Threads being deleted

[MooseBreath]

Yes I know this comes up all the time, which tells its own story imo, but whatever, can someone explain precisely on what basis my thread about the article on the BBC about the japanese people got deleted?

I have read the forum rules thoroughly and that thread contained not the merest suggestion of a rule being broken. So please moderator can you cone forward and explain what was wrong, just so that I and others can refrain from wasting our time trying to start interesting conversations only to have you come in and delete threads for no apparent reason.

Thanks in advance

Yours in my most sincerest form,

Moosebreath

I'm surprised you're not glad it was deleted, given you were making a complete tit of yourself.

Is 'it was pointless and stupid' a valid reason?

How is a link to an article on the BBC making a tit of myself?

Thought the strange world of Japanese sexuality was an interesting thing to discuss. Obviously the BBC agrees, hence the article, but on here it's unacceptable? I don't get it.

Calling it 'the acceptable face of paedophilia', when it was nothing of the kind might have something to do with it.

It is an interesting topic for debate but you had no interest in a debate. You just wanted to go "LOOK EVERYONE, JAPAN IS MAKING PEDOPHILIA COOL!" knowing full well that's not what the article said in an attempt to provoke reactions off people.

It was just lazy trolling that made you look faintly xenophobic. I wouldn't have deleted it personally but it's obvious why a mod may have done and acting all indignant for attention (because you know it's a popular topic lately) just makes you look even more desperate.

But then I'm responding so what do I know!

It has a 38 year old bloke dating a fictional 15 year old, it was hardly an outrageous comment. The whole thing is pretty creepy at best.

You're taking it more personally than you should because you know I know you're into Japanese culture and you suspect I might have been trying to get a rise out of you or something. I wasn't. Japanese men are favouring 'relationships' with childlike virtual characters over real women. Come on, even you can admit that it's totally fvcking weird.

You did try and paint the picture of paedophilia being accepted in Japan when that clearly isn't the case. You started it to fuel your agenda against the left which does get rather frustrating to have to put up with. Having said that I wouldn't have deleted the thread personally.

Did the article say that the bloke was dating a fictional 15 year old? I don't think so.

And isn't the age of consent in Japan lower than 15 anyway? (Genuinely don't know)

Aren't we even allowed to make tits of ourselves anymore?

The only difference between Japanese culture and ours when it comes to socially awkward, sexually deprived oddballs is we have a billion dollar porn industry dressing up increasingly young-looking teenagers to look like school girls and - in typical Japanese style - they've turned it im to a cartoon computer game instead.

Seriously, is sitting at home wanking off to "barely legal teens" in pink cotton pants with braces on and pigtails that much weirder?

[purpleronnie]

Yes but too many people milk it.

You make it sound like otaku culture is socially acceptable, it isn't.

Being otaku is the Asian equivalent of the weed, seedy geeks over here that are mocked, avoided and never get laid.

I'm not taking it "personally" in the slightest, you obviously WERE fishing for a reaction and most likely from me. But I'm quite happy and amused watching you hang yourself. Desperately trying to backpedal and pretend you were being more reasonable than that because you've not quite got the wave of support you were hoping for.

Maybe moose could repost it, because that's what I thought it said. I have no idea on the age of consent over there.

we're turning into a fascist lactatorship

You have to be more subtle though and dress it up as keeping abreast with the times.

[MooseBreath]

You started it to fuel your agenda against the left which does get rather frustrating to have to put up with.

What? The only way you could read anything political into that is if you think lefties might be inclined to go in for that kind of perversion. I certainly didn't intend to suggest anything of the sort, but it's interesting that you made the connection

No its not much stranger, and clearly the culture is very different. I still don't see how he is making a for out of himself though.

That's the kind of contribution I expected. So we could have started from something that looks weird and maybe by the end of the thread we might have learned something and all be that little bit wiser and more knowledgeable. But no. We're not allowed to do that.

[Zingari]

It's just another storm in a D cup. Moosey may have his knockers , but it wasn't a boob to post the article 

[leicsmac]

We do have a pretty messed up country in terms of sexual repression. It's the whole Puritan "no sex please, we're British" thing.

 

As for the article itself - similar repression, acting itself out in a different (and pretty odd) way. Finn has a point with his comparison.

 

The age of consent in Japan is 13, apparently.

You've spoken a number of times about your dislike of 'Muslim paedo gangs' and furthermore how you detest 'the left's willingness to allow such things to go unnoticed.'

 

Personally I don't associate lefties with the toleration of paedophilia but you've made it abundantly clear that you do.

[Finnegan]

Well like I said, I wouldn't have deleted the thread personally but you could argue the mod did the right thing given you've been far more reasonable in this thread than you were in the last.

Wanking off to cartoon characters is weirder than anything I've come across in porn.

 

I'm glad it's not socially acceptable over there, anyone over 30 who has a cartoon character as his 15 year old girlfriend does need sectioning though.
