I am an English Literature teacher, and I just
happen to enjoy Anime. One of my favorite shows
is Card Captor Sakura. I don't watch it because I
fantasize about molesting twelve-year-old girls.
I simply happen to enjoy the show, and there is
nothing perverted about that. In training to
become a teacher, we are forced to confront this
issue in Educational Psychology. What I gather
from research is that the media has little to do
with one's predisposition to sexual deviance.
Most of these people have been shown to suffer
from various problems, either frontal lobe
damage, an abusive childhood, or a stifled sexual
nature as an adolescent. As Evilminion said,
having fantasies is a healthy outlet, whether it
be violent or sexual in nature. I suggest that
instead of worrying about this problem, you
discuss this with your kid. Tell him/her how to
be safe when out on their own so they will not
fall prey to the real threat that lurks out
there, instead of filling their heads with
nonsense and telling them that every guy who
watches shoujo anime is a pervy |
