Funimation’s tendency to push a less than genuine translation for the sake of their agenda has continued, as their subtitles for the latest episode of Kawaiikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? (also known as Hensuki) have opted to translate the word “lolicon” into “pedophile”.
The scene in question involves the protagonist’s imouto discovering questionable reading material in his room, causing her to assume that he might be a “lolicon” – though Funimation chose to translate the word as “pedophile” instead (something they apparently do rather frequently):
This is a vital error as the two words are not equivalent; rorikon fantasize about fictional characters of the under-age sort by way of harmless (and often unrealistic) drawings and usually have no interest in actual children – pedophiles, however, lust after real children and likely will not hesitate to harm them.
Funimation’s decision to translate the word rorikon as such will no doubt cause confusion, especially since in a previous episode, they decided to decipher the word “loli” as “lolita”:
The company has been no stranger to pushing out questionable dub translations, as in the past they have called those who like erotic light novels “horny losers with mommy issues” and have even needlessly inserted a Gamergate quip into a show for seemingly no reason at all.
Many are probably waiting on bated breath to know what the dub will inevitably change the line to…
Funimation is cancer.
We’re all cancer. Funimation is just one tiny speck of the world.
Type 2 diabetes is cancer
Funimation is a company
Get your facts stright
Type 2 Diabetes is rendered irrelevant when the person loses weight. The same can’t be said for cancer. Since you brought medical stuff up, Type 2 Diabetes is self inflicted through poor dietary habits and being overweight.
A true America disease
“While the U.S. leads the league table of developed nations, in terms of the global league, it is in 60th position. This is because diabetes is sweeping through the Middle East, Caribbean, and Latin American regions, as well as the multiple nations making up the Pacific Islands”
Yes, “A true America disease”

Yes, “A true America disease”
It might also be from genetics
America is not as developed as japan, technology or societally… and thats evident… @00:16
Fag
The losers are those who pay for this s♥♥t. Pirate it and let Funimation die.
I miss the days when Fansubs were aplenty and DCMA was a joke. We got some good stuff back then.
Nowadays you wanna get these shitty licensees KyoAni’ed for all the s♥♥t they do.
Huh? There is plenty of fansubs everywhere.
There are no fansubs anymore, just people who edit CR or other official scripts.
But fewer and fewer every season.
*gives internet bro fist*
Came just to laugh at the angry p♥♥o weebs in the comment lmao
Indeed.
Have fun having no anime to watch cause no one pays for it and the animators have to get office jobs instead retard.
@09:15
We don’t have to pay for the anime to support the animators. We can pay for the merchandise straight from Japan to pay the animators and not one cent will go the SJW cucks in the West.
Back in the 80’s anime was prolific yet the public ain’t paying for it. Instead it was the SPONSORS who pay for what they hope to be a blockbuster. In the 90’s bootleg subs were all the rage, yet anime was still prolific. Why? Cuz anime was still quality back then, not these fast-food stuff they present nowadays.
GOLD shines cuz it’s gold. Retard.
The translation is wrong even if the words are slightly related. In this case it’s being used towards a teenager student aka, a fucking minor. You can’t be a FUCKING pedophile if you aren’t even an adult to begin with.
You shouldn’t use this kind of words lightly even if you are just trying to be funny.
I’d expect this kind of retarded translations from shitty meme fansub groups like commie, but seeing a “profesional” company selling a product like this is just embarrasing.
Funimation? Professional? Are you high?
He’s not wrong, read again.
He quote the word “professional” similar with “journalist” to point out the fact that these group of freaks actually get pay for the said job while pushing propaganda.
They get paid f♥♥k all. This is their coping mechanism. Don’t buy the companies s♥♥t.
They’re right, you know
People into l♥♥i are pedos though lol
You can absolutely be a minor and a p♥♥o, how the f♥♥k would you call a 15 yo lusting after a 6 yo?
I would call that normal.
Yeah that is medically a p♥♥o. You need to be at least 16 to be diagnosed with pedophilia, and the attraction needs to be towards kids 12 or younger (or was it 13?).
Reading again what I said, that’s actually not a p♥♥o because you said 15. Too young. lol Also looked up it’s attraction up to 13yo.
prepubescent
What about highly-respected fansub groups like a.f.k., who translated lolicon as “p♥♥o” in Lucky Star back in 2007?
You can be a pedophile if you are over 15 and the object of your lust is at least 5 years younger than you and under 13
of course a teenager can be a pedophile. Pedophilia has to do with pubescence not a synonym for underage.
A teenager who only wants to bone 6yo boys is totally a p♥♥o my dude.
Minor cannot be a p♥♥o, because he is not adult.
Wow the number of pedophile being outed in the comment section is insanely high.
Always knew weebs are closet pedophile sugarcoating their questionable sexual attraction as lolita complex.
Not knowing that it was a russian term invented by a novelist describing one fictional man with deep sexual obsession to a literal 12y.o.
Wake up y’all. Lolicon is not a standalone japanese term. It’s nothing more than a derivative from pedophile.
And LOL agenda. No, it’s not hidden agenda that pedophile is abbhorent, its fucking obvious.
>No, it’s not hidden agenda that pedophile is abbhorent, its fucking obvious.
ok buddy retard. There is nothing wrong with lolicon/pedophile who doesn’t consume cp or touch kids like most of lolicon. lol
Even if you put it in qoutations, funi stopped being professional when they let the feminist commandos in their house without a shootout.
I read that as retarded.
> You can’t be a pedophile if you aren’t even an adult
Yes, you can. It would be unacceptable for a 16 year old to have relations with an 8 year old. I don’t think funimation is wrong with the translation.
This is one of those things that people simply can’t accept are true. If you are a Lolicon, you are, or at least have, pedophilic tendencies.
No, because it would also be unacceptable for 8 y.o. fucking another 8 y.o. Sex is considering taboo for minors regardless of their age.
subs are for dumb people anyway
Says the guy who can’t read a lick of moon
yes you can you sick f♥♥k
who cares, it’s similar anyway
Hey look an offended uncultured f♥♥k. In Japan internet s♥♥t is used lightly all the fucking time. That’s why its a fucking joke to begin with that people use all the time. A minor can’t be a “pedophile”… If you’re saying that you are fucking retarded. If you’re in high school and you like 3rd grade children you people will call you a pedophile and can because its a fucking JOKE. You’re one of those fucks that only translates hentai=anime porn. Hentai in Japanese means sick bastard or you’re sick in the head or you are extremely perverted. Those are offending words but people use it all the fucking time in Japan because they can take those fucking jokes lightly. Its in the fucking culture. Now shut the f♥♥k up and go get offended from correct translations elsewhere
You said it yourself dumb faggot. Words have different connotations in different cultures. Lolicon is a derogative term in Japan but it’s far from being on the same level as pedophile is on the west.
If you start screaming Allah Ackbar in Asia nobody will give a single f♥♥k and they’ll just think you are retarded and annoying. If you do it in America or Europe you are gonna see a fuckton of people suddenly getting the f♥♥k away from you.
For folks confusing Japanese usage of words like hentai with international usage, some Japanese terms used internationally have diverged from original usage (especially terms used for longer internationally), same for English terms used in Japanese, compare pants & pantsu.
Equating lolicon with pedophile is similar to puritanism that violent media causes real world violence.
The relatively few folks that confuse reality & fiction &/or mimic destructive behaviour they see already have some mental problem due to poor upbringing, illness, etc.
You could have saved yourself some time and just wrote, “REEEEEEEE!”
Do the world a favor, make a family gathering, and end your family line before your retardation spreads any further…
First you need to change your tampon. Second the translation is not correct at all.
your autism is showing faggot
do you touch kids and call it a joke?
RL little girls are gross!
3DPD!
Funimation’s subs and dubs are crap anyway, remember Dragon Maid’s dub?
And Hajime no Gal and Prison School.
“This is a vital error as the two words are not equivalent; lolicon fantasize about fictional characters of the underage sort by way of harmless (and often unrealistic) drawings and usually have no interest in actual children – pedophiles, however, lust after real children and will not hesitate to harm them.”
LOL, are you serious? I thought western otaku got over this misconception years ago. The word “lolicon” (ロリコン) literally means pedophile in Japanese. If someone is attracted to children, whether in real life (for example, child idols) or cartoons, they are a lolicon. Only in the west have they bastardized the word “lolicon” to mean “sexual drawings of children”, and now people who like “sexual drawings of children”. For all of Funimation’s faults, they are actually correctly translating this for once.
ARE YOU SERIOUS @17:40
Don’t you know the difference between pedophilia and pedophile you fucking retard or even fucking difference between lolicon and pedophilia?
Let me explain to your simple mind since you’ve got these two fucking words mixed up like a fucking twat. Pedophilia is attraction to young “Children”
, lolicon is attraction to young girl, so already the translation is wrong. Pedophile is you’ve actually cause abuse to the child disregarding the fucking gender. So the translation is fucking wrong period.
Instead of acting like a fucking retard and so called know-it-all how about before fucking posting while sucking your own fucking dick off, go to google and type these words in do some fucking research then post it. From that post your probably the translator defending his own retarded work who doesn’t even understand fucking English language.
No hetrofaggot shat, you just assumed, thus you got the wrong fcker. You got played by someone else. Can’t even tell the difference huh, twatmuppet? Happenes all the time to self rightous fcks like you, always wanting to tell others how to live, just like them GOP and DNC fake moral police.
Part of what 17:40 was trying to referr to is probably this,
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AD%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9, different cultural context, but you sure knows all about it ay?
And your English is some hot shat trash when you REEEE too, just like everyone else. My excuse was KyoAni and Panda, a place none of you anime-hating poser fcks knew, and that was a good thing. What is your sorry excuse? At least I EARNED my papers from some the the best schools, just like that MAGA guy, maybe, and I EARNED my tuitions too.
At least you are not one of thost alt-right anime-hating trolling fckers who are always on here hating on something they don’t even know,.
So you have buyers or viewer regret for the few series you own or freeloads, good for you. Now go have a wank and piss off.
Or maybe you are one of those chickenshat fcks who always plays turncoats when they are caught.
Oh I see now, you got triggered and REEE because this “”western otaku” term? Go get a real reason to get triggered.
Actually you normiefags @17:40, @21:23, and @21:53 are completely wrong about lolicon. The term lolicon actually only for using on media like anime, manga, doujin, and the like. Its for using with fictional characters, drawing, pixels, etc, and for using with someone who like the media.
Here an example. Ever heard about Comic LO (Lolita Only)? It’s a h-manga focus on l♥♥i characters and the ones who like the magazine are lolicon.
Here some more evidence from Lolicon article on wikipedia.
“Lolicon is Japanese discourse or media focusing on the attraction to young or prepubescent girls. The term lolicon is a portmanteau of the phrase “Lolita complex”; it describes an attraction to young or prepubescent girls, an individual with such an attraction, or lolicon manga or lolicon anime, a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are often depicted in an “erotic-cute” manner.
Laws have been enacted in various countries, including in Japan, which regulate explicit content featuring children or childlike characters. Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, have made it illegal to possess lolicon.
Generally, manga and anime featuring lolicon include sexual attraction to younger girls or to girls with youthful characteristics. Individuals in each group respond sexually to visual images of children and young people in distinct and narrow age ranges.
Strictly speaking, Lolita complex in Japanese refers to the paraphilia itself, but the abbreviation lolicon can also refer to an individual who has the paraphilia.
“Lolicon” is also used to refer directly to the products, anime or manga that contains explicitly sexual or erotic portrayals of prepubescent girls.” Lolicon on wiki.
In conclusion you normiefags are retarded and can’t even tell the different between reality (pedophile) and fiction (lolicon).
@11:53 I’m sure most people here would agree that the loser here is the one that have no counter argument like you and can only scream “you’re wrong! but I don’t have anything to back up my word though” lol.
@07:18 All you doing here is just discredit the article by telling us it not a reliable source while telling us to believe you, some completely retarded person who have no evidence and can’t use any logic at all. Really? Yeah, sure. LOL. I already consume Japanese media like this for more than two decades so I’m pretty sure the article was right and I was right. 😉
Oh, btw I’m a lolicon and consume almost all the genres like yuri, trap, etc, just not the extreme ones like guro, scat, and the like though. I actually hate real kids. Real kids are ugly, dirty, annoying, bitching, stupid. What to like about them? Ever heard about 3DPD? It’s became a thing for a reason.
“Pedophilia is you fantasized or have sexual arousal for child sex which closely relates to the l♥♥i, l♥♥i and shota are both gender specific.”
Here, you even said it yourself that it’s not the same thing but it’s “closely relates” to each other while trying so hard to change the meaning of the word and link them together. You’re so retarded lol.
If you really hate pedophlie and care about it that much then I suggest you to start do something like start killing the actual pedophile like Jews. Maybe starting with Jeffrey Epstein, Nicole Junkermann and everyone that involved in the PizzaGate. If you didn’t know they’re currently DDOSing Voat for exposed them about the PizzaGate and about crimes that Israel did.
Glad to read smart comments. You’re a hero.
@23:36
Wikipedia is not a reliable source and never has been because people can change it on a whim and don’t you remember the old term Pedobear and Chris Hansen. Too many young people on this site.
“In conclusion you normiefags are retarded and can’t even tell the different between reality (pedophile) and fiction (lolicon).”
Again you’ve made the wrong conclusion and acted like a twat, Pedophile is you’ve already caused harm to the child look the fucking definition up you fucking idiot, Pedophilia is you fantasized or have sexual arousal for child sex which closely relates to the l♥♥i, l♥♥i and shota are both gender specific.
You fucking normies always make the same mistake.
from https://kotobank.jp/word/Lolita+complex-663975
abnormal psychology to feel only sexual desire in young girls and girls. A word by Nabokov ‘s novel ” Lolita ” depicting a man who loves Lolita girl. Lolicon .
imagine effortposting, defending your kid-fucking fetishes on an anon message board lmao you fucking loser
same s♥♥t LUL
Agreed. Too bad in the West pedophile has the connotation of having inappropriately touched a real-life child, thus all this butthurt going around.
You are wrong. There is a clear difference between liking drawn and real children. So it’s not the same. If if you come up with the argument that looking at such stuff may lead to harming a child in RL later on it still doesn’t mean that it will happen and there is no proven connection (no studies, just assumptions). So it remains a thoughtcrime. Minority Report anyone?
You are all wrong because you assume to know what both words mean.
A Pedophile is a person with TENDENCIES TOWARDS BEING ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN.
The person doesn’t even need to be someone who committed a crime against a child.
Lolicon is a person who is infatuated by little girls, also doesn’t require to commit any crimes, and often enough lolicons don’t even engage with their “targets”, majority simply stalk and observe, collect items that were discarded etc, they are in essence obsessive about little girls and their lives. They’d sooner kill someone who would harm their “target” rather than harm them themselves, targets of lolicons are often regarded by lolicons as “persons under their protection” or a VIP. Of course there will be some that harm their “targets” but that’s typical and to be expected of stalkers. Lolicons generally are not interested in a real sexual relationship with their targets or any other children because they are objects or personas of worship.
This doesn’t mean lolicons are harmless, they can be dangerous, but rarely they mean any harm to their “targets”.
Unlike Pedophiles however, you can distinguish specific “levels” of lolicon.
starting from people who simply find lolis cute and adorable without any implications ending with the most obsessive stalkers you can find pretty much anywhere in Japan or South Korea nowadays.
There’s should also be a distiction between Pedophiles and Child Abusers (molestations, sexual abuse and so on).
For comparison: Nobody with 2 braincells would accuse a fan of action, suspense, horror, crime and/or splatter movies to actually be in danger of running amok. Millions of people watch all kinds of violent movies, without ever turning violent. Same goes for fans of certain fetishes, including lolicons.
No, I’m not wrong, the OP has accurately described the actions of a pedophile. Look –
“[A pedophile] is a person who is infatuated by little girls, also doesn’t require to commit any crimes, and often enough lolicons don’t even engage with their “targets”, majority simply stalk and observe.”
I’m sure that most pedos don’t commit crimes. It doesn’t stop them being a p♥♥o. Just because a lolicon does not commit a crime, it does not stop them being a p♥♥o.
The crime distinction is unnecessary. We are dealing with pedophiles here.
You’ve described the actions of pedophiles perfectly. It’s all innocent infatuation until they r♥♥e kids. Your need to delineate “innocent” pedophiles and b guilty pedophiles using the word “lolicon” is pathetic and unnecessary.
You’re the one that completely wrong. There’re actual studies about this topic. Like this one:
“l♥♥i, ANIME IMAGES DON’T LEAD TO SEXUAL ASSAULT AGAINST REAL CHILDREN, SAYS DANISH REPORT” OAG’s article.
“To conclude, there is to our knowledge still no scientific studies that directly casts light on the presented questions. Therefore, there is also no documentation that use of fictional pictures of sexual assaults on children, or use of sex-dolls that look like children, i.e. use of materials produced and utilized with actual children being exposed to violations, alone can lead people to commit sexual assaults on children. Research furthermore indicates that people who exclusively deal with pornographic pictures of children has a lower risk of recidivating, and a small risk of being convicted of contact-assault, compared to those who already has convictions for contact-assault and pornographic pictures of children. Whether possession of fictional pornographic pictures of children and/or sex-dolls increases or decreases the risk of new criminality, we know very little about at the current time.
If one presumes that there are similarities with what has been found in the study regarding use of porn, film and computer games with violent content, and pictures with violence, it can be assumed that there is a group, who is sexually attracted to children, where fictional child porn and sex-dolls can act prophylactically to activities where children are directly involved. But there is probably also a group, whereof many have previous convictions, where such fictional material can contribute to a continuation of the deviant interest in children.”
Lies. In Japan actual child porn is illegal. But 2D l♥♥i can be purchased.
Yep. Because it’s not the same thing.
But some of the retards in here saying drawings are the same with real kids.
I’m all on the “Let’s hate Funimation” train but yeah, lolicon==pedophile. Any weebs here want to come to Japan and tell people about being lolicon, see how people react lol. l♥♥i is legal but you’re still looked at like a weird f♥♥k if you talk about it.
“come to Japan” Yeah okay weeb. It’s obvious you don’t live there, as you miss the entire cultural implications of words. Tell someone in America that you’re a pedophile. They will call the cops. Pedophiles are ALWAYS considered as people who will go out an physically abuse kids. It’s an extremely negative connotation, borderline admitting criminal intent. Go to Japan and tell someone you’re a lolicon. They’ll either laugh, or if they take you seriously, just give you a disgusting look because your fetish is fucked up. The difference is connecting reality with fiction, and that’s the absolute difference. Now stop fucking multi posting comments on everyone you disagree with as if that’ll hammer down your point and change some opinions, when in reality it makes you look like a tryhard faggot.
“I, Pedophile is a Canadian documentary film about men who are sexually attracted to children, but do not commit sexual offenses.[1] It was first broadcast in 2016 and was nominated for best social/political documentary program.[2]
The film introduces Bob Radke and Ed Chambers, two pedophilic men who openly acknowledge that they experience sexual attractions to children, but state that they have never molested one. They live their lives suppressing their sex drives, but still face being stigmatized and marginalized. ”
Nuff said , delusional idiot
Exactly. Funimation for once isn’t wrong. Word it however you want, l♥♥i/p♥♥o are both sick fucks that should be exterminated.
Nope, your moral outrage is irrelevant. Lolicon is specific about girls, is relevant to the contexts of the scene, and is already a karakana word. There was no reason to translate it. The word lolita was coined in the west, there is no need to change it into something else.
f♥♥k you.. you coward posting anonymously!
Shut the f♥♥k up closet child pornography collector
Someone said something I didnt like so he must be a p♥♥o
Keep cruing you triggered p♥♥o dweeb.
i like how everyone brings up like two irrelevant lines of a bad meme moe comedy series as a point to judge all of funi’s dubs. of course, people who like s♥♥t like dragon maid probably never watched baccano and YYH anyway, so what would they know?
No it shows they don’t proof read there own work, remember your paying for these dubs.
>muh baccano
Go the f♥♥k back into the oblivion of history, granny.
Funi being completely s♥♥t as always, just pirate it and let them die.
