/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Are rape, bullying, and suicide really so common in Japan? They sure like to portray them a lot in their VNs and movies.

For those of us who only joined somewhere in the last month, first of all, get the fuck out, and secondly, OP's picture is from JAST's 2011 April Fools post.

JAST still does. They probably still call romance VNs 'dating sims' as well. Peter Payne doesn't care about how much he's worsening bad impressions about VNs or ruining the market as he long as he makes his money.

That image was from Four Leaf Studios' 2011 April Fools post. KS devs have already discarded any such ideas and was ridiculing them.

Yume Miru Kusuri is a story-based VN (although one with an excessive amount of porn). If you want to fap, try a nukige instead. VNs like YMK are for the plot.

Hey /jp/, serious question. How accurately does this portray Japanese school life?

Stood in twilight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.

Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.

Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.

Was Aeka.

Does that answer your questions, Kouhei?
