YDS'S PROFILE

So are Japanese people so “weird?”

Shadowtext somewhat addressed this, but many Japanese and East Asian youths tend to engage in an extremely rigorous education system. From the tender age of preschool, you already have to take annoying multi-choice examinations in order to guarantee admissions into good and well-rounded pre-schools, and it is up to those pre-schools to ensure you will get into a good elementary school. By the time you are 12, there is an even stronger increase in education during junior high school â€" or also known as “lower-secondary schools.” These admissions for the most part are purely based off of hard-core examinations. Yes, that's it. ABCD all day long, loves! Also, there is no fucking weekend. You have to go to school on Saturdays as well and summer vacation is no longer than a month or so. There is incredible weight on your examinations because unlike in the US where everything is sugarcoated in extra-curricular activities and volunteering, in order to get into college, you must take the entrance exam that the school offers. As you can imagine, it is incredibly stressful. Often times, parents will enroll their children into these after school cram classes where students sit there into the night and just read, study and cram.

Ironically, by the time most of them test into their secondary school, that's where the fun beings and most of them unleash all the pressures brought on them since they were practically toddlers. Though some people often times get pressured even beyond that point because you have to imagine that in Japan, there is very limited housing. Its not like America where once you turn eighteen, you can leave and find a place elsewhere. Its very, very crowded and limited, so its not uncommon for a young adult to live under the super vision of their parents for a very long time. When I was still around that area, I lived in Osaka, which is still a huge city of its own, but it was barely twenty minutes away from Tokyo. It's a little hard to get out of the circle of pressure and demands.

The culture is extremely rigid and puts incredible emphasis on modesty, politeness and strict discipline. The “weird fetishes” that you see are just outputs from far too much input on a group of people.

Why are Asian women boring during sex?

I fairly went over this before, that's the expectation. In other countries, women are suppose to have that chastity shit going for them, even though they are expected to be subservient. Well, in many Asian cultures back in the ol' days, that expectation went beyond your daytime manners.

I recall reading a classic scene in the story Tales of Genji, based off of real accounts the author, Murasaki Shikibu, who lived during Feudal Japan, the man character Hikari Genji feels horny all of a sudden and he walks into town and sees a beautiful woman by the window. He enters her room and demands to rape her. She does not fight back, she does not say anything besides, “Please make sure they don't hear.” That's because the ideal Asian women from a traditional standpoint absolutely must be small, weak, quiet and submissive at all times (heh, compensation must?).

Also, I'd like to make the note that this is definitely not applicable to all Asian countries. In the Himalayan and many tribal areas which you would assume to be more "conservative" and "traditional" - heh, its the women that engage in polygamy, otherwise known as polyandry. Yep, women are the dominate gender and they command the men all around. Aggressive? You bet.

Mind you, I find your post still incredibly offensive and irritating to the max, and I am still wondering what the fuck you are trying to say and imply, but I hope you have your explanation.

Oh, by the way, in modern times, there has definitely been a huge backlash over the issue. The other day I was perusing through CNN and found this interesting story: http://www.8asians.com/2008/07/02/the-white-butlers-cafe-for-japanese-women/


Now I hope some nice fellow do me a favor and lock this thread. I doubt anymore meaningful banter will follow.

Like?

Um, because women were percieved as being "inferior" and should be quiet back then? Gee, I dunno.

I figured as much, but women have been in historically similar status all throughout the world, and it seems that only Asian women in particular have been depicted as being overly submissive, quiet, boring, and overall uninterested in sex.

(BTW these thoughts don't necessarily reflect my personal opinion, just discussing here)

Because the quiet, agreeable and obedient Asian woman is the culture's version of Marilyn Monroe. ::)

HEY BUDDY,

How 'bout checking the stickied topics? They are there for a reason.

The Longest Journey ... is a pretty common title. I know another excellent RPGmaker game that already has that title for the past few years.

Sorry buddy.
