I would dread to read your fics if you really think 5 minutes is enough to learn the cultural differences between Japanese and American schools. As someone who has actually attended a Japanese school.

I think "dry-raping" is a bit of an overreaction. I'd rather the fic acknowledge that they are setting it in an American school - which is totally fine - than call it a Japanese school but really it's identical to American high school (which also, incidentally, I wouldn't describe as a "Dry-raping" experience)

I have a question! Are Japanese schools like their anime counterparts? Most anime high schools look like an idealized version of the real thing if not a straight out fantasy with the crazy powerful student councils and school idols among other things.

The slice of life stuff is fairly accurate, if idealized. I mean, if you're talking about the little stuff, like taking off your shoes when you walk in, everyone being in the same class all year (the teachers rotate classes, not students), the kind of stuff they do in gym class and the subjects they take, students cleaning the school/no janitors, sliding doors, yadda yadda.

oh, I'll also add, this is one thing you'll never see in anime - while all Japanese public schools have uniforms, some private schools do not have uniforms. But most anime heavily fetishize uniforms, especially the sailor-style uniform (which is pretty old-fashioned at this point, most schools have blazer/dress shirt combos), and will never, ever show a no-uniform school, despite the fact that they do exist.

Agreed. I can somewhat understand their beef with lack of research, but I can't take a complaint/review seriously when that kind of "it's so bad it's like it's RAPING me" hyperbole is used.

It's just some bullshit tactic used by people to try and exaggerate their issue in the most obnoxious, and honestly kind of offensive way to get across how ANGRY!!!1!!! it makes them.

I got enough of that bullshit from sporking communities and by now I'm just fed up with it.

(Not as bad as that but still annoying- "this badfic traumatized me" . Look unless the fic triggers some memory, or is actually about some sort of dark or violent/sexual subject matter, then this is laughable. If some 14 year old's run of the mill wish fufillment fantasy actually traumatizes you, then that's a problem with you and not the author.)

I just really hate when people use stupid hyperbole to convince people that what they're complaining about is the worst thing ever, rather than actually explaining their issues like a normal person.

Lol wow you must be fun to hang out with. Hyperbole police much? People use hyperbole all the time. "Ugh this is the worst day EVER." "This ice cream is the most delicious thing I've eve tasted!" "My twisted ankle hurts so bad it feels a truck fell on it!"

Like...get the fuck over yourself.

Nobody I know actually talks like that anymore since high school. I only see it on the internet, but your examples are very different from comparing a fic setting to rape...

(Anonymous) 2016-03-03 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not the hyperbole, it's that they thought using the term "dry-raping" was perfectly okay. Sick.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-03 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh please. Fics are never about the intricacies of the Japanese school experience. None of the differences even come up in fics. You sound like a real weeaboo, the kind who makes everything Japanese into something deep and sacred, incomprehensible to the plebs of the outside world.

(Anonymous) 2016-03-03 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
lmao but anything that isn't set in Japan is "dry-raping", amirite, OP?
