A lot of Texas supports a child rapist so a lot of their morals are fucked anyway

Censorship by the anti censorship party, who'd have thunk it?

I still wonder how thry live with that much freedom. I don't think i could handle it.

Doesn’t this mean American animation like South Park and Family Guy will also be on the chopping block? I remember an episode of South Park where Ike sleeps with his kindergarten teacher.

There's also the episodes with the "raisins" restaurant which is basically child hooters.

Don't forget the dicks out for Harambe episode, I'm surprised that one aired.

Texas and intelligence never went hand in hand. They don't even allow women to have an abortion even if it was because of rape or if it would kill the host.

Man, I have no good words for this state.

DND summons devils ahh sentiment

I'm wondering what anime they're actually talking about? Redo of Healer? Nukitashi? There's certainly some "provocative" anime out there. For everything else (and even those) there are age ratings.

Bad enough animation awards just go to Disney by default even when their stories are plagiarized and their movies are forgotten the next year when the next one comes out. Okay, Frozen stayed around for a few years but most are soon forgotten.

I'm glad Sony Animation is starting to get credit (Spider-Verse, KPop Demon Hunters) but it's still "safe" animation.

I'm wondering what anime they're actually talking about?

It will be whatever some Christian lobbyist group complains about. Given the state of Texas, that will largely be anything with LGBT themes.

"what if the church was the villain?" Common anime trope attacks their delicate fee-fees.

Despite their general disdain for every other flavor of Christianity and outright hatred for other even abrahamic religions.

While SB20 was originally passed with bipartisan support to fight AI-generated child exploitation, its vague and sweeping language is now the primary cause for concern. The bill's author, Republican Sen. Pete Flores, stated that his intent was to send a "clear message" to child predators.

Seems the intention was good but they used language that was overly broad and they clearly did not know enough about anime to be able to use the proper wording when writing the law.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 3 days ago

The intent is never good if they use overly broad terms to remove peoples access to this world in a capacity. Using a smokescreen of a "good" aspect has never been so transparent.

They have been demanding their censorship laws they are just finding what buzzword works to open the door.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Huh. Never would have thought I'd see a Republican reprimand a another Republican.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I don't know if that's the case, this is only what I read in the article. It's certainly possible politicians are fighting among themselves, it happens all the time. Though I am doubtful they would fight about anime, that seems very unlikely.

Aw did Attack on Titan hit a nerve? Did they figure your bullshit and educate others?

[–] Nightlight17776@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah Goku's muscles always were too sexy. I'm glad they are going to start blurring them

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago

Is it "degenerate art"?

[–] anonymous_in_atl@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

Of course its Texas.
