hmmm it's been awhile, huh? anywho. While browsing this morning I came across the most offensive article concerning anime that I have ever read. I think my fellow otakus should take a gander at it too. Entitled "Anime Encourages Murder."
Wow! A When They Cry manga scan! I can't wait for it to come out! The fact this person even knows of that anime must mean they know things about it them self, to be honest I didn't read the whole article but it seems like a bunch of crap to me. The fact this probably started with that whole stupid Wallstreet Article(which is kinda in my blog, check it out if you wish), really makes me mad. And I doubt this is a political thing, I know of a website about otaku's who are hardline fans and conservative as well so I guess this is probably a progressive vs. regressive xenophobic mind-set that would only make those so far from the right they could turn left happy.
Who bit their arse? So anime is now been made the 21st Century equivelant of what Video Nasties were in the 1980's. I have "The Boxset of the Banned" which is six films which were considered unviewable at that time. The boxset also comes with a two part documentary showing the frenzy that was whipped up over these films, all of which I've seen and not one did I think was "unfit for the viewing adult public". Whoever wrote this article has no idea of what they are talking about. As adults do we not have the right to choose what we watch? This is just another case of living in the Nanny State.
"Your child could become an otaku, a furry and even a murderer if not a sexual deviant. Don’t let it happen to you"
hahahaha...this makes being an otaku sound like a disease "i'm sorry madam but your son has a case of the otaku"..."nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" "you may see symptoms of excesive japanese animation, or 'japanimation' or anime watching of the illegal nature such as fansubs, your child may pick up certain words in a foreign language which he could use without your knowledge!"..."is there a cure?"..."sadly not, i'm afraid your son is eventually going to hack you to death with an axe whilst you sleep and possibly turn into a crazed sex fiend through the viewing of hentai or even pokemon..."
This article is pathetic, it seems to me like they make it out to be a disease and we have no self control over our own actions, it's the exact same case as games *sigh*...now where's my axe *eye twitches*
Cool! He just said that Pokemon and speedracer contained hentai elements before it was cleaned up and aired in the US. I didn't know that....i wonder if Ash gets a little bit to personal with Pikachu o_O'.
It is also great fun how he manages to write of some major religions as inferiour to christianity (and you wonder why they are pissed) in just one sentence. This was only in the first part of the article and the rest doesn't get any better.

That blogger is amazingly ignorant. I bet they think masturbation produces babies. *sighs*
