INTEREST: LaLaport Numazu Removes 'Sexualizing' Panel of Love Live! Sunshine!!'s Chika

That's the bullstuff "slippery slope" argument that's based on the bogus assertion that people are routinely offended by something benign. There's nothing benign about sexualizing underage women. Nothing.

Let me repeat that so we're clear: You're defending something that a large number of people feel is repugnant. You're not a majority being repressed by a minority.

A lot of people seem to think it's about how short the skirt is or something but the issue is with how the skirt was literally looking like it was being pushed into the crotch. It's not abnormal for LL art though, but I think it probably got more attention since Chika's voice actress was literally standing next to the art so it made the weird skirt suction even more evident.

I like how people are citing Change.org petitions and Twitter like counts as legitimate backing to their position. Like, really? You think there are teeming masses of ordinary Japanese citizens standing up for the right to publicly highlight fictional teenage girl crotch?

Yes, because that's totally not what people condemning the image are citing as evidence to back their position as well.

You could have just said "I have no rebuttal to any of these arguments" and it would have gotten the point across much quicker. This all started on Twitter, so it is completely fair to point to Twitter interaction to see which side has more support.

You do not seem to understand. The original complaints against the poster were made on LaLaport's official twitter, so pointing out that the counter-reaction, ie in favor of the poster, has more support on twitter is a perfectly valid thing to do, even without the change.org thing...

Also, Nishiura Mikan(the orange company) has themselves stated Takami Chika, the Love Live! girl on the poster, will remain ambassador for the brand, and keeping in mind the poster is still displayed in many other establishments, shows the parties involved themselves have shown push-back against the original complaints. We may yet see the poster back at LaLaport Numazu...
