I dunno, white still blends in with a few things. Like the manga sequence in the first episode of FLCL, it was quite difficult to read on the US Blu-ray which uses white subs.Shouta said:
Considering I'm not an audiophile that doesn't bother me too much. It's not like I'm ever going to throw down for a sound system or fancy headphones anyways since I really can't tell the difference.Aigis said:
I can't really tell either but for the price they're charging I kinda force myself to care.InfiniteNine said:
I said innocence was a theme for lolis and was approached from several sides, from the violent, to pornographic, to tame. It's just a matter of literary mechanic. That says nothing to how well it works for you. You know what they say, one man's frilly magical girl garbage is another man's show-of-the-season.Uchip said:
No. She's basically watching everything I would if I had the time anyway. Also, she hated that first episode of Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, couldn't even finish it.InfiniteNine said:

Besides, Like hell I would let her browse around this thread with the likes of you and Tiff lurking it.
I'll only watch if Balmung is there to sip his sake in the cherry blossoms.Paprikka said:
Read up. Practically speaking, a loli character can serve a double purpose of deviant target of desire and/or woobie. Additionally, I'm talking about themes, not adjectives. I never said "innocent loli", I just mentioned that some situations would be for a young girl to keep or lose her innocence, or to just not have any in the first place. If the audience is thinking unclean thoughts about a loli character, that's on the audience isn't it, because other members of the audience (such as myself) can see a loli character without necessarily mentally sexualizing her. You like Madoka, don't you? There's alot of sexualizing in that show, but you don't necessarily need to see that, see?Uchip said:
It's funny how anime works that way.farnham said:

Yes, I've read the book by Nabokov. And I know what it means in Japanese fashion. And in English colloquialisms. They're 3 different things if you want to be strict. But Lolita is simply a short-hand way of saying girlish and innocent in Japan. Those with Lolita Complexes are sexually into those sorts of traits. Similar to how Siscons are into sisters, whether or not they have one. That doesn't make the word imouto sexualized. Reference point: Gothic Lolita is a popular fashion movement that aims to reproduce the popularized Victorian fashions for young girls. The fashion itself isn't inherently sexualized (though everything's a fetish yadda yadda), and yet it references young, cute, prepubescent girls. Loli is also used as shorthand for Western anime fans to really refer to any female character that seems somehow prepubescent, whether or not they actually are. Now, while there IS sexualization involved with lolis, it's more a consequence than an inherent aspect. I tend to see them as neutral figures, good or bad depending on their writing and how well they mesh with my expectations, cultural or otherwise. Really nothing all that different than any other character.Uchip said:
and do you even know the origin of the word loli?
or what lolicon means in japanese?
its unsavory and if you want to use it in any other way you are no better than basement otaku that use it because it sounds less fucked up than "prepubescent girl"
