"Fanservice"

(Anonymous) 2014-07-05 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I really think this understanding of "fanservice" is an american thing trying to explain (near)nudity with "*sigh*, neckbeards".

a) Fanservice originally referred to a sort of in-joke that could only be done with established characters. Old Spock meeting reboot-Kirk is fanservice. Sherlock quoting Ockham's Razor is Fanservice. Incidentally, seeing a desirable character naked can also be fanservice - IF THEY WERE NOT NAKED BEFORE.

b) It's not (except with pandering-only moe-things that are clearly constructed by checklist) there for calculated tittilation, but a tradition in its own right, that started out as anti-conservative, anti-colonial subversive cultural movement toward sexual liberation, and thus, even with its problematic aspects, has its place in the cultural context in which it exists. Fuck the prudes.

Incidentally, b) may be the reason OP is not tittilated. It's not meant to tittilate. It's okay if it does, but it's not missing its point if it doesn't.
