As a femanon,
yes he is attractive.
His features look quite caucasian to me? Bar mostly the eyes..
He has a long face, a chiseled jaw and defined cheekbones paired with a fairly slim and pointed nose, so, attractive!

Holding one's self to a masculine physical ideal, while being an independent thinker and of strong moral fiber.
Seems like 99% of "men" nowadays are physically meek, doughy creatures, content mentally to ineffectually gum at and regurgitate whatever slop the holders of the cultural status quo toss their way.

It's a really complicated book. But I'd say for the most part the book is about the repudiation of the validity of one's being.

From birth, Yozo was different in some fundamental but indiscernible way, that singled him out as an anomaly or a "glitch." That was the point of his anecdotes about not feeling hunger and misinterpreting the purpose of the subways.

He sensed at an early age that he was unloved, and in instinctive reaction, subconsciously recanted himself, both to help ingratiate himself with society, and because he believes himself to be "invalid" and deserving of renouncement. That manifested in the repression of nearly all aspects of his being, including normal human desires. (The lack of normal human desires is why he drifts around so aimlessly throughout the book.)

The reason he can't understand others is exactly because he's repressed the core of his own being so deeply. You mostly understand others by putting yourself in their position and thinking what you would do in their place. But Yozo, lacking that "humanity" due to repression, is totally unable to do that. This is also partly why he's so callous towards the women that love him later in the book.

Yozo is now mostly an invalid human. He lives the rest of his life desperately trying to maintain the facade of normalcy, to avoid the repudiation he believes himself to be worthy of, and the ensuing rage that he can't withstand.

The final blow comes when Yoshiko is raped. The rape is first, a confirmation that the world is a hostile place of competing animalistic human natures that he can never hold his own in, and second, sacrilege and disconfirmation of his one thing he held to be good and pure in the world. It "split him between the brows" because it did to him something similar to what Raskolnikov underwent in Crime and Punishment. Before, his psyche was fractured but still somewhat intact (the intact bit was what his desire to taste a "savage pleasure" was all about), but now it's split in two---all but his ability to suffer. And then he suffers horribly through the rest of the book.

There's a lot more to this, but this post is getting long already.

Alienation is a common theme in modern Japanese literature, so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that people posting on an anonymous message board would be attracted to it.

And unlike most other literary canons, it also tends to be rather conservative--modern Japanese literature often laments the decline of tradition and rise of soulless western-style capitalism. I suspect that's also a part of it.

That being said, Dazai was a self-loathing, drug-addicted degenerate, and his work is garbage.

>What the hell, Luigi, you can see what fortune can do to men. You had just finished fucking your woman when you want another one. I've been in Modena for several days when I came across an old woman who washes my shirts. She asked me to come into her hovel because she wished to show me some fine shirts. Innocent prick that I am I went in. There was a woman over in the corner. "This is the shirt that I wanted to sell you," the hag said. I was terrified. But I fucked her. I found her thighs flabby and her cunt damp. Her breath stank. But I was horny. When I was finished I took a torch and looked at her. I nearly dropped dead. The woman was ugly. She had a tuft of hair on her head but her head was bald. Her forehead was scarred. One eye looked up, the other down. Her eyes were filled with mucus, and she had no eyebrows. Her nose was twisted into a funny shape. Her mouth looked like Lorenzo de' Medici's but was bent to one side. She was toothless and saliva drooled out of her mouth. Her upper lip had a moustache. I looked at her stupefied. "What's the matter sir?" she asked me. As soon as she opened her mouth, such a stench came out that my eyes and my nose were assaulted and my stomach indignant. They could not bear it, and I vomited all over her.

I have a theory that men who are born to women who took a lot of hormonal birth control over the course of their lives grow up to be more feminized than men born to women who did not take birth control. Not due to anything about sluts being sluts, but just due to hormonal differences.

How can I confirm or deny this theory?

Laziness and self-esteem issues. You can blame capitalism or Jews, but simply nowadays most men think that can't improve and don't even try. Just look at 4chan. If you want muscles, work out. If you don't want muscles and just want to be goofball, then be a goofball. Don't be a man for somebody or society, be a man for yourself, because being yourself is what in the end bring happiness.
