ever since this came to light, the one thing that's been on my mind is
a scene in the RuroKen manga of the Kyoto arc. sixteen year old Misao covers herself in a cloak and poses as some sort of forest prostitute in order to lure a group of grown men into a false sense of security so she can rob them. but when she throws off her cloak in preparation to attack, all the men are visibly disappointed. as soon as they can see that she's a teenage girl and not a grown woman, they decide that she's not worth their time and begin to sulk away en masse, remarking that a little kid like her should just go hoe to her mother. (she then has to beat them up to get their money and supplies)
but i always found that scene so refreshing. men who, upon seeing that a woman is an underage teenage girl, become entirely disinterested in her sexually and decide to leave without incident. i always thought that this scene was indicative of Watsuki's own views, but I guess that isn't the case. i always used to recall that scene as an example of some modicum of decency, but i guess real life, once again, couldn't meet fiction's standards.
so disappointed
