Anime/Pron Question

[Argh]

Hey’all

I like watching anime and there are anime forums/boards I go to to see some jokes about anime, anime news (new FMA series, for example), anime art, etc.

The problem is that while most of the posts and stuff aren’t bad at all, occasionally people post, well, the thing is the Japanese have a different view of sexuality and ummm…well, there’s this thing called “fanservice” and ummmm…

Basically, pics/screenshots/demotivational posters/fan art of a sexual nature are on these forums. I’ve pretty much made up my mind that I really shouldn’t go back to the forums/boards/things, but not sure on a scale of “bad” glancing at these sorts of things are - so long as one doesn’t look at them for the purpose of pron and not deliberately looking for the stuff.

I’m pretty sure I don’t need to go to confession for it, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to go anyways. I mean, the Holy Father goes to confession every week…

Thanks.

If you are attracted to some kind of artwork, why not try drawing, for yourself!

Looking online, it seems that one well known anime cartoonist did some drawing for EWTN on the Bible. Christian art in this form, only, in any case.

You need to become more familiar with your Faith, in order to discern what is okay and not sinful.

 

[narrowpath]

That’s the thing I don’t lke. The Japanese view of sexuality means we see things in manga/anime which would never be allowed in american comics. Doujin manga and the like…

PS I gave up manga for Lent! A sacrifice…

Yep, you know, being in different cultures and whatnot…newspapers here even have pornographic sections (which is why I think I’m very lucky I think newspapers are boring and nigh-unreadable).

Did you choose the signature you’re using because of the problem of glancing at anime images? I find it funny that a person who says that they don’t need to go to confession will have as their signature - give me chastity and continence Lord, but not yet. Even if we glance at things that are impure (and continue to go to these forums more than once) we should go to confession. So, you are right, it is not a bad thing to go. Even if you did not commit sin mortally, you have weaken yourself by even placing yourself in the presence of immodest or impure images. I would recommend you go.

Yeah that’s what I thought, even the chance of looking at a post the wrong way (even though jokes about fanservice/Rule 63 may be funny) is enough to warrant not looking.

Man I love smiley faces…

But no the signature is just my admiration of St. Augustine of Hippo - a man who led a depraved life of the very sins and vices modern society is plagued with today only to be converted through prayer and not only become a priest, but a Bishop, a defender of the faith, a saint, and one of the greatest minds in Western society. Anyone who’s struggled with sin, especially of a sexual nature, as I and many others have , should take heart that if God can redeem such a sinner as him, there’s hope yet for the rest of us, hehe.

 

[Flavius_Aetius]

Solution to others sexually immoral signatures: Most Forums allow you to not view signatures in the control panel, though that means whatever signature you put on your own profile would not be seeable except through other computers.

As for images well I cannot say but most of the time they are hidden in spoilers for size issues so hopefully it won’t be to much of a problem.

 

[The_Otaku]

Being an artist myself who draws in the anime/manga style, and one who has frequented anime boards/forums in the past and present, and often goes to sites that have anime images so I can use them for reference material when I need them or if I just like the picture, I can tell you from personal experience that it’s all about intent, and the occasion of sin.

There is what is referred to as an “occasion of sin”. Occasion of sin is defined as follows: “an occasion of sin is an external set of circumstances—whether of things or persons—which either because of their special nature or because of the frailty common to humanity or peculiar to some individual, incite or entice one to sin.”

An occasion of sin could be a person, place, thing, an action, etc., that tempts us to sin. In this case, it’s viewing images and videos that may be impure depending on the intent of the artist/creator, and on the interpretation and impression it leaves on the viewer. If you find yourself aroused or feeling guilty about these materials, they are most likely an occasion of sin for you. Looking too long causes prolonged curiosity or attention for example, and that may lead to the sin of impure thoughts, and possibly something more severe like masturbation if lust becomes an issue.

A bar is an occasion of sin for an alcoholic and he should avoid going there if he knows he will get drunk if he has a beer.

Similarly, my suggestion to you is to avoid these websites, or, use filters (if available) so you’re only seeing the “clean” content. You can also skip past and avoid the material in question if leaving the sites are not necessary. You can also avoid the problem people, as they are occasions of sin. You can do any number of things to avoid these occasions of sin.

This also goes for watching anime and reading manga in general. If you’re easily tempted by the anime girls, refrain from watching shows where sensuality plays a big part in how they are portrayed to the viewer. Which shows are sexually charged and which ones are not are usually very obvious and easily avoidable, or you can fast forward past the fanservice, etc, allowing you to watch the show without having to feel bad about it.

And on feeling bad, it’s only a problem if it’s an occasion of sin an the subject matter itself is morally wrong somehow. Unless the subject matter is already objectively or clearly sinful, watching and partaking of it, provided you are well adjusted and tempered, is not a sin in and of itself. If you can watch anime even with the big boob girls shaking around and fanservice, and it honestly doesn’t affect you and you’re not in it for that, then it’s not an occasion of sin for you unless impure actions or thoughts accompany the viewing.

You cannot control what you will see at any given time on an image board where content is uploaded all the time. Is that an occasion of sin? It could be for individuals. Are these sites occasions of sin then? Perhaps, but not for everyone. Not unless you purposely look for these materials which are sinful or cause you to lust. If you avoid them as suggested, then there is no occasion of sin, and if there is no occasion of sin, actual sin taking place is less likely.

In art, when it comes to things like style, that’s really a matter of preference and opinion. It’s certainty true that some styles are drawn with the expressed purpose of making the females look more mature and sexy, and if that type of style is something that causes temptations for a person, they shouldn’t be looking at it, and should instead look at the artwork of artists they know have a reputation for clean, sensual-free work or work that otherwise will not be an occasion of sin for them.

Even if the artists do draw sensually-charged pictures from time to time, this may not be a problem or occasion of sin if you can appreciate the art for it’s value, looking past it’s theme, and also look at it objectively in terms of skill and ability on the part of the artist. If you can develop skills like this, you won’t have to avoid the material or go out of your way to. If you’re weak to that type of artwork, style, or genre, you need to avoid it, or else you are sinning.

During Confession, we say the Act of Contrition, which includes in part, the promise or vow to “avoid the near occasion of sin”. Well, if you keep going back to your occasions of sin, then you know you have a problem, and it could progress and get worse, especially if you’re are not being contrite and are abusing the Sacraments God has provided to help you get out of this sort of loop. If you find yourself fixated or always in an occasion of sin just by being there, then it’s a clear sign that there’s no way you can visit these sites without it posing a problem for you and you need to leave them. This can be a hard thing to do, especially if you have friends there, or it’s a good source for images and videos, but it’s not worth committing sin, possibly even mortal sin, just to be there.

Dude, this is coming from your fellow anime geek. No matter what you do, fan service will always be a part of our culture at least as far as the near future is concerned. I wouldn’t say it is 100% seriously bad though to the point you need to go to Confession each time you look at stuff. That’s like going to Confession every time you glanced at Michelangelo’s statue of David.

Besides, when you think about it logically, those girls aren’t even real! I think the only problem that would arise from exposure to fan service is that it requires a bit of discipline and self-control to prevent yourself from getting addicted to the point that you then start surfing for hentai. Now that is something you’ll be going to the confessional for. (As I have recently kicks himself)

However, as a writer, I think fan service is an interesting aspect of anime/manga. On one hand, it can be used as a tool for hilarious comic relief (Ken Akamatsu’s works are a good example) and on the other hand it can provide a strong sense of realism by depicting (as you stated) the way secular Japanese society views sexuality. You can say that it makes things easier to relate to, especially if your story is in a typical urban Tokyo setting.

 

[Shin]

The standard is this: Is it normally a near occasion of sin for you to go to the place?

If you go there knowing you will normally have to battle lustful thoughts, you are sinning by risking mortal sin for no grave purpose.

Simple as that.

In all likelihood you will have to give it up. One may only risk near occasions of sin knowingly if one has prepared one’s soul ahead of time by all necessary measures and has a grave and overriding reason.

Given the state of the media today you normally have to exercise virtue and give up quite a bit to all of it, especially considering how downhill anime/manga have gone in recent times.

Do not look at fanservice period. If you find you cannot look at anime without fanservice, or if anime causes you to have impure thoughts (intentional or unintentional), than you must stop looking at anime all together. Never expose yourself to circumstances which could tempt you to commit sin (such as lust).

If you do stop looking at anime, don’t worry about it. God is probably calling you away from it to something greater, as He leads us to greater and greater goods, ultimately to Himself, who is All-Good.

Don’t you think that is something of a case-to-case basis now? There a fair number of anime nuts who plan on actually working in the industry y’know. (Myself being one of them) I’m not sure you’d want them to think that God doesn’t want them to use the talent/knack that He Himself gave them.

Does the need to come up with a critical point in a storyline count? Just thought I’d ask. I’ve been working on something recently…

You may see it as ‘downhill’ but it’s not like any attempts to make it go back ‘uphill’ were successful either. I anime mags like Newtype will be featuring shows like Flying House any time soon.

 

[Shin]

Does the need to come up with a critical point in a storyline count? Just thought I’d ask. I’ve been working on something recently…

I think you already know the answer to that question. Is your mother about to be shot? Is your house on fire? Does your back itch? Or is your art not as shipshape as you like? The difference is clear. Which rises to the level of real necessity?

You can’t voluntarily enter into near occasions of grave sin without grave necessity and spiritual preparation.

Some near occasions of sin are involuntary, they happened and it wasn’t your fault – that is that. Some occasions of sin are necessary, and if you take serious proper precautions and believe you have the spiritual strength to resist you go forwards – but this necessity has to outweigh the gravity of the risk of the sin.

You don’t go into a situation knowing you will sin, it’s the same as deciding to sin directly.

If you are determined to persist in unnecessarily entering the near occasion of sin even though you otherwise desire to avoid the sin within it… you are in sin for that reason itself.

Let me quote the Baltimore Catechism:

Q. 773. Is a person who is determined to avoid the sin, but who is unwilling to give up its near occasion when it is possible to do so, rightly disposed for confession?

A. A person who is determined to avoid the sin, but who is unwilling to give up its near occasion when it is possible to do so, is not rightly disposed for confession, and he will not be absolved if he makes known to the priest the true state of his conscience.

I put the bolding in there. So it is understood.

Every time you make a proper act of contrition you promise not to enter into occasions of sin. This is what is meant by that.

Do not expect to become holy without avoiding near occasions of sin as a norm. Do not expect to go to Heaven without avoiding near occasions of sin!

Avoid them, learn to hate them, and learn to love other ways or methods of living your life.

‘To abstain from sinful actions is not sufficient for the fulfillment of God’s law. The very desire of what is forbidden is evil.’

St. John Baptist de la Salle

Good questions and thanks for elaborating a bit more. Still, in some cases the difference may not be so clear. It’s true that situations such your a loved ones being in danger or your house being on fire can be valid situations where one is ‘forced’ into an occasion of sin. However, what if one situation that you may deem not so grave would actually lead to another situation which would be grave.

Example, when my art is not as shipshape as I desired. To other people who view art as a hobby, that may not be so bad. But if you’re an artist/writer whose income is dependent on the quality of your work, that spells poverty.

 

[The_Otaku]

I don’t know how he intends to answer it, but since you and I are in the same/similar boat (hi, nice to talk to you again by the way) I would say it’s a matter of how you discipline yourself with the first so as to avoid the latter.

For example, if I know I will have to draw pretty girls as a prerequisite, and that’s not a problem, but I’m pressured to do fanservice, then I’ve crossed a line. If one is willing to rationalize the fanservice with “it wasn’t so bad, all I did was show some legs, or appealed to the obscure fetish not everyone will have” then the real issue is when they rationalize again when they’re required to be even more sensual than before with the art, poses, clothing, etc.

The more you have to rationalize, whether as a professional or amateur, the more slippery the slope becomes, and the more the occasion of sin increases, since in this case, the occasion of sin changes constantly from one aspect of the art to another and its becomes more severe as the sin level increases.

Before I tell you how it works, which is basically with detail what i have already told you and some scriptural quotes about Christ, sacrifice, and Mammon. . . and perhaps the horrors of Hell, why don’t you do something for me? Por favor?

Think about it and tell me exactly what I would tell you. Put yourself in my shoes. Think what I will say, and say it as if you were answering yourself? I would be interested to know what you come up with. I think you already know what is demanded of you.

If your job at the bar requires you to give extra service to the customers or you get fired, what is going to happen? What kind of job is this?

Just remember no sin. If the devil offers the world… or less.

'By transgression of the law thou dishonourest God. Rom. ii. 23. When the sinner deliberates whether he shall give or refuse his consent to sin, he takes the balance into his hands to decide which is of most value – the favour of God, or some passion, some worldly interest or pleasure. When he yields to temptation, what does he do? He desires that some wretched gratification is more desirable than the favour of God. Thus it is that he dishonours God, declaring, by his consent, that a miserable pleasure is preferable to the divine friendship. Thus, then, O God, have I so many times dishonoured thee, by esteeming thee less than my miserable passions!

Of this the Almighty complains by the prophet Ezekiel, when he says: They violated me among my people, for a handful of barley and a piece of bread. xiii. 19. If the sinner should exchange God for a treasure of jewels, or for a kingdom, it would indeed be doing a great evil, because God is of infinitely more value than all the treasures and kingdoms of the earth. But for what do so many exchange him? for a vapour, for a little dirt, for a poisoned pleasure, which is no sooner tasted than fled. O God, how could I have had the heart for such vile things, so often to despise thee, who hast shown so much love for me? But, behold, my Redeemer, how I now love thee above all things; and because I love thee, I feel more regret for having lost thee, my God, than if I had lost all other goods and even my life. Have pity on me, and forgive me. I will never more incur thy displeasure. Grant that I may rather die than offend thee any more.’

Well my rationality for fanservice is for different purposes I have seen it serve. With that said, I have seen people go overboard with it and have displayed it in situations where it is not entirely necessary. I think that is were it is more likely to be an occasion of sin. As for what purposes it may serve, I’ve seen it used for comedy (e.g. Love Hina, Negima, To Love-ru, Change 123) and for the sake of realism (Air Gear, Ikki Tousen). Personally though, I have found my writing style leaning more towards the latter. One of the darkest realities I’ve seen in this world is the amount of sexual depravity in it. Things like rape, prostitution, and pornography. Mostly when I write, I try to portray just how horrible these things are and you just can’t do it without getting explicit. I mean have you seen documentaries and movies regarding prostitution? They’re both sensual yet at the same time, they show just how much misery there is in the industry.

You see, that’s my problem. I can’t say that I want to do this out of some petty carnal want. In fact, I see my so-called “sexual frustrations” to be nothing more than the degenerated form of all the stress I’ve been having. Normally, I can easily vent such frustrations by playing addictive games and so forth and in fact, I have been able to stave off any sexual temptations entirely by merely beating something senseless on my PSP screen.

However, there is more at stake here. These temptations are not the result of any desire for material gain, pleasure etc. They involve my writing style and writing is the only thing I know I can do well. I’m no good at sports. My drawing skills are extremely limited. I am no academic role-model. All I have is my vocabulary, my knowledge of English, and a crazy imagination. I’m not sure if it would be a good idea to think that God would give me such an eccentric talent (with a deviant style) only to end up not being able to use it much.

 

[The_Otaku]

With that said, I have seen people go overboard with it and have displayed it in situations where it is not entirely necessary. I think that is were it is more likely to be an occasion of sin.

I mean have you seen documentaries and movies regarding prostitution? They’re both sensual yet at the same time, they show just how much misery there is in the industry.

Writing about sexual depravity, as per your example, is largely unnecessary since we know what it is and don’t need it illustrated or stylistically written about. Writing about it for it’s own sake or topic is grounds for scandal and is a personal occasion of sin. The more you decide to write about it, the more your mind conforms to the topic, and the more your mind conforms to the topic, the easier it is to become depraved yourself the more you write, not for a lack of your own personal virtues or strengths, but because you’ve put yourself in a near occasion of sin, and simply dealing with this material or themes don’t promote growth away from the topic, but dependence on it’s inner workings. Eventually, you end up doing what hentai artists do- sensationalizing or glorifying these depraved acts.

They key to not letting it get this far is immediately setting a boundary. It’s preferable to set this boundary when it is still at the fanservice stage. Anything past that compromises everything the more you feel you have to stylize something in order to make it worth validly talking about or portraying.

I’m not sure if it would be a good idea to think that God would give me such an eccentric talent (with a deviant style) only to end up not being able to use it much.

Look at it this way:

God gave you the gift you have to write. The devil will want to use that gift so that you pervert it and use it for the wrong things, to bring yourself down and others who read it. It really comes down to this: would God approve of you writing about perverted or sexual things when these have no merit whatsoever to you or anyone else? When you ask yourself why you’re wanting to write about these things to begin, and the answer alludes you, perhaps it’s a sign of pressure from the enemy. He knows you have this gift and he wants you to squander it for your own gratification and venting release. In fact, by getting you to think that it’s a legitimate release in lieu of you not having other skills, he gets a better deal out of tempting you because he stands the chance of getting you not just into addictive behavior and thinking, but personal justification through a warped explanation of why God gave you this gift to begin with. Ie- “God gave me this gift, so I should use it to the fullest”.

Well, the “fullest” doesn’t include hentai. We know that morally. If you can set a bar for yourself and know when to say no, and stay committed to not crossing that line, then whatever romance or drama, or even fanservice you have will never extend beyond that point, and the fanservice or whatever you do write about or draw will be more well formed through your conscience and may not be as perverted as some would expect it to be. Also, talk to God about this and pray for discernment and direction. God is interested in every aspect of your life and personal growth, and we’re encouraged to come before Him with all our problems so He can help us. Ask God for the strength to help you stay committed to the boundaries you’ve chosen not to cross. Doing so is pleasing to God, because He sees you’re doing it for not only your sake, but ultimately as an act of love and respect for Him.

Of course, I’m in the same boat as you and share struggles. If you ever want to talk privately, I’m here for you.

God bless.

I just Google searched Fanservice and Anime / Porn and previewed some clips of ones for sale.

It looked to me to be a form of cartoon pornography. Incest, lesbianism, and an overall theme of female cartoon girls being dominated by boys and men.

It seemed to revolve around degrading or sexually dominating extremely young cartoon girls. Almost kiddie porn.

Some were of Anime type girls being restrained and raped by monsters, robots and aliens. Man, what is up with that?
