Clone girls with no personality never really appealed to me, so I don't understand why everyone likes DONATE TO 4CHAN so much.

When you have over 6,000,000,000 people on the planet you know you're going to come across some strange fetishes once in a while. Even as a guy I don't understand every supposedly male-oriented fetish. Some of them are simply of no interest while others are just plain disgusting.

Whatever sexual fetish you can imagine (no matter how weird or disgusting or absurd), there is someone out there doing it and deriving pleasure from it. As daxomni says, it's a big world and there are a lot of people out there.

The best you can hope is that people find something to do that isn't hurtful towards others.

Somewhere in the world, somebody is stuffing caterpillars up his nostrils while humming the "Marseillaise" -- and enjoying every moment of it. Right this instant.

Wonder if African witch doctors are upset that we use the word fetish in such a negative manner. When a fetish is a small idol, or something like that. See Kirikou et La Sorciere, or Abunai.

We should begin using Harlan Ellison's favorite word, pecadillo. It has such lovely pseudo-double entendres.

Barfing, do you mean Motoko Kusanagi? Her, lifeless? I would have used restrained, reserved, and private, but not lifeless. Of course I have one manga of GITS, and know otherwise. WAHOO!!! Shocked Very Happy

abunai you so right. But the twisted thing about this world is that if you could create pliant souless clones who objected to nothing there would be plenty of buyers (and unfortuately it wouldn't stop the traffic in "real" people either).

That's why I join the "I feel dirty just replying to this topic" crowd. It goes to a really dark corner which nothing nice can be said.

All the best,

Nani?

Sexuality, especially sexuality that one considers to be odd, is never an easy topic to discuss but it is something that we've all thought about at least once. And I don't mean considering sex with a young girl or stuffing caterpillars up our noses. I mean what we've seen in anime. Why these young girls are depicted as sexual objects, or why someone such as Rei is favored over someone like Asuka. It's something that while uncomfortable is something worth discussing in some way.

Gotta say I never understood the whole Rei thing either. I like eva as much as the next guy, but Asuka always seemed like the sexually appealing one (allthough the whole psycho bitch thing damn nears cancells it out.) Also, Rei is just so cold that she would not even fit for Moe appeal AND her character design is rather poorly made (too curvy for loli, too disproportionate to be sexy.)


One thing that enhances her image among fans is all the merchandise...like the figurines that have Pajama Rei, Bikini Rei, School Swimsuit Rei, and a whole bunch of others that I don't recall or don't want to recall. If you haven't seen Evangelion and you happen to pass by a dealer's table at a convention and see all the Rei and Asuka merch, you'd think that they were characters in some cute fanservicey comedy. Smiling, striking poses, showing skin...whatever the product, chances are it doesn't show Rei in the same cold/unemotional way that she actually is in the series.

Oh yeah, you know you want this. Twisted Evil

Some people just have a really unhealthy relationship with their favorite anime character.

The maid she's French,
She's got no sense
She's from the Crazy Horse

Don't you think there's a place for you?
In between the sheets?

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Crazy Horse, a famous American Indian, also a famous cabaret in Paris. Known to be a little more risque than the Moulin-Rouge. (red mill)

Personally, I find seeing Rei as a sex symbol as much better than other horrors, heh. First, I agree that for me, Misato > Asuka > Rei. Anyway this is a quote from an english teacher in Japan(American) that decided to rent a japanese porn video. What a horrible mistake.

Quote:
Back at school, Sayaka is by herself at the soccer field or something, when Ai approaches her. Ai says that she's glad to be able to see Sayaka after so long, and that she missed her. Sayaka admits that she's missed Ai too. They have an emotional moment and hug. Just then, WG rolls up and sees them hugging, and assumes Ai is up to her old tricks. She then runs Ai over with her wheelchair, knocking her out. The scene cuts to Big Sis's house, where Ai and Sayaka are tied up, with Ai's bonds spreading her out on a table.


WG is Wheelchair Girl lol. Apparently she got mad at Ai or someone earlier and threw herself off a building and broke/crippled her legs. Big Sis is a person that helped WG in the hospital, I think. It keeps getting worse and worse.

Overall, I've heard of some pretty disgusting fetishes. This video is nothing compared to them. And of course, disgusting being a "in the eye of the beholder" type deal because someone doesn't feel them to be disgusting obviously. Seeing Rei as sexy is a lot more normal I think; though I've never understood why she alone is so popular. Perhaps the others are right just because she is that cold emotionless "doll".
