Boost this pls!

If you can handle NSFT- PLEASE BOOST THIS!

THIS IS AN ACTUAL SAFETY CONCERN! Whether you like Helluva Boss or not, if you actually care about trans lives- please don't skip this post!

As of this month, it's been announced that Helluva Boss S2 episode 5 is to be released this month. The reason why this is concerning, is the fact that the episode revolves around the premise of a grown man dressing in drag and sneaking into a high school to spy on freshman girls to murder them. Which sounds like an "average Helluva Boss" episode at first... until you consider the fact that there are laws against the drag and trans community now taking place:

The reason why this is a state of emergancy at this point: Is because the newest episode is going to present the very stereotype that caused this man to be in office- in the first place! By representing a drag queen as a "danger to children" or "predatory." Here, we see a drag queen being depicted as a "danger" to kids by pretending to be a teenager to spy on them, stereotyping drag queens as inherently "dangerous" to children, which is the exact type of stereotype that is contributing to the common paranoia towards the drag community. -and though it may not effect you, doesn't mean that it wont effect others or increase their paranoia. Not joking, imagine a transphobia catholic parent who has had the thought of voting for Desantis coming across this episode since it's out there, put on trending, and on Youtube- imagine how that would impact their vote, imagine the further public paranoia this could further cause if this episode was released to the public in the current state that it's in.

Honestly, look at this and try to tell me that it's a "positive drag representation!" Because even from the trailers alone, Moxxie is clearly being represented not just hyper sexualized, but as a actual danger to the children in the episode! This kind of representation is going to further cause dangerous misconceptions towards the drag community. So regardless of your stance on "fiction", you need to realize that representation like this is further putting lives at risk!

Drag queens are now at risk of genocide in Florida because the public see's them as "a danger to kids!" or an outright "sex predator!"

What Vivziepop needs to understand is that stereotypes arent "silly jokes!" They come from a place of discrimination, and ignorance. It's what they spread, and the more episodes portay minorities in this kind of stereotyped light, in public, where anyone can watch it, the more we are closer to acts like this being put into place. the fact that there are now laws threatening to kill drag queens as an act of genocide in Florida RIGHT NOW because Florida thinks that they're "child predators that try to get freindly with children to harm them/kill them/prey on them." So this episode isn't just poor timing- it's outright dangerous timing! I dont care if you see me as an "anti" or whatever you want to demonize me as- drag and trans lives are now even more at stake, and for the past two years, Florida has been highly paranoid towards the lgbt+ community, especially since it's Pride Month, and releasing an episode with stereotypes that have been used against drag queens at a time where the public is now highly paranoid of drag queens and those that are trans could literally contribute to the votes towards a man that is now attempting to cause a law that could mean the end of being openly lgbt+ in America- as a whole. This effects all of us! Everyone is harmed by lgbt+ and poc stereotypes- everyone! Please dont skip this!

Florida has now had repeated cases of violence towards the trans and drag community, and now they're targetting their rights as an attempt to force them into death row for being androygnous.

A literal minority genocide waiting to happen.

So really, the last thing you'd want to do, is to release an episode of a show depicting a drag queen as a "danger to kids!" at a time where the public is now trying to kill drag queens because they think of them as just that- a "danger" to children! Scene at 1:24

youtube

-and I get liking lgbt+ porn, but it's coming to a point where im starting to see so many dangerous stereotypes and fetishization on Twitter alone (this will be further mentioned in my next video) that this has now gone from "this show is offensive!" to "This show is showing stereotypes that have literally contributed to real life deaths of minorities!" The fact that Vivziepop is releasing this episode this year despite the news of this new law being widespread could potientially spread further panic amoung both consersative and lgbt+ social media alike, not just "Oh, the transphobes will be offended!" but "They're going to use shows like this as an excuse to demonize the trans community and drag queens at a time where America's law is literally trying to kill them!"

They're depicting a drag queen, in 2023, a year where Florida is trying to cause genocide to the trans and drag community since they see them as a "danger" to children! When they're not! -and presenting these stereotypes in public at a time where the world is already highly paranoid towards drag queens being around children, at all, and see drag or being trans as a "fetish that's dangerous to kids!" as a "danger" to children, is actually putting queer lives at risk! So though I get that you're excited for the latest episode, but this is actually the worst time to release media like this- the public has been highly paranoid towards the drag and trans community, and releasing an episode like this at this time with these kinds of stereotypes, I dont know if you understand this since so many of you are so young, but this could spread actual danger to these communities!

Your love of a cartoon is not more important than the lives of those around you! This goes for those many of you have harassed in the fandom as well. Stop disregarding human lives over a cartoon! These kinds of stereotypes have been contributing to the discrimination against the trans and drag community for decades, and right now, at a time where trans lives and drag queens are more at risk than ever before, there needs to be a caution towards how we treat lgbt+ representation. We need to do more research, we need to be cautious, for the sake of our safety we need to care, because the more you support these kinds of stereotypes, the more you're causing more votes to put this man into office! He's trying to become our president, this could actually put us in danger, stop representing lgbt+ this way! I understanding liking villains, but presenting us in a derogatory light will only hurt lgbt+ lives!

This isn't "old news." These are bills that are currently being put into Florida law that can severely injure or even kill real people in the lgbt+ community! It's becoming less and less safe to be out once again, so please dont release this episode so soon! Please dont release this episode at a time where drag queens are now being highly perceived as "a danger to children!" around the world! Please put genuine care into your representation, for the sake of the safety and protection of our community the least you can do is be more careful! Please be patient, im begging at this point, for the sake of the lgbt+ community and our safety please stop encouraging the use of these stereotypes and remember to boost this post as much as you can!

Francis Ford Coppola revived Victor Salva’s directing career after he was in prison for sexually abusing children, Harvey Weinstein is a sexual abusive creeper, Roman Polanski still can make movies that win awards after raping a young girl, Nickelodeon allowed a sex offender to work on children’s shows (Brian Peck) after he had been jailed for sex abuse on minors and Bryan Singer is closely connected with him, other known male sexual abusers still get to work in Hollywood, Cory Feldman claims that sex abusers surround children, Woody Allen makes tons of films despite being known as an abuser. Have I left anything out?

Hollywood is completely filled with creepers and this is making me rethink any young child actor or actress who ended up with alcohol and drug problems in their adult years.

Shouldn’t Caddicarus know that Oneyplays and his friends are really transphobic and racist? Not only that, but Oney is friends with a child p%rn artist called Shadman. And Oney has straight up said that he doesn’t care about pedophilia. Shame on you Caddicaurs, shame on you. https://youtu.be/rjG_vErbAJM

Takashi Murakami, Kaikai Kiki, moe, otaku & lolicon

Summary of what I’m about to write: I’ve researched the work of Takashi Murakami & Kaikai Kiki, along with the concept of “Superflat”, for years. This has basically driven me insane, so I’d like to hear some second opinions on my findings and the conclusions (or lack thereof) that I’ve come to. With that out of the way… this concerns something I’ve had an OCD-like obsession for YEARS now, so I’m gonna try to turn a long story into something as compact as possible:

What I’ve initially read that Takashi Murakami & Kaikai Kiki are all about: They are the creators of “the Superflat movement”, a postmodern art movement intended to criticize and denounce things like otaku culture, moe and lolicon. An article by Michael Darling, who curated a 2001 Superflat exhibition, posited that the exhibition and its works “may have” a negative/critical stance on things like lolicon.

The conclusion I came to after doing my own research after suspecting that this reading is bullshit: “Superflat” is not considered by Murakami or any of his cronies to be an “art movement”. It was a word coined by Murakami to describe the “flattened” nature of Japanese art along with the idea of “flattening” the distinction between high and low art. The man’s stance on post-war “kawaii culture” is not a moral one, but a deeply conflicted one; he goes back and forth between talking about it as a good and bad thing and he views it from varying perspectives. And above all else, purported “Superflat movement” (which is not actually a movement) is not against moe, lolicon or any of those things. I personally contacted the aforementioned curator to ask him if his opinion has changed over the years; I basically jumped through hoops to find his contact info, and I had to exchange emails with his secretary first, but eventually I got to talk to him. His answer to my question of “do you think Murakami & co intended to take a stance against lolicon/moe/otaku culture” was “in retrospect, not at all”; he agreed with my personal reading of what it all meant. One of the Kaikai Kiki artists, who goes by the nickname “Mr.”, is a self-described “lolicon”. Direct quote: “I’m releasing my fantasy world through my work, instead of acting it out in real life.”

…SO, that’s where it should all end, right? It was just a misinterpretation that sparked a bunch of rumors; there’s nothing else to talk about. Well, there is ONE thing.

The self-described “lolicon” Mr. directed a film based on his lolicon drawings, called “Nobody Dies”.

A live action film.

Featuring real underage girls.

I looked up a bunch of info on the film to see how bad the whole is and eventually I found the trailer on Youtube. I was wondering if having this in my browser history could get me in trouble, but then I realized: this is “art-house cinema”. It was shown in American art galleries and watched by rich aristocrats, pondering its deep meanings while adjusting their monocles. The film contains some obviously-sexual shots of an actress who was 16-17 at the time of filming, along with a scene of another actress eating a phallic ice cream. The aforementioned actress, if my research was correct, was 13 years old at the age of filming.

And it turns out, she was not the only one.

The full film is not available anywhere online, but there are plenty of reviews that hint at its content. Some of them do call it intentionally-disturbing social commentary:

“Throughout the film, the camera lingers suggestively on the girls, like the eyes of a shut-in comic geek, making for an altogether uncomfortable viewing. Which is likely the point.”

Others just call it otaku bullshit:

“ More than a half hour long, the tedious narrative weaves together silly flashbacks with a plethora of crotch shots. The accompanying photos depict the girls in front of various locales in elaborate costumes—from gingham uniform skirts to fashionista camo—designed by Mr. and Kaikai Kiki. What the viewer is supposed to get out of “Nobody Dies” is anybody’s guess, but if Mr. hopes to entice more than just otaku geeks, he’d better start giving a clue, or his own career may expire.“

This guy sounds like he’s typing out the review with one hand while desperately trying to convince himself that he isn’t, and that the cum stains on his monitor are an illusion:

“Take the fanservice shots of the girls’ butts, boobs, and other sensitive camera angles out, and it’s no different in theme or content from any cute, playful, bubblegum film designed to thrill tween girls.

While there are a number of these shots in the film, quite blatantly aimed directly at the girls’ chests, between their legs, or at their bottoms, the viewer hardly sees anything they would not see in everyday normal life. There is one scene in which the camera follows directly behind one of the girls in the pool, and we watch as her legs open and close, kicking her swimming stroke. When she comes up for air, we see her head and face, and then her chest emerging out of the water.. and then the camera takes us from the floor, up her long, thin, unblemished legs as she showers after getting out of the pool, her bathing suit still providing excellent coverage and concealment.

These shots make me smile; I won’t lie. I enjoy them, but not in a sexual way. And I don’t think that Mr., or his intended audience, would be sexually excited by this. There is something beautiful and peaceful and pleasant about the clean lines, clear skin, and youthful features of the young female form, and about the bright & colorful palette seen in the film, along with the innocent and playful context. Critics confuse aesthetic pleasure for sexual pleasure, the innocent, cute, beauty of a young girl for something intended by artist/filmmaker as a sexual object.”

So basically… yeah. World-famous art collective Kaikai Kiki released a film, produced by Takashi Murakami and directed by a self-described lolicon, containing “fanservice” shots of a bunch of living, breathing girls aged 13-17.

My first thought upon seeing this, likely as a result of my utter self-hating lack of confidence in what I consider “common sense” was “Wait, what if I was wrong? No way would the art world embrace such a thing unless it is explicitly presented as satire. Clearly “Mr.” is a character and the whole thing IS in fact intended to satirize lolicon”.

But… no, that can’t be right. Takashi Murakami openly protested against the whole lolicon censorship thing from 2011 while teaming up with Seiji Matsuyama, the guy who made motherfucking EIKEN. He basically tricked Britney Spears into dressing up as a character from a loli manga by Matsuyama, then later revealed his actual intentions while going on a rant about artistic censorship. There was no public statement I could find even vaguely hinting that “Mr.” is a character; in fact, I found articles dating back to the 90s, from before the word “Superflat” even existed, where Murakami talks about him as “his otaku friend” who goes to conventions and collects doujinshi. Mr. has an entire gallery of lolicon and shotacon porn drawings which were shown at multiple exhibitions, and yes, that includes the US. The only “excuse” I could see them try to pull would be that the film is “self aware” and is intended to “explore” otaku-ism and fetishism in post-war Japan, but that doesn’t change the fact that they let a 39 year old self-described “lolicon” man direct a film that sexualizes teenage girls.

And even if they DID come out and say “no, it was an epic ruse all along xD”… WHO THE FUCK WOULD BUY THAT? I’m not insane for thinking that such an explanation would be an ass-pull, bullshit excuse, right?

I mean, as you all know I’m the type of person to defend such things as long as they are drawings, but doing it to LIVING underage girls as a 39 year old otaku film director is completely fucking different and you won’t see me morally justify that. And yet, this seems to be… a thing in Japan. Looking up the kind of teenage sexualization present in Japan will not yield pretty results. Girls that start off as “junior idols” will become accepted in mainstream TV, including anime and tokusatsu. The Japanese version of Playboy features AKB48 members, some of which are no older than 13. This entire thing seems to be an untouchable aspect of Japanese culture that people are afraid to tackle and criticize.

But yet… this was not merely shown in Japan, but also at the AMERICAN Kaikai Kiki exhibitions. This movie is a thing that was approved of by the US “fine art” world. And the only thing I can ask is… HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN.

These are not rhetorical questions I’m asking; I’m pretty sure I have literal OCD, and this is actually legitimately driving me nuts. Can the art world serve as a “safe space” for ANYTHING? Is there some kind of public statement that this is a work of “satire” which somehow overrides Murakami’s statements in defense of lolicon and Mr.’s entire “lolicon otaku” history? Am I insane for thinking that, even if such an excuse existed, it would be pure bullshit and it is insane to let your 13 year old daughter star in such a film with the weak excuse of “it’s satirical”? Am I actually correct that there is no “this is wrong and immoral” message behind the film, and the whole thing is not a harsh criticism but a symptom of a Japanese cultural problem? Was the film simply accepted within the American art world because it had the Murakami name on it, and no one dared to question it? Is my reading of this whole thing wrong and insane, or is the rest of the world (or at least the art world) batshit insane and incomprehensible? Is the “yes I’m weird :)” self-awareness and acknowledgement of the “culture of cute” context somehow enough to justify letting a 39 year old man make such a movie, and then showing it off in American art shows? What the fuck happened here?
