Seems America's Sexphoibia is spreading also can we all say virtue signalling cause at the end of the day that's all it is. Nothing but a bunch of idiots trying to make them selves look and feel good when they have nothing to really feel good about.

I still don't see the problem. lol I can only imagine the complaints if that person read the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.


Like Stuart Smith said above, pretty sure the concept of a city being bombed is still a bit of a sensitive subject in Japan.

Yay it's time for the monthly weebs get angry at the BPO for publishing a viewer complaint about anime thread.

I know, right? Guys, the complaints are hilarious, and they don't really affect programming. Can anyone think of any instances in which a show was censored as a direct result of BPO complaints? I can't (doesn't mean there aren't any, but it's certainly not common.


How do you know? Who's going to say they alter their work because of complaints like this, because they're afraid of the notice? They're not going to publish that.

It's the chilling effect that's the biggest concern, people self-censoring what they might have written and given us but instead tempering their vision to churn out something that's acceptable because the last thing Japanese publishers want is to raise anyone's hackles. That's why groups like this are a menace to free speech everywhere.

Alright, 1 or 2 of you need to stop the soap boxing. You can certainly not enjoy such shows but other people do and people can have differing opinions without automatically being "wrong" or immoral or whatever else. So let's tone down the net rage and drop the soapboxing please. Thanks.
