Idid not say that. I said the biblicalmarriagewasaffirmed and thenRomans 1didtalk negatively about theaction of homosexuality.
私はそうは言っていません。聖書的な結婚が肯定されたと言ったのです。そしてローマ人への手紙1章が同性愛という行為について否定的に語っていると。
But ultimately that affirmation comes from the lines in there that suggest thatman shall not sleep withman.
しかし、最終的にその肯定は、「男は男と寝てはならない」と示唆する聖句から来ているのではありませんか。
Yes, of course.Yes. So the Old Testament and New Testament harmonizeoneanother, but Christ broughtit to a differentlevel, a different covenant,and a different moral teaching.Itwasn't just enough to say thatyou shall,you know, "an eye for an eye." He said thatyou shall turn the other cheek, thatyou shallloveyour enemy. Christ's moral standardwas muchmore even elevated than that of theIsraelites and the Hebrews.
ええ、もちろんです。旧約聖書と新約聖書は互いに調和していますが、キリストはそれを異なるレベル、異なる契約、異なる道徳的教えへと引き上げました。「目には目を」と言うだけでは不十分でした。彼は「もう一方の頬を向けなさい」「汝の敵を愛しなさい」と言いました。キリストの道徳基準は、イスラエル人やヘブライ人のそれよりもはるかに高められたものだったのです。
But I'm going toaskyou whoseBible, okay?Now,yourBible thatyou use currentlyis written in theEnglish language, right? Correct?
では、誰の聖書なのか、とお聞きします。あなたが今使っている聖書は英語で書かれていますよね?
TheKingJamesVersion,yes,thanks to Tyndale.
欽定訳聖書(KingJamesVersion)ですね。ティンダルのおかげです。
Tyndale:ウィリアム・ティンダル(William Tyndale)のこと。16世紀のイングランドの学者で、宗教改革の指導者の一人。ヘブライ語やギリシャ語の原典から初めて聖書を英語に翻訳した人物の一人であり、彼の翻訳は後の欽定訳聖書に大きな影響を与えました。
Exactly,it's written in theEnglish language, which initselfisonly say 500 years old.Now, the Christianity initself, say,is 2,000 years old or even older. Yeah, correct?Now, which means that theBiblewasoriginally written not inEnglish but in ancient…
その通りです。英語で書かれており、それ自体はたかだか500年の歴史しかありません。キリスト教自体は2000年かそれ以上の歴史がありますよね?つまり、聖書はもともと英語ではなく、古代の…
Koine Greek.
Koine Greek:コイネー・ギリシャ語。新約聖書が書かれた当時のヘレニズム世界の共通語。
Correct.Now, if welookat the Greek terminology ofman...
terminology (n):専門用語、術語。
Yes, and Jesus spoke Aramaic.You could translate things,you acknowledge that.
ええ、そしてイエスはアラム語を話しました。物事は翻訳できる、とあなたも認めますよね。
Well, we translate things, but translations are linguisticallyambiguous.As a former classicist,I know that language can't be translated directly. So for example, ifyoulookat the translation of of of certain words into "man," so I'vegottwo wordshere. So I'vegot "malakoi," which means essentiallysoft, whichisn't necessarily directly saying agayman. And then we'vegot "arsenokoitai," which essentially means prostitutes.Now, if welookat things linguistically, we can pick apart theBible and say that actually,itwasn't sayingman shall not sleep withman,it's sayingman shall not sleep with prostitutes, whichis an entirely different linguistic thing.
ええ、翻訳はしますが、翻訳には言語的な曖昧さがつきものです。元古典学者として言いますが、言語は直接的に翻訳できません。例えば、「男」と訳されている特定の単語を見てみましょう。ここに2つの単語があります。「malakoi(マラコイ)」、これは本質的に「柔らかい」という意味で、必ずしも直接的にゲイの男性を指すわけではありません。そして「arsenokoitai(アルセノコイタイ)」、これは本質的に「男娼」を意味します。言語学的に見れば、聖書を分析して、実は「男は男と寝てはならない」と言っているのではなく、「男は男娼と寝てはならない」と言っているのだ、と主張できます。これは全く異なる言語学的な事柄です。
linguistically (adv):言語学的に、言語の点で。
ambiguous (adj):曖昧な、多義的な、複数の解釈ができる。
classicist (n):古典学者。ギリシャ・ローマの古典文学や文化を研究する学者。
malakoi / arsenokoitai:議論の核心となっているギリシャ語の単語。学生はこれらの単語の翻訳の妥当性に疑問を呈しています。
I'm not evengetting into Leviticus, though. But my contentionis completely New Testament focused.
私はレビ記の話をしているわけではありません。私の主張は完全に新約聖書に焦点を当てています。
これはレビ記ではありません。
Whatyou said,man shall not speaking withman...
あなたが言った「男は男と…」
No, but thisis thisis these words are used throughout...
いいえ、でもこれらの言葉は全体で使われて…
Well, actually inRomans 1,itwas actually women sleeping with women. Soyougotyour verses wrong. InRomans 1,Paulis prophesying about the end ofthe world and he's saying that in the end times,womanwilllike withwoman-like andmanwill, Ithink it might sayman withman-like.You have toget the verses specifically.
実は、ローマ人への手紙1章では、女性が女性と寝ることについて書かれています。だからあなたは聖句を間違えています。ローマ人への手紙1章で、パウロは世の終わりについて預言し、終わりの時には、女は女を好み、男は…確か男は男を好むと書いてあったかと思います。聖句は具体的に確認する必要がありますが。
Butitis agreed upon, andyou can agree, thisiswhy traditionis important. And I even say thisas a Protestant,is that webelieve that scriptureis very important, but alsolook to tradition. Church traditionhas had an unbrokenchain affirming matrimony, holy matrimonybeingoneman,onewoman.One evenas a non-Catholic, I'm glad that PopeLeohas reaffirmed in thelast couple ofdays. And so I'm not even sureyour contention,yourpoint. Areyou saying that theBibledoesn't affirmmarriageasoneman,onewoman? Areyou saying church traditiondoesn't affirmmarriageoneman,onewoman?
しかし、これには同意が得られており、あなたも同意できるはずですが、だからこそ伝統が重要なのです。プロテスタントとして言いますが、私たちは聖書が非常に重要だと信じていますが、伝統にも目を向けます。教会の伝統は、結婚、つまり聖なる婚姻が一人の男と一人の女のものであることを肯定する、途切れることのない鎖を持ってきました。非カトリック教徒としてさえ、私はここ数日で教皇レオがそれを再確認したことを嬉しく思います。ですから、あなたの主張、あなたの論点がよくわかりません。聖書は結婚を男女間のものとして肯定していないと言いたいのですか?教会の伝統が結婚を男女間のものとして肯定していないと?
unbroken (adj): 途切れない、連続した。
matrimony (n):婚姻、結婚。特に法的な、あるいは宗教的な儀式としての結婚を指すことが多いです。
I'm saying theBibledoesn't affirm.
Butit clearlydoesn't affirm. Thatis complete nonsense. But Christ ourLord, whichis the standard, he affirms thisidea thatyouwill leaveyour father'shome, going back toGenesis12 and thisidea of Abraham leavinghis father'shome, andyouwill cleave toyour wife. That a new, thatit would be calledone. Infact, thisidea of a newcreation whichissomething thatis then usedby the ApostlePaul to describethe the church of Christ and the bride of... the churchbeing the bride of Christ with Jesus. So I'm not even sureyour contention.Itis…
しかし、明らかに肯定しています。それは全くのでたらめです。私たちの主であり基準であるキリストは、「あなたは父の家を出て」という考えを肯定しています。これは創世記12章、アブラハムが父の家を出る話に遡ります。「そして妻と結ばれる」。新しいもの、それは「一体」と呼ばれるでしょう。実際、この新しい創造という考えは、後に使徒パウロがキリストの教会と、イエスと結ばれるキリストの花嫁としての教会を説明するために用いたものです。ですから、あなたの主張がよくわかりません。それは…。
Butyou're just avoiding mypoint. I'm saying theBible that we havetodayis100% a translationand a translationis linguisticallyambiguous.
あなたは私の論点を避けています。私が言っているのは、今日私たちが持っている聖書は100%翻訳であり、翻訳には言語的な曖昧さがあるということです。
I acknowledge that. But what about specifically in Matthew or in thebook ofRomans? And but in order foryou to be correct,you mean the Church Fathers translatedit wrong when they were withinlike 50 years of this? In order foryour contention to be correct,you have to say that the early Church Fathers that wrote the early letters to the church, they were translatingit wrong and the tradition they establishedwas wrong. Soby then, we can leanon tradition and scripture. So whenyouget tradition plus scripture,yougetsomething thatis authentic, thatis real, and thatis verifiable.
それは認めます。しかし、マタイによる福音書やローマ人への手紙については具体的にどうですか?そして、あなたの主張が正しいとすれば、教父たちは、出来事から50年ほどの間に、それを間違って翻訳したということになりますか?あなたの主張が正しいとすれば、教会への初期の書簡を書いた初期の教父たちが、それを誤訳し、彼らが確立した伝統も間違っていたと言わなければなりません。そうであれば、私たちは伝統と聖書に頼ることができます。伝統と聖書が合わさったとき、本物で、現実的で、検証可能なものが得られるのです。
I've already highlighted the traditiondoes not align with scripture. We've gone back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia.
伝統が聖書と一致しないことは既に指摘しました。私たちは数千年前の古代メソポタミアまで遡りました。
But understand, butatthe time, theyall spoke Greek, they wrote Greek, and they spoke Aramaic. So for example, when they were writing the early gospels, the synoptic gospels of Matthew,Mark, andLuke, they were obviously writing in Greek. They knew that language. So in Matthew, when they were writing Greek and then the early Church Fathers knew Greekand adopted thatas church tradition, we have a 2,000 unbrokenchain. I thinkyou can irrefutably say thatitwas the teachings of Christ foroneman andonewoman. Because the church traditionhas been unbroken for 2,000 years and they derivedit from scripture of thatoriginal language.
しかし、理解してください。当時、彼らは皆ギリシャ語を話し、ギリシャ語で書き、アラム語を話していました。例えば、彼らが初期の福音書、つまりマタイ、マルコ、ルカの共観福音書を書いていたとき、彼らは明らかにギリシャ語で書いていました。彼らはその言語を知っていたのです。ですから、マタイ伝で彼らがギリシャ語で書き、そして初期の教父たちがギリシャ語を知っていて、それを教会の伝統として採用したとき、私たちには2000年の途切れることのない鎖があるのです。キリストの教えが男女間のことであったと、議論の余地なく言えると思います。なぜなら、教会の伝統は2000年間途切れず、彼らはそれを元の言語の聖書から導き出したからです。
You can't argue that. Thatdoesn'tmakesense.I mean, if we agree to disagree then might welookat biology?
それは主張できません。意味が通りません。もし意見が合わないなら、生物学に目を向けてもいいですか?
Soyou know better than the church fathers?
では、あなたは教父たちより賢いと?
Idon't, I'm not sayingI know better than the church fathers. What I'm sayingis linguistically, thereis undeniably anerror. Regardless of whatyou say, thereis a translation...
いいえ、教父たちより賢いと言っているわけではありません。私が言っているのは、言語学的に、否定しようのない誤りがあるということです。あなたが何と言おうと、翻訳の…
Our lensmay be, but not from the people when they were making these traditions...
私たちの見方ではそうかもしれませんが、彼らがこれらの伝統を作っていた時の人々からすれば違います。
I agree, theymay havegotten that right, but thatmay not have been theiroriginal meaning. What we are sayingis the meaninghas been warpedover time because of societal and cultural contexts suchas theBritishEmpire...
同意します。彼らは正しく理解していたかもしれませんが、それが彼らの本来の意味ではなかったかもしれません。私たちが言っているのは、大英帝国のような社会的・文化的文脈によって、時代とともに意味が歪められてきたということです。

Umhello, thankyou for coming totalk. Um, so my question,assomeone studying archaeology and biological anthropology, um, I've learned that moral codes and social norms havealways been fluid, shapedbytime, culture,power. Somany ancient and recent societies embraced same-sex relationships and even theidea of third genders uh well before Western conservatism even existed. So whenyou claim that modernconservative values represent some kind ofuniversal objective moraltruth,likeyou saidonyour chairover there, um areyou just defending a selective,historically recent ideology that erasesmost ofhumanhistory and targets peoplewho havealways been part ofit?
こんにちは、お話しいただきありがとうございます。ええと、私の質問ですが、私は考古学と生物人類学を学んでいる者として、道徳規範や社会規範は常に流動的で、時代、文化、権力によって形成されてきたと学びました。古代から近代に至るまで、多くの社会が西洋の保守主義が存在するずっと以前から、同性間の関係や第三の性という考え方さえも受け入れてきました。ですから、あなたが現代の保守的な価値観が、そちらの椅子でおっしゃったように、何らかの普遍的で客観的な道徳的真理を代表していると主張されるとき、それは人類の歴史の大部分を消し去り、常にその一部であった人々を標的にする、選択的で歴史的に新しいイデオロギーを擁護しているだけなのではないでしょうか?
archaeology (n):考古学
anthropology (n):人類学
fluid (adj): 流動的な、変わりやすい。ここでは「道徳規範が固定されたものではなく、時代と共に変化する」という文脈で使われています。
conservatism (n):保守主義。伝統的な価値観や制度を維持しようとする政治的・社会的な思想。
objective (adj):客観的な。主観に基づかない、事実としての真理を指します。
selective (adj):選択的な、えり好みする。ここでは「歴史の中から都合の良い部分だけを選んでいる」という批判的なニュアンスです。
ideology (n):イデオロギー、観念形態。特定の社会集団が共有する信念や価値観の体系。
erase (v): 消し去る、抹消する。
No, but canyoupoint to me of a greatpower that endorsed same-sexmarriage, not cohabitation, butmarriage?
いいえ。ですが、同棲ではなく、同性「婚」を承認した大国を一つでも挙げていただけますか?
endorse (v): (公に)是認する、支持する、承認する。
cohabitation (n):同棲。法的な婚姻関係を結ばずに共に住むこと。
Ancient Mesopotamia.
Asmarriage?Asasas recognizedby thestate.
100%.
100%そうです。
And howdid that workout for them?
それで、彼らはどうなりましたか?
It workedout perfectlyfine.Itwas an accepted norm ofsociety.
全く問題なく機能していました。社会で受け入れられた規範でした。
norm (n):規範、標準。社会において当然のこととされる行動や考え方の基準。
なるほど。それでも私はそれが間違っていると思います。
Okay, okay, swiftly movingon. Soyou saiditwas basedon scripture andyoubelieve that there are moral objectiveuniversaltruths.
わかりました、では次に進みます。あなたはそれが聖書に基づいており、道徳的に客観的で普遍的な真理が存在すると信じているとおっしゃいましたね。
scripture (n):聖書、聖典。キリスト教やユダヤ教の正典を指します。
Yes, there are. So murderis wrongtoday and murderwas wrong 2,000 years ago.
はい、存在します。殺人は今日も悪であり、2000年前も悪でした。
Right, okay, infact that's not samesex, but fair, fair, I seeyourpoint.
ええ、なるほど。それは同性の話ではありませんが、まあ、おっしゃることはわかります。
But there are moraltruths that are transcendent oftime, place, and matter.
しかし、時間、場所、そして物質を超越した道徳的真理は存在するのです。
transcendent (adj): 超越的な、並外れた。ここでは、物理的な制約や時間的な変化の影響を受けない、普遍的な真理を指しています。
Okay, but but so just to clarify,youbelieve that thisis in theBible. Thisis laidout in theBible thatman shall not sleep withman and so thereforeit's...
わかりました。しかし、確認ですが、あなたはそれが聖書に書かれていると信じているのですね。男は男と寝てはならないと聖書に明記されており、だからこそ…。
It's also repeated throughout the New Testamentas well. Matthew, in thebook of Matthew, Jesus affirms the biblical standard formarriage.
それは新約聖書全体でも繰り返されています。マタイによる福音書で、イエスは結婚に関する聖書の基準を再確認しています。
Okay, so I'm gonnamaketwo very, very quickpoints. So the first, um, so if welookat the Old Testament inisolation, just to start off withas an example. So let'slookatExodus 35:2, which suggests that ifyou workon the Sabbath,you should be put todeath. Ifyoulookat Leviticus11:7,it suggests that ifyou have pork,you should be put todeath. Ifyouplanttwo crops sideby side,you should be stonedbyyour entire village. Ifyouwear a suit, whichyou arewearingnow, that containstwo different fibers intertwined into the same jacket,you should be burnedat the stakebyyour ownmother.Now, following that rationale, in Leviticus 18:22 whenitstates thatman shall not sleep withman,why aren't we burning ourselvesat the stakeas well?Why aren't we stoning ourselves todeath?
わかりました。では、非常に手短に2点述べさせてください。まず、例として旧約聖書だけを切り取って見てみましょう。出エジプト記35章2節では、安息日に働けば死刑にされるべきだと示唆されています。レビ記11章7節を見れば、豚肉を食べれば死刑にされるべきだと示唆されています。2種類の作物を隣り合わせに植えれば、村全体から石打ちにされるべきです。あなたが今着ているような、2種類の異なる繊維を織り交ぜた上着を着ていれば、自分の母親によって火あぶりにされるべきです。さて、その論理に従うなら、レビ記18章22節で「男は男と寝てはならない」と述べられているのに、なぜ私たちは自分たちを火あぶりにしないのでしょうか?なぜ石打ちで殺し合わないのでしょうか?
inisolation:孤立して、単独で。ここでは「旧約聖書だけを文脈から切り離して見てみると」という意味です。
Sabbath (n):安息日。ユダヤ教で労働が禁じられている土曜日のこと。
Leviticus (n):レビ記。旧約聖書の一書で、祭儀や律法に関する規定が多く記されています。
intertwined (adj): 絡み合った、織り交ぜられた。
at the stake: 火あぶりの刑で。中世の処刑方法の一つ。
(拍手)
Doyou care toaddress mymain contention that Christaffirmed biblicalmarriage in thebook of Matthew? And canyoutell me thedifferencebetween the ceremonial, the moral, and the ritual law? And then finally, also,tell me about Christianity, thedifferencebetween the new and the Old Covenant, oryou're just going tocherry-pick certain verses of ancientIsrael that do not apply to new Christianity?
私の「キリストはマタイによる福音書で聖書的な結婚を肯定した」という主要な主張に反論していただけますか?そして、儀式律法、道徳律法、祭司律法の違いを教えていただけますか?そして最後に、キリスト教における新しい契約と古い契約の違いについても教えてください。それとも、あなたは新しいキリスト教には適用されない古代イスラエルの特定の聖句を、ただつまみ食いしているだけですか?
contention (n): (議論における)主張、論点。
covenant (n): (神と人との)契約。キリスト教神学において非常に重要な概念です。
cherry-pick (v): (自分に都合のいいものだけを)つまみ食いする、えり抜きする。
Very fair, fair. I completely agree. So we'lllookattwopoints then. So firstly, um, if welookat the Old Testament, uh, we can see the kind of inconsistencies there. We've already touched upon that, right? Thatmakessense. Secondly,you mentioned thepoint of Jesus and Christ. He never mentionedanything to do with homosexualityatall.
ごもっともです。完全に同意します。では2つの点を見ましょう。まず、旧約聖書を見れば、そこに矛盾があることがわかります。それについては既に触れましたよね?理にかなっています。次に、あなたはイエス・キリストの点に言及しました。彼は同性愛について一切何も言及していません。
Whoa, holdon a second. Heaffirmed, heaffirmed biblicalmarriageasoneman andonewoman. He said aman shall leavehis...
おっと、待ってください。彼は聖書的な結婚を「一人の男と一人の女」として肯定しました。彼は「男はその…」と言いました。
in the New Testament?
新約聖書でですか?
In Matthew, thatis not correct.I believe in the New Testament, in the New Testament. Well,Romansis also in the New Testament. Secondly, inRomans 1, the ApostlePaultalks negatively about homosexuality explicitly. Also, homosexualityis repeated in thebook of Titus and in thebook ofJudeas notbeing favorableas the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Not eventalking about the Old Testament verses.
マタイ伝です。それは違います。新約聖書で、と信じています。ローマ人への手紙も新約聖書です。第二に、ローマ人への手紙1章で、使徒パウロは明確に同性愛について否定的に語っています。また、テトスへの手紙やユダの手紙でも、ソドムとゴモラの滅亡と同様に、同性愛は好ましくないものとして繰り返されています。旧約聖書の聖句は抜きにしてもです。
There are three types of the 613 Leviticallaws. Andyou,you know, of course, inyour own way,cherry-picked some of them. We do notlive under the ceremonial, we do notlive under the ritual, and but we dolive under the moral. There'sonly10 of the moral that weas Christiansbelieve we're bound to, somebelievenine, which of courseis the Decalogue. And so none of those thatyou mentioned weas Christiansbelieve that welive under. However, we dolookat what Christ articulatedas the biblical standard ofmarriage. And we can alsolook to church tradition for thisas well. And the churchhas had a tradition for wellover 2,000 years, even myselfas a Protestant acknowledges, that traditionismarriagebetweenoneman andonewoman.
レビ記には613の律法に3つの種類があります。そして、あなたはもちろんご自身のやり方で、その一部をつまみ食いしました。私たちは儀式律法の下には生きていません。祭司律法の下にも生きていません。しかし、道徳律法の下には生きています。キリスト教徒として私たちが従うべき道徳律法は10個だけです。9個だと信じる人もいますが、それがもちろん十戒です。ですから、あなたが挙げたもののどれ一つとして、私たちキリスト教徒が従うべきものはありません。しかし、私たちはキリストが結婚の聖書的基準として明確に述べたことには注目します。そして、これについては教会の伝統にも目を向けることができます。プロテスタントである私自身でさえ認めますが、教会には2000年以上にわたる伝統があり、その伝統とは、結婚は一人の男と一人の女の間のものであるということです。
articulate (v): (考えなどを)はっきりと述べる、明確に表現する。
tradition (n):伝統、しきたり。ここでは特に教会の教義や慣習の継承を指します。
Okay, but I work, okay. Say we putaside the Old Testament fornow. We'll put thataside and the inconsistencies there andlook purelyat the New Testament followingyour rationale, okay?Now, whenyou say that Christ lays specifically and the New Testamentstates specifically thatman shall not sleep withman, I'dlike topointout a linguisticerroron thatpoint.
なるほど。では、一旦旧約聖書は脇に置きましょう。それとそこにある矛盾は置いておいて、あなたの論理に従って純粋に新約聖書だけを見ましょう。いいですか?さて、あなたがキリストが具体的に、そして新約聖書が具体的に「男は男と寝てはならない」と述べていると言うとき、その点における言語的な誤りを指摘したいと思います。
Idid not say that. I said the biblicalmarriagewasaffirmed and thenRomans 1didtalk negatively about theaction of homosexuality.
私はそうは言っていません。聖書的な結婚が肯定されたと言ったのです。そしてローマ人への手紙1章が同性愛という行為について否定的に語っていると。
正直、自分としては「ざまぁみろ」という感情がどうしても拭えない。
もし腐女子を自認し、かつ炎上を起こしたくないとか、何が問題なのかわからないけど理解したい、という気持ちでこの記事が目に留まった方がいるなら嬉しい。
こちらも可能な範囲で言葉を尽くすので、「腐女子の功罪」について共に今後も考えて欲しい。
もちろん、腐女子でない人…男性とか、非オタとか、自分みたいな女オタクだけど腐女子とは(物理的にも)距離を置いてる、って人にも一考してもらえる機会になるなら幸いだ。
0.著者は何者だ?
自分は世紀末〜平成を生きた女オタクであり、いわゆる「男女カプ」や「世界観」「物語構成の美しさやテーマの描写」に重きを置く、考察厨、世界観厨と呼ばれてきた人種だ。
世紀末のアニメや漫画はキッズ向けであろうと平気で世界が滅んで主人公も死んだ。
続編のために主人公が生き返り、感動を台無しにされたこともあった。
このため「設定やキャラクター感情の辻褄が合っているかどうか」はかなり上位に食い込む判断基準であり、「好きなキャラクターではあるが生き返った(台無しにされた)からこのコンテンツはクソ」が共存し、作者への愛憎を募らせることも珍しくない。
ライブ感優位の物語が摂取できるようになったのは、かなり年齢を重ねてからだ。
時代と共に定義が揺らいだり移り変わることもあるが、ここでは平成初期〜中期の認識を元に「男同士を(公式/非公式問わず)カップリングさせ、恋愛やエッチなことをさせたいと思う女性」とする。
確か「腐女子」という言葉が生まれたのは2000年以降であり、それまでこの属性の人々の呼称が安定しなかった記憶がある。
自分はテニプリの個人ファンサイトで初めてこの呼称を知ったので、インターネットの普及もあってこの頃が「腐女子」という言葉の黎明期だったのではないか?と見ている。
ボーイズラブ(BL)、というジャンル名が普及したのは更にその後だ。
公式コミックだと思って購入したマンガが18禁シーン入りアンソロジーだったからですけど?
人間関係を拗らせていた筆者は「男の肉体(性欲)は汚い」という認識があった上に、「公式で恋愛関係、結婚関係のあるパートナー女性がいるのになんで浮気みたいなことを平気でやってんだコイツらは?」という設定至上主義が組み合わさり【腐女子氏ね】に速攻で傾いた。
とはいえ、当時数少ない仲の良かったクラスメイトがまさにデビューしたての同人作家腐女子だったため色々もどかしかった。
3.腐女子って変化してんの?
平成の30年間だけでも初期〜中期〜後期とかなりの移り変わりがあった。
また、生まれる前にその手の話題で盛り上がっていたキャプ翼、聖闘士星矢などが晴海の同人即売会でやり取りされてた時代を知っている「腐女子という言葉が生まれる前から活動していた女オタク」とも知り合いだったため、昨今の若い腐女子よりは『腐女子と呼ばれる人々の生態と歴史』は知ってる方だと思う。
で、その視点からすると昨今の「腐女子」という言葉は「オタク」同様、命名初期よりも一般化に浸透し、良くも悪くも多様性が生まれたと思う。
腐女子を名乗っている人を見ると身構えてしまうし、炎上している腐女子を見ると胸のすく思いがする。
だが、現在の親しくしている友人にも腐女子はいるし、彼女たちの研ぎ澄まされた語彙力からしか生まれないパワーワードは「腐女子がイヤ」という嫌悪感を軽く吹き飛ばしてしまう。
そして昨今、「腐男子」という言葉が生まれてかなり見方が変わった。
男性ながら家事や服飾を好む「オトメン」や、女性的な身なりを誇る「オネェ(オカマ、ニューハーフ)」といった存在を経て、こんなにもカジュアルに「同性愛的な楽しみ方が好き」と言える男性が世に出てこられたのは「オタク=犯罪者予備軍」と言われていた時代から考えたらとんでもなく素晴らしいことなのだ。
自分の好きではない属性だが、男優位と言われてきた社会から飛び出した女性の表現力が、巡り巡ってマイノリティ男性を救う連鎖を生み出している。
教室の隅っこで落書きをする事でしか満たされなかった小学生女児の魂が、なんとなく救われた気がした。
彼らのような人たちが心地よく受け入れられる社会になっているのなら、自分のようなオタクにだって居場所はあるのだと。
前述の通り「腐女子」は、その言葉の持つ意味や人々の属性がすっっっっっごく混沌としていて、この言葉自体が割と取り扱って注意となっている。
どうしても個人的な腐女子論を語る上で外せない概念なので、脇道にそれるが言及しておきたい。
ある。
というか、「腐女子」という言葉が生まれてから、そこをもじったように生み出された概念が「夢女子」だ。
少なくともこれらの言葉の発生には3〜5年のタイムラグがある。(それは絶対に違う、と仰られる有識者がいたら当時通っていた個人サイトのジャンル変容を添えて教えて欲しい)
わかる、めっちゃわかる。
だが平成終盤以降のインターネットではたまーに「腐女子って呼び方をやめよう!!」みたいな声かけが発生するが、それがうまく行った様子はない。
当然である。
それまで「女オタクなんて存在するわけないだろ(vs即売会見ろや)」というムードだった平成初期〜中期に「女オタクは!!!!!いまーす!!!!!!!」と認知させたのが『腐女子』という言葉の力であり、女オタク達がこぞって名乗り始めた理由なのだ。
引きこもりという言葉が生まれて、苦しむ若者を受け入れる社会になったように。
『腐女子』という言葉の発明は、存在を透明化されてきた歴戦の女オタク達にとってむちゃくちゃ存在感のあるパワーワードだったのだ。
腐女子を名乗れば、強くなれる!
自分は腐女子が苦手だったが、腐女子を名乗りたがる女オタク達の気持ちは痛いほど理解できた。
平成初期、まだ昭和の価値観は色濃く「女は男に従うものであり、勝つ事などありえない。オタクでも男の方が偉いのであり、女はその格下。というか、そもそもいるわけがないっしょw」というのが漠然と蔓延っていたのがオタク世界のインターネット黎明期であり、2ちゃんねるの「俺」文化の背景であり、オタクのオフ会に参加する時の覚悟であったのだ。
そもそも「PCという高額商品とインターネットに月額課金」という特殊な環境を整えられたのはプログラマーなど、ごく一部のIT知識と金銭の整った富豪しかいなかった。
人数的には30人に1人いるか居ないか程度だったんじゃなかろうか?
そんな時代にオフ会をすれば男5:女1みたいなのはザラにあったし、女オタク同士で集まる流れになると1:1になるジャンルとかもあって両極端だった。
(参加した事ないけど一緒にtalk!時代のガンパレ辺りの女性ユーザー認知の火力は凄かったと記憶している)
ついでに、当時のオタクは男女問わず大変拗らせていたので「オタクという属性にしかアイデンティティがない陰キャ男子」のマウントが取れる相手というのが「自分達男オタクよりも少なくて力も弱い女オタク」だったというのは背景分析として間違っていないと思う。
上澄はとことん品位があったものの、底辺はマジで救いようがなかった。
中間層という存在がすっぽ抜けていたのを、更に加速させたのが2ちゃんねる黄金時代のインターネッツだ。
こういう世界で「女」という属性を見せるのは女性器を晒したかのごとく好機の的にされた。
下ネタで絡まれ、マウントを取られ、嘲笑を浴びるのが「女オタク」のポジションであり、彼女たちが個人サイトに引きこもっても男たちはそれを匿名掲示板に貼り付けて、笑いものにしながら荒らし行為を繰り返した。
ポイピクなどで見られる「パスワード」機能は、当時の女オタクたちが心無い男オタク達から身を守るために必要とした防衛機能の名残である。
誰かと繋がりたい。
でも、イタズラに傷付けてくるような人に近寄られたくない。
当時、「女オタク」というだけで様々なセクハラや人権無視の扱いをされてきた彼女達にとって『腐女子』という忌み名は魔除け効果を持つとても心強い言葉だったのだ。
ただイラストを描いただけなのに。
ただ感想を書いただけなのに。
女という要素が少しでも嗅ぎ取られれば、匿名掲示板で集まってきた男達が下ネタや嫌がらせのコメントを、ありとあらゆる手段で繰り返してくる。
ブロックしても無限湧きしてくる捨て垢で、毎日何十件と粘着され続けてきたらそりゃ心も荒む。
「そりゃ腐ってるんだから当然だろ?
わざわざ書いてやってるんだから腐ってる女に寄って来んなよw
あ、文字読めねぇのかwwww」
こうやって彼女たちは心と尊厳を守るために「"腐"女子」という一見不名誉なアイデンティティを鎧に選び、下ネタセクハラ男達を彼らの嫌う男陵辱ハードプレイ下ネタで遠退けたのだ。
というか、この『腐女子』という言葉のインパクトと浸透力は当時かなり目覚ましいものがあった。
それまで「えーと、ほら、男同士の関係が好きな女の人…」みたいな感じで、どう呼べば良いのか、そもそもその趣味嗜好についてどう触れたら良いのか、良識あるオタクですらかなーり扱いには迷っていた。
そこに「はいはい!私は腐女子です!男同士のエッチな絡みが大好きです!」と聞いてもいないのに名乗ってくるコミュ障が大多数突撃してきたので、やんわり〜厳しく注意する人間もいれば、同担拒否よろしく締め出したり、まぁ同じ土俵に上がって焼け野原になったり、それはそれでまぁまぁ問題にはなった。
同時期に、インターネットの敷居が下がり「女オタク=腐女子」と勘違いした一般層がかなり生まれてしまったのも痛かった。
ちなみに筆者も、実の父親や仲の良い男子に「腐女子なんでしょ?」とナチュラルに勘違いされたので猛烈に反発してブチ切れたことがある。
女児向けコンテンツの男キャラってのは「王子様」でなきゃいけない。
多少は本命の女の子にいじわるしても、危機があれば命をかけて救いに行き、言葉にならない女の子の苦悩を解決し、最後にはキスをして救済してくれる…
これが平成初期女児向けコンテンツのスタンダードであり、多少女主人公が死んだりしてもそこら辺の「相手役」の王子様力は落とさなかった。
筆者はこういった女児向けコンテンツ出身で、男女の恋愛というのは子を残す(続編の予知)も含めて当然の帰結だろうと思っていた。
ディズニー黄金期のリトル・マーメイド、美女と野獣、アラジンの3コンボと派生作品を喰らってたので、「子を残す必要性」というのを続編への前振りとして考えていたし、ウテナはウテナで後になって振り返ってなるほどねと思っていたし、現在も男女カップリングからの子世代妄想や作者の性癖推測とかやるし、オリジナル子供キャラとかめっちゃ捏造して遊んでた。
そういう人間にとって「男同士の恋愛関係」は子世代の存在を否定するものであり、何なら男キャラに恋している女性キャラクターや女性読者との関係を否定するものであり、公式の男女関係への崇拝が強固であればあるほど「腐女子は原作の敵」に見えてしまうのである。
そこで反発して生まれたのが『夢女子』という言葉であったと、筆者は認識している。
それが省略されて夢。
男子キャラと擬似的な恋愛を楽しめる…ユーザー名に自分の名前を入れ、あだ名も呼んでくれて…といったときメモのような遊びが、インターネットとホームページ制作ツールの進化によって可能になった。
それがケータイの普及によって更に手軽に実現可能となり、好きなジャンプキャラやゲームキャラとの疑似恋愛を楽しむ女オタクがじわじわとケータイサイトを中心に姿を現し始めた。
同人誌を作って即売会に参加するほどではないが、自分の恋心をイケメンに受け止めて欲しいと思うお姫様系女児から進化したオタクが、テニプリなどの社会現象と共に広まったのが『夢女子』の発端だったと記憶している。
しかもこの自称は「私は"腐"女子なんかじゃありません!」という攻撃性を含んでいる物もあった。
筆者が当時、強めのアンチ腐女子だったというのもあるが「腐女子呼ばわりされてムカつく!」というお姫様系女子は間違いなく存在した。
そりゃ乙女ゲーに出てくる男子を他の男とくっつけたらコンセプト全否定なんだから当然である。
かくして一部の夢女子は、我が愛しのイケメンをメス堕ちさせた憎たらしい敵として腐女子を嫌っていた。
ちなみにこの手のお姫様精神の人が拗らせたまま歳を重ねると、ツイフェミと呼ばれるようになるっぽい。
これはもう、個々の相性やポリシーからケースバイケースとしか言いようがない。
しかも夢女子は腐女子ほど定義が強固ではなく「ドリーム小説を楽しんでいた女オタク」というふわっとしたものである。
夢小説を作った人間はたまに但し書きに「男の子の名前を入れないでください」とか書いてたくらいには何かあったんだろうなと思う。
ちなみに自分は、夢小説はまったく通っておらず子世代妄想や公式カプ小説といった「筆者の存在しない自前の二次創作」を楽しんでいた。
「推し」が居なくてもコンテンツを楽しめるタイプなので、昨今の「推し」ありきの流れにはちょっと乗り切れていないオタクである。
で、その視点から見ていて夢女子も腐女子も「推しキャラ」という存在にめっちゃ入れ込むタイプのオタクという点では似てるよなぁと感じている。
たまに「推しキャラを好きな自分の方が、公式より偉いと思ってるんだろうな」と感じる人もいる。
キモいと感じる心を否定する気は無いし、でも疑似恋愛や愛玩感情などは多くの人間に備わってるものなので、否定しても意味ないかなとは思う。
思うのは仕方ないし、内心の自由だし。
ただ個人的には、BLだろうと18禁要素や肌色多めのコンテンツが年齢制限なしに買えてしまう状態はどうかなと思っている。
正直、自分としては「ざまぁみろ」という感情がどうしても拭えない。
もし腐女子を自認し、かつ炎上を起こしたくないとか、何が問題なのかわからないけど理解したい、という気持ちでこの記事が目に留まった方がいるなら嬉しい。
こちらも可能な範囲で言葉を尽くすので、「腐女子の功罪」について共に今後も考えて欲しい。
もちろん、腐女子でない人…男性とか、非オタとか、自分みたいな女オタクだけど腐女子とは(物理的にも)距離を置いてる、って人にも一考してもらえる機会になるなら幸いだ。
0.著者は何者だ?
自分は世紀末〜平成を生きた女オタクであり、いわゆる「男女カプ」や「世界観」「物語構成の美しさやテーマの描写」に重きを置く、考察厨、世界観厨と呼ばれてきた人種だ。
世紀末のアニメや漫画はキッズ向けであろうと平気で世界が滅んで主人公も死んだ。
続編のために主人公が生き返り、感動を台無しにされたこともあった。
このため「設定やキャラクター感情の辻褄が合っているかどうか」はかなり上位に食い込む判断基準であり、「好きなキャラクターではあるが生き返った(台無しにされた)からこのコンテンツはクソ」が共存し、作者への愛憎を募らせることも珍しくない。
ライブ感優位の物語が摂取できるようになったのは、かなり年齢を重ねてからだ。
時代と共に定義が揺らいだり移り変わることもあるが、ここでは平成初期〜中期の認識を元に「男同士を(公式/非公式問わず)カップリングさせ、恋愛やエッチなことをさせたいと思う女性」とする。
確か「腐女子」という言葉が生まれたのは2000年以降であり、それまでこの属性の人々の呼称が安定しなかった記憶がある。
自分はテニプリの個人ファンサイトで初めてこの呼称を知ったので、インターネットの普及もあってこの頃が「腐女子」という言葉の黎明期だったのではないか?と見ている。
ボーイズラブ(BL)、というジャンル名が普及したのは更にその後だ。
公式コミックだと思って購入したマンガが18禁シーン入りアンソロジーだったからですけど?
人間関係を拗らせていた筆者は「男の肉体(性欲)は汚い」という認識があった上に、「公式で恋愛関係、結婚関係のあるパートナー女性がいるのになんで浮気みたいなことを平気でやってんだコイツらは?」という設定至上主義が組み合わさり【腐女子氏ね】に速攻で傾いた。
とはいえ、当時数少ない仲の良かったクラスメイトがまさにデビューしたての同人作家腐女子だったため色々もどかしかった。
3.腐女子って変化してんの?
平成の30年間だけでも初期〜中期〜後期とかなりの移り変わりがあった。
また、生まれる前にその手の話題で盛り上がっていたキャプ翼、聖闘士星矢などが晴海の同人即売会でやり取りされてた時代を知っている「腐女子という言葉が生まれる前から活動していた女オタク」とも知り合いだったため、昨今の若い腐女子よりは『腐女子と呼ばれる人々の生態と歴史』は知ってる方だと思う。
で、その視点からすると昨今の「腐女子」という言葉は「オタク」同様、命名初期よりも一般化に浸透し、良くも悪くも多様性が生まれたと思う。
腐女子を名乗っている人を見ると身構えてしまうし、炎上している腐女子を見ると胸のすく思いがする。
だが、現在の親しくしている友人にも腐女子はいるし、彼女たちの研ぎ澄まされた語彙力からしか生まれないパワーワードは「腐女子がイヤ」という嫌悪感を軽く吹き飛ばしてしまう。
そして昨今、「腐男子」という言葉が生まれてかなり見方が変わった。
男性ながら家事や服飾を好む「オトメン」や、女性的な身なりを誇る「オネェ(オカマ、ニューハーフ)」といった存在を経て、こんなにもカジュアルに「同性愛的な楽しみ方が好き」と言える男性が世に出てこられたのは「オタク=犯罪者予備軍」と言われていた時代から考えたらとんでもなく素晴らしいことなのだ。
自分の好きではない属性だが、男優位と言われてきた社会から飛び出した女性の表現力が、巡り巡ってマイノリティ男性を救う連鎖を生み出している。
教室の隅っこで落書きをする事でしか満たされなかった小学生女児の魂が、なんとなく救われた気がした。
彼らのような人たちが心地よく受け入れられる社会になっているのなら、自分のようなオタクにだって居場所はあるのだと。
前述の通り「腐女子」は、その言葉の持つ意味や人々の属性がすっっっっっごく混沌としていて、この言葉自体が割と取り扱って注意となっている。
どうしても個人的な腐女子論を語る上で外せない概念なので、脇道にそれるが言及しておきたい。
ある。
というか、「腐女子」という言葉が生まれてから、そこをもじったように生み出された概念が「夢女子」だ。
少なくともこれらの言葉の発生には3〜5年のタイムラグがある。(それは絶対に違う、と仰られる有識者がいたら当時通っていた個人サイトのジャンル変容を添えて教えて欲しい)
わかる、めっちゃわかる。
だが平成終盤以降のインターネットではたまーに「腐女子って呼び方をやめよう!!」みたいな声かけが発生するが、それがうまく行った様子はない。
当然である。
それまで「女オタクなんて存在するわけないだろ(vs即売会見ろや)」というムードだった平成初期〜中期に「女オタクは!!!!!いまーす!!!!!!!」と認知させたのが『腐女子』という言葉の力であり、女オタク達がこぞって名乗り始めた理由なのだ。
引きこもりという言葉が生まれて、苦しむ若者を受け入れる社会になったように。
『腐女子』という言葉の発明は、存在を透明化されてきた歴戦の女オタク達にとってむちゃくちゃ存在感のあるパワーワードだったのだ。
腐女子を名乗れば、強くなれる!
自分は腐女子が苦手だったが、腐女子を名乗りたがる女オタク達の気持ちは痛いほど理解できた。
平成初期、まだ昭和の価値観は色濃く「女は男に従うものであり、勝つ事などありえない。オタクでも男の方が偉いのであり、女はその格下。というか、そもそもいるわけがないっしょw」というのが漠然と蔓延っていたのがオタク世界のインターネット黎明期であり、2ちゃんねるの「俺」文化の背景であり、オタクのオフ会に参加する時の覚悟であったのだ。
そもそも「PCという高額商品とインターネットに月額課金」という特殊な環境を整えられたのはプログラマーなど、ごく一部のIT知識と金銭の整った富豪しかいなかった。
人数的には30人に1人いるか居ないか程度だったんじゃなかろうか?
そんな時代にオフ会をすれば男5:女1みたいなのはザラにあったし、女オタク同士で集まる流れになると1:1になるジャンルとかもあって両極端だった。
(参加した事ないけど一緒にtalk!時代のガンパレ辺りの女性ユーザー認知の火力は凄かったと記憶している)
ついでに、当時のオタクは男女問わず大変拗らせていたので「オタクという属性にしかアイデンティティがない陰キャ男子」のマウントが取れる相手というのが「自分達男オタクよりも少なくて力も弱い女オタク」だったというのは背景分析として間違っていないと思う。
上澄はとことん品位があったものの、底辺はマジで救いようがなかった。
中間層という存在がすっぽ抜けていたのを、更に加速させたのが2ちゃんねる黄金時代のインターネッツだ。
こういう世界で「女」という属性を見せるのは女性器を晒したかのごとく好機の的にされた。
下ネタで絡まれ、マウントを取られ、嘲笑を浴びるのが「女オタク」のポジションであり、彼女たちが個人サイトに引きこもっても男たちはそれを匿名掲示板に貼り付けて、笑いものにしながら荒らし行為を繰り返した。
ポイピクなどで見られる「パスワード」機能は、当時の女オタクたちが心無い男オタク達から身を守るために必要とした防衛機能の名残である。
誰かと繋がりたい。
でも、イタズラに傷付けてくるような人に近寄られたくない。
当時、「女オタク」というだけで様々なセクハラや人権無視の扱いをされてきた彼女達にとって『腐女子』という忌み名は魔除け効果を持つとても心強い言葉だったのだ。

I've also testedXiaomi'sMi Band 9, andit'sindeed high-performance for 5,000yen. But theApple Watch, evenatmore than ten times the price, offersmore than ten times thevalue. Intuitive operation,brightness, notification support...everythingis “thought through.”

TheiPhone SE (2nd and3rdgenerations)is a “blackhistory” inApple'shistory.
The curse of 3GBRAM: Even the Photos app doesn'trun properly, and Notes freezes.
Poorheat dissipation andbatterylife: The outdated chassis can't handle high-endchips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with noultra-wide angle—specs thatdon'tfeellike 2025.
Flawed coolingstructure: High-performancechips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermalrunaway.
Selling such a product under theApplenamewas honestly shocking.Applewas supposed to be amore trustworthy company.

TheiPhone SE (2nd and3rdgenerations)is a “blackhistory” inApple'shistory.
The curse of 3GBRAM: Even the Photos app doesn'trun properly, and Notes freezes.
Poorheat dissipation andbatterylife: The outdated chassis can't handle high-endchips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with noultra-wide angle—specs thatdon'tfeellike 2025.
Flawed coolingstructure: High-performancechips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermalrunaway.
Selling such a product under theApplenamewas honestly shocking.Applewas supposed to be amore trustworthy company.

■ TheiPhone SEwasApple'sbetrayal.
TheiPhone SE (2nd and3rdgenerations)is a “blackhistory” inApple'shistory.
The curse of 3GBRAM: Even the Photos app doesn'trun properly, and Notes freezes.
Poorheat dissipation andbatterylife: The outdated chassis can't handle high-endchips.
Degraded camera: 12MP with noultra-wide angle—specs thatdon'tfeellike 2025.
Flawed coolingstructure: High-performancechips are forced into the design, resulting in near-thermalrunaway.
Selling such a product under theApplenamewas honestly shocking.Applewas supposed to be amore trustworthy company.

■ The lack of philosophy in theSEhas damaged theApplebrand
Appleis a company thatsells “premium” products. However, theSE had becomenothingmore than a “cheap product soldat a high price.”
Because IloveApple, I couldn'taccept that.

■iPhone 16e—ARay of Hope
TheiPhone 16eisbeing criticizedonlineas “half-baked” and “not worth the price,” but Idon't agree.
It features the A17chip and supportsApple Intelligence.
The camerais lacking, butit's incomparable to theSE.
Thisis the firststep towardbreaking the “SE curse.”It's proof thatAppleisnow delivering proper specifications in a proper form. Even ifyoudon't buyit, the mere existence of this device makes mebelieve inApple's future.

■ Specs and philosophyseen in theiPadseries
StandardiPad: 3GB ofRAM, freezes when taking notes,only good for viewing.
iPad mini: A-serieschipisfine, usefulas asecondarysmartphone.
iPad Air: Almost the sameas the Pro. Best balance of price and performance.
iPad Pro: Competeswith theMacBook. Can't fully utilizeits potential due toOS limitations.
Having usedallApple products, I can tell which models have “philosophy.”

■Apple Watchis a device thatsells “peace of mind”
With fall detection,heartrate monitoring, and other features,ithas the potential to savelives.
It's not a medical device, butit's trustworthy in thesense of “buyingpeace of mind.”
Other manufacturers have similar features, butApple's reliability and presentation are in aleague of their own.
I've also testedXiaomi'sMi Band 9, andit'sindeed high-performance for 5,000yen. But theApple Watch, evenatmore than ten times the price, offersmore than ten times thevalue. Intuitive operation,brightness, notification support...everythingis “thought through.”

■AppleVision Pro —Madness with a Purpose
600,000yen?Who would buy that?
Equipped with anM2chip, no compromises.
Made not for others, but for their own beliefs.
ThisisApple's “reasonwhyit's worth the high price.” Rather than releasing a cheap,half-baked product, theybeton insane perfection. That'sApple.
■ Whenit comes to facialrecognition, Ilost toApple.
At first, Iwas againstit. “Fingerprintrecognitionisfine,” I thought.
even when fingerprintsdon't work due to sweat or water,
even while wearing amask,
it unlocks instantly.
Now, facialrecognitionis the norm. Ilost toApple. But I'mhappy aboutit.The futureApple envisionedwas truly convenient.
