Nobody can resist Dat Oyaji Moe?

[pantswarrior]

I love how they apparently designed him with the concept of making him as unappealing to women as possible, and yet there's like a million women from all over the world in the fandom, and practically all of us have crushes on him.

YOUR IGNORANCE OF FUJOSHI ONLY MAKES US STRONGER.

[heretherebefic.livejournal.com]

They did what now? They... they thought they were making him unappealing? O.o

(Love the Uhura icon, BTW.)

[pantswarrior]

(Thanks! I do adore her, and that episode was especially a cool one for her. :D)

At the Otakon panel, Ozaki apparently said something about how they gave Kotetsu a beard because facial hair is "the kiss of death" when it comes to Japanese women finding guys attractive. XD

[heretherebefic.livejournal.com]

Ah. I wonder how many female Japanese Kotetsu fans there are...

[pantswarrior]

From what I've seen on Twitter (and Pixiv and so on), it would seem there are MANY. Unless there are lots of Japanese dudes into yaoi fan art. ;)

(Though in retrospect, I think the guys would enjoy the BFF Kotetsu/Antonio dynamic as bara-bait more than the super-cute Kotetsu/Barnaby stuff I mostly see. ...Mmm. Bara-bait.)

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

To be fair he is kinda correct on a large scale, that younger-looking guys with smooth faces are frequently most popular, and that they become popular more easily and consistently. But "kiss of death" is really too far. Especially if it's just a little chin hair and not, like, a full beard.

[pantswarrior]

Hey, I'm not the one who said it. ;)

I've noted for a long time in fandom, though, that I always wind up liking characters no one else seems to like... and one thing they frequently have in common is facial hair. So he's not too far off about American fans of anime/manga/videogames either, seems like.

[misty-days.livejournal.com]

They didn't really try to design him to be unappealing to women. They just thought that the traits that they gave him (beard, middle aged, single father, etc.) would be considered unappealing.

[pantswarrior]

Yeah, it's kind of hilarious that they were so far off. (And no, they weren't trying, but making him attractive to female fans wasn't even on their radar. Obviously, they underestimated the power of adorkableness.)

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, are you me?

[absweetie.livejournal.com]

Oyaji Moe is powerful

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

And that fucker is AMAZING. ♥

[mskye.livejournal.com]

Oho! So you graduated from macaroni to steak, eh? Good for you! :Db

[(Anonymous)]

This comment+icon combo is the most delightfully bizarre reaction metaphor I've ever seen made about this issue.

Even though macaroni IS visually accurate...

[(Anonymous)]

In other words, you were a pedophile for 15 years? Get some help.

[(Anonymous)]

Help? But they stopped being a pedophile, didn't they? :3

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Considering I'm 27, it wouldn't be 15 years unless, say, a 12-year-old liking a 13-year-old makes them a pedophile. And like I said, characters, not people. 2D complex y'see. Which I guess deserves a "get help" of its own. *shrug*

[cowgirlmaxwell.livejournal.com]

I've only seen the first episode (planning to see the rest though) and all I can say is that I'm happy that T&B happened because suddenly now me liking older men has become a bit more socially acceptable....

[(Anonymous)]

This show is corrupting me. I started fantasizing about the older men around me since I watched this show. I'm going to hell...

[sairei.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking young characters, tbh. Especially when you were about their age or younger when you first liked them. You grow up and they don't, making it feel a little awkward to still like or crush on them.
