Weird how people seem so focused on Russia, not the report itself. This kind of thinking is everywhere. BBC thinks anime causes pedophilia, Americans think anime causes sexism, violence, and Nazism. Every country has ignorant people.

Not sure what is so "russian propagandic" about this post - it's just another one of the many Roskomnadzor's idiocies. Every country has their share of idiots in government, and by listening to all that crazy bullshit they are screaming is just harmful for your sanity. It's not like there will be any real consequences to these statements.

Things are highly specific to the individual, a case of correlation.

It's the Russian version of Japan's "Anime causes pedophilia and hikkikomori!", only more creative in the distinct Russian style. A country that has never embraced subtlety. But then, Russia and Japan have never been able to agree on anything, let alone Why Anime Must Be Socially Cleansed For the Public Good. |

Hey world, you want a 1990s styled throwback of societal rebellion through popular media and expression? Because this way of thinking that x specifically causes y fuels that kind societal rebellion. Keep your ignorant in check. Where I am going with this is that the cause usually always is right in the corner of the accusers and their domains. Russia, while with pride and great people, is not exactly a place that I've heard that inspires its people with its economic infrastructure, and especially for its youth. |

o.0 Did you not scroll to the bottom of the article and see the links to the official sources for the information? Or are you, like so many in this thread, just clueless and/or trolling?
It's not at all weird for people to focused on Russia - because this is an employee of a state sponsored organization making a statement on state sponsored media. This places an official imprimatur on the report that the BBC and random Americans do not. In the same vein (reply to others), this is not anti-Russian propaganda. |

Hey, immortal characters who want to die but can't is one of my favorite tropes!
But the first few characters who come to mind--besides Anne Rice vampire types--are actually from American comics, namely Mr. Immortal from Marvel's Great Lakes Avengers (it's his whole shtick) and Deadpool. |

Here you go.
I don't see the harm in posting the article. Like you said, it raises some red flags like crediting the US and China, among others, so I would look askance on anyone who took this as proof of their views on anime. It would only make them seem silly or grasping at straws. That anecdote seems pretty fishy to me too.

I sure hope you're not as serious as the guy that offered up this nonsensical take cause hardly anyone in his home country is going to take him seriously let alone anyone outside of it. People in Russia have far more pressing concerns then some idiot who thinks anime is a public health concern.
What?
Kind of hard to retcon something that was never fully established. And if someone did do that over that plot development that'd be equally stupid. |

ANN isn’t the one at fault here for posting this article. If you think this article will give idiots wrong ideas about anime, then it is the problem of the immaturity of those individuals who are stupid enough to believe those non-sensical Russian statements are real. And also the parents and the system that raised them to be so ignorant.

I think this is a Russian propaganda machine at work with usual false narrative. Its role is trying to rile up people with outrageous/false claim and thus hoping to lead to a meaningless divisive political shouting match.
Luckily fans here are knowledgeable enough to distinguish the difference between legitimate claim versus false narrative on popular media of Anime and Manga, but the shouting match has almost started because the propaganda pushed socially-sensitive issue of child suicide claim on what fans care about. Since media is a reflection of society, it's not surprising to see foreign entity like Russia using propaganda to push their agenda on media. Anime & manga is just as vulnerable to influences as other media. |
