Keeping that in mind, if a group of people decide to ban anime, that would imply anime is a threat to similar companies in the entertainment industry. And that doesn’t necessarily mean anime will be banned. Even if it has some challenges. No matter how you look at it, the result is the same.
Enough that there are ONLINE PETITIONS that have been created to ban anime. Mostly by idiots who are misinformed, politically correct social justice warriors who have NO idea what they’re talking about. Almost 2000 people signed the petition, asking Trump to ban anime.
“ Anime was invented by the Japanese to control the minds of young American children. The mind control starts at a young age with studio Ghibli movies. Studio Ghibli is the worst because they made a anime children movie about rape. ABOUT RAPE! Have you ever wondered why school shooters are socially awkward.
To give you an example of what I mean, take a look at this quote from debate.com:

Anime is a big part of the entertainment business. And even though “haters” won’t admit it, it’s a big deal with plenty of influence.
Admittedly I really don't follow Sweden's politics, so am not well versed in its current political climate, but after hearing from an annoucement that Dota 2's The International 10 (the annual global world championship) which was planned to occur in Stockholm has been screwed over by "the current political situation in Sweden", I did a brief google search and apparently the current minority government's leader has had to step down from a successful Vote Of No Confidence for the first time in political history?.

I keep seeing comments on youtube news videos (specifically about housing), with bunch of comments are saying "you'll own nothing and be happy". When I googled it, only found a short video by World economic forum with that text in it (not sure what the context was). I still don't understand what it means.
First, I need to say that I'm not an American. I follow the US news from time to time, particularly during big events, such as the elections.

The first episode of Transformers: Robots in Disguise was pulled from circulation in North America. The reason? It showed Optimus Prime crashing into a skyscraper, which was quite similar to World Trade Center in America.

Shoujo Tsubaki was not just banned in America but also worldwide, including in Japan.

The last episode of Excel Saga, "Going Too Far," went too far with the graphic violence and nudity. It was banned everywhere because of the obscenity it showed. Interestingly, the show's creators said they wanted the episode to be banned on TV. It exceeded 3 mins from the designated timeslot to be aired on national television, anyway.
Another movie with themes like horror, sexual abuse, and violence is Wicked City. The anime dabbles with a concept of a demonic world co-existing with the human one.
