That’s not how that works. That’s not how the law works, that’s not how reality works. If you stopped a person from hitting another person that would be because you don’t want that other person get hit, right? But if the person you stopped were Latino, would it be fair for him to say you’re stopping him only because…

Because I wasn’t talking about Japanese people, at all, in my metaphor. You seem to not understand many basic concepts of arguments. You seem to take some words from anyone’s posts and make up some sort of strawman post that doesn’t even argue the same points. Did you even noticed the word “cucumber” in there? Or did…

Lars von Trier movies are also not porn. You missed the point entirely.

Yes, it oppresses them as ARTISTS, not as women. You seem to have trouble grasping this concept.

You’re unlike Japanese culture then. Good for you.

Is Kodomo no Jikan the majority of lolicon manga/anime or is it the minority/the exception to the rule? This is like pointing to Lars von Trier movies and say “See? Porn are art!”*.

Even if the majority of the artists signing the rebuttal were women, that doesn’t mean the law were made to oppress women. You seem to be oblivious to this. If a law were made that cucumber is now illegal to be eaten and most of the signers of a rebuttal were Chinese (for some reason), would you claim this law was…

That’s not the response from Japanese women. That’s the response from Japanese ARTISTS. It’s ridiculously dumb to claim the ban is oppressing WOMEN. It was oppressing artistic freedom. You’re also seem to be on a crusade to defend the anime/manga’s reputation of being exploitative, xenophobic and borderline racist.…

It’s only progressive in the sense they allowed anyone to contribute. But the contents themselves are anything but. Sure, good to see they have a freedom to write whatever they wanted but what is the standard is xenophobia and misogyny.

Maybe because they wanted to play the game get made and even though the game will be free, these people are willing to pay to have it made? Maybe look up the term “altruism”.

Where the hell did you get the idea that that UN (stupid) ban on sexual violence in media as “oppression of women”?

Diverse, yes. Progressive, no. The stuff he’s saying is not a niche in the manga/anime scene. Instead, those are the usual standards. You can’t really call those “caricatures” if you could pick a random title from an anime/manga database and you’re likely to hit one just like what he was making fun of. Make no mistake…

It’s not mere “assumption” if it’s the gold standard. The manga industry is not the worst but it’s also not the bastion of progressive values.

Yes, because companies as big as YT which is owned by Google would change stuff on a whim, for no apparent financial gain. That was sarcasm. We’re not talking about videos that had sponsors, we’re talking about ads that are played before videos. Those guys wouldn’t want their products be shown before controversial…

It’s the advertisers. There is no reason for YT to turn down views even when they’re from clickbait videos since YT gets paid by ads viewed. So it’s actually in YT’s best interest to not restrict any video as long as it can get massive views. So the only reason why they would do something like this is because of…

1. They can still ask money from their viewers. They can still make and upload videos.

Wrong at what? The definition of “censorship”? Because no one had been able to rebuke how what is happening is NOT censorship. You know what is really happening? A market shift. That is what is happening. Content creators been making money off YT videos without actually understanding how they made their money (ads,…

Are they making a product or posting an opinion? If they’re making a product, but no one is willing to pay them, how is that censorship? If they’re posting an opinion, how is it censorship when it is still available to be viewed in its entirety and without restriction on viewing access? Is the guy ranting on the town…

No, it’s not. What YT is doing is pretty much “if you want to keep doing controversial topics, then ask someone else to pay you because the ad companies won’t”. Just go through Patreon. If a channel is truly popular and fans are willing to pay for it (like, say, Jim Sterling’s), then it wouldn’t make a difference. The…

That is far from the definition of “censorship”.
