The Japanese reacted with ecchi losing popularity in the West, and we have comments like:
“If it’s necessary to the story, then it’s necessary and it will have a conclusion.”
“Why are erotic scenes so common in horror films?”
“Wasn’t Generation Z a Japanese term?”
“Most of the time, love scenes aren’t necessary. It’s weird to have a kissing scene while fighting or running away from zombies and aliens.”
“Sex scenes are essential in horror films, aren’t they?”
“Maybe it’s not a question of being conscious, but rather of having an aversion to things of a sOxual nature.”
“Whether with strangers or family, sOx scenes aren’t necessary in something everyone watches together.”
“This is a result of the brainwashing that er@tism is bad. Now, I’m not even interested in the opposite sOx.”
