Kirsten Dunst is a Hentai (Pervert)

Words can not describe this video, and once it is seen it can not be unseen.

Celebrities do wacky things when they go to Japan, and sometimes it’s better we don’t find out. I remember reading about this over the summer, and seeing the pictures of Dunst walking around Tokyo’s Akihabara district dressed like a Sailor Moon reject and thinking, WTF? I thought this could be a high-end art project by the enigmatic Takashi Murakami, but it turned out to be Dunst singing Turning Japanese (a song about Masturbation) dolled up like Sailor Tramp, while every campy Japanese stereo-type is personified on screen.

As much as I love Japanese culture thanks to McG, this throws down an inappropriate stereotype of Japanese culture, implying men are a bunch of perverts who like “cartoon porn”. Oh look! Wacky American girl has blue hair! Oh look! Wacky American girl has a really short skirt! Oh look! You are taking the Japanese people back 3 steps as a people. This clip is exploitative, plain and simple, and couldn’t they have auto-tuned Dunst’s voice?

The worst part about this is since it is Kirsten Dunst millions will see it and think,  “Man, those Japanese are a freaky bunch.” Out the window goes the hard work of pioneers such as Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii legitimizing Japanese anime and culture as an artform, and more than simply naughty cartoons.  I think both her and McG owe the people of Japan an apology because this is going to take a while to live down for both the country and Dunst.

Video is after the jump contains some topless cartoon ladies and the end of Kirsten Dunst’s career, so be warned.
