Today comic book stores around the world celebrate "Free Comic Book Day", offering anyone who pays them a visit some free comic books. This year there's 50 different titles to choose from, including a reprint of Neil Gaiman's "Lady Justice" (not seen in print in nearly 25 years) and a new Fight Club story by Chuck Palahniuk. The Marvel and D.C. universes are represented, as well as Doctor Who, The Simpsons, Jim Henson's Labyrinth, and even something called Steampunk Goldilocks. Saturday many bookstores will also be recognizing "Independent Bookstores Day" with special events, though ironically, some fans may be tempted to visit Amazon.com instead to download some free Kindle editions of last year's free comic books.

    Frankly, I don't give a fuck about comics of any sort. I've never been part of that crowd. But I do know a few people who are into comics. One fellow in particular is really into Japanese comics. He showed me and some other friends these comics once. We couldn't believe how goddamn fucked up they were. They were full of octopi engaging in the repeated sexual molestation of human beings. The drawing style was absolute shit. You have to know Japanese to read the text. The coloring was really bad. The generation storyline involved an octopus monster thing that raped one person after another. Every page we turned had yet another scenario involving it molesting someone, or even something, with its tentacles. Although we didn't say anything at the time, the rest of us started to think that the guy who liked these comics was some sort of a deviant. I don't know if they're still friends with him, but I've avoided him as much as I can since then.

    I can't believe it's not copypasta... because that's fucking stupid.

      Sounds like every Japanese comic or cartoon I've ever had the displeasure of seeing.

        It's sad to see that the downvoting here is getting almost as bad as it is at reddit. Comics from Japan are well known for their rather unique content. Pointing this fact out shouldn't result in punishment here.

      Have you really never heard about hentai [wikipedia.org]? What was described in that earlier comment is a core component of Japanese culture, for hundreds of years [wikipedia.org].

    "Japanese comics" are a medium. There are way more normal comics than octoporn.

    "Know Japanese to read the text"

    Yeah sure. No translations anywhere. [bato.to]

    "They were full of octopi engaging in the repeated sexual molestation of human beings. The drawing style was absolute shit. You have to know Japanese to read the text. The coloring was really bad."

    Sure thing, Leonardo. Your "friend" showed off his badly drawn and colored porno to you.

    "The generation storyline involved an octopus monster thing that raped one person after another. Every page we turned had yet another scenario involving it molesting someone, or even something, with its tentacles."

    Have tentacles, will rape.

    "some sort of a deviant"

    Sure you aren't the deviant? You are trolling and/or lying.

      What in the hell? The person taking a stand against tentacle rape is the "deviant", and those supporting it are thus "normal"? What in the hell?!

        Don't stand up, sit down. You can be the Rosa Parks of fighting off degenerate Japanese tentacle hentai.

        Your story was fake and gay. You don't know shit about animus and mangoes, and I believe tentacle rape isn't wrong (and Hitler is seriously underrated). Obviously the export of tentacle rape isn't for you. Maybe a real life trial of tentacles slip'n'sliding into your asshole would change your tune. If being a "deviant" is normal, what's a "deviant" now? A sad bored troll cuck, that's what.

              We're talking about comics, and you start advocating for tentacle rape. Whatever conversation you're having is clearly very different from the conversation the rest of us are having.

                Let's continue the conversation

                Why did your "friend" show off his porn collection?
                What specifically was wrong with the drawing style? Was it not realistic enough for you?
                What's wrong with tentacle rape?
                Why would the Japanese text matter? You could tell what was going on.
                What percent of Japanese comics sold do you think are hentai?

    They're not octopus dumb ass, they are tentacle monsters.
