Follow-Up: In Defense of Pokemones
Dated: 19 Mar 2008
Those of you who came here to read about “pokemones,” a teen movement in Chile that Newsweek characterizes as particularly sexually driven, I STRONGLY recommend that you read the comments on that entry.
A couple of people from Chile have complaints about Newsweek’s portrayal. Both say that drugs don’t play as large a role as Newsweek says. One says that most teens hate pokemones (i.e. it’s not as mainstream a movement as Newsweek says), and the other notes that pokemones are not necessarily driven to orgiastic excesses when it comes to sex, either.
Once again, if you want more sides to the story, be sure to read those comments!
