Mass Naked Child Events: Schoolchildren Can’t Spell Dog?

yeah i remember when i was TA in elementary school , we had girl who would often undress and start walking naked outside . Luckily never happened on my watch .

True true. Especially considering you can barely see any difference between the boys and the girls!

"then perhaps adult nudity needn’t be an issue either."
Naked people isn't strange nor automatically sexual. Especially not children. Obsession with naked people is creepy (e.g. the "violence GOOD! bare chest BAD!" crazy people), and people downright obsessed with what any pedos might think is doubly so.

"Upgrading" the bags made my day.

"we should just kill all children, its the best way to protect them from the world"

I don't think lower birth rate has anything to do with it, but rather with industrialization and the rise of the middle, urban and professional class.

Anyway, according to french philosopher Foucault in his "history of sexuality", since the end of the 18th century the west is literally obsessed about sex, well, rather, about any "deviations" about sex.

According to him, even when there were just "sins" against nature, it was just a judiciary thing, it was the same being adulterous or a pedophile or a rapist or homosexual. It was something that was punished, but "nothing" else.

But since the 18th century, under the pretense to erase all sex from life (what we know as victorianism), the truth is that there started to be many, many discoruses about sex, in fact an obsession.

Let's not forget that it's during the 19th century in Victorian England where the study of "paraphilias" started. It was like a species catalogue in biology. It was actually an obsession, to find the paraphile, to study their case, to classify them. Catch 'em all, one might say.

Foucault mentions that before the 18th century Erasmus even gave his disciples tips about visiting prostitues or that child sexuality was something at most funny, but no big deal -compare to the obsession about child masturbation in the 19th and 20th centuries. The same might surely go for this picture. Before victorianism it would just have been funny or weird in the west.

But in the 19th century it became taboo, although as a matter of fact the obsession of society about all kinds of sex soared.

Since Japan even if quite westernized is a different culture, the obsession about making these classifications doesn't apply. That's why in the west there are pedophiles and rapists and anything bad related to sex like unwanted pregnancy, AIDS or STDs under every rock. Because there is an obsession still lingering on, and despide any sexual revolution, and it happens not since the middle ages, but rather since the end of the 18th century.

Although, like everywhere, rapists and pedophiles exist in Japan, maybe more, maybe fewer, it doesn't matter, the discourses and obsessions about them aren't that important to society in comparison to the obsessed west. That's the difference.

For example, in Japan manga featuring minors having sex is something that don't attact people's attention. In the west, however, it would be prosecuted. But not only prosecuted and forgotten, on the contrary, there would be a "discourse" about it, in other words, it would appear on TV, always under this moralism, always seeming like it's such a bad, horrible thing, but in truth there's this lustful desire to talk about it. To talk about it a lot. Why would someone want to see drawings of minors having sex? Let's describe the type of scenes it had - never show them, of course, but tease the audience, and tease ourselves. Maybe the ones who buy it were molested when they were kids? It must have a cause, let's talk to a pyschiatrist.

Under moralism there's the need, the urge and the lust to know about it and to discuss it, to push what we say or show to the limits, to question others, to know.
