Today, Congress passed a bill to ban Japanese animation in the United States, deeming it 'ungodly, contrary to western, Christian values, and corrupting', with the Secretary for Morality citing 'incest, promiscuity, lesbianism, and other acts deemed unholy by the Lord' in various anime. He also claimed that 'it comes from a culture polarized next to ours, and therefore is simply not compatible with our Christian culture'.
Frankly, I think this is ludicrous. Any comments?
OOC:To clarify, this is in a TL where the US is dominated by fundies. A semi-dystopia, then.
Here, in Puerto Rico, I just have to laugh my arse off. It reminds me of a time when the Puerto Rico tried to ban novelas, but that really didn't last long - they were just too damn popular. And most of the content of the novelas were innocent! OK, so there is some kissing and partial nudity in them - so what? Though I hear that the US is going to start importing Puerto Rican English-language cartoons to make up for the lost animé - which could only make me chuckle (though the style of them is just pure art, IMO). Ah, the joys of living in a bilingual country.
