Fucking Ken Akamatsu (mangaka of Love Hina and Negima) has been elected to the Japanese parliament, running on a platform of freedom of expression in subculture.
Are we standing in front of a new golden age of anime and manga where Japan will throw away their ancient prudish sentiments? Imagine the shit we'd get if they got rid of their ridiculous censorship laws.
That's unironically based.
A cropped Twitter screenshot is still a Twitter screenshot, and culture war shit you agree with is still culture war shit.
Censorship bullshit from when America occupied Japan isn't culture war shit, user.
>I'm going to dismiss threats to a thing I care about enough to hang around on a discussion board for as "culture war"
There are multiple other image boards made primarily to fit what you want Any Forums to be, why can't you people all fuck off to them and let the adults actually discuss anime and manga
>inb4 he goes ballistic with IP law
Nice, hopefully he actually keeps to his platform.
>when
still do
What prudish sentiment? We are talking about a country where you can physically publish bestiality loli rape porn without problems.
>without problems
>running on a platform of freedom of expression in subculture.
We must remove the Tokyo Law.
>Being this mad
I think mods have being deleting Ken Akamatsu threads.
literally who fucking cares faggot? How pathetic of an individual do you have to be to cry about a picture online.
No shit.
Y E S
Based. Is there any chance of him uncensoring hentai?
Yes.
Though he's most likely gonna be the guy who gets the ball rolling.
I wouldn't trust the future of anime & manga to the same person who made Negima and UQ Holder
fuck you ken
Ignoring culture wars is a great way for this board to turn into Any Forums.
As long as it happens someday. I want my own child to enjoy hentai without black lines, mosaics, and glowing white genitals
So do I.
We must fight for a future where our sons can spank their sausages to scores of uncensored, high-quality hentai straight from the source, and where our daughters can flick their beans to loads of uncensored BL with graphics buttfucking.
Any Forums is not your personal army for your retarded crusades with retards on other sites. Fuck off.
They won't decensor porn. Not even drawn.
They won't lower the age of consent (in porn) to 18.
Not anime related by the by.
Just stop censoring pussy, that's all I want. Even porn censorship could stay.
the alphabet gang are so fucking mad over this win, lmao
One MP - who by the way belongs to the fairly conservative LDP party - isn't going to change anything.
Good.
>nooooo black bar scary
Censorship sucks I know, but some black bars and blurry parts aren't that big of a deal
Akamatsu specifically spoke out against american influence leading to censorship.
>Japanese people vote for change and people who advocate against censorship
>THIS DOESNT CHANGE ANYTHING, YOU CANT DO ANYTHING
You can just appreciate the fact that he did what he believes in and they voted him. That's more than the average americuck does nowadays voting only literal whos who bring down those industries with 0 knowledge or convictions of what to do
I think they're a pretty big deal.
>fairly conservative LDP party
LDP doesn't have a coherent set of values or an ideology. It's a catch-all big tent type of party. The reason he went as an LDP candidate was because the party is the largest in Japan and it has pro-censorship politicians. He hopes he could influence the policy making regarding manga and anime.
Half of them look like dogshit when uncensored though. They are used to drawing with the genitalia censored, so they put all their talents into making the girls look hotter instead.
