Question:

'ACG is always subculture.' Do you agree? Discuss.

My response:

It seems that ACG (Anime-Comic-Game) is always cursed by the mainstream culture such as Showbiz and Love-related business. For my part, it is the audiences of ACG, rather than ACG productions alone, that bring about this phenomenon.

ACG itself is a benign entertainment. It can make us relaxed through consuming the gaiety of amicable protagonist and getting stimulated by a variety of adventurous plots. Sadly, some with poor interpersonal relationships have the penchant for masturbation towards what characters they are fetishizing. This engenders Hentai recreations which is commonly found in Doujin culture fields where derivative works are commonplace as a mean of grabbing human relationship hegemony from the ACG audiences. This is like a dog leave a pee on an area it wanna occupy. When these unhealthy consumers take a lion share of ACG audiences, the general public will have negative impression towards ACG fans. In fact, mass media describe ACG fans as maniac, which is nearly equivalent to psychotic.

As described above, laymen would associate those into ACG as mental illness which is a social stigma that curse ACG into subculture. By the token of Michel Foucault's postmodern discourse in sociology, the mass society attempts to depower ACG settings so that those immediate stakeholders in ACG can get anomies easily. This further contribute to so-called otaku subculture that people involved in ACG are being more and more reclusive like hermits and refuse to communicate with ordinary persons.

Simply put, it is the sevens of human beings, especially due to the lust in ACG, that cause a source of recreation to stoop. We shall avoid our productions from inflicting with primordial drives such as sex and violence in any sort of purposes, and, if cannot be eliminated, we must use these necessary elements of evil in moderation for the sake of health to our next generations.
