Besides, just because a 15 year old looks like a conservative, 20 year old student, doesn't make it okay.
Or I guess, just to be safe, a 20 year old dressing like a conservative, decent 15 year old.
Those porn stars represent what the Music Industry is trying to put out. The fact that the industry is so ingrained on the culture is actually really disturbing.And there's so many instances in the culture where you can really see the effects of this "lolita complex".
I'm sorry you have to look down on the Western Industry and their stars...but the Japanese industry is no different. They're just as perverted, commercialized, and overexposed as the Western Industry is, and just because they flaunt their sexuality in a different way in order to attract people doesn't make them any more "decent".
To me, it's actually quite sick.
and btw, Britney Spears is a person who needed help. I think it's pathetic that people have to keep hitting a person while they're down. |
Sure I agree with your for the most part
Can't argue with most of the things that you've sad.
Let's simply put it this way, I prefer the ways Japanese market and their singers work
even though they might be as perverted (which I am pretty sure they are for the most part), but once again there is a difference in being cheap and vulgar which I consider most of the mainstream Western artists to be and what they're doing in Japan. I don't consider most of the j-artists I listen to neither perverted nor vulgar, I am aware that there those in the US as well, but that for the most part they aren't whats popular over there
Don't worry Britney was just an example, you could've placed anyone else's name there instead, I don't hate her nor love her.
Oh and Koreans are another story, as they do in fact rely on western culture way too much for my taste
