'Sola' scene a dud ; Record Breaking Traffic

Apr 24, 2007 12:22 AM
Time for more updates. I updated the comics database, video clips, original art, and 'still searching' pages. That Sola ep 3 anime scene I was so hyped for turned out to be the biggest disappointment ever. I added the clip to the site anyway because the girl makes some nice mmmphs and it resembles a chloro. I mean most anime now is pretty much devoid of any chloro. I got an alert that this show called 'Reporter Blues' has a lot of chloros, but I don't know which episodes. Anyone know? And what the heck is in Lupin III ep 119 and 127?


Added three more comic scenes to the database thanks to Yatsabel. I need everyone to send me whatever they can so I can surpass the Slumberville sleepy database in size. My God, 1378 unique visitors today. That's another new record.


So I have to write a paper and do a presentation on comic book bondage. That's going to be fun. My main idea is that bondage has played a huge role in the expansion of the comic book industry. If you read comic encyclopedias, you will find that bondage is almost never talked about despite being in almost every comic in the Golden Age. The only time bondage is ever mentioned is when people talk about Wonder Woman, because she is the most knocked out/tied up character in comics. Lois Lane comes in second and Black Canary third.

In recent years, bondage in comics has sharply declined. I know this because I have seen almost everything from the Golden Age to today. In 2007 your chances of finding bondage in a comic book is very small. This is bad, not only for this website but for the entire industry in general. You see, comics are predominantly marketed towards men. I read on Wikipedia that 75% of men find bondage erotic. I believe that the recent empowerment of women has subconsciously caused comic sales to die down. I may be wrong, but it's just a theory. I'll write more later.

The last few assertions are generally correct, but I think that the prevailing cause isn't female empowerment: it's dumbing down, and the comics and anime and manga industries now pandering to the lowest common denominator, mainly comprising the delusion "comics are for kids, and kids don't need to see this stuff."

Even though (1) comics are edited, drawn, pencilled, written, printed, bound, shipped and sold by adults;

(2) said comics are mostly bought by adults from the aforementioned adults;

(3) the adults putting the things together, and the ones reading them, all probably grew up reading them anyway, but they started off as kids.

It's as if somehow the industry is just ... ticking over, printing out more of the pap they have sold before; the stuff they think worked in the past.

They haven't a clue that it was the naughty scenes, all the chloros, the sleepy scenes, the bondage scenes and KOs, that actually sold; that a hero or heroine placed in genuine jeopardy at the end of each issue meant virtually guaranteed large volume sales next issue as the fans anxiously awaited the next issue, hoping consciously that their beloved heroes and heroines would escape from the sprung trap, and unconsciously praying that she'll only leap from one chloro scene to a gassing or drugging next.

*sigh* So it goes.

Nice points! I might use those arguments. I agree; if only comics today had the scenarios from the 1940's, it would be heaven.
