Why isn't Ash a married man now? (Another anime mini-rant)

I was watching Did You Know Anime, a spin-off of the popular Youtube series about gaming called Did You Know? and got some interesting info.

One of the creators of the Pokemon anime says that Ash rotates girls like a giggolo because, according to him...


Yep, one of the WRITERS said honestly that Ash's female leads are nothing buy eye candy. Yep, go ahead and cry sexist, folks, but that's what the Japanese think of women. This is because Japan's culture is far different from ours. They're only now getting a feminist movement when the usual lifespan of a Japanese girl was grow up, get educated in home economics, get married, have babies, and grow old and die while the husband works his butt of to support the family.

Another writer of the anime said in a novelization of the first season this interesting tidbit...


You thought 16 was pushing the legal limit for having a wife and babies? Well, in Japan, once you get into puberty, kiss your lifestyle of childhood bliss goodbye! You're now a man/woman and thus treated like one with all the consequences and benefits, INCLUDING MARRIAGE!

So yeah, that episode where Clemont, who is Ash's age, almost gets married isn't a joke - it represents what happens to 10-year olds, they are now able to get engaged and married! The modders of The Sims that created mods for school children to get married and  have WooHoo probably were Japanese.

Okay, I know I am being offensive to the Japanese people by saying all of that, but let's face it... when an anime writer states stuff like that, it's probably fact. After all, he has lived in Japan all his life and you have not, so stop griping.

I'm just saying that if Serena wanted to, she could pop the question to Ash right now and he could accept and marry her, even though they are pre-teens, because they are in a Japanese anime. Of course, because they are catering to us, the prudes who are old-fashioned and think kids are kids until the age of 18, they don't do that, but please... to all the Amourshippers, the writers said that Ash is not going to marry, he's going to string girls along until he and his story are finished, when the Hells Freeze Over, because the writers think that Ash is a lusty boy who needs to have a different girl on his arm every time he travels to a new region, and he's old enough to romance girls, according to them. So stop whining about Serena's removal from the anime. She was just another piece of eye candy, like Iris, Dawn, May and Misty. *sigh*

And for those who did not believe me, I've linked Did You Know Anime's Youtube page, you can just check it out yourself.
