Anime Figures and the Men That Love Them…A Little Too Much
NSFW WARNING!
One of my annual indulgences from my Animazement adventures are accumulating more anime character figures. Unlike previous years, all the figures I purchased appeared to have one thing in common: The ability to assemble them without their skirts, thus leaving nothing to obstruct the full view of the character’s panties. This option was not exclusive to unassembled figures; even the fully assembled Haruhi Suzumiya figure I bought could be taken apart and rebuilt sans skirt with minimal effort.
It may sound strange, but there’s a simple explanation: It’s Japan. Japanese are obsessed with girl’s panties. Not that I fault them for it. I’ll steal a peek myself, if fate grants me an opportunity. And a hot girl standing before you in her underwear is always a delight be behold. However, the Western culture from which I’m akin to is more conservative about such things, while Asian culture (perhaps especially Japan) are far more overt with their perversions.
Discovering this cultural accent inspirited within my otherwise innocent figures doesn’t bother me, rather it grants them an additional charm. Though it did remind me of a far more twisted fetish from Japan that I’d discovered in the far-most reaches of the interwebs many months ago. I’m not certain if there is a designated term for it yet (in either language), but one need only Google “semen on figure” to realize its self-explanatory keywords.
Basically, as it sounds, a man will beat off and then ejaculate onto an anime figure. Then these men will compare photos of their handiwork online. It’s hardly a sign of a healthy lifestyle, but my own protests may not be over what one may expect.
As I am reminded of every year when raiding the Animazement dealer’s room, anime figures are not cheap. Even 2in figures can go for $25-30 without question. Figures that are often used as these targets of affection cost upward from around $75 and beyond. What offends my sensibilities is that this is such a waste of an expensive figure! I don’t have that kind of money just laying around to blow on a figure whose artistic beauty may or not match it’s price tag…only to stain it with bodily fluids. That stuff doesn’t just wash off. And even if you give it a thorough cleaning, there’s a stubborn, lingering odor. As far as I’m concerned, the figure–whatever its intended purpose–is ruined. It breaks my heart. Both as an otaku and as a penny-pincher…
