The issue this time was the ``I am not alone – we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in Research on shota subculture in Japan'. In addition, this paper has been deleted at the time of article creation and cannot be read.



In his paper, Anderson defines the term ``shota'' as ``a genre of self-published erotic comics that feature juvenile characters in a cute, often sexually explicit manner,'' i.e., an adult doujinshi . . He claims that the purpose of his research is to understand the sexual pleasure obtained when viewing shota.

The study was conducted by performing masturbation for three months as a means of ``a kind of critical introspection'' and recording the date, place, time required, materials used, etc. of each session. In addition, the material was collected by Mr. Anderson's 'field work' in Japan. During the experiment, Anderson prohibited sex, non-shota pornography, and other forms of 'sexual relaxation.' Anderson also said that breaking up with a partner and going solo contributed to his motivation and enthusiasm for research.

Mr. Anderson summarized the findings in a paper and published it in the peer-reviewed academic journal Qualitative Research. Peer-reviewed means that the content of the study has been evaluated as valid by third-party verification. However, when the study went viral on the Internet, it drew confusion and criticism.

Dr. Mara Keire, a historian at the University of Oxford who has also written literature on sexual violence, commented that he was shocked to read this paper. Also, a Twitter user who is a Ph.D.



In addition, criticism spilled over into the political arena. British MP Neil O'Brien said, 'Why should the hard-nosed taxpayers in my constituency pay scholars to write about their experiences masturbating to Japanese porn? The non-STEM sector of higher education is too big and produces a lot of things that are not socially useful,' he said on Twitter.



In response to these accusations, some scholars defended Mr. Anderson's research with freedom of speech, but finally Qualitative Research announced that it would delete Mr. Anderson's research and investigate its contents. Did.



A spokesperson for the University of Manchester told the British tabloid Daily Mail, ``Recent literature on the research of PhD students raises serious concerns and complaints, and we We take this very seriously, and we are currently conducting a detailed investigation into all aspects of the student's engagement and the processes surrounding it, as well as other issues raised. , it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.'
