I don't know who Mimei Sakamoto is, but I love her

[effervescible]

Manga artist Mimei Sakamoto rips Japan's moe culture in an upcoming issue of Shukan Bunshun. "This fetish you call 'moe' is a pedophiliac fetish and is nothing more than perversion," she says. "In other countries, they'd call what you're fantasizing over 'child pornography' and you'd all be arrested."

DUDE. That just rocks. I've found that particular aspect of fandom to be a bit scary, and it's cool that someone who's actually involved sees it too.

Although I'm a tad confused by the last paragraph.

It did have me up till the last paragraph, because "all the best people live in basements and don't talk to anyone" seems to contradict "they suck because they can't have real relationships". Buuuut I know jack about Japanese culture, so I am wanking here.

It's about time someone who actually lives in Japan said something intellegent on the subject of 'Moe' *shudders*

You go girl!
