Creepy Trend...

As if you'd let your 10 year old daughter dress up like a Japanese doll or Brittany Spears.

I'm not making this stuff up:

Im not disputing that, but to say "This is japanese - The japanese have sexual fetishes - Therefore it has to be a sexual fetish of some sort!" is dumb.

Cosplay is the term for the "anime dress-up", and since it's done for fun and on occasion it's far more harmless than western girls who dress up like skanks on a daily basis. With there being just one or two full-length photos ( all the other ones were practically chin-up), with it referring to barbies rather than manga, and with western artists like Nicki Minaj it's hard to pin the blame overseas and on fetishes.

Who cares? There is nothing sexual about any of it.

I wasn't either. A friend of mine went to Japan and told me about those vending machines....ew.

Your second link didn't work, but I got the idea. haha

I don't think that is legal in Japan. Some businesses created that for shock value. I highly doubt they are really panties worn by girls.

This is just what society is missing! If we had more used panties vending machines, we wouldn't be stuck in this economic crisis!

Lipp you are right. There is absolutely nothing sexual about cosplay and I think dad's the world over would be pleased to have their daughters dress like this (and make the top 20):
