I think I know what you're talking about. Personally, I've always chalked it up to Japanese media as an outlet for people that have to live in a restrictive culture. I think every culture does this to a degree: fantasies are sold for the consumer to live vicariously. Everyone just has different unmet psychological needs, where trends vary culturally. IMO, American media is just as fucked up in completely different ways.

It’s just what I see in some art I enjoy, and then we see some FloridaMan type crimes like Dude Emerges From Ceiling And Throws Log and we Really Wonder.

Sometimes it's mental illness, other times it's when all the manga and video games just aren't enough.
