I don't think OP is delusional...

[(Anonymous)]

I'll make myself clearer.

Imagine three people who are reading a story. One is Amish, one is mainstream American, and one is Japanese. All three people come from cultures with widely different ideas about how often fiction should affect people's behavior. The Amish person would probably be reading a story that closely aligns with Amish morals. The American would have a wider choice of subject matter in their story, but might get judged for it pretty harshly, if others were aware of their reading preferences. The Japanese person could conceivably read almost ANYTHING and not have their morals or tastes questioned in the least.

TL;DR: The Japanese have a huge ideological gulf between reality and fiction. They don't think there is or should be any overlap.

Yeah, I really don't think so. Even in manga, you see that manga writers portray some people reacting strongly to stuff like fujoshi or fundashi so I don't believe at all that Japan is a place of wide open minds where everyone just gets that a book is a book and doesn't mean X Y out Z about its readers.

Well, I did say "almost ANYTHING", so I'll agree with you a little...

Besides the fact that I'm not convinced by your characterisation of Japan's relationship with the media and morality,the main problem with what you're saying is that you're looking at this the wrong way.

No matter what a culture's attitude towards censorship is, that doesn't meant that the mass media it produces doesn't contain messages that are then consumed by its audience. Inevitably, some of those messages are going to be internalised by that audience. Not all of it, but some of it by some people some of the time.

You seem to be focused on what the rest of society might think about the morals of a person based on their reading/watching habits. Which is quite different to the issue of what a person's reading habits might do to their morals.
