Can gaming in Japan be saved?
Japan is dead #2
Outragebait thread #95894000
You're a boring person, OP
Is still worth it to visit Japan if you're an old Otaku who doesn't have any interest in modern FOTM? I only care about things like Slayers, Macross, Ranma, and old franchises like Valkyrie Profile. I don't give a fuck about gacha or Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yes, if you know where to go
No.
i mean there's probably the highest concentration of retro vidya and oldschool weebshit of anywhere in the world, you'll just need to put in the bare minimum effort to seek it out
Absolutely. It's only the advertising and mainstream shops that are pandering chink/gook gacha shit now. You can still easily find tons of old stuff beyond the surface level garbage.
Macross is always paired with Gunplas which is basically almost everywhere (alomf with other mecha franchises).
Slayers is kinda difficult, only found stuff in Mandarake in Nakano Broadway. Being an oldfag is getting worse by the years though since you really have to dig to find thst one thing you are looking for in a pile of FOTM and Gacha. You might end up finding stuff in the most unexpected places though, I found MLA stickers in the Tank/Old Timer Mandarake in Nakano Broadway which has nothing to do with the store.
You know, I don't feel like my kid watching all out tits on the public, and don't feel like dealing with public masturbators either.
These games were never meant to be shown in street billboards
i got to see dyrl in theaters when i was there and they were playing the classic godzilla movies every week
Being an oldfag is getting worse by the years
How bad are things over there? Do they still paid heed to the classics or is all just FOTM pandering?
Is this the rally point?
I can't even live a simple life in my 1st world country, let alone go to Japan.
I went 10k in debt just to be able to pay rent, eat at McDonald's and try to live a comfortable life. I have no money left, and I ll spend the rest of my life living like a dog. It's ok, it's not like Japan wants baka gaijin like me anyway.
Anon japan has softcore porn mags in convenience stores. One of the first things you see are gravure idols with big tits.
that is fine. lewd content shouldn't be displayed so openly in the public. you can consume lewd content in the privacy of your home.
thread died before I could answer
check catalog
Phew. It's this one anon.
izuakazawa.jp
It's great, it has several private onsens that you can rent and you don't even need to stay overnight there.
The view is also amazing, both from the onsen itself but also the train ride there and the area is filled with green. Next time I'd definitely try an overnight stay instead of just a 1 hour dip while passing by.
You can check out the place on google maps for english reviews on how to get there if you want.
Last thread somebody gave advice "don't speak unless spoken to" and it made me feel sad because when I was last year on visit (work-related but with few days off) I would try to speak to people in shops and such, saying "good day", "goodbye" and such, also trying to be as polite as possible, even when using translator. At least bowing was already natural for me so I guess that aspect went okay. But I really don't want to be a burden to anyone and didn't want to annoy others.
The only friendly people I met was group of teenagers late evening, to be honest, we even talked a bit, maybe staff at one restaurant at Toyama too (also very late evening, I was simply too hungry after travel to skip some meal) but others were simply as neutral as possible and two clerks (one at Akiba, other at Nakano) visibly annoyed. Even today, I feel bad that I might have unintentionally done something wrong.
I don't get what the screenshot is trying to say. How is it no good? Too lewd?
?
I'd say about 70% FOTM/Shounen/Gacha shit with the other 30% being stuff of every other franchise.
Yeah, and I wouldn't like my kids looking at them. Here where I live, we also have porno mags on kiosks, but they "censor" them with tape over the wrapping.
Don't get me wrong, I love gachas, I love fanservice, but I don't play Nikke or watch ecchi anime in front of them.
Even when I scroll twitter with them near, I'm always ready to scroll fast when something like this appears
this is due to yostar being niggerd
yes they still care about old stuff
there's no difference between that and a bilboard that has a irl girl with a bikini
yawn
there's no difference between that and a bilboard that has a irl girl with a bikini
there is, since 2D>3D on every aspect
went 10k in debt
Anon why? Debt is literal slavery. You should have listened to Anon Babble
Yes, the buildings are plastered with gachaslop but you can still find good old shit in the stores themselves in Akiba and Osaka's Nipponbashi
No because Japanese are gambling addicts that can't stop blowing all their paychecks on pachinko and gacha
They got worse problems in their country than gook and chink video games taking their money. Stuff that's a bit too political or too overwhelming a topic.
Do you think that Japanese girls finds facial hair ugly? I'm not maintaining beard, I'm sometimes lazy enough to not shave for days.
there are much worse things readily available on the net and every kid has a smartphone or a classmate/friend with one
I'd be genuinely surprised if kids cared about gacha pictures when most have already seen hardcore porn by the age of 10 on average [citation needed].
Then stay in America. I wouldn’t like my kids if I ever have them being subjected to American culture but I wouldn’t bitch about it. I can’t stand how Americans expect other countries to bend over backward for them
If they were only autistic about their games as much as they are about their rice
you see our shitty strain may be slower to grow and yields less than the ones grown in other counties while also currently costing 5 times as much for a bag, but this flavorless white rice is waaay better than their shitty flavorless white rice
I thought it was because the text was covering booba.
Have you tried sucking cock to the Yazuka.
there are much worse things readily available on the net and every kid has a smartphone or a classmate/friend with one
maybe, but not my kids
they don't have access to the internet, they both are under 10, so it has been really easy so far
You are right on the money, everyone else is retarded or just stirring up shit to farm (You)'s.
oh no my coomer games are over, oh-wait
Not exposing your infant kids to sexual themes is normal, anon. It's not an exclusive american value.
America has an hypocrisy problem. They rightfully want to prevent kids from watching ecchi shit, but they expose them to trannie parades and drag shit.
Both are wrong for small kids.
maybe, but not my kids
they don't have access to the internet, they both are under 10, so it has been really easy so far
This is going to backfire you so hard in a few more years
they don't have access to the internet
You keep them chained at home 24/7? Unless you do it's only a matter of time before one of their friends who does shows them a glimpse and it's all over in a second. Also don't bring them to the weeb capital of the world
t. someone who's parents tried desperately and failed miserably to keep me from the internet back when it was a lot more difficult to access and most were still on ADSL
if you are interested in things you loved being destroyed
youtube.com
yeah... akiba...
NOOOO females(real) have tits!!!
I always wonder what sort of effect it has on young Japanese girls seeing porn everywhere.
This is going to backfire you so hard in a few more years
I don't see how. If you properly raise your kid with love, you won't see a hard revel phase.
Nah, at the house they play with their toys, draw or do homework
At school, no kid is allowed to bring a phone
goes to weebtown
complains about weebshit
I've never seen a japanese girl react negatively to lewdness to be honest. Which is why a good number of them are also the ones drawing lewds like the artist for neptunia. It's all very natural for them I guess.
definitely not
especially if your just a slob and it's not even maintained
If it was all Yaoi, they'd love it.
Okay, yeah. I don't really know much about that part of the jap culture. Is Akihabara a place where kids shouldn't go? If that's the case, this censorship is only for lonely lickers and public coomers
same i often think about young japanese girls
Gachashit ads are all over trains and train stations
Are you suggesting that somehow before Japan would just have adverts of extremely lewd girls with their tits out on full blast or something? Somehow I doubt it.
Yes. Akiba still caters a lot of old stuff, and for anything that's really out there you've got Nakano Broadway and retro stores are everywhere due to the giant second hand market.
It's too late for decent arcades now though. Nothing but claw machines now.
They become porn addicts as well.
travel to germany
wtf why all these whores selling themselves
i mean to me that's clearly meant to be something to tempt you into playing so you can see the whole thing, not censorship
At school, no kid is allowed to bring a phone
And 20 years ago kids didn't even have phones but that never stopped anyone. The sheltered ones fall faster and further than anyone. Make sure they actually know about the dangers of degeneracy instead of just avoiding it and hoping they never make contact
you won't see a hard rebel phase
Lol lmao. I hope you are right but don't count on it. Prepare in advance
Ah, nevermind then. Fuck that shit
if this anon is saying the truth , public transportation isn't really "weebtown"
Akihabara is basically where anime culture happens/used to happen and it doesnt discriminate between regular anime and hentai. Often enough you have hentai figurines and stuff like One Piece in shelves next to each other. So yeah Akihabara isnt a place I would take children unless you enjoy playing minesweeper except (its anime tits).
Make sure they actually know about the dangers of degeneracy instead of just avoiding it and hoping they never make contact
ofc, i'm not only saying "No" without explaination. They know the shouldn't be watching that and how dangerous it is for underdeveloped brains
Lol lmao. I hope you are right but don't count on it. Prepare in advance
I am. I don't expect it to be easy. It's a constant push and pull with boundaries, so they don't really feel as restricted.
Psyop to raise birth rates.
These niggas are gooning 24/7. No wonder the girls end up becoming unironical whores.
How about you shut the fuck up and go bitch to your own politicians instead of trying to push your puritan views on other countries? Do you want to turn your own country into an Anglopuritan hellscape? Go ahead and do it. But stop acting like your opinion is worth shit outside of your bubble. If the japs want to show boobs or not is up to them, not you
I can't think of any line of logic where birth rates would be boosted by increasingly easy access to lewd content.
Horseshoe theory proven by you.
But instead of Right/Left, it's Coomer/Trannie
Masturbate until exhaustion at your home, play all the H games you want at your home. Hell, I hope, we see more degenerate gachashit in the future. But the foremost priority should be protecting kids from oversexualization, be it pride parades or gachashit ads.
When it comes to kids, puritan is the only way
Japan has become the new thailand reeking with sex tourism
Japan is finished
crying about sexy females
what a bunch of faggots
I can't see how normalising sex will help people get it on
Because you're a retarded yank anon.
I bet you also think people magically turn from children to adults on their 18th birthday too.
Like they're gonna tell you if they saw a lewd tiktok video or ask if their brains are developed yet when everyone else is watching it already. You need an actual contingency plan anon. Consider gated communities and full homeschooling so when they inevitably get fucked up by exposure they'd be much older. But as other anons said those ads are from Akihabara which is mostly visited by coomer weebs.
That's probably why it failed. No matter how horny they are, their parents are pushing them to marry a wealthy successful guy.
The population explosion happens when there is a lack of parental guidance.
How do you talk to cute Japanese girls?
visit 2chan
see threads (allowed) for underage creepshots
You have to admit that's crazy to see. Imagine if Anon Babblepedos were allowed to run wild here.
First you learn Japanese
Sure, but another anon said they also are un public transport.
trick question, i don't
Anglos should shut the fuck up about telling other people how their countries ought to be considering what you've got.
Imagine if Anon Babblepedos were allowed to run wild here.
you mean Anon Babble?
You need to be white Rajeesh
Both sides of the street in Shinjuku are lined with soapland whores and rentboys.
I know Japan has historically never given a shit about prostitution, but it's getting a bit mad. It's hard to tell if it's a sex tourism thing, or they're just losing whatever remaining christian influence they had left.
Go to a maid cafe. That said, please don't. It's fucking embarrassing to see a fat white guy try to waddle through the small door.
okay pedo
Pretty sad. Bet majority of them are young too competing with each other to get by in a shit economy.
You're the retard who thinks all of society should be centered around fucking children.
centered around fucking children.
centered around protecting children. you're the one wanting to fuck them, pedo
16 is legal in Japan and most of the world.
Not children by any means.
The number 18 isn't some magic spell that turns children into adults.
And yet people still think asians dont look like this nowadays. None of these anons have ever met an asian girl. Korean games are just reflecting the current fashion trends of the newer generation of women.
centered around protecting children.
"Society for adults? No it should be about children."
Uh-huh. Creepy fuck.
"Society for adults?
for people, adults and kids. retard
not being able to grasp that concept should put you on a watchlist
Jesus. After finding out just how many people have fucking herpes, I shudder to thinn just how awful the STD epidemic must be over there. Celibacy looks better and better every day.
What is the best way to do that?
There is a local college that offers JP courses, but that's going to be extremely expensive.
lolicon increases child rape
normal porn decreases normal
the reason why you don't see any line of logic here is because you generally don't
It's STD central. I would not trust a single prostitute over there to be remotely clean in any part of their body.
Bump
most of the girls there are young runaway girls with family issues, like their dad hits them or their mom hates them, etc. it's pretty sad to see. Some are really sweet but at their age it's hard to find a job at anything so doing this is often a fast solution.
I've never seen this many whores lined up in a single street around here in south america, the police would disperse them
What happened to japan to be below literal third world shitholes?
why sage???
Except it literally doesn't, birth rates are only boosted when people are expressly having sex for the purpose of having a child, i.e. starting a family. Hookup culture not only doesn't increase birth rates, it demonstrably lowers them because people view sexual pleasure as a hobby. Instead of seeking out the type of relationships that would lead to them starting a family they aim for indulgence.
Pornography is neutral to negative in its impact on birth rates. People will be horny regardless of whether or not you give them stuff to coom to but the societal effects of both hookup culture and the outlet causing some people to be able to disengage with dating are both drains on your birth rates.
The main issue is that it turns sex into a commodity and that has a demonstrable and consistent observable effect of lowering birth rates.
It was pretty bad already but the tourism just made everything worse
If you read the interviews is because they can charge twice to foreigners and since foreigners use condoms they can charge even more for no condoms
It was really sad to see this girl say her dad never showed her love and her family ignoring her to smoke cigarettes. No wonder. I guess it's another epidemic
cause not vidya, somehow. despite being a discussion about gacha advertising in public spaces
i guess the discussion is too profound for the average jannie
It could at least be put on the road to recovery if Sony and Nintendo could be made to stop censoring and gatekeeping the few based games left out of the market.
Because half these japan threads just discuss prostitution.
Because of Anon Babble making fun of chinese and korean games.
Terrible world to be in.
Nigger shut the fuck up. You can find worse in any South American country, if “worse” is even the right word considering they aren’t harming anyone.
Not only that, but it’s just one area around one park in Tokyo.
In Mexico you’ve got literal whore designated streets in Playa del Carmen not too far from Quinta Avenida. In Brazil whores are everywhere. In Argentina there’s designated red light districts. Colombia is whore capital of the continent. And that’s just the countries I know.
And don’t pretend that you’re less of a shithole for not having whores on the street, assuming you live in the one country that doesn’t. In Japan you can walk around at 3am in the worse neighborhood and nothing will happen to you. So much for being a shithole. In South America you have to watch out for thieves at 3 PM for fucks sake.
And, again, those whores that btw are being cracked down by the government in Japan don’t hurt anyone. Meanwhile South America is still one of the most dangerous places on earth. I can’t believe the gall to call Japan third world by people drowning in their own filth
it's that easy, huh? if I don't like a thread, i bring up prostitution and it'll get autosaged?
good moderation
Usually it just gets outright deleted.
