who would say that would never even see them

C) This is as dumb as "what if 4kids licensed <insert>" that was so prevalent back in the day.

Putting aside the blatant misogyny, WTF is even the context here?

If I had to wager a guess, he's rambling about how some people want these but dislike those female-char hugging pillows. Or something

Probably the people who complain about female body pillows being otaku pandering crap.

Though joke's on him, most people who cry those are sexist are men from what I've seen.

I can tell you why women hate the body pillows with the female characters on them. First off, they hardly wear a damned thing, or at least most of them don't. There are some that do wear an full outfit, like Yuko from xxxHolic, but they're pretty much in slutty outfits in poses to make it worse.

As when women get body pillows with men on them, they're fully dressed and just lie there. I'll use the example of Shizuo from Durarara, he's in there in his blue boxers and white t-shirt, just chilling out on there. They're not in sexual poses, or wearing slutty outfits, or wearing expressions on their face that give men ideas.

Male characters on body pillows are just chilling out in a casual pose and in sleep wear...they're not even shirtless. So, if you were wondering why women hate female character body pillows...that would be why. The female character body pillows, in simple terms, are sexist towards women.

I can think of only a few male character dakimakuras that are pretty sexy (and official merch, not fanmade) but yeah, most are relatively chaste-looking.

Yeah, but those are from BL manga and games that are 18+...those are for the adult fan. <.<...I would HOPE they don't sell those without people showing an ID first.

But I've female body pillows of like all sorts of characters, regardless of the content of the anime and the characters personalty.

Izaya & Shizuo pillows Shizuo looks so innocent.
