Nijikon
or , from the English phrase "2D complex", is a sexual or affective attraction towards two-dimensional anime, manga, and light novel characters, as opposed to an attraction towards real human beings. It has been interpreted by some observers as a genuine sexual orientation. This attraction is primarily directed towards the non-realistic characteristics found in manga and anime styles. One of its sub-attractions is Lolicon. Initially discussed as male otaku sexuality in Japan, it has more recently been examined within the context of queer studies, extending beyond Japan, and referred to as a form of fictosexuality. History The term "nijigen complex" or "nijikon" was used to refer to the partiality towards anime girls within anime and manga fandom during the lolicon boom of the early 1980s, which followed the anime boom of the late 1970s. It began to be used as jargon at that time. Initially, it was also called "2-dimensional lolicon" and "anime lolicon." However, even ...

Lolicon
In Japanese popular culture, is a genre of fictional media which focuses on young or young-looking girl characters, particularly in a sexually suggestive or erotic manner. The term, a portmanteau of the English-language phrase " Lolita complex", also refers to desire and affection for such characters (, "loli"), and their fans. Associated mainly with stylized imagery in manga, anime, and video games, ''lolicon'' in '' otaku'' culture is generally understood as distinct from desires for realistic depictions of young girls, or real young girls as such, and is associated with '' moe'', or affection for fictional characters, often '' bishōjo'' (cute girl) characters in manga or anime. The phrase "Lolita complex", derived from the novel '' Lolita'', entered use in Japan in the 1970s. During the "''lolicon'' boom" in erotic manga of the early 1980s, the term was adopted in the nascent ''otaku'' culture to denote attraction to early ''bishōjo'' characters, and later only to y ...

Human-oriented Sexualism
Fictosexuality is sexual attraction towards fictional characters. Romantic attraction towards fictional characters is called ''fictoromantic attraction''. The term ''fictosexuality'' describes the desire to engage in sexual relationships with fictional characters, or the experience of desire for fictional sexual material distinct from desire for flesh-and-blood people. ''Fictoromance'' is romantic attraction to fictional characters. The asexual community has used the term to describe people who experience sexual attraction to fictional characters and not to real people. Fictosexual individuals may face discrimination and marginalization due to ''human-oriented sexualism'' and ''humanogenderism''. As a result, social movements exist to promote the acceptance of fictosexuality and the relativization of human-oriented sexualism and humanogenderism. In 2019, the world's first advocacy group for fictosexuals was established in Taiwan. Terms in different languages In Chinese, the t ...

Moe (slang)
, sometimes romanized as ''moé'', is a Japanese word that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, video games, and other media directed at the ''otaku'' market. ''Moe'', however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject. ''Moe'' is related to neoteny and the feeling of "Kawaii, cuteness" a character can evoke. The word ''moe'' originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Japan and is of uncertain origin, although there are several theories on how it came into use. ''Moe'' characters have expanded through Japanese media, and the concept has been commercialised. Contests, both online and in the real world, exist for ''moe''-styled things, including one run by one of the Ethics Organization of Computer Software, Japanese game rating boards. Various notable commentators such as Tamaki Saitō, Hiroki Azuma, and Kazuya Tsurumaki have also given their take on ''moe'' and its meaning. Meaning ''Moe'' use ...

Otaku
is a Japanese word that describes people with consuming interests, such as anime, manga, video games, computers or other highly enthusiastic hobbies. Its contemporary use originated with a 1983 essay by Akio Nakamori in '' Manga Burikko''. ''Otaku'' subculture is a central theme of various anime, manga, documentaries, and academic research. The subculture began in the 1980s as changing social mentalities and the nurturing of ''otaku'' traits by Japanese schools combined with the resignation of such individuals to what was then seen as inevitably becoming social outcasts. The subculture's birth coincided with the anime boom after the release of works such as ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', before it branched into Comic Market. The rise of the internet and media further expanded the otaku subculture, as more anime, video games, and other media catering to otaku interests were created. The definition of subsequently became more complex, and numerous classifications of ''otaku'' emer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fan Fiction
Fan fiction or fanfiction, also known as fan fic, fanfic, fic or FF, is fiction typically written in an amateur capacity by fans as a form of fan labor, unauthorized by, but based on, an existing work of fiction. The author uses copyrighted characters, settings, or other intellectual properties from the original creator(s) as a basis for their writing and can retain the original characters and settings, add their own, or both. Fan fiction ranges in length from a few sentences to novel-length and can be based on fictional and non-fictional media, including novels, movies, comics, television shows, musical groups, cartoons, anime and manga, and video games. Fan fiction is rarely commissioned or authorized by the original work's creator or publisher or professionally published. It may infringe on the original author's copyright, depending on the jurisdiction and on legal questions, such as whether or not it qualifies as "fair use" (see Legal issues with fan fiction).

Fan Art
Fan art or fanart is artwork created by Fan (person), fans of a work of fiction or celebrity depicting events, Character (arts), character, or other aspect of the work. As fan labor, fan art refers to artworks that are not created, commissioned, nor endorsed by the creators of the work from which the fan art derives. A different, older meaning of the term is used in science fiction fandom, where fan art traditionally describes ''original'' (rather than derivative) artwork related to science fiction or fantasy, created by fan artists, and appearing in low- or non-paying publications such as semiprozines or science fiction fanzine, fanzines, and in the art shows of science fiction conventions. The Hugo Award for Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist, Best Fan Artist has been given each year since 1967 to artists who create such works. Like the term fan fiction (although to a lesser extent), this traditional meaning is now sometimes confused with the more recent usage described above. F ...

Lacanian
Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (, ; ; 13 April 1901 – 9 September 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Described as "the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud", Lacan gave yearly seminars in Paris, from 1953 to 1981, and published papers that were later collected in the book ''Écrits''. Transcriptions of his seminars, given between 1954 and 1976, were also published. His work made a significant impact on continental philosophy and cultural theory in areas such as post-structuralism, critical theory, feminist theory and film theory, as well as on the practice of psychoanalysis itself. Lacan took up and discussed the whole range of Freudian concepts, emphasizing the philosophical dimension of Freud's thought and applying concepts derived from structuralism in linguistics and anthropology to its development in his own work, which he would further augment by employing formulae from predicate logic and topology. Taking this new direction, and introducing contr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
