Unsai's Fan Nickname
I see lots of people in the fandom calling Unsai a pedophile... and I wondered why he gets the name, but not Moss. Yeah, Unsai does some weird thing where he spreads Orion's legs to check his sex, but compare that to Moss always blushing at the young couples being romantic, claiming he's going to nosebleed and being the friendliest to puppy characters. If I had to tag anyone as pedo, as much as I think Moss is cool otherwise, it would prob be him LOL;;
But I might have missed a scene where Unsai was weirder. Anyone have any opinions or stuff to share about this?

Moss is old, old people finding young couples cute is not pedophilia...

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
I assume the whole thing stemmed from the "Unsai looks at Orion's balls" moment, as this was before GDWO translations existed and people had no idea why he would just flip Orion over and look at his junk.
Also, regarding Moss, iirc the only instance where he acted weird towards younger dogs was during one Koyuki/Weed scene. While that was definitely... very weird, it was pretty par for the course for the misaimed attempts at humor the scenes had in general, which also included "gems" like GB commenting that Koyuki had a nice ass and Kurotora making a boner joke at Kyoshiro's expense.
And like Atha said, liking children doesn't automatically make you a pedo.

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
I'm not saying Moss IS a pedophile, I'm just saying from what I've seen of Unsai, Moss is closer to deserving the nickname than him in my opinion. I know people can like children without seeing them that way ^^; Though the nosebleed thing still weirds me out, I know Yoshi isn't the best at humor.
Sorta sad to think a nickname like that stuck around even after the translations showed it was harmless... .. well.. as harmless as something like that could be lol; But that was all I was curious about was if that was why he got called it or if something worse happened.

As far as I know, Unsai looking at Orion's naughty bits is the "worst" thing he does to him... but again, the lack of context didn't help. For example, there's a scene fairly soon afterwards where Unsai takes Orion to the top of the tree the Sanada ninjas live in and gives him a little philosophy lesson. Within context, it's perfectly harmless, but if you don't know what the purpose of the scene was and you've got that balls-checking scene on your mind, it's very easy to get the wrong idea.
I think the reason the "pedo-setter" joke is still alive is simply because it just happened to stick with the fandom, even after the context of the scene became more widely known. That, and checking a child's genitals to find out their sex instead of just asking them is still kinda weird

This could be similar to Kaibutsu's case, where he doesn't really have a name, besides P4, but the name stuck because it's been used for so long.
Thanks for explaining to me! :3
..True, he seriously could have just asked LOL;;;

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
Pff, I'm sorry if my using of the nickname in the other topic sparked this debate. It was a nickname we used for him back on the old board, and I've always liked using it for him. That said, I don't think he's actually a pedophile. xD;

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
LOL no it's fine. it just made me remember how I kept seeing the nickname when people bring him up so I wanted to bring it up. Ive been meaning to for a while, just kept forgetting to.
But I'm glad, cuz Unsai is pretty cool for an old man ninja dog -w-

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
I think it's just so ridiculous! Without the context, people can take it the wrong way, so we used it as sort of a justification of why he did it. Now that it's not the case, the nickname's just kind of stuck and it makes me laugh. xD
Aaah, yes, Unsai is one of my all-time favorite Ginga characters!! I'm glad to see him still getting some attention! ^^

Re: Unsai's Fan Nickname
Haha this whole thing is quite funny, I totally understand why it seems weird if a person wasn't there at the nicknames conception!
Over time I guess the nickname just lost its original meaning, which is why it stuck - it's quite catchy, no? An in-joke that just became normalised as opposed to representative.
