Strange Idol Trade in Japan (AKA Cursed Objects)

[Muttley]

I have found something of a strange trade for fetish idols in Japan.
Obviously this is tied to some Shinto bullshit about appeasing something evil to keep other evils away.
(You'll notice from the included video that they leave offerings to stop the evil, but still pretty fucking wild. I wouldn't tempt it.)

From what I can tell its mostly perpetuated on normal sites like ebay
But it seems to be a mix of like Japanese-made kitsch and actual idols from Africa (or wherever)
They even had like a convention for it?

If anyone knows more feel free to enlighten me.

(adverts for the convention)

But here's where it gets interesting... If you check out ebay or any online market place that serves private sellers and Japan... These things are everywhere? I pulled this off of ebay if I'm remembering correctly. What the Hell is going on in Japan?

I guess this is what the gyroids in Animal Crossing is based on. No wonder why they're so sexy.

I think these little fellers are your gyroids

There is nothing in weebshit that does not come from their deeply held religious beliefs.

And yes, that includes the porn. Lmao

But you said they were sexual objects

 

[Muttley]

Sir you are not supposed to be aroused by the Cursed Objects


Well maybe on reddit

 

[Vingle]

People are being aroused by niggers and trannies too, which is far more cursed

In that video, are they leaving snacks as offerings to the idols? I thought an idol would want something more sinister like a dead goat rather than candy.

Just me guessing, but I assume dead goats and little girls are to the idols in the middle east. In Japan, everything is kawaii sugoi and that stuff. They tried to make anime girls of shrines, but the committee behind that said no. Like how in Hetalia, each person is a country.
