Explain how Japanese video games influenced Japanese culture

/in /by

Paper about how Japanese video games influenced Japanese culture and media and vice versa. Focus on Japanese role playing games, but other video games ok. Topics of Japanese video game influence examples: food, otaku culture, anime, etc.

Illustrations and tables ok, however they do not count towards page count.

Please include your bibliography, as well. You should consult at least 3-4 items that are either book chapters or journal articles (which needless to say can be limited to those accessible online; our class readings can count toward this total, too). You’re welcome to use non-academic sources–fanzines, fan websites, etc., but you should not rely exclusively on them for your project.

Write an essay exploring post-pornography, pornography after the internet, posthuman concepts and the development of parasocial relationships as a result of platforms

/in /by

Please write an essay exploring post-pornography, pornography after the internet, posthuman concepts and the development of parasocial relationships as a result of platforms like OnlyFans, which you should use as the main case study.
“OnlyFans has been successful in empowering some of their more popular creators by making sex work profitable for them, in an industry already being destabilised by the internet. Although still deeply stigmatised, digital sex work in the time of a pandemic has undeniably changed the way content is both created and consumed.
As much as most people think OnlyFans is simply a paid porn site, it’s more than that. In some cases, it’s perpetuating the idea of parasocial relationships: which is simply a one-sided relationship, giving someone an illusion of intimacy. The relationships formed between creator and consumer is about more than just sex, it’s about loneliness and wanting to create deeper personal relationships and having a desire for that experience. This is indicative of what people are lacking – it’s an affection deprivation.” (this is my proposal for the essay, feel free to use this in the essay, and as a guide for what to expand on)
