@Ibrevis and Kadian1364: sorry for any misunderstanding! While it’s *theoretically* possible that Machias actually meant what he said to come out like that, I think you could be right about his comments being innocent ones taken out of context. Given the biased and skewed nature of the article as a whole, it wouldn’t surprise me that Alexander put a spin onto what he said or implied (I’ve not actually read Otaku USA so don’t have anything against Machias, in case my first comment implied that). Which kinda makes Alexander’s article even worse really…

Mr. Alexander should watch La Blue Girl, so that he could better understand the true nature of anime. LOL! or maybe, he did watch it before, does he? XD LOL!

You gotta believe Mr. Macias was quoted out of context, or at the very least his statements are used to support conclusions he did not mean. I can definitely see this happening:

Alexander: So what is appealing about anime?

Macias: Well, the stories aren’t so cut and dry as most American animation is. There is MORAL AMBIGUITY.

Alexander: I see! Please continue…

It helps that Mr. Brian Alexander has all the deductive reasoning, informative knowledge, and subtlety of expression as a DROOLING IDIOT.

Modern journalism at it’s best, ladies and gentlemen. OTL

Whatever it is, for a true otaku, Eng says, it is not pedophilia. “Fans abhor young looking [real-life] models,” he said. “They abhor real child porn. They do not want to be associated with that stuff.”

At least it says this. I’m not a damn pedophile.
