Just found a video about anime fans being weird and the narrator said anime is for kids. Trust me I won’t show the majority of my manga collection to my sister’s kids because I think they’re too young. Anime isn’t always for kids I mean did they just ignore the different categories of series. Seinen and Josei isn’t for the young ones. Also I have to agree a lot of anime fans are a little too energetic for my taste.

The claim was that the Halloween special issue of Ribon was promoting “landmine women” by having one on the cover, which led to discussions from concerned people about the potential for young children to discover the self-harm culture of Jirai-Kei from such a magazine promoting it.

By the way, the fact that it’s a Yamikawaii feature is plastered all over the magazine anyways, including in english in the fashion segment.

Funny enough, it uses the spelling as やみかわ as it’s easier for elementary school students (which is the magazine’s target audience) to read, yet grown adults apparently can’t for some reason.
