Hay, /jp/

I'm in an Intro to Japan class this semester, and I need to come up with an idea for a group project by Wednesday. It can be about anything in/from/about Japan...anything! I concluded that I need to come up with the idea because most of my group are fuckwits an one's a weeaboo. Gimme some help /jp/, just start throwing out random ideas. Let's try to steer clear of KAWAII SHOUJO, 'kay?

I'm glad I didn't have anything group related on my first year.
We started 21. The worst of the lot dropped out in a month or so, but there was a /b/tard who even dared to show up to the final summer exam (very low attendance, failed, etc.), so he quit too.
Now we're only 9 left.

Look forward to the higher levels, OP.

Also; make a project about trains.

Japan wouldn't be the same without trains, so at least it's relevant.

I don't know how good a project about junior idols would be.

You're obviously a troll, or severely lacking in intelligence. For one, pedophile is gender neutral, while lolicon is not. To imply they are synonyms is very incorrect.

Well I haven't come to any good ideas by myself, but one kid wants to do Japanese sports, because he knows nothing else. One girl wants to do anime (don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but I don't feel like standing in front of 30 peers for a half hour talking about about LAWLNARUTOZOMG). The other two are black.

People also confuse pedophilia and ephebophilia. That is because they are reactionary morons.

>>3371664
Pedophilia involves children. Lolicon can, but does not have to.

Drawn characters don't have a physical age, so they can't count as "pedophilia". Many older girls (especially in Japan) try to look very young, which fits with lolicon but not pedophilia.

Neither is a subset of the other, despite the large degree of overlap.

"The presentation must be accompanied with the following:
-Visuals: PC based or tangible objects
-Handouts: Outline of presentation
-Presentation is to be 15-30 minutes long"

He said that the presentation can really be about anything, but needs to fit into that time slot, and all five members of the group must participate. Other than that, there aren't many guidelines, so long as the topic has something to do with Japan.
