The anime community is finally fighting back against these ridiculous and racist calls for bans on certain types of animes and Manga, for the sake of "women's rights", completely eclipsing men's rights and the fact that these are drawings, which hurt no one. Do you want to live in a world where you can be persecuted for drawings? for thoughts? This is where it's leading, I have decided to sign this petition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - https://www.change.org/p/united-nations-stop-the-destruction-of-japan-s-culture - [quote]To stop the attacks on Japanese culture, there has been many calls for the ban of Japanese mediums such as Anime, Manga for the sake of "women's rights" (let alone men's rights) from Radical and far right hate groups in the West. These mediums are part of Japan, and they have helped Japanese people over the years, the mediums have been proven to decrease the amount of Sexual Assaults, which is the very reason Japan has one of the lowest -blam!- rates. The Japanese people have already stated their desire to keep this stability. While some of the content within the mediums may be viewed as "morally" wrong from some people's viewpoints, the Japanese people disagree, and it has benefited their society more than took away. Women also happen to be a big part of these mediums, and if they were outlawed, you would be worsening the lives of women (and men). So please, do not destroy Japan's peaceful Culture and Society.

Just so you know the facts, at the moment feminists are trying to ban heresy. (porn version), however that is just the bulwark, once they get rid of that, they would've have set a precedent, and would be able to call for censors on normal anime, "hey rem looks to "sexualized" = she gets censored in someway, a different [url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zc6cfWaGEv8/hqdefault.jpg]maid outfit [/url]because they find it offensive, her body changed because her chest is too big (keep in mind it's actually small). So to be clear, anime wouldn't be outright banned, but many would, and it would be open to outright censorship ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why should you act? If this gets banned, it will only set a precedent, how long till your niche is targeted? [b]First they came for the Heresy, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Heretic. Then they came for the Anime/Manga, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a fan. Then they came for the Gamers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Gamer. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me[/b] It's set in motion, radical feminism will restrict everything, There is still time to stop the key from turning. Disclaimer - [spoiler]*[u]Serious [/u]post, plz no ban. This refers to many issues that have been stated against this medium, not just one. I'l return in the morning/lunch as I have a College induction stuff./ Back from College, -blam!-ed up beyond belief, *shudders*. Again, this is a Serious thread, I would prefer not having my thread taken down due to views of someone who doesn't fully understand the topic we're discussing, as it is tricky(and because [u]some [/u]of the complaints launched against this medium come from very moral reasoning).[/spoiler]
