    Before I have been tainted by this endless abyss called Japanese pop sub-culture, I think I was a somewhat decent person.
    I would think that a girl that abuses the guy she likes is a scary deranged woman that needs a counsellor, not a cute tsundere
    I would think that dating multiple partners is a jerk move called two(or more) timing, not a somehow acceptable thing for the protagonist of a story that is supposed to be a morally good character to do
    I would think that stalking and threatening someone is weird and scary, not yandere and it's not moe, it's something you need to report to the police
    I would think that romantic relationships between an older sibling and a younger sibling don't make a somewhat interesting niche genre
    How has the weeb culture corrupted you?
    Edit: it's all in good fun, so let's tacitly understand that and ignore common sense

    Corruption is only the beginning. I can't tell if I was born a deviant or this culture transformed me into a deviant. Doesn't matter now, because I'm a proud (destined to be) NEET!

    agree, there was a time i found circumcision and clitoridectomy weird and unethical behaviour, now i consider any form of body amputation as a valid sexual experience with the exception of decapitation in some particular cases (example: decapitation to kill the french monarchy, that is just awful)

    I lot of the things you mentioned are more the inherent to anime and manga gross eggergeration paired with heavy simplification. I mean just look at the whole tsundere beating up the protagonist troupe. You might see a situation where an angry love interest slaps the protagonist so hard in the face he goes flying through a window, shattering it in the process. Then you'll see him lying pathetically on the ground bruised bleeding, with bits of broken glass sticking out of his face. Then a few panels later he is completely fine, no bandages no scars, and even the destroyed window is magically repaired.

    Now an educated guess tells us this is only possible because it never happened in the first place. Her hitting him was never meant to be taken as actual physical abuse, but more symbolism of her anger. It is just like when a character who is a seemingly ordinary person gets so angry they burst into flame, or turn into a demon. They are not really doing those things, it is just an effect used to visualize their emotions in a media that lacks a narrative.

    I don't though, I treated anime as anime, manga as manga, nothing more.

    Well, harem for the win.
    Although luckily for me, I started watching anime as an adult and it didn't take long for me to discover that I didn't find these anime females pretty.
    Just large eyed freaks. I probably would have been more corrupted.
    Although the live action adaptation of these anime can be just as bad.
    I think thinks like Moteki corrupt you just as fine
    Oh a better example : Shimokita Glory Days

    When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ~1 Corinthians 13:11~

    It is not a culture you need this little extreme case for building up an “interesting” story.
    I would say it is not a culture I could give X examples of stories that are “over a top” not conform with the ideologies of that time or of today. Example No.1 on my list is Romeo and Juliet a story of a secret romance even with a marriage and if we see with today eyes it could be a Pedo-story in some regions Juliet was 13 and Romeo 15 as the story took place.
    Next a fun fact a censorship “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” needed to be rewritten in the 80s and the “original” form that Mark Twain used in book for one of the side characters an N* needed to be changed for a less offensive work so it could be still used as lecture in US...

    Oh my gawd, seriously I can't believe I missed that. Well rules are rules if someone points it out before you notice it, then you've got to keep it as is.

    Thanks to shows like sailor moon my mind immediately wonders do short skirts follow anime logic to still cover everything even though it's essentially not reasonable

    You think it's weeb culture that has corrupted you? Wait until you watch live action lesbian smurf porn or Logan Paul during his vine days. No, let's not go too far. Just watch a dude who dumpster dives, then eats trash on youtube, then make a surprise pikachu face when a homeless man woke up and started thrashing around from him disturbing his sleep.

    Ai-chan can't identify with 'weeb culture' term because it is Ai-chan's culture. If westerners want to be 'weebs', that's their problem.

    No, thats called marriage

    But what can he do if they all love him, he isnt doing it on purpose, just keeps all other men away from them under guise of protecting them, even if they are strong enough to take care of themselves.

    Half are also slaves.
