Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explain the communication experiences between parents and teenagers in providing an understanding of the impact of watching pornographic content on the internet, and to identify the perceptions of parents and teenagers about anime with pornographic content. So that parents will get the best way of controlling. Most parents perceive anime as a cartoon for children, whereas many anime have pornographic content or ecchi elements (nudity and sexual intercourse). It is necessary to disseminate knowledge for parents to control teenagers when watching anime. Theories used include: stimulus organism response (SOR) theory to analyze perceptions, dialogical ethical theory to explain the process of interpersonal communication between parents and teenagers through dialogue, as well as role theory to explain how parents control teenagers. The research method used is qualitative through in-depth interviews of two groups of informants: teenagers anime buffs and parents. The results show that parents assess many inappropriate scenes in some anime, because they have ecchi or pornography and are not appropriate for children and teenagers to watch. Teenagers are free to watch anime with pornographic content because it takes advantage of parents' ignorance. Parents and teenagers have different experiences in understanding anime impressions with pornographic content. Limitations of parental knowledge are the main reason in the process of providing an understanding of the impact of watching anime with pornographic content to teenagers. Growing awareness for parental control should be done in three stages: (1) direct control, (2) dialogue to provide an understanding of the impact of watching porn anime, and (3) giving trust when parents and teenagers come to an understanding.
