"Hilarious" Touhou article
Firestorm29:
Kinda sounds like your friend had a few visits to somewhere like 4chan before seeing that article, especially since the article never even mentions anything about weeaboos or has that sort of tone to it.
Cadmas:
Yes, he sounds like a very unreasonable person who probally shouldn't be using the internet since 85% of it is anime and weeaboo shit.
Tengukami:
Who says "weeaboo" anymore anyway?

I do, but I've never been very "with the times".
It looks nicer than "wapanese", at least.

Of course, putting it without specifying your friend's mental state may make it sound solid.
Well guys, like Ghaleon, I read the article and didn't think of pedophilia until I read your comments. Are you sure you aren't being paranoid?

And can you tell otherwise?
First, the article is directed at the "halo-boy", that guy who never played anything of japanese origin with exception of Mario games (because everyone played those).
Second, pornographic cartoons from Japan are prominent. Before Pok?mon came out, I already knew about hentai anime, and I was a kid still. Not only that, even serious games feature "sexual" themes; take Soul Calibur 2: not satisfied with some characters exposing their skirts during fights, there are some revealing pictures in the unlockable gallery.
Third, you need to do research to find out that geishas aren't equal to prostitues, and even that isn't really a fact in every situation.
Can you really blame anyone for thinking they're strange?
