Sex in anime.

the US and darkest africa eh? go to school? history 101? US slavery maybe? guess you forgot that part of the population before making that statement.

so your only reference to the fifties TV is I love Lucy?

and saying censorship was only started in the Kennedy period is laughable in and of itself.

the previous quote alone is so far off base in reality its beyond laughable and downright scary you don't know better.

pretty much every advanced society has arranged marriages to say it commonly attributable to primitive societies shows a distinct lack of historical education. or did you think modern England,France ,Germany,Japan.....etc... are primitive societies?

Stop the bullshit. You made the claim "the most backwards people possible made up the majority of many societies"; I brought up the actual primitive peoples to point out the sheer idiocy of that statement. But then I guess "intellectual honesty" isn't a phrase you're familiar with.

"I don't believe it so it can't be true!". TV shows aim to be what people want to see - and people wanted sterile fantasy at the time. TV was growing out it it when the FCC started intervening.

I'm beginning to think your inability to properly write a post is a reflection of your intelligence. I merely said it was common in primitive societies; I said nothing about modern ones, certainly not that they didn't happen(you could read in the implication that it isn't common in modern societies, which just so happens to be the case).

If you want a more global consideration, the primitive African peoples are far worse than almost every other society that's ever existed. Making it out of Africa, it would seem, requires a level of social advancement that stuck with the descendants of those who did.

As for education, again that's completely irrelevant - it certainly didn't stop "educated" Romans from thinking Etruscan women were sluts for socializing with men in public. Which reminds me that this all blew up because I had the temerity to suggest that women's historical status in most societies was second class rather than slave, a proposition you've yet to refute.

But then, this thread has nothing to do with Africans, Mediterraneans or Americans. It's about the Japanese, about whom you've offered no discussion.

you can not base beliefs in the past on today's standards and education. the lack of education in the past in MOST rural area's had a huge affect on social norms. in salem for example the only person allowed to read and interpret the bible was the very person who condemned women to burn for witchcraft. pretty convenient situation. in fact in a large number of communities this was true only the elder was allowed to read the bible and interpret the book.

I'm sorry, but there are only two ways to describe this: "non sequitur"(education has sod all to do with cultural norms or your drastic misinterpretation of my comment) and "historically ignorant"(the Salem witch trials claimed a decent number of men as well and were pure land grabs powered by superstition - sexism had nothing to do with it).

Since this culture would be rooted in disaffection from social changes, it only makes sense the media that caters to them would be far more conservative than that targeted at mainstream crowds; this conservatism naturally results in the need for "purity" and fidelity in female characters.

Quite the opposite actually. Most puritans believed everyone should be able to read the Bible and that reading it was an important part of spiritual life. The Puritan colonies had some of the highest literacy rates, especially among women, in the world at that time.

We're straying way off-topic here. Get back on-topic or I will start removing posts.

Well, From The New World should have a yaoi sex scene, a yuri sex scene and a lot of other sex scene.
