Post Your Controversial Bemani Opinions

15+ years ago? no.

Having anime girls in BEMANI illustrations does not promote lolicon. Same with anime boys not promoting shotacon.

EDIT: nice nice

Yes. If we want to talk about "solved games," 4K Etterna is a prime example. Literally the only way that game can evolve is by dumpstreaming.

this one's definitely going to upset some people

Remember when I said something pretty similar to what Ryan said in either the DDR A or A20 thread (can't remember which, just that it was one of the two) and got called a pedophile for it

Good times

I can't say that I don't utterly hate the "uwu sugoi kawaii-desu" aesthetic and that it doesn't make me cringe internally, but some people take their dislike of it way too far.

... but, uh, seriously, remember when the girl DJs in IIDX were allowed to look cool instead of cute? I miss that.

Honestly, I get how the overt "moe" style that's been taking over otaku and weeb culture can be off-putting to some people. It can be quite in your face and filled with so much cutesy-wutesy energy that it gets a bit ridiculous. The problem I'm seeing with a few folks is that they go way out of their way to claim that the cute anime girl trope is there for sexualization of minors and that all the players and developers should be punished for supporting this style.

It's really fucking stupid. Stop doing that. You know who you are.

I think Rio Hiiragi and TAG is a bad combination which DDR had in last years.
If DDR tried to make a new TERRA with them, sorry but it didn't work.

What would be cuter is if people stopped sexualizing minors

I'll honestly never understand why, out of all the U.M.U. idols, it was Rio Hiiragi that got taken under Konami's wing the way she did. Determination was okay, I guess, but I definitely not the best to come out of that event.

This is probably about me and I'm somewhat(?) joking about it but I mean I think there's a fair point to be made in there?

Like go here and click "jacket"

What’s wrong with the jacket?

Here’s a 676x676 if you wanna explain the details

Hey so I'm just taking a guess but it's possible that what's wrong with it is the fact that you can see up her fucking skirt except for the fact that she's fucking coyly holding her legs together so that you can't see her juvenile fucking genitalia but maybe it's something else??

Or maybe it's the fact that the artist has intentionally drawn her without any underwear and if you look closely you can see where her inner thigh meets her taint

Or it could be that this art of the cute teenage anime girl isn’t sexualized at all and that you’re splitting hairs whenever there’s thigh skin revealed or that there’s just a tease of possible panty peeping.

Leave Meumeu alone she didn’t do anything wrong 😭

---

I'm not trying to be argumentative or start something so I mean, where I stand is if you don't see anything strange about that jacket we probably will never see eye to eye on this.

Can’t really see eye to eye when there isn’t anything strange or harmful to begin with, is there? Besides, why are you even really looking at those specific areas to begin with?

---

I'm with lrxevan here, that's some questionable art. If it wasn't an anime girl I feel like people wouldn't be defending it.

Edit: Like, questionable enough that I'm posting this at my job and had to be careful that the picture wasn't on the screen when I was replying to this. So yeah.

---

I'll just add that I stumbled across this jacket on some Konami official site and was pretty disgusted with it.

Wow, that one hasn't got boobs, I wouldn't call her a teen :/


Isn't this from a KONAMI game?


I thought it looked normal until I noticed that you can see legs through the middle girls skirt, and what I assume are undies

---

I think that's from a capcom or sega game but still, it seems like this stuff goes across rhythm games in general. I know one game, I think called Cyrus, had secret messages about shota.
