Here's a story you should try: the legend of Okinagatarashi, who would later become Empress Jinguu. She was pregnant when she set out on a military campaign to avenge her dead husband, and only gave birth 3 years later after winning...

This is sad & disgusting. These stories are how the disease of abuse is continued through generations and passed as “normal” by abusers. To everyone who is feeling shame, self hatred & embarrassment about the abuse you experienced, you’re not alone. Most people have experienced the same, hence the massive confusion & depravity in society’s views of sexuality.
Here's something that'll mess with your head though. These kind of things have been happening all through human history. Its super unlikely that theres this continual cabal of people who make up huge esoteric rituals just for the sake of being able to have sex with children. And until very recently, ti wasn't even considered morally objectionable. It was just a thing people did. So why did it keep happening? The only real explanation is that we accidentally keep setting society up this way. We don't evne try, it just kinda happens. So..why? Is it in our nature? or are we doing something wrong that no one's been able to figure out for hte last 300,000 years? If the latter is true, that means we're actually encouraging it now, and we don't even realize we're doing it.
As a child sexual abuse victim, this was really hard to sit through. Yeah you can get an element of power, but it's no comparison to the power the abuser has and honestly the idea of generations of boys bearing this until they in turn could become the oppressor is just plain devastating. 💔
True words! While I don’t share the experiences, I can empathize and feel for you and others who have. I hope you can overcome your history, and bring it to light so it has a lower chance of ever happening to others.
It's so funny. I saw people commenting how liberating the sexual relationship was in another video of these boys being violated. The fact that you have to tell people these day and age that sleeping with children is not liberating is just awful
It's stuff like this that makes me understand why Martin Luther (the founder of Protestantism) was utterly AGAINST celibacy in the priesthood, and why Protestant ministers are expected to get married. We get a few corrupt ones too, like Jim Baker, but at least HE cheated on his wife with a former Playboy bunny rather than abusing some poor little boy.
I agree they should get married, but even in the Protestant churches there is abuse of children and women. The church I left actually tried to protect the pedo and shamed he now ex-wife for outing him.
@@Moi_81 Sadly, child SA is just as common, among Protestant clergy, and church officials, as it is in the Roman Catholic Church. Although its not talked about as much, in media.. Maybe thats because the Catholic Church is one massive organized church, while the Protestant Denomination Churches, even the larger ones, are generally much smaller in comparison? I come from an area thats full of churches, the majority, Protestant. And there's plenty of atrocious things done to kids, and women. The biggest church sex scandal, that I recall, in my home town, was the preacher, who had a show that was broadcasting all the time, on a local access cable channel, who had forced himself on no less than 7 girls, aged 11-15. And I'd imagine that there were plenty more that didn't publicly come forward. That came out when I was in my mid--teens. A few years before I left the area. I imagine that there's more. Its just not the sort of thing that I ask about, when I call my relatives. And although ot was all over the news, for a while, it wasn't talked about much. Which is odd, in a way. Although, understandable, as its not the most pleasant topic of conversation!
Then again the priests were supposed to follow the ways of Jesus and his apostles. And yet they fukked up the temptations, making Luther justified in nailing the 95 thesis on a local church door (Mind you by Japanese standards the Reformation started during the ongoing J drama that was the Sengoku Jidai, the hosokawa succession arc [I looked up Wikipedia])
So basically the casting couch for medieval Japan. I guess, at the end of the day, European or Asian, the moral of the story is not to trust unmarried, celibate holy men around your kids. I can probably guess what the connotation of prayer beads would be. Think Flower of Dharma Nature.
@@kenshin891 Well, these monks would not be the first men to call out a god's name when spilling their "beads," so I think your explanation makes more sense.
Not weird at all. Human beings are very sexually driven, and often like to exercise and abuse power over others. Put those two together and there you go. Those tendencies are universal to the human brain, regardless of culture.
There can’t be even a hint of choice and consent when you’re that young, plus even if they were so to speak, “legal adults”, consent still wouldn’t come into play, as they didn’t make the decision to there and the monks won’t let them go. You can see how seeds of this abuse have shaped society as it is now.
Even if some boy knew what is going on is wrong , saying no wasn't an option . How sad that is , to be assaulted and accepting that as a thing that should be done
They had earlier to be adult because people lived average short lives. Anyways the is it child abuse shouldnt be even the denbate, because its already predatory have authoriti take adventage of inexperiened people they have power over. I woulsn fuss if they were too young, they It was people that had power over them and that makes it in any case predatory and abusive.
After watching Linfamy's most recent videos I've reached a conclusion and a simple logic that applies to Catholic priests and medieval Japan *Don't let old/older men catch you being a young boy or you will get constant visitors to your backdoor willing and UNWILLING*
Not really. It's just kind of ordinary things people did back then. Everything from flirting to insulting your political opponents were done through poetry and flashy shinny stuff like that.
I want to say that the... I can’t spell it , the sex worker ladies who dressed like guys , had a drummer , were performing original songs , while the ones in boats were doing covers . Thus : the pay - status disparity .
I searched it in google and what the hell??? Those were literal kids they barely looked above 7 years old, the thing you said about Chigo commiting suicide seems more believable after seeing that because they were being manipulated since they were literal childrens so it obviously affected them in adult hood.
You give your children to be raised by other people and then you wonder why your children resent you and want nothing to do with you in your old age. I don’t know maybe it’s because you neglecting them abandon them forcing them to create their own families
male/male power/age difference relationships are seeming not too unusual in the past, greeks, romans, japanese...wouldn't be surprised if there were more if i took time to study histories :D i'd say i'm glad the modern world seems to be moving toward relationships between equals (at least...we like to think so) but then of course i'd think that because i grew up in modern times :-)
We're moving towards relationships between equals in all aspects. Age/power imbalances in socially accepted m/m relationships likely apear in so many cultures because of how patriarchy prevented them from thinking of any sex as between equals. Someone had to play the "lesser" role, and if a woman wasn't involved, whoever was lower on the totem poll in another way
There are still things like the en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi So incredibly vile and disgusting that child abuse and power abuse seems so damn common throughout all of history.
@@notme8652 especially catholic priests (even though this is surely spread around all religions, celibacy just makes it more desirable ig) seem to enjoy spreading the fire of ignorance to some unlucky acolytes.
I was going to tell some of my friends “hey I’ve been learning about Japanese historic culture for the past few days” Then it hit me I didn’t want to tell them that I spent over an hour learning about socially acceptable pedophilia, lest they judge me harshly”
I love linfamys work and videos because he clearly loves japanese culture yet also doesnt shy away from culturally and socially challenging topics to show that not all things about cultures of the past should be glorified and sanctified. Things were hard and bad things happened to people just like they do. It's a much more honest and believable look at history. Plus hes hilarious and cool so that doesnt hurt.
Saichō and Kūkai, the most influential monks in Heian period, fought over a chigo. Saichō sent his favorite disciple to Kūkai and he never came back. basically he got NTR'd.
@@courtneymichelle4498 Around 700 AD? The dates around the time of Saicho and Kukai are referenced in the gosho, although I've never paid much attention.
Monk: “Tome to receive my karmic rewards.” *dies* Hell Guards: “Welcome to Nakaru!” Monk: “Why am I here?” Hell Guard: “You molested chigos and teahouse boys.” Monk: “...” Hell Guard: “Look on the bright side: I just got a new Fiery Spear!”
Ah yes, child molestation. The somehow time-honored tradition and vice of the hypocritical religious everywhere. My favorite! And yes that sounds wrong! Because many could have probably wished to go without knowing that it was common for what were basically the IRL counterparts of Jedi padawans to be diddled on the daily, but Linfamy is here to provide his audience with horrible, horrible knowledge. Or for those of us who know, remind us of it and make us scream internally after being reminded once again how horrible humanity can be.
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 @SHANEDOESTH-cam Well, chronologically Medieval Japan is the closest to us, and that's probably the reason why Japan today can be a cesspool of pro-pedophilia and abuse in general and at the same time breeding grounds for people so fed with this that they attack everything sexually related, no matter if it's about fully fledged adults having consensual sex. Extreme western influence during recent strife times also contributed for an even more confuse influx of morals (or lack thereof). It's like colonized countries that went to be considered "third world", but Japan managed to - at least economically - put its shit together. Not gonna discuss in depth the reasons why, but the main ones are probably because truly colonizing it would be a pain and they had a viable industrial machine going on, which could be readily put to work. Key word is: ECONOMICALLY. But don't take my word for it, ask the japanese. No one that isn't at least receiving minor advantages about how modern Japan works will say it is a nice society, no matter if the person being asked is suffering with it or just personally indifferent.
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 He probably said that cause this vid was about Japan. Just because he said one thing, he's obligated to say it about every other thing? Weird
I mean in someways it’s significantly worse, it’s like if instead of the church obscuring the problems and shipping problematic priests off to different diocese, they actively endorsed and encouraged the grooming and abuse. Mind you that doesn’t make the hierarchy’s lack of substantive action on this matter until recently any less unconscionable.
Religious power is often used by men who want to do whatever they want to get what they want and abuse that power. That is why this story is common around the world... One thing is certain, a child can NEVER consent no matter the time period.
I love how you just 100% blur most of the images. Good call on that. Your explanations were more than sufficient to understand what the paintings were about.
History in a nutshell: Person doing something terrible. "But I had good thoughts and good intentions in my head. I'm still a good person, even after doing this."
I suspect there was probably also Lesbian relations going on between Priestesses and Mikos, we just didn't hear about as much because History is usually written by the men. Just like all that Man0Boy Love you hear about from Greece.
I'm pretty sure you are wrong on the "History is usually written by the men" . Japanese women wrote a lot. The first novel was written by an Japanese women. Also we are talking about monks and nuns. If the Japanese Buddhism is anything like Theravada Buddhism , Nuns and monks are basically the same disregarding some superficial details.
So let me get this straight, if a monk murders someone in cold blood, but knows that that's bad and you shouldn't do that, then he didn't(?) murder someone in cold blood?
You can always expect holy men to find ways to justify their own actions. So yes, a Buddhist monk murdering someone is only wrong as long as he wants it to be.
The mental gymnastics that these monks went through just to see some action is astounding. all 10s across the board. Never seen such a high level stunt.
I can't believe there is a video dedicated to explaining Chigo sex life. This is something we all know about it in the industry but no one will talk about it in public. I want to point out the mythical side of Chigo. The main purpose of Chigo is never about sex, sex is only a bonus point for their master. According to folklore, Chigo was hand-picked by monks because of their psychic ability. Chigo can see ghosts and spirits, some of them can even read people minds by physical touch. Because Chigo can easily get possessed by gods or unfriendly ghosts, it will be better for them to live under the protection of the temple and mook will use them as a tool or a host for gods to perform rituals. During the ritual, Chigo will briefly become the manifesto of a god or a powerful spirit to perform specific rituals, exorcism and fortune-telling are among the most common ones. Back in the old days, the elder in the temple will sexually exploit young Chigo which was explained in the video. Chigo still exists in modern society but they run their own business now. They are usually adults and worked as a performer in local tourism show or an assistant to other psychics. Of course, they don't have sex with their masters anymore. 15:45 To answer your question. When Chigo was possessed, he will lose control of his body, also need to notice if Chigo was constantly possessed by Gods, his life span may significantly reduce, at least that is what I heard.
@@1lobster I wasn't just talking about kids marrying kids; quite often, it is adults marrying kids. And no, kids marrying kids isn't fine either. A kid has no real world experience, has never lived on its own and hasn't developed enough of a sense of itself to know what it does and doesn't want in a relationship, which means that it has no business entering into what should be a lifetime commitment. Not to mention that the whole child marriage thing by the very nature of marriage sexualizes children, which is an entirely other fucked up kettle of fish.
Monks of many religions and other power structures did these things. This is what happens when power structures are shaped and altered in ways that easily lets corruption and abuse run rampant.
@@Call-me-Al I know that this things happens. I'm just expressing my sadness, but I think I didn't catch the part when you say it happens the way theses structures of power are shaped. Can you elaborate it more?
@@blaeckingceorl4161 I cannot speak for this person but in a general sense, power structures in religion(s) tend to command absolute and total obedience, to the point that critical thinking, consent, and basic human status is reduced to nothing. A lot of ppl who are under those in charge are treated no different than those in captive as slaves/trafficked. Especially in the sense of a s*x slave. They do a lot mental gymnastics (its ok because its for *insert religious belief here*). As opposed to if it were a "normal" or non religious setting, it would have been considered immoral/criminal.
Idk man, how can anyone say "idk if they were being forced..." when they were literally children. They did not know better, they just followed rules, a child can't consent. A different thing is when an older wakashu was purposedly in a relationship with a man. But then again, they've only know one lifestyle for their whole life, so... Sounds like rape and grooming with extra steps.
It's ALL abuse!!! Grooming at its nastiest, ugh, it's been going on forever EVERYWHERE, gross!!! Edit: it honestly just makes me so very sad, so very exhausted...
Sorry guys, but strong monks of medieval Japan were almost bastards. Even famous Yoshitune was also a Chigo in his childhood. When I first read that he had gone through these p-p things, it was so disgusting for me.
These are CHILDREN we're talking about, children told by their families to listen to rhe priest. 'Abuse must have happened sometimes' it was abuse every time. They just didn't call it/consider it abuse at that time. Reality of the situation is that children were forced into this, by their family and the priest, and if they were 'convinced' instead of physically forced? That's still abuse. We aren't talking about a 20yr old with a 40 year old, this is talking about a 10year old with an adult. Why would a family send their kid to do this? It was mostly wealthy families, so my guess is they got paid or they got out of sins free, either way they were selling their kids into sex slavery and its disgusting. People putting material things ahead of other human beings is the root of most of the evil and suffering on this planet.
@Alice! Curiosity often leads to trouble!! remember that the children main goals were to participate in many ceremonies from dances to parades and many other things and their second goal were to serve their monk it as written was they were not suppose to serve for sexual stuff due to monks suppose to be celibate...
Jodo Shinshu (New Pureland) in particular believed that the mortal world was corrupt so you might as well party on while you were alive. Possibly the Zen temples (Soto and Rinzai) might have not had as much (definitely rich families sent those temples excess sons) though I am not sure. Zen temples (unlike most of the other sects) were not known for having armies/warrior monks under their control.
@@ironpulcinella3586 Yes, it was hedonism, with a religious overtone... Personally, I prefer my hedonism divorced from any religious principles. Remember though that in the sengoku period the Jodo Shinshu Monto survived a 10 yr siege by Nobunaga...
I was a practicing Japanese Buddhist, in America, for 25 years. Having no idea of any of this, I shudder to think of the practices I may have aligned myself with as I eagerly proselytized!!
The way those stories are written has such a creepy element of fetishism and propoganda. Like the chigo is just SO obsessed with them, really wants them and wants this and dreams about them--reads like an inner fantasy, not reality. Like who are you all trying to convince with these stories!? 😒
As morally messed up as today's society is, history shows us that we've actually come a long ways from where we once were. I just hope that progress can continue.
It's kind of concerning everyone here seems to make jokes of young boys being raped and taken advantage of. I swear the whole tone of this video and comment section would be different had the victims been young girls instead.
I think you misunderstand, thats only because its already a fairly gross thing actual church oficials do, and of course, girls too, but its becam a dark humor joke with church oficials and boys. Because its that gross. The dark humor there ibecause it is that gross. And that is just same old meme i guess that the same time gross, but still happens too often.
I don’t think those dark jokes (or at least the ones I have seen) make light of the abuse those kids suffered, but help process what is a pretty horrific topic. As the jokes I have seen make fun of the abusers, the monks, instead of punching down on the Chigo.
Someone may have commented something similar already but ... This also happened with Greek and Roman men (and possibly women, I dunno) taking on apprentices. Fascinating (in a really horrific way) how this kind of mentality was just "okay" to treat children this way ... I'm getting Hollyweird vibes too.
Thank you very much for educating us on something that I never knew before about the Buddhist monks in Japan. This is a similar thing Afghanistan I remember hearing about with older men dressing younger boys as girls. The rampant sexual abuse is honestly so fucking horrifying and disgusting and it’s such a shame that this is the norm across many cultures. Very horrible and very sad.
“We have no evidence of abuse” Except for the facts that these boys were *children* with *adults* and they had a horrific power-dynamic that essentially made it impossible for them to say ‘no.’

The biggest church sex scandal, that I recall, in my home town, was the preacher, who had a show that was broadcasting all the time, on a local access cable channel, who had forced himself on no less than 7 girls, aged 11-15. And I'd imagine that there were plenty more that didn't publicly come forward. That came out when I was in my mid--teens. A few years before I left the area. I imagine that there's more. Its just not the sort of thing that I ask about, when I call my relatives. And although ot was all over the news, for a while, it wasn't talked about much. Which is odd, in a way. Although, understandable, as its not the most pleasant topic of conversation!
Then again the priests were supposed to follow the ways of Jesus and his apostles. And yet they fukked up the temptations, making Luther justified in nailing the 95 thesis on a local church door
(Mind you by Japanese standards the Reformation started during the ongoing J drama that was the Sengoku Jidai, the hosokawa succession arc [I looked up Wikipedia])

There can’t be even a hint of choice and consent when you’re that young, plus even if they were so to speak, “legal adults”, consent still wouldn’t come into play, as they didn’t make the decision to there and the monks won’t let them go. You can see how seeds of this abuse have shaped society as it is now.

Well said.
Yeah 😥
Even if some boy knew what is going on is wrong , saying no wasn't an option . How sad that is , to be assaulted and accepting that as a thing that should be done
They had earlier to be adult because people lived average short lives.
Anyways the is it child abuse shouldnt be even the denbate, because its already predatory have authoriti take adventage of inexperiened people they have power over. I woulsn fuss if they were too young, they It was people that had power over them and that makes it in any case predatory and abusive.
Even with the disturbing content I laughed the whole video with the monk's "mental gymnastics" at the beginning lol

We're moving towards relationships between equals in all aspects. Age/power imbalances in socially accepted m/m relationships likely apear in so many cultures because of how patriarchy prevented them from thinking of any sex as between equals. Someone had to play the "lesser" role, and if a woman wasn't involved, whoever was lower on the totem poll in another way

@@shanedoesyoutube8001 @SHANEDOESTH-cam Well, chronologically Medieval Japan is the closest to us, and that's probably the reason why Japan today can be a cesspool of pro-pedophilia and abuse in general and at the same time breeding grounds for people so fed with this that they attack everything sexually related, no matter if it's about fully fledged adults having consensual sex.
Extreme western influence during recent strife times also contributed for an even more confuse influx of morals (or lack thereof). It's like colonized countries that went to be considered "third world", but Japan managed to - at least economically - put its shit together. Not gonna discuss in depth the reasons why, but the main ones are probably because truly colonizing it would be a pain and they had a viable industrial machine going on, which could be readily put to work.
Key word is: ECONOMICALLY.
But don't take my word for it, ask the japanese. No one that isn't at least receiving minor advantages about how modern Japan works will say it is a nice society, no matter if the person being asked is suffering with it or just personally indifferent.

Visplight Yup, there are aspects of pederasty in other major religions as well.
I mean in someways it’s significantly worse, it’s like if instead of the church obscuring the problems and shipping problematic priests off to different diocese, they actively endorsed and encouraged the grooming and abuse.
Mind you that doesn’t make the hierarchy’s lack of substantive action on this matter until recently any less unconscionable.

I can't believe there is a video dedicated to explaining Chigo sex life. This is something we all know about it in the industry but no one will talk about it in public. I want to point out the mythical side of Chigo. The main purpose of Chigo is never about sex, sex is only a bonus point for their master. According to folklore, Chigo was hand-picked by monks because of their psychic ability. Chigo can see ghosts and spirits, some of them can even read people minds by physical touch. Because Chigo can easily get possessed by gods or unfriendly ghosts, it will be better for them to live under the protection of the temple and mook will use them as a tool or a host for gods to perform rituals. During the ritual, Chigo will briefly become the manifesto of a god or a powerful spirit to perform specific rituals, exorcism and fortune-telling are among the most common ones. Back in the old days, the elder in the temple will sexually exploit young Chigo which was explained in the video. Chigo still exists in modern society but they run their own business now. They are usually adults and worked as a performer in local tourism show or an assistant to other psychics. Of course, they don't have sex with their masters anymore. 15:45 To answer your question. When Chigo was possessed, he will lose control of his body, also need to notice if Chigo was constantly possessed by Gods, his life span may significantly reduce, at least that is what I heard.
I worry that "psychic ability" might have been an old fashioned excuse when someone caught the monk's eye.

A kid has no real world experience, has never lived on its own and hasn't developed enough of a sense of itself to know what it does and doesn't want in a relationship, which means that it has no business entering into what should be a lifetime commitment.
Not to mention that the whole child marriage thing by the very nature of marriage sexualizes children, which is an entirely other fucked up kettle of fish.
Thanks as always Linfamy! Your deep dives into the sex lives of Japan’s pre-modern elite are always a trip!

They do a lot mental gymnastics (its ok because its for *insert religious belief here*). As opposed to if it were a "normal" or non religious setting, it would have been considered immoral/criminal.
Idk man, how can anyone say "idk if they were being forced..." when they were literally children. They did not know better, they just followed rules, a child can't consent. A different thing is when an older wakashu was purposedly in a relationship with a man. But then again, they've only know one lifestyle for their whole life, so... Sounds like rape and grooming with extra steps.

These are CHILDREN we're talking about, children told by their families to listen to rhe priest. 'Abuse must have happened sometimes' it was abuse every time. They just didn't call it/consider it abuse at that time.
Reality of the situation is that children were forced into this, by their family and the priest, and if they were 'convinced' instead of physically forced? That's still abuse.
We aren't talking about a 20yr old with a 40 year old, this is talking about a 10year old with an adult.
Why would a family send their kid to do this? It was mostly wealthy families, so my guess is they got paid or they got out of sins free, either way they were selling their kids into sex slavery and its disgusting.
People putting material things ahead of other human beings is the root of most of the evil and suffering on this planet.
