I understand that Asia has a com-plete-ly different culture to the West and a different idea of what family is and how relationships work. But in Japanese horror fiction, there is this endless concept of innocent underage girls falling into the clutches of evil men and/or being tortured and exploited, usually sexually.
For instance, take the Silent Hill character Alessa - young teenage girl of 14, gets tortured by a cult (in the original story). Rei Anayami in Evangelion - 14 year old girl with huge breasts who has appeared completely nude more than once in various episodes. The Sailor Moon series, which has more sexual undertones then a Graham Norton show. And other TV series which show schoolgirls running off to school, with their skirts flapping improbably in the wind.
I guess there's other ways of looking at it -innocence, the loss of innocence, puberty, general morals. But it just feels like there's this underlying layer which seems to make out that rape is OK... am I right?
