What the hell is Kodomo no Jikan’s message?

kodomo-no-jikan

So I just saw Kodomo no Jikan. And boy, it was something that I didn’t expect. The picture above was relatively harmless, and this YouTube videos made it look kind of cute:

In fact, this ending video kind of enthralled me (well, the beginning at least). So I actually watched it thinking “This might be a soothing Anime about a good teacher and innocent kids.” What I got instead was “This is a mind raping Anime about an extremely nice lolicon who is picked on by snots who knows a bunch of sexual terms.”

In all truth and honesty I wonder if this show is trying to give out a message or something. Is it trying to say that a lot of teachers are lolicons? Or that they’re virgins? Or maybe that the kids are learning a lot about sexual education  through external means and should really be put down. Sure as hell kids will be kids but if they know what sex it really makes you wonder: Where the hell did they learn it from? And the word “virgin”? The hell? Are they trying to say that these little kids were already deflowered by someone or their own fucking family? To further explain my thoughts of this, why the hell does that black haired short-loli know what a “finger fellatio” is? I thought “Oh, it’s one of those things where kids think that sucking on it will heal it.” No, these kids actually had vulgar thoughts behind it.

I’m going to continue watching this until the end and well, just hope that it doesn’t over-mind-rape me. If it doesn’t, I’m going to start watching Higurashi as well.

Oh and, it’s funny that the protagonist is the virgin hero who saves the little girls.

I’m going to have to watch some hard-core DMC just to normalize this loli shit.

    Just read the manga. More mind-fuckery ensues, but the characters are done well and it’s actually an interesting story.

    It’s not just done to mess with peoples’ heads (though it certainly does that). It’s a postmodern deconstruction of the stereotype that girls are always innocent and sweet.

    Quoting from my post at AD:
    The entire point of Kodomo no Jikan is that, given the roles typically assigned in the genre, the girl is supposed to be innocent and pure, and she is not. If you do not read the work with the expectation that the girl will act in a certain manner, then the work cannot contradict your expectations, and thus its literary significance in challenging those expectations is lost. Kodomo no Jikan, in subverting the conventional roles, asks why the roles exist.
     
    At first glance you might say that’s ludicrous, as in America it is a given that kids are sweet . . . and yet if you observe kids closely, they can also say the most horrible things to each other and do the most horrible things because they have no grasp of the consequences of their actions. Kodomo no Jikan therefore amounts to a suggestion that we stop idealizing kids. Of course, it goes overboard in the process – Zettai Karen Children does the same without completely messing with peoples’ heads.

    Post modern deconstruction of a sterotype?

    seriously, people will say anything to defend their disgusting fetish, this shit will rob what little soul and self respect a person has, avoid it at all cost before you start raping women and telling the police that you were conducting research into the what makes up the internal workings of the female psychoanatomy or some other bs
