Only in Japan, Real Men Go to a Hotel With Virtual Girlfriends

[temuchin]

so i'm at home in my apartment whilst having dinner; (what kind of dinner you ask?  well: pasta with shrimp & tomatoes topped with extra virgin olive oil if you must know) and i am taking massive sips of my fancy microbrew beer as i peruse the first page of today's Wall Street Journal.   articles on currency trading, hamas, afghanistan, some bullshit about bowties and patents and finally an article about a dating sim game called "Only in Japan, Real Men Go to a Hotel With Virtual Girlfriends".

allow me to break the essentials down quickly - i know next to nothing about sim-games and such, i mean if i want to hook up with a girl i would buy one er i mean meet one, so.. a very interesting scenario i must say:  there is basically a dating-sim game called "Love Plus" with 3 girls called: Manaka, Nene (my fav), and Rinko.    enter a real life desolate vacation hideaway that peaked about 40 years ago called: Atami.   fans of the game can pilgrimage to Atami to have "romantic dates" with one of the 3 ladies.  so enter 1,500 men whom basically relive some experiences in the game with the virtual idols and help bolster the coffers of Atami businesses at the same time.

i gotta say Konami sure knows how to market a product.

a few other low-res pictures of the girls. evidently Konami doesn't employ any1 skilled in the digital arts.

I lol'd at this comment... It's always a bunch of retards running around with an inborn need to yell how pathetic some people are when something like this occurs. What exactly makes people so willing to instantly look down on others when they do something out of the ordinary?

What is wrong with men in Japan. There isn't enough women in Japan to go around? If they are going for virtual girls over the real girls I will be happy to take the real girls off their hands

All you do is run around this site making comments like that... If lolicon is so evil and to be so avoided completely, how come you're on all the threads? 
The lolicon debate is a pretty hefty one, best handled by broad-minded people who can try to take an objective look at things. I think you've said all you have to offer in your sig.

Anybody else know the old saying, "Those who cry 'you beast!'..." 

On the thread... +1 for "Only in Japan". Its not what they get up to that astounds me so much as how readily they're willing to part with their wages for it...

[Tiffanys]

How does that work exactly..?

because i always get a good laugh when loliboiz are involved? obviously, lol

and please you don't need to be smart nor broad-minded (no, they are not the same) when it comes to the loli "debate"
the reality is very simple, people just don't want to accept it, just take a look at religion etc
or psychology, how many shrinks out there? the best person to help you is yourself, you just need to be honest with yourself and think logically
it's very hard for people to admit that their views are wrong/outdated/uncertain/whatever, very hard to admit they've been living a lie for so long
and spare me the right/wrong is subjective bullshit, unless you want me to euthanize you to prove your point, i'll bite then
