Nineinch, I guess I always hope fantasy is there to express what you WOULDN'T do in real life. I don't find hentai offensive to women unless you take it seriously. As for the kinder-whore stuff, once again it's expressing things that people do think about anyway. I look at is as art, it's supposed to evoke a reaction. I saw one called "Postal Rape" about buttfucking the mailman, and it was hilarious, kind of on the "Southpark" level of humor, but I'm immature enough to find that funny. Besides, what's not to like about grossly enlarged penises and gang bangs? I don't think anyone's suggesting you actually attack the postman, but you might chuckle a bit when he delivers the mail. These aren't pictures of real people, no one is hurt by drawings.

South Park is political and social satire. Even the fart jokes are social satire because they are making fun of the people who say things like "South Park is only fart jokes and crappy animation". So Matt & Trey made Terrence and Phillip to show what that would actually be like. Once in a while they stick in something purely for shock value, like Mr. Slave putting Paris Hilton up his ass. Though this is also a way of poking fun at people who are too uptight. Anyway, I don't see SP as in any way as immature as most anime, the majority of which is targeted at 8 year old boys who like gratuitous gore, violence and panty-shots. Anime fans, please don't come back and say "such and such is great" or "so-and-so is more adult than this-and-that". I did say "most" and "majority". Not all.
No live people are actually hurt during the production of any anime, except maybe the animators who are forced to work long hours... but... if you keep producing stuff that constantly reinforces the idea that women are inferior to men, or that they are to be seen only as sex objects, or that 10 year old girls enjoy being raped... I think that this can be damaging. I'm not big on censorship, I am kind of a pervert myself, and I do understand there is a difference between fantasy, entertainment, and reality. However... rape and pedophelia are really pushing the limit of what is acceptable as sexual fantasy. These actions should not be condoned at all and by producing entertainment that seems to regularly endorse both, the hentai industry is condoning, if not the actions themselves, at least the fantasy. Fucking mailmen.. fine... but raping a child? Sorry if that bothers me a little.
I'd say something to try and get this back on topic but I don't remember what the topic was.
