I guess lain was kind of good. If it's okay, I would like to sexually bully her a little. Funny thing how the entire thing went over the heads of the audience though. I heard the director was disappointed in the Japanese audience for being exactly the same way the Western audience is.

>I would like to sexually bully her a little.
lmao judging from the game she might have a father fetish. i wasn't able to attach my own files so i've linked to a youtube video (couldn't timestamp, skip to 5:12), it has japanese subtitles that i've written here:
<男の人の熱い胸に肌を重ねていると、照れくさいけどでも心のどこかですごく気持ちいい
<でも心のどこかですごく気持ちいいって感じている
<お父さんの手で私の体を隅々まで触ってもらう
<本当のお父さんとはこんなことしてないのに
make of it what you will. after all she was a sexually sheltered growing girl with no human (let alone male) contact with no real context for that being a perverted thing to do
>Funny thing how the entire thing went over the heads of the audience though.
more or less
>I heard the director was disappointed in the Japanese audience for being exactly the same way the Western audience is.
you mean ueda? he said he formulated SEL, at least the anime, in a way so that the american audience would have a different enough interpretation than the japanese audience as to create a conflict between them when they discussed it. but i guess both were brainlets so neither really got what it was trying to say about reality/society/humanity, what it was trying to warn about the future of technology and trasnhumanism.
wikipedia, the free enkikelopedia, says that there's something about ueda putting uniquely japanese values into SEL as a jab at the post-WWII developments but i wasn't able to corroborate that in the sources listed or by studying the anime myself, but i'm american so i guess that's kinda the point that i wasn't able to see it.

I guess the computer Internet does seem to be a Western invention, maybe that's what he meant? If he ever said that in the first place. Sorry for the late response, I wasn't expecting nearly this much activity on /jp/.
I don't know if I'd be a very good daddy for Lain.

Yeah, I remember reading that comment of his in an interview as well, but he doesn't explicitly mention that he was disappointed on any audience, only that he expected differences in interpretation, so we can only infer his disappointment.
It's funny, I think he thought at least the japanese viewers would be able to understand Lain instead of glorifying her in the same way as the characters in the anime.

Think about this:
Karl...
- Is a Westerner
- Is plainly quite ugly
- Advocates for trying to kill Lain
- Gets down on one knee, right in Lain's face, and tells her he thinks he loves her

you might be on to something. i don't know about that last one though. it's not present in any subtitles, but in Layer:05 when lain is in the street and not getting hit by any cars she is quietly "praying" to be loved (私を好き…私を好き…). maybe karl is being influenced by a psychic effect from her or this prayer?

I remember it pretty explicitly, in an episode where things start going to shit for people outside of Lain's family, I think the men in black drive up to her place just to tell her that they won't be bothering her anymore. Karl takes his headset off, confesses those feelings, his Chinese buddy laughs at him, and then they leave.

this clip, right? i don't really see how it fits into the evil thing. you mean cause it would make him a pedo or something? even granting that and everything else you mentioned, i still think it's a non-sequitur to glean that message. it's just such a weird thing to put in a series whose message is totally unrelated to that.

from Layer:10 btw, that's when Tachibana Laboratory (employers of the MIB) used lain's list of all the Knights and their identities to kill them (at least the ones that hadn't already killed themselves, like Shou's mother).
