Description
The sixteenth in a series of comics I'm writing. I've learned a lot of things from my year on dA: various memes, styles and terminologies.This week, shota... This is, yet another, Japanese term I have just recently found the meaning of. Now, I can't even begin to express how I felt when I checked that definition. I mean, that can't be legal, can it? I'm fully aware than the age of consent in Japan is thirteen (which I have reservations about) but come on, that's just weird. It rather pertains to the principle of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." As always, I simply don't see the appeal, but I know that certain people on this site do. And, quite frankly, they can keep it to themselves

There are so much weird things to us from Japan, that now i can't be impressed so easily =/
Their mind is still a mystery to me, but i can't stop loving Japan XD
...even if i don't like their food.

I suppose like any nation it has its pros and cons

HAHAHAHA!!! A very sad lesson any good Googler (like myself) or Japanese language learner (like you) often has to learn about the hard way...

Yeah, not exactly the way you want to learn about things of that nature.
(BTW: 'Malheuresement' is French for 'bad or unfortunate discovery', right?)

As I understand it, it means "Unfortunately."

Hm...well, you learn something new everyday.

Worse if it involves tentacles! D:

Yeah, apparently that all stemmed from an old Japanese folk tale involving a woman, an octopus and questionable events...

I think there was a painting of it!
Done by a famous Japanese artist too

No for reals! It was the same artist who painted this:

my reaction exactly, except mine wud have been -> in the end and maybe 
its may seem weird to us, but in japan its probably a normal average thing
though .............

Yeah, it probably is when you consider the sort of things they sell in vending machines. Seriously, wiki vending machine and scroll down till you find Japan. The list is unbelieveable.

👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm not fond of shotacon either. O_e Nor do I like lolicon. It's...just no. but if that's whut they want, more power to'em. Just keep it away from meh. :n

o-o what IS shotacon? And I don't think I want to google it, so just explain in kid friendly terms.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a delicious bit of irony that you said "kid friendly" terms
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I assumed it'd be weird or gross or something. If it's totally kid friendly, then just say the word, and I'll go look it up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's ironic because it's essentially yaoi with kids.
