Playing Animal Crossing, watching Ghibli movies, liking Pokemon etc now classifies people as "otaku". So what happens? Simple. The media just moves the goalposts. Instead of "Anime watcher", the "dangerous people" are now people who watch "late night anime". 10/14
2020-11-23 23:52:54A different spiel, but it's all the same. "Loners" who "are interested in things we (the majority) don't understand" are always painted in a bad light. Whether it's a White school shooter or a young Muslim guy, throw in the word "loner" and the story writes itself. 11/14
2020-11-23 23:52:54We're now living in a world where lockdown is making all of us isolated and lonely. Even after lockdown ends, this long moment of isolation might have lasting effects on the way people interact and open up to each other. More hobbies are becoming digital and "invisible". 12/14
2020-11-23 23:52:55And while it seems like we're "more connected" via social media, the "image we want to present" means that what people see online might not be the real person. People are connected, but doesn't mean they're not alone. Isolation is really well blended now. 13/14
2020-11-23 23:52:55Eventually, most millennials will fit the JP media's profile of an "Otaku criminal-in waiting". Instead of the low-hanging fruit, it'd be nice if JP journalists do some real journalism for once and go into topics like mental health. Until then, the stigma remains. 🤷♂️ 14/14
2020-11-23 23:52:55@OnTakahashi Very interesting thread! 🧵 the line about loneliness being well hidden now really struck a chord. Everyone in this digital age is lonely. It’s the coping mechanisms we develop to deal with it that determine how our mental health will be affected
2020-11-24 00:43:31@OnTakahashi Reading modern research on the matter, I learned that there is a repeating narrative of "JP media's covering of otaku", in which both "JP media" and "otaku" are left ambiguous. There are six years from Manga Burikko up to the murders that may point at more accurate developments.
2020-11-24 04:19:31@OnTakahashi The word "otaku" (in hiragana, katakana and romaji) reflects different concepts, in different times, by different people. Without the proper context, it's almost meaningless. The people discriminated against in the years following Miyazaki are not the same as today's otaku.
2020-11-24 04:23:49@OnTakahashi makes you wonder what would they do if its a US otaku like myself?
2020-11-23 23:59:29Este hilo es muy interesante, os recomiendo leerlo. twitter.com/OnTakahashi/st…
2020-11-29 06:08:07【The Stigma Against Otaku - A thread】 When serial killer/rapist Tsutomu Miyazaki was arrested, after murdering 4 little girls (Aged 4 ~ 7), the Japanese media had a field day trying to link these senseless murders to "otaku culture" and putting the blame on manga/anime. 1/14 twitter.com/kan_ei_sen/sta…
2020-11-23 23:52:50When you realize that Japanese media is equally shitty than Western Media when it comes the turn of drop stigmas... twitter.com/OnTakahashi/st…
2020-11-24 00:26:26What On is saying here rings pretty true based on what I've read about the MIyazaki serial child murders and from talking to everyday Japanese folks many years ago. twitter.com/OnTakahashi/st…

2020-11-23 22:43:13こんなんで殺人鬼なる言われたらアキバとか池袋殺人鬼だらけのバトルシティ始まりそうね twitter.com/kan_ei_sen/sta…
2020-11-23 23:09:20意外だけど、普通の感覚なら、エロ漫画やエロ本は隠すかも? エロ系の漫画が本棚にあっても違和感がそんなになくなったのは近年、コミケ等が一般化してからのような気もする。ワイは庭の家庭菜園に埋めて隠したりしてたし。 twitter.com/kan_ei_sen/sta…
2020-11-23 23:08:44改めて見ると、エロ系がほぼ無いのが分かるのと、いかにネットの無かった時代は都合のいい情報だけを流せるのかよく分かりましたよ。 twitter.com/kan_ei_sen/sta…
2020-11-23 23:01:05後の証拠収集によって、無数のVTRも大半がTVのドラマや特撮、時代劇等の録画テープで、当時は合法だった『少女ポルノ』は殆ど存在しなかったと判明している。 宮崎勤はオタクとしては『エアチェックオタク』であり、影響云々を言い出すならば『TV番組が悪い』となる(嫌笑。 twitter.com/kan_ei_sen/sta…
2020-11-23 22:56:32@24_589 あぁっ、「メディアの人間が本の山のてっぺんにエロ雑誌を置いて印象操作した」のは本当でしたか。 宮崎とメディアによるオタクバッシングが目立っていたから関連資料は手つかずでした。
2020-11-23 23:12:48@yukkuri_sion いや、逮捕当時の部屋については写真がで回っていますし、宮崎事件そのものについてもノンフィクションも資料も大量に出てますよ。 件の写真は読売ウイークリーの記者が事態の重大さを認識せず暴露した、『民放記者が如何にもなエロ雑誌を選んで本の束の上に載せた』と称した際のものでしょう。
2020-11-23 23:04:46@24_589 個人的には、後からこれほどの証拠が出るのは意外ですね。 大体はメディアが封殺してくると思いましたので。
