Looks pretty damn skillful to me.

And then the tentacles appeared...

The above comments accurately reflect my journey through this video. (except that I've been a dirty old man since I was at least 15)

I am the gray cat.
Look at my enthusiasm.

Old crone feminist here.

The infantalization of women in Japan is deeply disturbing to me.

We do it here in America, too. Not to this degree.

I know this is supposed to be cute. Sorry to be such a bummer on a fun video.

Feminism means not demeaning women for their choices, doesn't it? She chose this style, which seems to be modeled after teenaged anime characters, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inu_×_Boku_SS
not infants and not young teenage prostitutes as some suggest. I don't think it was forced on her.

Ya...except she's not Japanese...so...stereotyping much?

No, I am not stereotyping. I am ill-informed.

I relied on the tags.

@bareboards2 yeah I find it cringe to watch

Yeah, but it's systemic. Just because minorities do crimes in the US does not mean they chose to. Being born into a culture that places you in a position can make you behave as though you chose, but did you really?

So wait...is it her dancing like a cute anime girl for attention that you say isn't a choice, or is it demeaning women who make different choices than yours (hers) in the name of feminism that isn't a choice, or are you saying there are no choices and all behavior is culturally driven so out of our hands?

Doing crimes is a choice, and one not monopolized by minorities. It may be your best option in your particular circumstances, but it's never the only option, it is definitely a choice.

Ppft, I say. Then why don't people all act the same in a given culture?
Culture may make certain choices socially acceptable or not, or personally beneficial or not, but you are responsible for your choices. Yes, you really choose, cultural acceptance and consequences may be part of how you form your decision, or not, but they don't make your decisions, they inform them. If culture was the only deciding factor, we would still be living in the bronze age where a girl this age would have no viable choice but to have had a few children by now and would likely be dead from complications of childbirth. Fortunately, many have chosen to ignore or contradict cultural norms so we have progressed as a society.

Woah, buddy -- you're going off the deep end with my argument and beating the poor straw man into a puff of dried grass. I'm not saying that everyone is a darn automaton following the whims of popular culture. I'm merely saying that there is a heavy pressure to do things because of culture. And because of Japanese kawaii culture, she gains a lot of social credit for performing in such a way.

Relax. Just beca

Ok, but YOU strongly implied she had NO choice with your extremely loaded question because of (not even her) culture. I strongly disagree, and explained my reasoning.

That's a long way from the argument that there are cultural pressures that influence choices, which is something I agree with.

Choosing to do something for "social credit" is a purely personal choice, not a societal requirement. That's what I'm saying.
