I thought the same thing but... we are. We most definitely are.

This has been bugging me forever is that kid a girl because he looks like a "super" trap and I felt scared I might be right because the "person" seems to girlish so I can't tell.

The image of a handcuffed, really young, androgynous kid stamped on a body pillow? why, there's clearly nothing wrong about it... but i heard the product is really popular among people who own minivans...

Its a trap, even says so in the first paragraph.
Although not my thing, clearly some of you are new to hugging pillows because this would probably be considered vanilla or tame compared to the majority of hugging pillows.

Well then he is a super trap.

You're the only one. I don't mind them one bit and like the designs on many of them, it's huggable art. I've seen weirder things like ammunition dakimakura.

Nope. I'm also disgusted by pillows like this. They're gross.

Not at all. I'm able to distinguish between fiction and reality, thank you very much.
It's perfectly fine if you don't like something, but I suppose this "deeply squicked out" feeling is a driving factor behind the censorship of art where anything remotely offensive gets cleaned out without precedence.
Violent video games, perverted comics, I'm fine with anything and everything. As long as there's no victim and it's fiction, have at it.

You do know that the character on there is an underage boy right? Or is everyone here desensitized as FuK?

It may be desensitization, it might also be common sense to tell that the character's not real. People don't bat an eyelid when characters get murdered and slaughtered in movies and games. This is no different save for the double standards involved.

You got the posters of each message mixed up lol
I see nothing wrong with the pillow, it would be very odd to normals but not most anime fans.

It was only a matter of time. My first though after episode one was 'how long until a daikimakura of this (alluring) trap is made? Not even six episodes

This is different. No one has instinctual urges to murder people, 95% of the time there is a weapon and a motive. You can't "normalize" murder because people aren't naturally prone to homicide.
The affect of watching violent TV shows and movies is simply not blinking when you see something horrifically violent. What happens if the case is the same when it comes to sexualizing children?
