Ayana Taketatsu and Fan Dumb

Then we can just all agree that this purity concept is related to religion? I agree with your reasoning. This explains it better since Japan did have a major religion a long time ago and has seeped into it's culture. Even though they claim they don't have a religion, the roots of the way they think is related to their culture and thus the concept is still there.

They claim to not have religion? Really? Never heard anything like that. Not from Japan, anyway. I've only heard it from some western folks who don't seem to understand the concept of a non monotheist religion. As far I know, Japan is a fairly religious country.

But, yeah, I think the root is in its religion. Since it is Shinto, specifically, if would explain why other Asians (like dRoy) don't get it either, as Shinto is unique to Japan.

Can I rephrase that? "The majority don't have a specific religion." They attend religious events as cultural events. But when it comes to defining a religion....

This is also something that root on the monotheist thinking, I assume. The two main religions of Japan are Buddhism and Shintoism. As far I know, you can be a 'member' of both(and more), as they are not self excluding. Japanese people don't "self define" as a member of any religion because it is not how their religion work, I think.

PS:IT seems, however, that Japanese people do say they are not affiliated with any religion at all (including saying they are atheists/agnostics). Still, as said, religion root in culture, so it doesn't matter much. Furthermore, despite what they say they do still seem to practice religion anyway (even in urban area, most houses has a Buddhist altar, so says Wikipedia).

It's not just japanese fans who does this you know.

Don't these otaku watch and/or read Koe De Oshigoto or something?

...I think this just blew my mind with it's astounding irrelevance to the topic.

Seriously, I don't even what to say to anything here now.

This level of trolling is reasonable for Commander Obvious. What do you think of this, everyone?

Noooo. Not lil Azu-nyan!

I think this sums it up best...

Taketatsu Ayana does an H-anime voice: otaku rage
Dan Green does an H-anime voice: fans go "OH GOD MY CHILDHOOD" at first, but then go "I'M SURPRISINGLY OKAY WITH THIS" afterward

I don't think it matters whether or not they identify with a religion or even believe in God or gods. The fact remains that it's a part of their culture that they grew up exposed to, which it's plausible to imagine permeates the way they perceive the world.

I honestly don't think Shintoism has much to do with it. Some fans of American film actors can be the same way.

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

Idolmaster is doing good and that all the fandumb threats are just the fans being tsundere: they still bought the game :P....

It's always the fanatics who ruin everything... yes, even otaku...

To the point that otakus destroyed any Ayana Taketatsu goods they had, Aya Hirano style.

Uh could I ask people to stop using the word "otaku" without "some" in front of it? Not all otakus are like that.

You don't see fans of Dan Green tearing up their autographed Yu Gi Oh cards upon hearing him on Stepmother's Sin, do you?

Oh come on.... well the article fits tiu's post. And I don't have any other source. Unless I can get a better one, EXCEPT ANY IMAGEBOARDS(NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO I WILL NEVER GO THERE), this is as best that I can find.

And no, I don't watch Fox news.

Those are my words, given that you take a tabloid devoted to sensasionalist rubbish that uses random 2chan quotes as "source" religiously seriously.

Well guess what, neither does shitkaku.
