NEWS: Tokyo's Youth Healthy Development Council Looks at Yosuga no Sora

You know, it's sad that there are so many people willing to embrace incest with open arms that those few who oppose such licentious perversions, like Dandelion and myself, are looked at as wierdos.


It's also extremely aggravating that these people feel as if they have an obligation to "correct" me on my supposed "ignorance".

Hey, I like ecchi and moe too, but not all the time. And I certainly can agree that giant robots are badass as hell (Gurren Lagann will forever be the greatest anime of all time to me).

You know, it's sad that there are so many people willing to embrace incest with open arms that those few who oppose such licentious perversions, like Dandelion and myself, are looked at as wierdos.

It's also highly aggravating that these same people also believe that just because I am perfectly fine with homosexuality (being bi myself), I also have to be perfecty fine with flat-out fornication.

^ I agree with this whole heartedly.

You and Soundmonkey44 in particular also seem to frequently lose touch with the context of this discussion thread, which is about a government panel given the authority to censor cartoons. Oh yeah, there are a couple of people who've gone there and said something about the real world legal status of incest, but that's not what this thread is really about. Like I told Soundmonkey44 a week ago: I don't want you guys to be the executive gatekeepers of what I get to watch and read.

Dandelion_rose on the other hand seems to me to have a much deeper respect for the difference between the troubling dynamics of real world incest cases and fictional cartoons. If you feel treated like a weirdo, it's because you're complaining about this stuff in the context of censoring things. You're probably feeling the same thing that the parents who tried to get Harry Potter banned from their children's school libraries felt when their communities refused to let them do so.

See I rather dislike generalizations like this, comparing a bunch of jerky soccer moms trying to ban Harry Potter because they think "Magic iz evils" and comparing it to this, well, it just seems a bit silly.

That's strange. As a matter of fact I was just talking to a jerky soccer mom and SHE was telling me how silly it is to compare laws about "nonexistant youths" to something as serious as Harry Potter's seekrit occult satanism.

You don't get a pass because you're not a soccer mom. There's no two ways about it: You're doing the exact same jerky moral guardian shit she's doing. You have your political football of choice, and you're trying to force your opinion on everybody else by dicking around with the entertainment industry's creative freedom.

Stop it already. If you're against content that glorifies such acts, be a grown-up and don't watch it. Don't be an asshat and take the choice away from me and tell me what's offensive and what I can't watch.

I love how someone being against something means they are "Forcing it down others throats" yet the opposite stance isn't, ahh gotta love human hypocrisy.

But hey think what ever yea want to think man.

Would I like to see media like this be minimized, heck yes. Do I think the stuff like this is garbage, yep. Do I think me being against it is going to make people stop watching it or making it, nope.

Edit: @Bandan: Yeah, insulting someones intelligence because their views are different then yours is a real mature thing to do. And yes I'M the weird one.

"Media like this be minimized" because you have a problem with it is just an evasive, weaselly way of saying that you'd like to take the decision out of the creative people's hands. Whether "you being against it is going to make that happen" is, bless his noodly appendage, absolutely irrelevant.

I can only reply to what you give me kiddo, and your logic is so tortured, you're asking somebody to call you a moron. You just threw out the most bizarre accusation of hypocrisy I've ever seen, because you want to "minimize" things and I don't, which to you makes them proportionally equivalent attitudes I guess.

Say something intelligent and I'll be the first one to give you credit for it. So far you've failed to deliver.
