foreigner (means not a japanese) had sent a preliminary notice of murder to asanagi

Best kind of reaction from the artist, lol.

I like the "Smells nice" detail the best. And yes, this is the best kind of reaction to this.

So he got death threats too? Seems he isn't the only one so far...

Who were the others?

I guess someone was a little too hot and bothered by the abuse Asanagi heaps on his girls.

I do recall a few months earlier or so that Hews got a wave of hate for reasons (lewding people's waifu)

Waifu is a serious thing. Waifu is laifu.

Wow, people really can't separate fiction from reality these days, huh.

Though Asanagi responded pretty damn hilariously.

Yeah sure it's hilarious but these are not empty threat. Remember the guy who got his house burned down because of a ntr rem doujin?

To be fair,

Death threat is too much a reaction.

His latest book can be seen as a huge jab at the female rights activists that went too far

That work wasn't a reaction to feminism. The work basically said "ALL women MUST be masochists (by force if necessary)", and "ALL men MUST be sadists". (There wasn't any images of men being whipped and strangled until they unleashed their inner sadism, however THAT was supposed to work, but it's still the clear intent of the piece.)

Basically, the work overtly mandates Gorism.

I figure every artist wants to die horribly for their work, so killing them is really doing them a favor.

Probably for the "new" doujin in comiket?

This author usually has doujins with "girl defeated" (include: humillations, cattle girls, mind controlled, rape, violations and other fetish)

I hate him and his works as much as as109's crap, but hey, I'm not going to kill them or burn their house down. Seriously, what the fuck?

This so much.

Lmao that reaction. Asanagi is based.

It wasn't. Its the fact the main girl used feminism as an excuse might rub some people the wrong way.
Well I'm probably thinking too much

She isn't a feminist, but an overt misandrist. She doesn't care about women's rights or equality, she's a sociopath who explicitly enjoys hurting men to the brink of death and gets a job as a sadist because it lets her hurt people legally.

The "main character" of the series doesn't care about any of that, and just wanted a job to make money, but she was raped and abused just the same because her merely playing the role as a sadist offended misogynist sociopathic men who rape women into being "willing" masochists, so that what they do is "legal" as well.

I can't see the entire thing as anything but the personal fetish of the artist, who clearly enjoys sadistic abuse of women (being as it's the overt name-of-the-series theme of the whole thing) and simply chose to use the notion of a misandrist to "justify" the things he was already drawing, anyway. There's nothing much that wasn't already in previous Victim Girls works, it's just a convenient excuse for an artist and his male characters who were always going to draw rape/rape women. Or put another way, you could have had the exact same plot where the misandrist girl somehow defeats and sodomizes all the male characters into becoming masochists with little divergence in actual social commentary, outside of the whole thing being a story satisfying a femdom fetish instead of a maledom fetish - it only turns out the way it did because the artist is explicitly into Victim Girls, and always has been.

It's simply that in the West, there's a boiling gender politics conflict that forms a lens people want to see the world through even when it isn't applicable.

Goes to show asanagi's quite unfazed by threats from butthurt(?) people

Can hardly wait for the next Gareki

Well, how many people feel threatened by a random Internet Tough Guy from another country making threats on the Internet?

Quite many you'll be surprised.

Is this guy just give an idea for Asanagi next works?

Like his artwork and how the girls are drawn,.
Not the biggest fan of his books. (I'm a vanilla kind of guy)

Next artwork would be this girl on it, Oh boy I'm waiting with expectations

People still not understand the mindset of "This is not your country and they dont work that way" ... Which is amusing ...

Asanagi is insane, crazy, and doesn't understand human emotion at all. I don't blame people for hating his work and how he thinks about others. However, it's standard to say that violence, murder, and malice is not the answer. Becoming someone hateful like Asanagi is the opposite of how to react to things like this. Surprisingly, Asanagi is well-composed and simply disregarded the death threats, which I thought was nice.

Might as well go purchase his work at Comiket, tear it up in front of him and spit on his face. You get to show your appreciation for him, and he gets paid for his work. It's a win-win. Probably.

Funny enough, there're a lot of times when I find myself an artist that have perfect art style and horrible, horrible taste (Looking at you, ShindoL -_-)

The threat was overkill, but given the context of that specific work, I can (at least) have a little bit of sympathy with that guy

It's just porn. There's plenty of CBT/Castration stuff online but you don't see dudes complaining.
I'm not going to choke my girlfriend one inch away from death because of a porn book for fuck sake.

this comments section is hilarious, i personally don't take Victim Girls doujins very seriously, but lmao at people trying to make Asanagi out as some clever social critic of the excesses of modern feminism, he's a sweaty nerd who gets off on thinking about women being flayed and dismembered.

and of course the usual dumbass comments about how there is no feminism in Japan, and nobody could possibly criticize gender issues in Japan unless they were confused about different cultures, and blah blah blah

why are anime nerds like this

Because they're so into fake stuff (i.e. 2D waifus) and they don't interact with a real world anymore they can't tell what is real and what is not. They even believe Japan is some kind of special place there's not crime, corruption, social issues, discrimination and many other natural occurrences from living in society because they haven't been there ever except in manga books and anime series (more fiction).

Then we have mindsets like comment #1727966 that makes you question who is the real sick psycho. The guy is obviously drawing some kind of inoffensive fetish, yet people like this are the real problem because they are closet sadists waiting for a chance to make it happen.

I'm really confused on the part after the part about being laughed by his parents.

What's the point on bringing it into the topic, and is it about the person sending death threat, or is he cursing Asanagi with that ?

Should have just keep it short and simple.

I always liked Asanagi.

I like him even more now.

he should go through with his threat tbh lads it'd be hilarious

What is this victim girls series we speak of?

If it's on the same level as that Kancolle Uzuki and lightbulb thing, then I may understand.

Not really most of the time its just girls acting big and tough then they lose to dick and become cocksluts thats how every victim girl story generally pans out.

And now I laugh at korosu

Also can I find some of those pages on Danbooru?

It's a full blown hentai doujin series. Probably better off searching elsewhere.

Interesting ...
I though people would have learnt by now that Japan is just another country, with it fair shares of problems like anywhere else

...
Then again, are we going a little bit too deep into this ?

Girls ultimately lose to the Mighty Penis God. Most of girls in Asanagi's works talk and act big, and sometimes, have a lot of conceit toward men. Then they soon find out they needed to lose themselves in carnal pleasure. That's all you need to know.

I usually turn my brain off when is about Porn, but Asanagi tends to rub me the wrong way. Asanagi is a talented artist but stuff like the chikan book makes me feel dirty even If I usually have no problem with reading chikan or breaking down a girl in hentai.

The part you're missing is that this is in and of itself a reaction to popular Japanese opinions about foreigners - Europeans and Americans alike - projecting their sociopolitical views on Japanese society, without first attempting to understand Japanese society and its political nuances. Note, if you read it, how the blonde preaches on and on about her idea of "gender equality" - which, as you mentioned, is just blatant misandry, but masquerading as promoting equality - and when a man has the gall to denounce her views as misandrist and not promoting equality at all, she proceeds to frame him as a "groper" as well. It's a classic tactic of the small-minded: when you can't refute the claim, discredit the claimant.

Which brings me to the next point: it also plays on the increasingly frequent claims that women on Japanese rail lines are falsely accusing men of molestation, either for kicks or to extort the accused. This, in turn, comes from the observation that claims of chikan are increasing despite the establishment of women-only cars (which should have reduced, if not outright eliminated, the phenomenon), with the paranoid assumption being that the accusations are unauthentic.

It is a fact that Asanagi caters to the darker and more misogynistic fetishes out there, and I'm generally not a fan of his themes. But let's not take this too far out of perspective. The death threats supposedly came from foreigners (overreacting) in response to Victim Girls R (the mentioned doujinshi). Asanagi responded with this parody image, featuring a foreign girl character with little mental fortitude, who has - to borrow the net parlance - gotten "triggered" and is angrily parroting the lines from the threats sent at him.

Asanagi said:

I drew the foreigner who threatened to kill me as a pretty girl.

What kind of Light magic is this? I... I think Asanagi just became my favourite artist. I think I should write him something nice, wish him a happy new year or something.
