We live in a world where people are so creative. The thoughts and depictions of the endless imagination of humans have been shown on television, pictures, and books and even in this article that I am writing. Without my imagination, I would have not been able to come to an opinion of feeling disgusted and utterly repulsed by what humans can produce. Our society has been so open to the thought of sex; it has been shown by many of our celebrities who perform to sell their products. Humans have created a market where sex can be shown on an adult rated video. But now, let’s add a little spin to it: humans also produced something called hentai. It’s a whole new world; it’s a whole new selection of sex. It’s anime (cartoon) characters having sex and it is selling off the shelves.
I guess I can see why it’s such a popular item for those who are interested in purchasing hentai products. With the use of the imagination, the illustrator can depict any sexual situation with any gesture or face. Any idea can be drawn on a cartoon and it can attract the buyer to satisfy their fantasy that they do not have the courage (or legal right) to do in a real life scenario. It’s a way for people to release this tension of sex and desires that have been suppressed.
Every time I think of this genre, it crushes my childhood a little. Why would I like to imagine Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask hooking up? It’s gross. I would never dream of my favourite cartoon characters having a sexually romantic life off screen. You know what else is revolting? Many of these anime characters are plotted in a story where they are under the age of 18. Funny, in real life, if you were to watch porn with people under the age of 18 in the video, you would be thrown in jail if the police found out. Just to stir things up a little bit, I forgot to mention that hentai also produces homosexual depictions as well, yaoi is constructed for gay depictions and yuri for lesbians. I never thought this market could expand even further, but it can, and I know it will. As long as society produces erotic fantasies, it’s going to be produced in hentai.
Take it away. Burn the existence of this nasty thing that people call art. Give me a break, nothing creeps me out more than the thought of people going into a studio and having to record the audio for the hentai porn that they are then going to sell on the shelves and actually make money from. It’s going to ruin a child. Better yet, it’s going to scar them into believing that their favourite characters from Pokémon are having secret sexual relations with each other while Pikachu is on the side watching. Rip it off the shelves and let me enjoy what the little childhood that I thought I had left. Don’t let it destroy yours.

Frankly i don’t see what the big deal is. It’s sex. yes it may be drawn and also animated but still it’s sex none the less, and anime hasn’t been the first to show this artistically you know. Sexual romances both older and underage and homosexual love and yes even time of rape has been shown in song poetry paintings. People have a right to read and watch what they wish and they’ll always have that right.
Sex is a natural and beautiful thing and it’s a shame that we live in a society where we must hide it away from the eyes of others or be condemned as perverts, and i know people will say what about the children they could so easily see it right? wrong! if a child pics of a hentai book at a comic shop the store owner will tell them to put it back because they are under age. If a child gets their hands on a film or book it is not the fault of the writers and artist and publisher…it’s the fault of the parent who chose to let them read it.
This is how i and many others see it, agree with me or not I don’t care but don’t condemn people for reading something that they enjoy.
