The revelation that flat goddess Nagi-sama, of Kannagi, had a boyfriend and thus may not in fact be a virgin has provoked a storm of outrage on 2ch, with obsessive fans vowing to throw out their manga, cancel their dakimakura orders, etc. Otaku viciously proclaim they have no need of a “second-hand” wife.
Others hold this to be the era of Zange-chan, available for a mere ¥100 a go…
The problem stems from a few lines in the latest chapter:
There’s no need to go into spoiling detail on the rest (not that there really is any).
Their histrionics are seen as all the more ridiculous considering no actual allusion to sex has even been made, just the introduction of an “ex-boyfriend character”.
It is also noted that those complaining are the main audience for all manner of interesting doujin works…
About the only worthwhile point raised is that the timing of such a revelation (if indeed it is such, and not merely the obsessive ravings of a thousand NEET virgin hunters) seems odd, given that it arrives just in time to coincide with the DVD release and therefore have a deleterious effect on sales, assuming such otaku are numerous enough to have an impact. Possibly there is some mistake?
Another interesting point raised is that for a thousand-year-old goddess to be a virgin might just be the more objectionable, though perhaps not to otaku.
You can read the relevant portions of the thread here.
Perhaps these wretches would like to file for a virtual divorce?
I hope that statement of Nagi having a “lover” is merely a result of wrong translation. In my language, word used for “lover” means that this person definetely had sex with the discussed one. In original version they could mean a little other thing, such as simply “guy” or “boyfriend” without that kind of relations. And as someone already stated, you can’t tell could our understanding of “virginity” be used towards gods of nature or not. And moreover, Nagi is approximately older than 60 (considering that people started to worship her from the beginning of WW2), why the hell do youthink she had to stay innocent all this time? Also, Nagi has split personality, just like Zange/Hakua. Maybe Nagi-goddess just did overcome and get the hold of mind and body of Nagi-spirit and only she was both mentally and physically in love with Ozuma, and not usual tsundere Nagi. Why didn’t you think of that? Don’t lose heart, guys! What we really have to do is to pray Eri to recover completely and draw Kannagi not monthly, but weekly, as usual.
Shana in Shakugan no Shana had a boyfriend too. I was mad…for 10 seconds and then I remembered it was fiction. CHARRR!
Why not make up your own fantasy girlfriend instead of crying whenever an artist changes something about his _own_ creation. That way, she’ll be everything that you want her to be and you will never be disappointed. She can even have a regenerative hymen! Reach for the stars, my friend!
There is something eerie about Otaku behavior as well. It’s as if they expect women to be like little dolls that can be customized to suit their needs. It’s a good thing that those freaks will never carry on their twisted genes or disturb a poor women with their delusional fantasies.
This Victorian era bullshit is why I hate otaku/2ch (I don’t frequently read any sites that talk about 4ch, so I don’t know if this same prudish attitude prevails there as well. Most likely it does.).
They’re almost like fundamentalist Muslims or Christians in their shitty sensibilities.
I wonder why girls have to be virgin to be “pure” or “clean”..whatever.. While boys (including all the otakus getting angry over this whole thing) can have (or wish to have) sex with several girls without being a man-whore or becoming “unclean”. You otakus probably wish to have sex with some girl/character, or several.. So why can’t other girls/characters do the same?
Also.. If otakus are so damn picky on getting a whife/girl friend that is still virgin, they ether got to hurry the hell up, get out of the house and find one before they lose their virginity, or becoming too “impure” for them. Stop being so damn picky and find a nice girl they can spend their life with, even if shes not a virgin. Or die without ever experiencing sex.. xP
