[edit] Merge?
Hmm...
EroGuro and Ero-guro pretty much refer to same thing.
The article for the EroGuro seems to be more general ("an artistic, cultural and music sub-genre" ... "expanded its proverbial tendrils into parts of Japanese theatre, art, manga, and eventually film" etc), though it's under the category Japanese styles of music. Ero-guro seems to focus only on the visual aspect in art and manga.
How about merging the two articles under the category Japanese art? Ketsumaru 08:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
agree, merge them together, but with or without the hyphen? Chris 23:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
My vote's on without the hyphen - expanded, the phrase would be "erotic grotesque", not "erotic-grotesque". Tzaquiel 23:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
You have to be really fucked in the head to like this snuff anime.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Honey blade (talk • contribs) .
If you don't like it, no one's forcing you to look at it, or even this page. If you don't have anything helpful to add, then please don't post. MassiveDamage 04:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Erotic Grotesque Nonsense
You'll probably find more referenses under "Erotic Grotesque Nonsense" originally a film/literary movement.
There is probably little on the current Visual Kei movement in verifiable publication outside of Japanese sources.
I think the article needs to clearly distingish between the original literay movements, (20s-30's japan) and EroGuro in Manga, and EroGuro in music (1990s). This is probably lacking because the articles were merged. Inugami Circus-Dan is definately Angura Kei, so I removed them and added a bit about it. The original movements are pretty clearly separate, but they get blurred when applied to modern music movements (because they both happened in music around the same time). I also removed Alice Nine, if someone wants to explain whats erotic and grotesque about them here, give it a shot.
It would be nice to see more information on the original movement from pre WWII Japan as well Denaar 17:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shock site material?
Would sites with EroGuro galleries be considered shock sites?
-If they're sites that are related to the subject of EroGuro, then no. The content may be shocking to some, but the sites are legit since they're relevant to the article.
[edit] In war atrocities
Is that section an outright joke or just poorly phrased?70.53.99.121 23:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project Assessment
I realize it can be difficult to describe an artistic/musical style or movement without concrete examples, but I really don't think this article conveys any sense of what EroGuro is really like. I had never heard of visual kei before, but upon looking it up, and discovering the description and examples of Mana, Malice Mizer, etc, I understand pretty well what visual kei refers to now. The article just needs some work is all. LordAmeth 00:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Guro Lolita
There appears to be a recently-emergent subset of Elegant Gothic Lolita known as "Guro Lolita" which seems to entail dressing in basic Lolita fashion, "gored up" with the addition of fake blood, bloodstained eyepatches, bandages etc. - basically looking like a mutilated doll or "Zombie Lolita". There isn't a seperate Guro Lolita entry, and currently there is only a very brief one-line mention of it in the main Lolita fashion entry. My own experienceof gurololi is soley through contact in the BJD world, so I don't really feel confident to add to the main article at present. Arkady Rose 06:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This needs an illustration
I feel that this page needs a picture or something-DESU 11:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the image for now, since an explicit display of gore is probably not appropriate for a general purpose encyclopedia. Certainly someone can provide an image that only qualifies as unusual or weird, as opposed to downright disturbing. - Cyrus XIII 22:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I'll see what I can do. MassiveDamage 04:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Addition to above; I've uploaded IwaAndIzaemonCover.jpg, if you think it passes muster feel free to add it, as I'm not sure how to add a thumbnail image to an article. I felt it was a good preview of what can be found in guro without being overly gross. MassiveDamage 04:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Minor Edits go here
Yeah, because everybody knows anything with offensive content is automatically a social critique. *rolleyes* —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.108.26.204 (talk) 01:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Idiots
"It is also more to satisfy the frontal lobe, where the pleasure hormones are more likely to react to Guro."
Someone will probably put this back in, but I just wanna say that whoever wrote this is a dumbass. "WE HAVE ISOLATED THE GURO HORMONE, AND IT IS IN THE FRONTAL LOBE!!!"
[edit] Baby fuck baby fuck it's awwwwight!!!
Encyclopedia dramatica has an article on this.
