Recently, a Japanese rapper, by the name of Ryoff Karma has accused the entire anime community of promoting Lolicon fetish, criticizing the entire moe culture.
The rapper has slammed allegations on the industry for allegedly promoting their endeavors through prepubescent, girls in a sexualized manner. He also pointed out that the country uses the 2D lolicon fixation as a source of national pride, and they should be ashamed of it.
According to Karma, while the anime industry has been growing exponentially for the past few years, one of the major reasons behind it is their alleged use of fanservice and sexualized characters. These aspects degrade the industry as a whole and bring a bad name to the Japanese culture and the anime community.

Karma stated:
Sure, there are plenty of excellent anime, but it’s tough to see even anime that’s just 2D lolicon fetish acting like it’s something Japan should be proud of culturally. It’s also really painful to see struggling local areas, whose other industries have weakened, desperately pandering to otaku with lolicon marketing.
Lolicon is a genre in Japanese culture that focuses on young characters and portrays them in a sexual way and isheavily criticized because of it.
The prominent rapper explained that Japanese culture prides itself on using prepubescentgirls in a sexualized manner. This is a shameful thing, and it hurts the overall image of the ever-growing Japanese anime industry.
Ryoff Karma is Strictly Against Local Communities Using Anime For Promotion
While talking about the 2D lolicon fetish and the moe culture, Karma pointed out that local communities often use such anime characters for promotion. He stated that should avoid relying on moe culture for promotion as it affects them in the long run and repels ordinary people.
In places that are already losing population, using this for some temporary buzz or calling it a ‘pilgrimage site’ only draws a short-lived crowd of otaku, while pushing ordinary people even further away. It doesn’t matter how much effort is put in. Use your brains more.
Karma’s opinion on the Japanese anime culture and the 2D Lolicon fetish being a major part of it was quite controversial. At the moment, the anime industry is flourishing, and such statements spark huge debate.
