DBWI:Anime to be banned

Meh; anyone who's making too much noise about it is being put down for 'questioning the will of God' or something. We must remember that the majority of the American populance will do pretty much anything their government says if it conforms to their fundie values. But then again, there is a lot of noise being made in Japan...

See, that's the sad part. Isn't there anyone over there trying to work to change the situation - particularly the censorship regulations which have done far more to cripple the development of American film and television programming than anything else? At least here in Puerto Rico, we don't have to put up with the same type of issue (partly because of that brief period of US occupation - after all, a lot of American concepts, such as the right of free speech and assembly, are still practiced in Puerto Rico), which is probably we have a significant American expat community in Puerto Rico and in Cuba (though at least in Puerto Rico, we don't have to deal with the corruption problems that have plagued Cuba).

The funny thing about the idea of airing a novela on current affairs on a Cuban/Puerto Rican TV network is that since Cuba is only 90 miles away from Florida, if one boosts transmitter power on the Havana station enough, it would be possible to pick up a signal in, say, Miami, if not Key West. (One of the reasons why Cuba and Puerto Rico share some of the same TV networks, fortunately.) And the best thing about it - an episode can be produced and ready to go on the air in four days!

So yeah, we'll see how far this "noise" goes (since there is some outrage here in Puerto Rico over the situation as well, including the fundie churches here who have denounced the US).

There are some people, but they're put down by the government for 'acting against the will of God'. Remember, many Americans probably haven't even watched anime, and will just applaud what the goverment says, especially if the clergy approves it. Which they do.

Yeah, that's sad. :( The decline of American democracy as we know it. Again, good thing Puerto Rico got its independence when we did - we certainly wouldn't want to have gotten involved in that mess.

Now, if you excuse me, there's a novela called Quando el Rey Nimrod about the last days of al-Andalus that's coming on right now.
 
The American officials aren't stupid enough to listen to the people by banning anime or any other insignificant things, anyway. Why would they? They bring money so that's good for the government. They could care less. And with Obama as president, it's even less likely.

What? You do know that this is a DBWI, right? As in we're roleplaying, i.e. pretending? If you mean that this wouldn't happen in real life, then duh. America isn't totally fundie. Yet.

OOC: Oh gosh, I dont' know if this topic was created to satirize anime fans who whine about being persecuted or to affirm their beliefs. But I'll roll.

IC: Eh, I don't think this legislation will impact that much. Older audiences who are used to their respective series will go to the Internet. Younger kids who watch it on TV won't really complain that much since as noted American companies are filling some of the gap, with a lot of Chinese and Korean knock-offs coming in. In fact, since Korea is pretty much THE animation and coloring hub for the world, the Korean industry is already switching some gears to work with US producers to create material for the US.

This could actually be a kick in the pants for the Chinese animation industry, since the CCP has already been signaling a preference for domestic shows that are more kid friendly.

Banning anime is like banning porn in the way that it's irreversibly infected the Internet already. Well they banned porn ages ago, didn't they? Look how effective that was.

OOC: I understand that not all anime is porn. Some anime is actually decent.
 
Wait, i know how to save this. The Christian cartoons Superbook and In the Beginning are both anime! Therefore if anime is banned, so are the Christian cartoons!
