I love how this thread starts off with " the earliest known record *I* could find" and then people took it seriously like it was a FACT and are using it as evidence of the "pedophilic roots of ahegao"

When it was literally a white guy finding one example in ero guro

Because of this thread serious and harmful misinformation is being spread and linked to other issues.

It completely discounts how there are a large number of female hentai artists reclaiming their sexuality and how ahegao is used to show expression and get around jp censors

To claim it's roots started there when this person has no access to japanese literature that isn't even translated and dates farther back than what they "could find" is just

Also I feel like there's a huge disconnect with the person who made the thread and the people reading it at what "ero guro" even is. And to tie that in to stereotyping is so ... misguided.
