Why do people think Yusuke Urameshi is a likable protagonist when he pretty much sexually assaulted a girl in the first episode? He lifted Keiko's panties in the first episode

>>280071689 (OP)
She likes him so it's ok.
Also dying to save someone gives you a lot of good boy points.

How was Yu Yu Hakusho able to get away with sexual assault? If you compare it to an anime like Shimajiro or Anpanman, neither of those have sexual assault in them

>>280071689 (OP)
Do you really think that doesn't make the average man like him even more?

>its not sexual assault if she is already romantic with you

he gropes a tranny and then beats its ass

We need to bring casual sexual assault back to anime in 2025

>>280071689 (OP)
Panty peeping is based.

it was a different time

>>280071689 (OP)
When you have a girlfriend you can do that kind of stuff.
>>280072247
Togashi is paying for this scene to this day.

Anon...you realize that they ended the anime with Keiko kissing Yusuke on the beach, right? They were lovers

>>280071689 (OP)
t. woman

>>280071689 (OP)
Yusuke is an uneducated thug who is barely raised by his mom because she's off doing picrel

>>280072247
I always liked this scene as an example of Togashi's writing, this feels like how a punk would react, minus the slurs he'd be throwing around

>>280072947
Is his mom partying with a tranny? Gonna need a culture expert to clarify.

>>280071689 (OP)
>Oh no, a protagonist who has an ounce of testosterone in his body and doesn't cry at a woman's touch. How problematic.

>>280073354
They could be more like drag queens. Yusuke's mom was implied to be a prostitute in the manga, so she hangs out with other outcast types.

>>280073705
What if Keiko was your daughter bro, you wouldn't want another kid doing that, you'd want to be the one

>>280071689 (OP)
He's just your bog standard showa era male mc.

Schizo spam thread, sage and ignore.

Yusuke is based arguably even better than gon

>>280071689 (OP)
he's a down-on-his-luck punk kid. his mom's a drunk, dad's out of the picture, and he's a truant that hates authority figures and they hate him for what he is. despite all of that he's a jerk with a heart of gold
also i think he calls koenma a retard baby at one point 10/10 protag

>>280072152
Grabbed by the balls and tossed like a lawn dart

>>280074080
What's a bog standard Reiwa era male MC? Deku?

>>280074009
Her parents liked Yusuke though.

>>280074009
>>280072947
I heard those okama bars in Japan have way more enjoyable people compared to what we have here.

Sexual assault is funny.

>>280074080
>He's just your bog standard showa era male mc.
Japan should RETVRN to Showa values.

>>280072094
What factually correct person are you quoting?

>>280076460
There's nothing sexual about that at all.

>>280077275
True, Araragi would never be into little girls

>sneaking a cheeky peek at pantsu is full-on sexual assault
Context, dumbass. Yusuke didn't just flip up some random girl's skirt on the subway like a chikan. It was Keiko. They are childhood friends and this is NOT the first time he's done some naughty shit that she scolded or hit him for. This is a back and forth dynamic that has existed since they were children. Keiko likes Yusuke and continues to spend time with him. She has a relationship close-enough to Yusuke that it's almost familial.
>inb4 yeah but it's not consensual/she said kyaa/etc.
Don't be dense. Keiko is never gonna be like, "play slapass with me, Yusuke!" but they have the class rep/good girl and delinquent/bad boy couple dynamic anyway. It is his JOB to bring that element to bear since she won't and you're insane to think it's rapey.
ALSO
>boyish
>tough
>jumps in front of a car to save some random kid
>literally heroic
>fun dynamic with his pal/rival
Fairly likeable.

>>280072152
Does that make him progressive or misogynistic?

>>280077807
they didn't think about such things back in the day

>>280077807
Neither. That scene is legitimately old-fashioned chauvinism for the benefit of the female sex.
>yusuke: "hey, are these balls? don't feel no titties, either"
>*BAM!*
>kuwabara: "yusuke what the FUCK did you just hit a woman"
>yusuke: "NOPE it was a tranny I checked"
>kuwabara: "no shit?"

>>280071689 (OP)
In the manga, he even said Keiko's pants had shit stains.

>>280075458
a milquetoast turbo virgin.

>>280078665
lol

>>280078007
>>kuwabara: "no shit?"
Is he not suprised?

>>280079032
No shit can be said when surprised too. Like, "wait, really?"

>>280076309
Keiko's dad was a fucking bro, for him it was never "if" but "when" they'll get married, basically hands Yusuke his shop.

>>280076411
Probably, Japs care more about being presentable and inoffensive.

>>280079032
he checked under the tranny's skirt to make sure the family jewels weren't stolen

>>280076411
>compared to what we have here.
America?

I mean it's shitty behavior, but not cancellable shit if you're in middle school.

>>280080006
people don’t like to use the word groomed

>>280077779
Sorry, but this logic doesn't worry in the 20s.

>>280071689 (OP)
There were two times I acted like Yusuke Uramishi. The first I was like 10 years old and grab the tits of my female friend from behind like that time yusuke possessed kuwabara. She got so fucking pissed that she even changed schools. Shame, because I liked her... The other time I was 16. There was this annoying girl always slapping my butt and saying mean things to me, so as revenge I stuck my fingers in her butthole like Yusuke did with Kuwabara. I thought she would be mad, but then she started saying how I was much better than her boyfriend (?) and that she would be with me if she weren't with him. Anyway, her boyfriend stalked the shit out of me for one month.
Come to think of it I wasnt a normal child lol.

>>280071975
The average man isn't a rapist

>>280080006
>30
>he didn't read/watch Level E
>he doesn't even understand the context of that scene in YYH

>>280071689 (OP)
Because he's not a pussy and he also died saving a kid when nobody in the entire goddamn universe, afterlife included, thought he had decency.

>>280080135
its just a gag bro
don't overthink it

>>280079922
What other country is as vocal and sometimes obnoxious? At least in Japan, you won't see them make a scene.
>>280079509
Yeah. I think one of my old teachers went those cross dressing bars in Japan at one point and had a surprisingly good time.

>>280071689 (OP)
Because in a high trust low crime society very very very mild sexual harassment is seen as less bad than rape, but in decaying societies they get blended together into all being the same worst crime ever, since they become so common, and they escalate into rape so often. The West had a similar attitude towards pinching women's bottoms in the 50s. It was considered bad, but not giga ultra mega evil. Both Japan and the West eventually paid more attention to women's discomfort, and so these sort of things began to blend together with worse sexual crimes.
In an older show, a character committing mild sexual harassment is a sign he's a goofball who's rough around the edges, not a sign he's morally indefensible.

>>280080314
>>he doesn't even understand the context of that scene in YYH
So Yusuke wasn't supposed to beat him up?

>>280071689 (OP)
Isn't that literally a delinquent?

>>280071689 (OP)

>>280080222
There was this annoying girl always slapping my butt and saying mean things to me, so as revenge I stuck my fingers in her butthole like Yusuke did with Kuwabara

Aren't you thinking of Naruto? Or did Kishimoto rip that off from Togashi as well?

>>280084602
Kancho is a japanese thing not from a particular manga or anime.

>>280080135
>Yusuke can't play harmless slapass with a childhood friend who is like half a step away from being his girlfriend and who realistically can't be that mad about it
>because it's the 2020's
It absolutely matters that there's a preexisting dynamic between Yusuke and Keiko. It's the difference between playfully slapping your girlfriend's ass without warning and doing the same thing to some random stranger. It's not even a generational thing, I'm saying that Yusuke and Keiko's relationship is already in motion when the story starts and has been for years.

>>280071689 (OP)
What if Yusuke had to babysit this loser for a week
Imagine all the pussy he'd be getting
