Fenomena Lolicon!

Baru-baru ini netizen Indonesia diresahkan dengan salah satu kelakuan seorang otaku / weaboo yang mengakui dirinya adalah seorang Lolicon dan Pedophile. Nah, apakah itu lolicon? Apakah ada keterkaitannya dengan masalah kelainan disorientasi sex seperti pedofilia? Insider Animex akan membahasnya!

Sungguh kelewat batas, kali ini ada salah seorang otaku / weaboo dengan secara terbuka, dan sadar diri mengakui dirinya adalah seorang lolicon sekaligus pedofilia. Hal ini membuat gempar netizen Indonesia karena dianggap meresahkan, bahkan KPAI dan pihak Kepolisian sudah mengusut kasus tersebut karena dimanapun pedofilia ini sudah menjadi salah satu penyebap kejahatan seksual terhadap anak di bawah umur di Indonesia.

Walaupun begitu, banyak pihak yang mengatakan bahwa Lolicon itu tidak mesti sama dengan Pedofilia, dan banyak pihak penggemar Lolicon itu merasa tidak terima dengan Pedofilia. Mengapa? Simak ulasan berikut ini melalui kaca otaku:

Tentang Lolicon

Jika berbicara tentang Lolicon, pasti orang akan bertanya-tanya, apakah itu Lolicon? Lolicon merupakan singkatan dari Loli Complex, karena diserap dalam bahasa katakana Jepang, maka menjadi ロリコン (Dibaca: Roricon). Adalah ketertarikan / obsesi seseorang terhadap anak-anak dibawah umur, menjelang, atau sesudah pubertas, mereka biasa disebut Lolita (disingkat Loli). Obsesi yang dimaksud adalah, obsesi yang "tidak harus" berhubungan dengan seksualitas. Pelaku pedofilia "kebanyakan" Pria dan korban adalah anak perempuan / laki-laki di bawah umur.

Contoh karakter loli.
Hina Takanashi - Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai

Lolicon juga digunakan di dunia otaku Jepang (penggemar budaya pop Jepang) yang sering digunakan untuk mendefinisikan suatu genre atau penggemar yang memiliki obsesi yang sama persis seperti yang telah dijelaskan diatas. Hal ini mengacu pada ketertarikan akan karakter yang, atau berimage Loli yang akan kami jelaskan di bawah.

Loli

Seperti yang telah dijelaskan diatas, Lolita / Loli merupakan anak-anak yang dibawah umur, menjelang, atau sesudah purbetas, didalam dunia otaku Loli "hanya" berjenis kelamin wanita, sedangkan pria disebut Shota. Walau sejatinya di dalam dunia otaku Jepang banyak karakter yang hanya imagenya saja yang Loli. Karakter yang memiliki image Loli ini biasa disebut Legal Loli, atau Loli yang sudah memiliki umur dan sifat layaknya orang dewasa, namun struktur, bentuk serta karakteristik tubuhnya menyerupai seorang anak-anak yang belum tumbuh.

Kiri ke Kanan: Chino Kafuu (< 12 tahun), Chiyo Sakura (16 Tahun), Rory Mercury (961 Tahun)

Saat ini sebutan loli sendiri masih ambigu karena penggunaannya bisa diberbagai dunia hiburan, tempat dan fashion. Serta belum ada ketentuan pasti karakteristik yang tepat menggambarkan seorang loli, karena ini tergantung presepsi masing-masing yang memahami sebutan Loli tersebut.

Disorientasi Sex Lolicon sama dengan Pedofilia?

Seperti yang kita sebutkan, banyak karakter Loli di dunia otaku Jepang yang memliki umur yang sudah dewasa, yang bisa kita sebut adalah Legal Loli dan ada karakter Loli yang memang memiliki karakteristik dibawah umur. Namun apakah seorang Lolicon tidak memiliki ketertarikan seks terhadap karakter loli yang ia senangi? Jawabnya adalah Iya. Jadi Lolicon adalah Pedofilia? Jawabannya adalah tidak semua.

Jika anda bertanya mengapa jawabnya demikian, sederhananya anda perlu menelaah orang tersebut. Apakah dia memiliki ketertarikan terhadap dunia otaku atau tidak? Bagaimana dia menyukai loli? Apakah dia menyukai Legal loli (loli dewasa) ataupun Real Loli (loli dibawah umur)?

Anime Uchi no Maid Uzasugiru! (Maid dirumahku sungguh Menyebalkan!)
Menceritakan seorang loli berdarah Russia yang terganggu akan Maid (pembantu wanita) yang seorang lolicon dirumahnya.

Sebagai contoh banyak orang di dunia otaku yang mencintai karakter atau animasi loli. Namun dia tidak menyukai loli di dunia nyata, orang seperti ini tidak perlu anda takuti atau klaim sebagai Pedofilia, karena dia tidak akan melakukan aksi kriminal seks terhadap anak-anak di dunia nyata, karena dia sudah tenggelam didalam dunia 2D / Animasi.

Adalagi dia memiliki ketertarikan pada Loli dewasa, dimana jarang sekali ditemukan di dunia nyata. Orang seperti ini biasanya masih berfikir rasional untuk melakukan tidak kejahatan seks terhadap orang-orang disekitarnya.

Ada contoh lagi, orang yang menyukai loli di dunia animasi atau populer Jepang, tidak menyukai anak-anak kecil di dunia nyata. Karena anak-anak di dunia nyata tidak bisa disesuaikan seperti loli-loli di dunia animasi, maupun loli dewasa (legal loli). Bahkan ada Lolicon yang menganggap bahwa Loli didunia nyata itu menyebalkan dan menyusahkan.

Lolicon hanya menyukai karakter wanita, tidak dengan karakter pria. Sedangkan Pedofilia biasanya tidak mementingkan jenis kelamin.

Dalam kesimpulan kasus-kasus tersebut dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa seorang Lolicon belum tentu adalah seorang Pedofilia.

Kemanakah Pelampiasan Para Lolicon di dunia Budaya pop?

Jika anda bertanya demikian, maka anda perlu belajar kedunia populer Jepang, dimana banyak sekali hiburan seks yang mampu meredam amarah seorang Lolicon agar tak menjadi Pedofilia. Mulai dari Anime, Japan Adult Video (Jav), Animasi Hentai, Doujin, Hentai Doujin, dan Visual Novel. Dari dunia hiburan di budaya populer Jepang tersebut menyajikan genre seks Loli dan semuanya adalah legal.

Kesimpulan

Dari semua pembahasan diatas dapat disebut bahwa seorang Lolicon berbeda dengan Pedofilia, mulai dari pandangan, kepercayaan serta hiburan. Namun, seorang Lolicon dapat menjadi seorang Pedofilia apa bila dia kehilangan pandangan dan tidak berfikir rasional. Pedofilia biasanya pelakunya kebanyakan Pria, dan korban bisa saja anak laki-laki atau perempuan. Namun Lolicon, pelakunya bisa saja Pria maupun Wanita, namun korbannya tidak berasal dari dunia nyata, bisa saja karakter anak perempuan, atau wanita dewasa yang memiliki image anak-anak yang tentu saja legal karena mereka berumur lebih dari 18 tahun, bahkan ada yang umurnya ratusan. Dan tidak semua Lolicon adalah Pedofilia begitu juga sebaliknya, tidak semua Pedofilia adalah seorang Lolicon.

Demikian pembahasan Insider kami soal Fenomena Lolicon. Jika ada tambahan, kalian bisa tuliskan masukan kalian di kolom komentar yah.

How much exercise does it take to burn off Thanksgiving Foods?

To put this in perspective it is very easy to eat upwards of 4,500 calories if you really go crazy and pay no attention to portion size, how many portions you are eating, and what you are eating.      Given that the average person burns somewhere around 2,000 calories per day it means that you would have to fast for more than two days to get rid of this entire holiday binge!

On the other hand, let’s take a look at a more restrained (yet enjoyable) Thanksgiving Meal by looking at everything you would eat, how many calories each item contains, and how long it would take to burn off with specific exercises.

3 pigs in a blanket – 150 calories – 15 minutes – walking at a moderate speed for 15 – 20 minutes

1oz brie cheese – 95 calories – Ice skating continuously for 12 minutes

4oz Sweet Potato – 187 calories – 45 minutes of weight lifting

½ cup Green Bean Casserole – 227 calories – 18 minutes of jumping rope

1 glass of wine – 125 calories – 10 minutes of burpees

¼ cup cranberry sauce – 102 calories – 20 minutes of cycling outside

3.5 oz white meat turkey with skin – 177 calories – 20 minutes of touch football

½ cup gravy – 25 calories – 3 minutes of jumping jacks

½ cup stuffing – 195 calories – 25 minutes of swimming

1 cup mashed potatoes – 237 calories – 1 hour of canoeing

3 by 3 inch square cornbread – 198 calories – 25 minutes of stair climbing

Green Bean Casserole – 227 calories – 30 minutes of walking at a moderate pace

Pecan Pie Slive (1/8 of pie) = 500 calories – 1 hour of ice skating

How to Eat Healthy While Travelling Over the Holidays

‘Tis the season again – we are entering that infamous Thanksgiving through New Years stretch where the average American will gain 8 – 12lbs!    One of the main reasons for this is that we get out of our normal routines for both exercise and diet.     It is even more challenging if you are travelling during this season because you are out of your home and have less control over your exercise and eating habits.

However, where there is a will there is a way.      Here are some key tips to prevent weight gain during travel:

1.      Plan your meals and your exercise.    This is probably the most important tip because with a little planning you CAN eat healthy and get in your exercise.

2.     Start by looking at your travel schedule and planning your meals during travel.     We all know how lousy the food is on an airline so instead of being subjected to the lousy and unhealthy food bring your own.     In many airports today, there are plenty of healthy options that you can purchase and carry on the plane.     Great options include:

a.       Nuts – see below

b.       Ready to drink shakes like Muscle Milk (even starting to see this in an organic option in airports!).

c.       Nutrition bars – see below

d.       Hard boiled eggs

e.       Salads with chicken

3.      Even better buy non-perishable food before you leave home.      Excellent choices for meals and snacks that are easy to travel with include:

a.       Nuts – come in cans and pouches with smaller packages being ideal because while nuts are healthy they are high in fats and even healthy fats have lots of calories!    No honey glazed and if you need to be concerned about salt stick with unsalted, roasted nuts.    Best choices include pecans and walnuts and brazil nuts followed by almonds, then peanuts and cashews in terms of sugar content.

b.       Nutrition bars – there are a ton of healthier bar choices now, and they have actually figured out how to make a healthy bar that tastes pretty darned good without a ton of sugar that have high levels of fiber, healthy fats, and protein.      Several variety of Kind bars fit this bill including Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt; Caramel Almond and Sea Salt; and Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan.    These bars taste great and will satisfy you and travel well.

c.       Ready to mix shakes – there are many great options for shakes that are low in sugar and high in protein that taste great and come in packets that are easy to mix in a plastic shake bottle after you add water.   Gone are the days where these options must be blended in a blender.   Experiment a bit and you can find shakes that come in single serve packets that mix quite well in a plastic shaker bottle.

d.      If you are driving, consider bringing some pre-made meals in a cooler that are either ready to eat cold or can easily be microwave or baked when you arrive.     When you bring some of your own food and healthy desserts you know you will have good options!

4.      Focus on a great breakfast because you can get eggs in every town in America both at restaurants and in people’s homes.  Eggs are fantastic nutrition that really satisfies, and they can be prepared in many different ways.  Starting the day off with 2 – 3 whole eggs along with some sautéed vegetables, some cheese and some berries will keep your hunger at bay and provide a healthy meal that is easy to come by!

5.      Get your exercise in!    Plan before you leave – worst case you can use resistance bands and get a great workout in a very small physical space such as a hotel room.     You can also do highly effective body weight workouts while on the go and another fantastic choice for travel exercise is a suspension trainer like TRX or Core Flytes -  https://www.amazon.com/Core-Flyte-Pro-Performance-Rock-Solid/dp/B00K6MKM00 

      For resistance bands and workouts with them check out www.resistancebandtraining.comFor a great bodyweight workout try this one: https://workoutanytime.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-three-best-bodyweight-exercise.html

6.      Go for a walk and check out the neighborhood or go see some nearby sites.     Sitting on your butt all day while food is being prepared all around you is asking for trouble!   Get up and get out and active for part of the day or offer to do some shopping for the group or pitch in with some of the physical chores if you are staying at someone’s home.

      So while it is easy to gain weight during travel over the holidays – with a little planning you can come through with little to no weight gain or even lose a pounds or two over the holidays!

How to Adjust to the Fall Time Change

It’s that time of year again – time to fall back and set our clocks back one hour.      Resetting clocks in devices is simple.    Unfortunately, your body clock is not nearly as easy to reprogram.    This comes with some serious health consequences.  An hour time shift does not seem like a lot, but your body runs on a tight schedule and this one-hour change throws us off.

Scientists have documented that the shift to daylight saving time in the spring, when we lose an hour of sleep, is linked to an a much higher rate of attacks and car accidents.  Although we gain an hour to sleep in the fall – the change throws off the sleep cycle and that is where all the problems come from.

Over the last 20 years, scientists have documented that, in addition to the master clock in our brains, every cell in our body has a circadian rhythm and time-keeping mechanism. The body and cell’s circadian rhythm help regulate important functions such as sleep and metabolism. And increasingly, there's evidence that when our habits — such as when we eat and sleep — are out of sync with our internal clocks, it can harm us.

When we disrupt our routines with erratic sleep or eating habits, it can increase the risk of metabolic disease. For instance, overnight shift workers are at much higher risk of developing diabetes and obesity. Research also shows that kids who don't have set bedtimes and mealtimes are also more likely to become overweight.

As days get shorter with less daylight, it's easy to fall into bad habits, and light exposure is key to regulating circadian rhythm.     It is the primary signal to turn on the body’s metabolic processes for sleep and rest to active and alert.

How to prepare for the dark days

Go to bed an hour or so earlier and get up 8 hours later. Maximize your exposure to daylight in the morning hours, since it gets dark so early in the evening.

Minimize Nighttime light

Exposure to light and electromagnetic fields from computers, phones, tablets, and T.V.’s all act as a stimulant, so it is important to minimize nighttime light exposure and blue light exposure in particular.  Blue light comes from artificial lighting.   Blue wavelengths – which are beneficial during daylight hours because they boost attention, reaction times, and mood – are disruptive at night.   Energy efficient lighting is packed with blue light as our electronics.

So try to turn off lights and if you must use a computer get a blue light filtering program that will adjust the amount of blue light emitted by your computer, phone, and tablets such as flux – https://justgetflux.comand the Twilight app for your phone.   Both allow you to set times and adjust blue light output of your devices automatically based on time of day!  You can also buy blue blocking glasses to use in the evening.

How Much Exercise Does It Take to Burn Off Halloween Candy?

In the big picture of weight loss it is not what we do on the occasional holiday that really determines our weight it is the week in week out eating and drinking habits that determine our weight.   That being said if you are not careful you can eat/drink a ton of calories in one day which then turns into weeks of too many calories during the holidays starting with Halloween.

The key is to plan and know what you are eating!   Candy can be confusing because of all the different snack sizes that are so prevalent during Halloween.      It is very easy to assume because you are eating snack size candy that it is not that bad, and this is true if you are not eating too many pieces!    Before you eat candy see how many calories you are eating – it takes less than a minute to google calorie, sugar, and fat content for just about any common Halloween Candy.

Here are some examples:

Nestle’s Crunch Bar (60 calories)               6 minutes of brisk aerobic exercise to burn off!

Kit Kat Bar (70 calories)                             8 minutes of brisk aerobic exercise to burn off!

4 Snickers Mini Bar (170 calories)             18 minutes of high intensity exercise to burn off!

Full Size Twix Bar (80 calories)                 6 minutes of continuous kettlebell swings to burn off!

4.2 Oz Candy Corn (450 calories)              4 – 5 miles of walking to burn off!

2 Peanut Butter Cups (210 Calories)          2 miles of running to burn off!

So eating a little candy is no big deal, BUT if you are not watching how many pieces/containers you eat you can quickly rack up a ton of calories that would take more than an hour of vigorous exercise to burn off!

Plan your candy intake and know what you are going to eat and enjoy it!   The other key is have candy after a meal so you are not really hungry – candy and hunger make for a really bad combination!

Hancur Di Episode 2, Anime Ore ga Suki nano wa Imōto dakedo Imōto ja nai Dapat Respon Buruk

Nampaknya anime yang digadang-gadang karakternya waifu-able ini sepertinya mengalami penurunan popularitas semenjak meluncurnya episode 2.

Siapa yang menyangka, anime yang saya damba-dambakan ini dengan fitur imoutonya hancur lebur di Epsiode 2-nya. Berbagai ketidak-simetrisan bentuk wajah dan tubuh karakter yang tidak sesuai menjadikan momok mengerikan. Tentu saja, hal ini mengundang protes dari banyak pihak terutama para pembaca manganya karena ternyata jalan ceritanya pun tak sesuai. Sampai-sampai di situs MAL (My Anime List) ada vote tersendiri untuk episode 2 kali ini.

Keanehan ini bahkan disampaikan para penggemar melalui twitter yang bisa ditemukan dikala kamu melakukan pencarian dengan hashtag #いもいも (baca: imo-imo).

Walau begitu, banyak yang masih menantikan episode 3. Dimana para penggemar anime masih berharap episode selanjutnya akan lebih baik dan memaklumi untuk studio yang masih baru. Hal itu bisa dilihat dari beberapa review di situs Anikore.JP yang masih mengharapkan adanya perbaikan di episode selanjutnya.

Bahkan ada yang tidak mempedulikan kualitas gambarnya loh! Yang penting fan service-nya ditambahin.

Your Genes are NOT your Destiny!

We all see and experience the reality of  how genes from our parents produce specific characteristics such as eye color, hair color, height, weight, etc.     Based on this experience most of us conclude that our genes determine our destiny, but is that really true?    The short answer is an emphatic NO.      While there are genetically determine characteristics that not alterable and fixed from birth, gene expression is actually quite variable and changes based on your lifestyle.

The process of gene expression is what determines which genes are actually expressed by cells in your body.     The key to gene expression is epigenetics which consists of physiological mechanisms that silence or activate genes, and encompasses process which alter gene function without changing the sequence of nucleotide base pairs of our DNA.       There are many such physiological processes which are activated by changes in our environment caused by many factors including exercise, diet, medications, sunlight, smoking, meditation, etc.  

All of your lifestyle choices play into your risk of disease through epigenetics.   Nearly all cancers, respiratory illnesses, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease are controlled through epigenetic changes.     Simply put – genes load the gun but the environment (your lifestyle) pulls the trigger!

Most disease-causing gene expression is activated by epigenetic factors meaning you CAN control it!   In fact, the Centers for Disease Control states that genetics account for only 10% of diseases.

Transgenerational Inheritance of Epigenetic Change

Amazingly epigenetic changes that occur in one generation can be passed down to future generations.     For example, it is known that changes in fertility initially causes by chemical exposure caused epigenetic changes can be handed down to the next generation.     This is also true of traumatic experiences.   

Characteristics of a parent’s sensory environment that occur before conception can remodel the sensory nervous system and neuroanatomy in future conceived generations.    An example of this is the fact that descendants of holocaust survivors show abnormal stress hormone levels which put them at greater risk for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.

Lifestyle Choices Count for you AND the next Generations

Realize that the air we breathe, the food we eat, the thoughts we allow, the toxins to which we are exposed, and the experiences we undergo may be passed on to our descendants.  Our genes are not our destiny – the choices we make are!
