Japan is famously known for its culture of cute.

How come the rest of the world has trouble appreciating cute culture, especially in the Anglosphere?

Korea has Aegyo and China is also known for loving cute stuff it's really only places outside of asia that hate cute immature girls.

I remeber one girl on a discussion of aegyo saying that it promotes pedophilia by telling women that dressing like a child is sexy.

True this. Although most girls in my country take the lazy route and just wear jeans and a shirt. But girls who put some effort into their clothes always attract (positive) attention.

America has Manly, which is something its losing due to the comic industry being full of cute and stoner mentality when the comics aren't aimed at Politics

France has its uppity sophistication

Rest of the world well...not much that can be said since almost all comics that aren't politcs tend to come from japan

I liked Jeff Smith's Bone and Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson as I grew up, US had a good cartoon industry with Disney but we need a little more variety or just something worth getting excited about.

GUYS IT'S HAPPENING
WE HAVE CUTE WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF STEALING OUR LIVES
IT'S ALL SUCCUBUS
WHEN THE WEST RELEASES CUTE SHIT LIKE MLP EVERYONE SHITS THEIR WALLETS BECAUSE IT'S CUTE
SAME GOES FOR JAPAN, NO ONE WANTS TO BE A FARMER OR A CONSTRUCTION WORKER EVEN THOUGH THEY CONTRIBUTE SHIT TO SOCIETY. NO THEY WANT TO BE A MANGA ARTIST OR A TEACHER BECAUSE IT MEANS MORE RESPECT EVEN THOUGH THEY BARELY CONTRIBUTE SHIT

>Women in Asia
>respect

Women in Asia demand no respect and are content with only playing in the meat market. This explains why like 1 in 200 Jap women have appeared in pornography and why they are so willing to strap themselves in whatever frilly mess in order to garner appeal from niche fetishists.

Only in the West women have gotten the idea of carving a future for themselves that doesn't involve over-sophisticated methods of milking men for affection and money.

Stay delusional, weeaboos.

Plenty of women in the West pursue careers, get married to a man, have children with him (or cuckold him), then divorce him and steal his wealth. Here in Australia they can do so even if there is no marriage or children involved. 3D women are bad all over, but I'd rather they try to convince men to give them money instead of stealing it through law. But you are right not to idealize Asian women.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 25 00:34:37 2012 No.9440662 >>9440648 Playing devil's advocate here. They're usually OL's who're on the prowl for their future husbands so they can play housewife in the future. Not to say there are no women with real careers there.

Was there something factually wrong about my post? I hate modern feminists with all my fury.

I believe, if women want equality they are free to take it and bear it's weight. Fuck affirmative action. If women can't play with the same rules as men, they belong in the kitchen.
