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

Are alien invasions world destruction really that common in the USA?

Nothing of what you usually see in a story is "common". It wouldn't be interesting elseway.

Portray them a lot in their VNs? I can only think of YMK and Itaike na Kanojo. If anything, it's underrepresented.

Are youkai incidents really that common in Japan?

>> No.7821291

They are socially awkward topics, in that everyone knows they happen but no one, media included, feels comfortable talking about. Rapes and bullying happen but go undenounced, blame on social surroundings, etc.
Fiction just acts on the power of these suppressed narratives, just like you can have comics about anarchic terrorists and right-wing vigilantes.

How do the Japanese define bullying? If it's the same as European "bullying" then they should walk it off.

It's because the authors of VNs, manga, etc. were all bullied throughout their childhood, as were their fans.

Add the word "fetishes" between "common" and "in". The answer to the question: They are, at least among VN players.

Anyone know of any other good eroge with bullying scenes? I have read SubaHibi, Itaike na Kanojo, Tsui no Sora, and obviously YMK since that's pretty much entry-level fare.

Use vndb, tag bullying. Or even better google something like
いじめ エロゲ on Japanese sites and posts result here.

How it'll be in Japanese btw? いじめをついてゲーム?

>> No.7822170

>>7822073
Yeah but VNDB doesn't differentiate between the protagonist being bullied and a heroine being bullied, which are completely different fetishes.

>> No.7822177

Itaikena Kanojo is hard to play, I just keep white knighting her. So much possibilities in bullying her but I can't go through with it.

Though a female protagonist being bullied, as with SubaHibi, is good.

Japan has some of the most serious (and fatal) bullying problems in the world, especially among the girls. There is about one bullying related teen suicide per week in Tokyo, and there have been as many as 5 in a single day.

Bullying is especially bad in japan for cultural reasons. Schools, teachers, and principles are quick to cover up evidence of bullying in the same manner that Japanese police purposely avoid on reporting or investigating violent crime. They are under pressure to keep up appearances. Just as an unsolved murder would cause people to lose trust in the police, a bully related suicide would cause people to lose faith in the education system. A coverup is the only responsible thing to do.

It wasn't until 2006 that a suicide note of a bully victim was sent to the minister of education and the media.

>To the Minister of Education and Science Ibuki Bunmei

>The reason I write this letter is that I find it too hard to live on. Bullies have never been punished. I told teachers about ijime, but they’ve done nothing. I told my parents about it but I was only told to ‘put up with it’. They contacted the principal and the board of education, but nothing changed. My parents and teachers only say ‘your personality is the problem’, so ‘put up with it’. If the situation does not improve before Wednesday 8 November, I’ll take my own life as I wrote in ‘The certificate: This suicide was caused by ijime’. I’ll do it at school. I can trust no one, so I write to you Minister Ibuki Bunmei…. Please release my name to the media on Saturday 11 November. Please. Please.

The Minister of education was immediately concerned that the trust in teachers, schools, and the government was being attacked. The bullied child was not the victim here... the teachers and the government were the victims.

Keeping up appearances > All
