I don't get schooled. And noone has schooled me in this thread. Quite the contrary.
So far few of you have shown the depth of insight to explain half the content of what I've brought to this thread in terms of the complexities of the problem discussed.
Never have I demonstrated a lack of knowledge of Japan, I know how things are there. There is a world of a difference between knowing about something and agreeing with something.
I will take position, I disagree with the ability to creep out a schoolgirl in her bedroom in a videogame. I think it's socially dangerous.

You did... I'm sorry, but all the other users have been more reasonable than you have. You can have an unpopular belief and still back it up strongly as long as it's logically sound. However, you failed to do that hence why you got "schooled".
The bolded is your biggest problem in whatever conversations you have with everyone. No conversation goes well with a person with that kind of attitude. You claim that you don't lack knowledge of Japan, but your comments clearly show the contrary. What's worse is that you disagree with people who have actually been in Japan and/or live there. Sorry, but Hynad, Pokoko, Mornelithe, Tamron, and Tachikoma have made their arguments more persuasively and logically.

Claims claims claims, but no substance.
Link me to a post where I demonstrated a lack of understanding of the japanese culture.

Deny, deny, deny, but you can't change the truth.
Don't have to. Your posts are already there for everyone else to see. The fact that everyone else thinks you got schooled is telling enough. You can't change what we think unless you change yourself. You're only going to perpetuate a lot of non-constructive discussion with that kind of attitude, so I suggest that you leave or make an about face. Everyone will appreciate it if this thread actually contains civil conversation rather than overreaction. I believe you've been warned a few times, not the others...
