Not a lurker, but I guess it's the right place to make this post.I've always been a huge fan of the Yankii/Furyo/Bosozoku movement in Japan since I discovered GTO. Since then I've read pretty much all the mangas from this genre that came to the West.I love it so much to the point that I'm making a game about it and writing a story based on Japanese teenagers fighting for whatever they believe in and for the control of their respective gang/school.But I'm hesitating between setting it in our current era or the era where this movement shined the most (80's/90's). Me, I'd rather put the setting in our modern days. But I have no idea what the current delinquents are up to in Japan today. Can we talk about it?Also, I want to pick up a username based on this. What's the best term between Yankii(dev) or Furyo(dev)? Is there a better term to make it my online personality?
>>50772904Weren't bosozoku's the major part of the criminial youth back then?>>50773017Yeah I remember a movie making a depiction of it. Blue something. Really cool movie.
>>50775512>Weren't bosozoku's the major part of the criminial youth back then?Maybe but they're not the only ones, just work your setting around it. You could just have them as an enemy faction if you just don't want the player driving a bike. If you don't want bikes at all you could do something like "this delinquent group managed to beat the bosozoku out of town and now there's a power vacuum at some schools".
I'm pretty sure that was only made possible because of the current politics/economy and fashions trends of that time, but you could just create a fantasy world, it's a fucking videogame nobody cares.
>>50773017>Japan invented and isolated methamphetamine in the 1880sdidn't know that but y'know with how big it is in ghetto, it being a Japanese invention checks out
Bit of a weird thread, but I'll bite.> Me, I'd rather put the setting in our modern daysThat is definitely the best choice. Since writing an appealing bosozoku story as an observer, and one who is decades and seas away, is not going to have that level of authenticity that makes them great. If you've read enough bosu manga, you can surely understand what I mean. It is the example I always go to, but Bakuon Rettou wouldn't have been as good if the mangaka hadn't lived it himself. People can, and will, disagree with me, but these groups have a spiritual aspect that is extremely difficult to nail down unless you truly live it yourself.I can't really speak on what modern delinquency is like in Japan, but I do know that it does not resemble the bosozoku. There were large cultural and legislative shifts that, functionally, killed the movement, so trying to write a bosu story in a contemporary setting would be very difficult. If you haven't, give Sayonara Speed Tribes a watch. It is a sort of retrospective on bosu culture from a guy who grew up in it and has watched it die.>for a reason I can't have them involved in my storyThe motorcycle wasn't just a vehicle they liked to use, it also symbolized a lot about the youth movement of the time. It was cheap, so younger kids could purchase one, and it offered freedom of movement. They didn't need to rely on the society that they were so adamant on revolting against in order to get around. It was something they could build themselves too. The motorcycle was a physical symbol of the freedom that they so wanted. You can easily right a story without motorcycles (for whatever reason you choose) but you definitely need that symbolic "motorcycle" in order to make it at all similar to the Japanese delinquent movements. Otherwise, you're just writing a generic gang story set in Japan.> you could just create a fantasy worldI think this is the best option available to you, unless you really want to spend a lot of time researching the cultural support and legacy for these various groups, since it seems like you still have a pretty surface level understanding of both the story you want to tell and the culture that has got you interested in writing one.

These last few days I've been seeing people trying to bring more attention to female vocaloid producers in the western space, but the events and shoutouts they're trying to do have been highlighting transwomen at the same time, which even without being directly transphobic, isn't it a little weird to act like they don't get enough spotlight considering most of the most popular western vocaloid producers at the moment are trans or gender non-conforming in some way?
