What are your thoughts on this?

this is General sir, not News.


Cant even read the article without vpn, but yeah, deciding to ban/expelled something without a proper explaination is stupid, And banning a manga based on their looks or without reading it first is more even stupider.

Seems that Connie Bonaros has good taste in manga and don't want trashes to be published in her country. Good for her.

So I guess Down Under they deal with 'Connies' instead of 'Karens'.

They're also the one that ban adult with small breast in 3D porn too right?

Here's another article

She said she wanted to help Japanese activists who believed pressure from other countries would help their cause.
"They need external pressure — they need their politicians to understand that the rest of the world doesn't look at this material through the same lens that they do," Ms Bonaros said.
"There is a lot of pressure being applied at the moment in Japan, but it is being done very discreetly, so what they've told me is the more help they can get from external countries, the more hope they have of making some inroads in terms of ensuring that their child exploitation laws are stronger."

This is a rare case when I'm grateful for capitalism and yakuza who own Japanese publishers. No way they give a shit about some gaijin twitter harpy and her holy crusade.

I think it's a little worrying, to be honest. What's going on in Australia isn't surprising, but big American companies like Amazon are starting to take notice of anime as well. So my question is, will this become a far bigger controversy, and get into mainstream news? And, if so , What would be the final goalpost of these puritans. Western moral standards have shifted quite a bit these past ten years, and a lot of anime/manga/light novels haven't gone with them. If western countries start to hold Japanese media up to their standards, then basically nothing would be released outside of Japan

"Cancel culture isn't real, it is just shit manga getting what they deserve."

It's not the "Western countries' Standards" just the woke dipshits going more and more insane by the day.

Get woke, go broke, big joke.

First they came for Aunt Jemima - and I did not speak out, for I did not mind what my syrup's name was.

Then they came for To Kill A Mockingbird - and I did not speak out, for I did not know how to read.

Finally, they came for the loli imoutos - and there was no one left to speak for me.

Now, I'm not saying @bigtiddyoneesan dreams of being a flat-chested loli, but there is a strange inconsistency going on here.

Without the loli imouto, there is no big tiddy onee-san. It's just like yin and yang.

So...split personality disorder? Is that why your alt @2252020 exists?

 

[BlackGeneral]

The plot thicken.

Look at this post, he definitively has split personality.

@2252020 was a(n unfortunately) failed experiment. You can tell by the username; 2252020 means there were 2252019 failed experiments that came before. It doesn't mean the date I created it on. That would just be silly.

@AfricanAmericanGeneral

Look at this post, he definitively has split personality.

That was merely an introduction post. First impressions are important you know. And even if I embellished by uwu randomness by a little, I still think that people who see that post will think "hey, I kinda wanna be friends with this guy, he's pretty cool! "

@BlackGeneral reported for spam. I expect better from you.
