I don't know that she's especially into hentai, but she's way into some anime character that's used to promote music on YouTube or something? I don't really get it.
Hatsune Miku? May not be the same thing your kiddo is in to, but boy is my very gay nephew obsessed. It is entirely adorable. I even added "CV01" to the ssid of the WiFi because I am the cool aunt.
Yes, that's who it is!
If it helps give context, Miku is more of a mascot for a text-to-voice project/software that can be used to program singing using her voice or other voices too. I think all the voices have mascots that they call vocaloids.
The videos are probably promoting songs where her voice is used.
I think she tried explaining that to me, but (sorry fans) when someone starts talking about Anime stuff, my eyes start to glaze over.
Ok, maybe try the older cyberpunk angle? It's a real life Idoru from the William Gibson novel.
It's fine, I'm a dad. I'm not supposed to understand what my teenager is into.
Tbf, she is pretty cute.
Whatever does it for you, I guess. Her proportions are not exactly what I would find attractive if I saw her walking down the street.
That's true. I guess you have to kind of consider it in the context of the style? Anime leaves out a lot of detail in the face, and changes proportions around, so you have to have that cipher in your head that accounts for that, maybe?
That's how it starts...
thousand yard stare intensifies
I'm not going to kink shame my daughter. If she's into anime girls, that's fine. I just hope she doesn't expect to meet one in real life.
Bro just jinxed his daughter into marrying a Waifu 9000 bot in ten years
She just needs someone to put on a mask!
What they get up to in their private life is none of my business, but we don't wear anime masks to dinner in this house, ladies.
Is this a new Shaye St. John video?
We humanize things that have traits we attach to. After all, many of us understand a dog is an animal and yet they are also often a part of our family in very human-like ways, including how we talk to them in complete sentences, and may even include them in conversation. So then it becomes less about physical attraction, which is certainly there for a lot of people and anime characters, it then becomes about an emotional bond. Absolutely none of this is a problem until it crosses that invisible threshold where that bond becomes more affection and eventually longing.
Thankfully, most people stop at the bonding part where they enjoy a creator or a character and understand that is all it is: A Creation fundamentally distant from them.
Sorry, I meant I didn't really get the "anime character that promotes music on YouTube" part.
As I said to someone else, I'm not going to kink shame her, I just want her to know that any girl she meets in the real world will not be like that anime character. And I think she understands that.
Honestly, getting her to meet people in the real world at all is a slog.
Oh no I didn't mean any sort of shaming. Only that this digital world creates new stressors and puzzles for both parent and child. A kid just hitting 15 has essentially grown up in a world where digital and anime characters influenced them. Many kids may attach some emotional prerequisite to those characters and unintentionally judge others based on that perspective. Moreover, hanging out in person after The Lost Years (Covid) is almost secondary to the ease of things like Snapchat and other obligations such as school bring.
I don't envy any parent trying to work through this.
I guess, but I know a lot of kids in the 80s who considered this character a big part of their sexual awakening...
(I think it was the leg warmers)
Also, this character for slightly younger kids:
(Damn, just doing an image search for her brings up some weird shit.)
