The Japanese have funny names for their fanboys. Cockroaches for Sony and Molesters for Xbox. What is it for Nintendo? I hope the name is just as amusing



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I thought it was something about being pregnant for Nintendo fans.

Nintendo fans are called the "Pure Bloods" in Japan. I could have just made that up on the spot however.

I think this is true. Ghibli films are treated as Pixar films (great, but for kids) and most other shows are treated with a kind of cautious feelings because of unfamiliarity. Some things have older fans because they grew up with it, but they tend to ignore a lot of the new stuff. Doesn't help that 90% of anime airs well after midnight.

I do not know about television.  I will say in the age of internet you can access things on your own schedule.  Crunchy Roll is a good site as well as various localization ones (Funimation, etc.).  

I'm not quite sure how this all related to what I was saying. I obviously like anime, and know how to obtain whatever I'm looking for.

You stated 90% of anime airs after midnight that create a perception.  I was countering that internet age has no schedule of when things are on.  From my experience more and more people are abandoning traditional cable/satellite model for internet and services like Netflix and/or Hulu.

Wait they call Xbox fans Pervs and molesters yet their country seems to embrace that kind of crap is beyond stupid

But they don't embrace it. Anime and the "otaku games" are not very big and often seen as for children. An older person is looked down upon for liking it just as much as they are in America if not more.

But the fact is, it's Legal to own child pornography in Japan. The age of consent in Japan is like 13 years old. What do 13 years old know anything about sex to make it legal at that age?  The only thing I can think is to make harder to prosecute rape cases.

I posting that from a Japanese point of view, because he was talking about how this was ok there and not here. I was saying it's largely looked upon the same way.

Also, most Americans (and anime fans) know very little if anything about air times, popularity, etc.

Age of consent is determined on a regional level. The national age of consent is 13, but nearly every prefecture in Japan has laws that raises that bar to 18. Please continue though.

Ok I did some research and you are correct about that but there are some region with age of 15 and Tokyo is age 17. But it's still legal to own hardcore child pornography in Japan.
