Fanfare

There’s something disturbing about a person who would find nude cartoon characters disturbing.

BTW, this is quite a fun little animation!

Fun stuff!

stayzuplate: Check out my comments about the Japanese farting paintings. I was surprised that they blocked out the private parts of the cartoon characters.

There’s just something naked about these cartoon characters that’s mildly disturbing. I think it reminds me a little of the guy who posted a comment here a coupla years ago. He was a self-professed pedo who provided a link to a site where cartoon characters in nature settings – like genderless cherubs – were lolling around naked. Total creepfest.

Go ahead – look at a naked Ken doll, and tell me that’s not disturbing.

Really, stayzuplate?

A diatribe is a “bitter and abusive speech or piece of writing”.

Sorry, your attempt to troll me fell kinda flat. If you can’t make out when I’m serious and when I’m joking, that’s not my problem.

The serious part is that the site the “reformed” pedo linked to was indeed a disturbing site. He felt it was a safe site to visit since, although the subjects were cartoony-lifelike, they were not anatomically correct. Therefore, he was able to justify his viewing such “naked-but-not-really-naked” pictures. In a way, obeying the letter of the law, but not the spirit.

Feel free to class that speech as a diatribe, but it’s really more long-winded. I do note that the archaic definition is “a prolonged discourse”, so you may have me there.

The Ken doll comment, by the way, was a joke. Although now that I’ve had to explain that it was, it couldn’t have been much of one.
