I’m not quite clear on what shonen means. Cartoons for boys?

threegnomes,

A genre of Japanese comics and animated films aimed primarily at a young male audience, typically characterized by action-filled plots.

Could be worse. They could be the love interest of a western protagonist and get fridged for character development

Not giving a fuck about “manliness” and gender norms is alpha af bro

Seriously, the opposite screams insecure masculinity.

Honestly with a million dollars you could just become a cis-passing trans girl and still have at least $800,000 left to spend, if not >$950,000. Or in other words, the button gives you a 1% chance of only you becoming a girl, versus a 99% chance of you and at least four others becoming girls, assuming that you spend the remainder of your wealth on funding other girls’ transitions. Though you could just as well spend that money on funding trans advocacy and medical research or other sorts of long-term investment.

From that perspective, the 1% chance seems like a loss. What does “become a girl” even mean? Are you transported into the timeline where you were AFAB? Are you transported into the timeline where you had a botched circumcision and your parents decided to raise you as a girl despite being told not to? Is your body just magically poofed into a cisfeminine phenotype? Is this the timeline where you transitioned MTF but did so before puberty? Is this just the same as transitioning MTF but now the folks who won the million dollars are sponsoring your transition? Is this the same as transitioning MTF but all of society has with a snap of the fingers unlearned all transphobia, getting rid of the social and material barriers to transitioning?

There are so many questions one can ask about this premise, like, “What would it mean for me to have been AFAB? Same zygote but with a random AR mutation? Do I keep my old memories from when I was a boy?”, or, “If I was circumcised, and have my genitals magically transformed, have my new genitals undergone type 1a FGM? What happens to my secondary sex characteristics?”, or, “If I’m magically transformed, is my ID also magically changed? Does God drop down some boxes of tampons and new clothes from the heavens above?”.

I would ask the maker of the button to write some very clear terms of service, because this seems like it could be a real monkey’s paw…

Only 1% chance? The odds are against me but i would press anyway

bleistift2, in This my friend, is what we call a win-win

The question boils down to: Is being a girl/woman today, where you live, so bad that it takes more than 99 million dollars to make up for it?

Duke_Nukem_1990, in This my friend, is what we call a win-win

Would press it a hundred times

aeternum,

I'd push it a million times. I could be ultra girl.

I’m awake, and that is everyone’s problem.

sigmaklimgrindset, in Change my mind

Is this a controversial opinion? I thought this was a popular view of SnK since 2013

Not really, I don’t think. Mostly it’s just a funny thought.

DavidGarcia, in Average Japanese animator:

100% of the fan service containing shows could just be adult cast. I don’t understand why that’s so hard. More adult cast shows in general would be nice. Why’s everyone gotta be a highschooler, man?

jaschen, in Average Japanese animator:

I’m going to get flamed here, but my personal thoughts are that if someone can get their rocks off looking at these cartoons of underage girls and it’s enough to satiate their desire that they don’t do it in real life, then I don’t mind it at all. Heck, I even strongly encourage it.

It’s a victimless crime. Just let them have it if it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Edit: VICE did a great video about this. I encourage you guys to check it out. youtu.be/Ky3HqvT3M8E?si=RqYHZ5EfSN5M2liw

usualsuspect191,

Has there ever been an established correlation between people who’re into underage animated characters and real underage people? It could easily be two completely or almost completely separate groups of people so it might not be helpful at all. Still not harmful either I suppose as I tend to be in the camp of no victim= no crime…

wandermind,

When I started watching anime, the characters were my age. Now I’m significantly older, but I still like similar characters than I used to in a similar way than I used to.

I’ve also seen Japanese schoolkids in real life, and while I find them adorable the same way I find any kids adorable, I have absolutely zero interest in them in the way I do towards the fictional characters. They are two completely different things for me now.
