Probably a easier hustle to do the whole NUT thing.
Also poking holes in a condom, shit is crazy.

It also says that he compared gay marriage with bestiality and pedophilia in a speech. Obviously something is wrong upstairs.
I've turned down the opportunity to be the guy you speak of for years. I turned it down in college to my detriment. I turned it down as a church member because I have principles that preclude me from that line of thinking. That fuckboy route pays. Patrice O'Neal said it best when he opined on the WTF Podcast that he wishes he could be that dude but he can't. Cleveland ain't shit but it raised me with some principles.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
fan service haters get no love from me.
embrace it. y'all post all kinds of hot women threads etc but the minute a game or anime bust out fan service it get hits with the I cant relate vibe.

I dunno man. countless crotch/ass/titty shots of someone that's supposed to be in high school just because, a suit that is the most obvious attempt at otaku worship, on top of scenes heavily hinting and joking about sexual molestation aint really the same as posting a pic of a hot woman.
If I want fan service I'll watch a porno, not look at anime and hope I catch a titty.
That and I officially can never be seen watching this anime with the amount of fan service in it. I mean I was already a closet anime dude, but with this I gotta make sure no one ever catches me watching this shit.
i like fan service. Mankind likes his titillation in all forms. all. forms. So whatever. I'm not uptight about it. I did see the image of her transformation and have to laugh and say "oh, Japan", though. Because, look at it. But they've been doing that since Sailor Moon so it's more like a callback than anything. Nothing to really deserve real shame.
Some things go too far though.

I don't think y'all know what fan service is. fan service is doing a service to your fans, like putting in something that's been highly requested not titties and ass. That's just sexualization unless the fans asked for titties and ass.

I don't think people realize what fan service is.
Regardless, its pretty obvious at this point that over the top everything and sexualization of everyone is a planned theme of the show so far.

Damn slay, didn't know you was a light skin nigga. No wonder you're always trying to say something deep.
Fan service, at least from the way it's commonly known around gaf and the internet is loads of titties and ass requested by crazy otaku's. The one time I've heard fan service directly referenced by the creators of an anime(I believe it was an episode of Evangelion) they were talking about putting more titties and ass on the screen. It may mean doing a highly requested thing from your fans, but it seems that since the whole sexualization thing tends to be the one thing that is overwhelmingly asked for in many anime's its become the default go-to meaning for the term.
Second episode is worse. There's a dude that they pretty much hint that he was molesting her or something worse while she was sleeping.

Fan service is literally anything added to a product that was requested/clamored for by the fans. It can be literally anything. Having a fan favorite character appear after being gone for years is fan service. Characters wearing a certain outfit can be considered fan service. Characters saying certain quotes can be considered fan service. Certain music playing can be considered fan service. You guys are trying to make it more complicated than it is.

Fan service didn't originate through Evangelion at all. Evangelion was probably one of the clearest backhanded slaps to the face towards fans. From Shinji being the face of shitty fans everywhere to "Sike! That's actually your
mom
".It just seems so odd in a show like Kill la Kill when everything - the action, the dialogue, the personalities, the abstract animation, the scope, and the setting itself - are so incredibly extreme that the sexuality would be something to be harped on. Its supposed to be there. Its written around, commented on heavily, characters react, and it clearly appears to be a recurring theme in the show. Its very self-aware. That's the thing. I'm not even a fan of Panty & Stocking, but that show was basically Japan's South Park. I couldn't call that pure fan service either. Why? Because that's what its intended to be.
Fan service is when you're watching a show and in the middle of a more serious arc, there's suddenly a need for a trip to the beach and everyone has their cans out, posing. Better yet, when a character suddenly gets 6 more cup sizes. Or when you're watching Macross and a girl drops her cellphone into her lap right as she gets a phone call and has an orgasm right next to a guy she likes because why the fuck not. Or when a studio is given a great premise for a show and before it even gets to production there is a push to switch the majority of characters to women, turn things into a harem, and have them all as naked as possible while expecting to be taken seriously - which is entirely different in KlK because even the main character can't take herself seriously while wearing that shit. (Which is funny because they work with this a hell of a lot better than Yoko in Gurren Lagann who was fighting in a bikini just because reasons).
I agree. But that's generally... vague. There are things that people don't like, but there are definitely varying degrees of 'wrong' when it comes fan service.

I didn't say fan service originated through Evangelion, just that it's the one example I can think of where the term fan service was directly referenced by an anime creator in an episode and they referred it putting more titties and ass in the show. I was just using that as an example to show how fan service as a popular term is generally referred to sexualization requested by fans and not the general literal meaning.
I don't think KlK is a bad show. It's just that the absurd amount of sexuality put in the show of a bunch of 14 year olds is off-putting to say the least. It's clear that it's just a big joke considering everything else going on in the show, but what's also clear, at least going by the second episode, is that the sexuality aspect of it seems to be what they're primarily riding on and hoping what gets people hooked to watching the series. I mean compared to the stupidity of the MC's friend, the absurdity of the HS student council running the city and school uniforms giving students super powers, the titty/ass/crotch shots always seem to come front and center. Like, after the first episodes introduction of the main theme setting of the show, they just said 'fuck it' and decided to mainly ride on crotch shots and the MC getting molested every time she manages to run away from the antagonist. I dug episode 1, as that whole panty shot aspect was saved until she got the suit, which was pretty much 2/3rds into the show. The 2nd episode though cranks it to 11 and makes sure you dont miss a single shot of the MC getting into situations where she shows off something that would be considered sexualized fan service in another anime.(ie the doctor, when the MC hits the wall upside down with a pretty clear crotch shot, the main enemy getting defeated by her uniform being ripped off and having her defeated naked body lie over a spike, etc.) judging from ep.2 it seems like the absurdity of the shows world is beginning to take a clear backseat towards more panty/crotch shots, which was my problem with the episode more than anything else. I mean, even the shows intro in episode 2 places an emphasis on showing the MC and anatagonist naked and doing close up crotch/titty/ass shots of the MC's naked body.
I'm still gonna watch ep.3 because based on the 1st episode the show has potential and aside from ep.2's liberal use of panty shots, I still thought the rest of the episode was fairly funny. I'm just hoping they don't crank the creep meter to 11 again and make the 3rd episode revolve around how many situations can we put the main character in so that she shows off her ass and I don't have to explain myself to someone that walks in on me watching it and thinks im some weirdo creeper in training.
In other news, I'm finally watching Hajime no Ippo and Yu Yu hakusho. Now I know where Devo's random anime avatar came from.
I'd say the hyper-sexualization of 14 year olds would fit the bill. Satire or not, intentional or not, I still can't explain that shit to someone if they happen to see me watching it.
