    Why is the man grooming the dog saying he thought he hired groomers?

      His business is expanding, you could at least be a little happy for him, baka.

    In defense of the Persona one: I think the main character of Persona 5 is supposed to be a self-insert, and as an adult playing those games it’s kind of nice to have a romance option who isn’t a teenager.

      I think the persona one was a nice thing that was cringe at first on purpose and then expanded into an actually very well written social link. A better version of Maya in Persona 3, in a way

    Who are the girls on the very left and in the yellow blouse?

    source
    • bunnyBoy@pawb.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yellow blouse is Sadayo Kawakami who is a teacher at the high school that the main character goes to. You can choose to date her, which has some not great implications, thus the groomer thing.

      Don’t know know the other ones

    Are their any male groomers in anime? Or would that be “to far” while women do it is considered a kight hearted joke

    • MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Any harem anime that involves younger girls and an older guy. Even if he’s not full on grooming they trot the joke of him being a groomer out.

      • rumschlumpel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        How old is that guy, though? Most harem shows I’ve seen, the guy is about 17 (i.e. late school age) and doesn’t usually treat girls younger than maybe 14 as viable love interests, but the women in the post are full-on adults.

      I’m surprised nobody is bringing up Rising of the Shield hero here. Bro buys slave children which, while still belonging to him and having magic that forces them to obey his commands, develop feelings for him, presumably due to Stockholm syndrome.

        Yeah and he explicitly has zero interest in them sexually or romantically.

        I feel like a big thing that changes how one would percieve Naofumi as a groomer is that he doesn't see any of the children as potential sexual objects. In fact, Raphtalia is quite upset at that point, because she desperately wants him to lewd the tanuki loli and he's not having it.

        One peak oldschool example of grooming in anime is definitely GTO. That guy's a creep. The only reason it seems remotely acceptable is he's the protagonist and it's framed like he's a good guy and when he's being a creep it's funny. In addition to the power imbalance of being their teacher, he also uses huge amounts of violence and gang connections to get people to fall in line. The levels of wrong are layered. It's impressive in retrospect.

        The “MC gets slaves and it’s ok because different world” fad in anime is so annoying. Adds nothing and lazy as hell. I need the writers to at least be on par with my DM in motivating the formation of a party.

      CLAMP School Detectives has this kindergarten girl go on a date with her male teacher.

      I think CLAMP does the male groomer thing quite a bit, actually. Seishirou and Subaru from Tokyo Babylon, for example.

        In the Cardcaptor Sakura manga (also CLAMP), an elementary school teacher gives an engagement ring to one of his students. Also, Sakura’s dad was Sakura’s mom’s high school teacher when they met.

      Well, in Persona 5 (third from the left), you play as a high-school student, and your first boss fight is against a volleyball coach, who sexually harasses one of the students. Meanwhile, your romance options include 1) a goth doctor, 2) an alcoholic reporter, 3) a fortune teller working in a red light district, and 4) your homeroom teacher whose secret side hustle is for a sexy maid service.

      There are many: the dudes from Bunny Drop and Honey and Clover, which are the adoptive fathers of their love interest; the chiropractor from Ranma and the teacher from DDDD. Just some infamous ones.

      • Feyd@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Usagi drop is kind of a weird one because the final act with the romance was out of left field and is pretty much universally reviled. The entire rest of the story he was just being a dad. Also they didn’t adapt that part to the anime.

      I think the difference is that good/popular anime will still have women groomers where as most anime involving a male groomer is just fetish/wish fulfillment.

      I didn’t finish Evangelion… I was at the point she was yearning her special agent crush. Did she really become a groomer? 😭

      source
      • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        In the End of Evangelion movie, Misato kisses Shinji and says “We’ll do the rest when you get back.” I don’t know if I would count this as grooming though, because Misato was literally dying this was likely intended purely as motivation to appeal to a dumb 16 year old boy’s brain. I mean, the next shot is Misato laying on the ground dying in a pool of her own blood. Up to that point Shinji was refusing to pilot Unit 01, and Misato was begging him to pilot it (again lol) in that scene, and unfortunately even a dangling carrot of sex wasn’t enough to motivate him to save humanity.

        Some say there is another part in epidose 23 where Misato also attempts to have sex with him, but I don’t remember it well. Describing the relationship between Shinji and Misato is a difficult one, because Misato fills many roles throughout the show. So too it is hard to really say if Misato is actually a groomer or not, because of the context of what happens in the show/End of Evangelion film. She doesn’t have the exact same role in the Rebuild movies. The meme is probably because everyone remembers her kissing Shinji in End of Evaangelion, but they probably all forgot she literally died in the same scene.
