Comiket had an Area with Anime Men Handcuffed and Moaning

Comiket had an Area with Anime Men Handcuffed and Moaning

I know Comiket has been a few days ago, but there was one area that caught everyone’s attention online when it was published, showing that yes, women do get ecchi content that they think they don’t.

One criticism that people make about ecchi is when there are scenes in which female characters end up in awkward poses or with little clothing, and there are those who comment “would you like it if male characters were drawn that way?”

The problem is that… male characters have been drawn the same way for female audiences for years, but little of what is produced ends up reaching the masses. Ecchi content aimed at women tends to be more niche, but it does exist.

The mobile game What in Hell is Bad? is a game full of husbandos for the female audience, where you can see them almost without clothes and in all possible poses. The game was at Comiket with a peculiar stand!

The stand consisted of screens behind bars (to simulate a jail) and the male characters were trapped in scant clothing and moaning. If you want to see the video, click here. An otaku passed by and recorded it.

The situation reminded some otakus of the attacks that ecchi content aimed at men causes on the internet, but ecchi content aimed at women does not cause the same strangeness.

Let’s see the reactions to the What in Hell is Bad? stand.

“People say that if the roles were reversed, there would be controversy, but this is Comiket, so it doesn’t make sense. In fact, the booth next door is ‘Taimanin’ with its full erotic theme, and no one is criticizing it. Real otakus, both men and women, know how to have fun within appropriate limits, so outsiders shouldn’t bring up this unnecessary feminist discussion.”

“This is really disgusting. I’m a fujoshi too, but when it’s done so explicitly like this, I can’t stand it. This kind of thing should be done discreetly, right? And the fact that it’s at a company booth is even worse.”

“If these were female characters, it would be criticized, but since they are male characters, it is applauded? That’s disgusting. The fans who are happy about it (fujoshis?) are also disgusting. It seems like the level of decency is very low. What’s wrong with this work?”

“When I see things like this, I really think that the Japanese are masters at creating perverted ideas with impressive technique, leaving everyone speechless. Japanese otakus have an unparalleled passion for eroticism. I have to admire that, I love it.”

“When I heard that the booth next to me at Comiket was ‘Taimanin’, I thought it’s cool that there is a place where both male and female works can be openly displayed. After all, it’s not a public bookstore, so they should do more of that.”

“You think it’s a Japanese eroge, but it’s actually foreign. You can choose the genre and the main story is good. Please support Helba-kun.”

“I don’t like BL and seeing men being portrayed like this also bothers me, it’s disgusting. The booths at companies lately are really weird.”

“I guess it’s okay because it’s Comiket, right? (After all, Comiket is a mix of taboos, fetishes and adult content). But if they were female characters, they would definitely be harshly criticized by some people.”
