What do you think of this weird trend in Japan?

Asked by Earthgirl (11214points) October 22nd, 2011

I know the world is filled with all kinds of weird and crazy things. I believe the credo “to each his own” as long as it’s not hurting anybody.

Does this trend hurt anybody? What is the message being sent to girls/women and why are they buying it? Will people do anything just to make themselves look “more attracrtive”? Is it just a cultural preference that we should respect?

What do you think? How does this make you feel?
