As the name indicates, this actor in the commuting war is characterized by his (I've never encountered any female PPRs) reading of sexual/pornographic material on the train, usually completely engrossed in his reading and with a lurid sneer on his face. The material is very rarely straight up hardcore porn, but pornographic manga or tabloid magazines with a significant amount of sexual content.
I have no particular issues with the PPR, usually they're too occupied with their exciting reading/viewing material to pose any danger of invading my little commuting space (ok, a PPR combined with a crotch pressing situation could prove highly uncomfortable, but if the crowding has reached those levels, it's hard to read anything). In one way, I admire the moral courage of these people in being seemingly completely comfortable reading sexual/pornographic material on a crowded train, not giving a shit what anyone thinks. Personally, if I'm watching a movie (regular one, thank you very much) on my PSP on the train and it happens to feature some partial nudity I quickly fast forward as to not be perceived as a PPR and a disgusting piece of trash by any female commuter who happen to be in the field of vision from my screen.
In the end, what the commuting war comes down to is to get a favorable position and then hold it, by any legal means possible until arriving at the destination. I have no issues with any participants who are not a threat to my little spot on the train and thus the PPR in himself is not considered the enemy by me. I find their anarchistic approach to the commuting refreshing!

I guess if they are not reading some J.H. centric thing and switching between viewing it and some real J.H. girl near them than it's his right.
They outta do a hidden camera show for a comedy show with some hot young 20 something pretending to be engrossed in hardcore porn.
What kinda reactions would that get? Of course she would need a security escort to get her safely back home from the station :)
Yeah, hidden camera featuring all Commuter terrorists going at it at the same time.
Chris and Chris - I'm not sure there would be much comedy out of such a show? I think there would be plenty of groping though and perverts looking surprised if she doesn't welcome the advances...
A more viable concept could maybe to take the worst most aggressive commuters ever and put them on a crowded 3 hour ride without aircon with blunt objects all over the place, that could be interesting!
Dear Salaryman,
I'd appreciate it if you'd take the picture off your site of my children's book, 'Secrets of Eromanga'.
It's actually an adventure fiction set along the edge of the Eromanga Sea in Australia, not eromanga (erotic manga).
Thanks
Cheers

Hi Sheryl,
I understood that it wasn't about the eromanga I was thinking about but found it a bit funny :) Anyway, did not mean to cause you any concern or confuse your readers, picture removed.
