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.
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.
When Facebook and Twitter barred Donald J. Trump from their platforms after the Capitol riot in January, he lost direct access to his most powerful megaphones. On Friday, Facebook said the former president would not be allowed back on its service until at least January 2023, citing a risk to public safety.
While president of the United States, Donald Trump threatened to shut down all U.S. operations of the social media platform TikTok because he viewed the app as a national security threat.
Inuyashiki depicts reactions from various political figures, including Trump.
In recent weeks, the United Nations has been making moves to propose the banning of Japanese media that depicts sexual violence toward women, the specific media in question being that of manga, anime and videogames.
In the United States, federal law provides that it is illegal to create, possess, or distribute a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture or painting, that depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and is obscene. However, visual depictions (CGI, anime, etc.)
No. They can be considered illegal too. The reality is that there is a large library, of easily available Images, commercially produced, manga or manga-type, anime cartoon images which depict images prohibited by English law.
To give you an example of what I mean, take a look at this quote from debate.com:
The anime industry is still in its startup phase, and has a long way to go in terms of profits and stability.
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.
Devilman Crybaby. Another anime showing how the president would react to disasters, Devilman Crybaby 's brief cameo from Trump presents him struggling to hide from reporters during the raging wrath of Koda's Devilman, sent throughout the world thanks to the intricate plans of Satan himself -- Ryo.
Even before his election, he had been a magnet for criticism because of his controversial statements, volatile personality and failed business ventures. Upon becoming president, the controversies around him were projected into the world theater, which meant countries that previously had little reason to care what Trump said now had to listen to him.
Golgo 13. Anime has been parodying Trump long before he became president. Golgo 13 did not feature Trump as we know him, but rather the womanizing, cheating businessman Ronald Crump. He might not be Trump as president, but rather seems to be a direct reference to his reputation as a businessman.
Death Note. Trump does not appear in the original Death Note series, but he made a surprising significant appearance in the one-shot sequel manga, Never Complete. He is one of the many world leaders who bids on the Death Note when Minoru Tanaka starts auctioning off the book.
Of course, Donald Zurump is not really a direct parody of the President, but rather series regular Katsura Kotarou wearing a fake mustache, being elected under the premise of rebuilding the country in a new, productive manner. "Zurump" is targeted by multiple assassins, supposedly dying in an explosion.
The anime does not take a favorable perspective on the president, showing him thinking only of himself by saying, on national television, that he's lived long enough and the rest of "you losers can do whatever the hell you want.".
Baki the Grappler. Trump does not appear in Baki the Grappler. However, President-Elect Tramp is an obvious parody in the manga. Baki the Grappler often features new presidents of the United States put in humiliating positions after meeting the champion American fighter Yujiro Hanma.
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?.
last month it was back to back articles about investigation into underage sex trafficking, with all kinds of receipts and video evidence, and one of the "handler" creeps pleading guilty.
CC used to be available on many YouTube channels (like https://youtu.be/fejFRfsPED8 ) but recently, the same channels do not have CC (like https://youtu.be/3EK6UIMvakc ). I really appreciate CC due to hearing difficulties. What lead to the change in CC availability?
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.
So yesterday I got followed by an account called u/follow__me (with two underscores) which I blocked, and today I got followed by a different one called u/follow___me (with three underscores).
I know what Hermitcraft is, and I somewhat know who GenerikB is (Ex member of the Mindcrack who left alongside people like Etho, Doc, Bdubs. Also the founded of Hermitcraft before he left).
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. So, due to its eerie similarities with the 9/11 incident, the American audience considered the episode unpleasant.
Shoujo Tsubaki was not just banned in America but also worldwide, including in Japan. Here's why - the anime movie can be called one of the most horrifying, depressing, and disturbing anime ever made. The intense storyline revolves around a young girl, Midori, who loses her mother. From then on, her life only went darker and harder.
Picture this: you are casually walking down the streets, minding your own business. But suddenly, you get hit but a kid wielding a golden bat. The kid runs away on his rollerblades, and you get angry but can't do anything about it, so you go about your way. But then, it turns out you weren't the only victim of that golden bat.
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. Two agents are deployed to ensure that the treaty succeeds and maintains peace. It has a dark plot where the female lead is sullied, and the male main character comes to her rescue.
Lily cat was deemed unfit for children in the United States. The movie revolves around astronauts floating across space in a ship that only aged them one year in 20 years. Suddenly, the ship is attacked by a shape-shifting alien species, and the astronauts and the alien are locked in a deadly survival match.
