| Female anime characters shown on Iranian television must now wear a hijab, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ruled. Khamenei said that whilst it is not necessary for the women in cartoons and anime films to have their hair covered, it is 'required' because of the consequences of not wearing a hijab. Political activists in Iran have condemned the move as 'toxic', arguing that those in power are 'obsessed with the hair of female anything'.  source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9290011/Female-cartoon-characters-Iranian-TV-wear-hijab-Ayatollah-rules.html |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| this was already busted, the speech is out of context |
    |
| So... will Iran now make their own cartoons? Wait, does islam even allow cartoons? |
| Personal opinion, if this is the case then it is a lot of work for the studio to do a Hijab for all female characters. What do you think, is it for or against? |
| "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| I never even knew anime was allowed in Iran. Lmao |
 |
| Ok thanks for sharing character limits are gay |

I agree though many sources not just DailyMail have mentioned the similar. "must now wear a hijab" |
| "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| Sorry I’m not trying to disrespect Iran but I really can’t imagine the female characters from Ishuzoku Reviewers wearing a hijab |
Nina supporter for life💕 |
| Why?? I mean why?? Its a unnecessary thing |
 |
| Well then no more anime for Iran? I don't get why this is a big deal, as if it has any bearing on anime in Japan or the west. Frankly I'm even surprised they had anime in Iran in the first place. |

| Wait, the girl on the photo. Is that Sumi? |

As a muslim (I'm not sure but nevermind...) I think the answer is yes Islam allowes. Iran is a weird country. Their opinion in Islam is waaay different than others. But I wonder how it looks on anime girls. Wow hijabi anime girls. I never thought something like that. Iran is making things worse and better at the same time :D Edit 1 : Source is questionable btw. :D |

I guess that's true, apparently Iranian sharia law contradicts a lot of the traditional interpretations. Turkey doesn't have sharia law in general, so I guess things are much easier there. |

To answer your question, Islam doesn't allow you to draw human faces. But you can draw anything else. It is not a sharp point. Some muslim wises are saying drawing is OK but you can not draw or illustrate faces and parts of angels, prophets and holy people or things... To me, saying saying something like "drawing faces is not OK in Islam" is just ridiculous. What about photos or movies then? Photos are OK in Islam, why drawing is not? The purpose of not allowing drawing of the prophets' faces is not to deify them. So drawing faces of normal people is OK. It may be differ in other sects of Islam but rationally It "should" be OK. |

LSSJ_Gaming said: I could be exceuted just because of my sexuality which is fucking stupid. Yeah It is stupid but it is not about Islam. People just thinking "Islam is a terror religion or a reactionary move" but It is not true. The reactionary moves are causing by countries and their politicans. That is what makes me mad. At the end of the day I'm muslim and I don't think I'm a terrorist or something like that. I'm just a rational people which believes in Allah. |

The purpose of not allowing drawing of the prophets' faces is not to deify them. So drawing faces of normal people is OK. It may be differ in other sects of Islam but rationally It "should" be OK. What's your point? I don't make the rules. I'm just stating them. Whether or not you believe is up to you. I did not said you made the rules :D I said some wises and sect imams are saying it is OK. So rules are not sharp at this point. I'm just saying it is not an certain rule of Islam. Some imams are saying "It is OK" and others not. You can not cut that off and say "Islam does not allow that" at this point. Instead it is much better to say "It is not a sharp point but some weak hadith sources state that it is forbidden." Summary, I explained the aim of this rule two messages ago. So some imams says right now drawing faces should be OK. (Because the aim is not here right now.) Edit 1: I don't want to misdirect people. After some research and messaging I saw there is some hadiths about pictures. Islamic scholars and our prophet have a negative view of the pictures of living beings due to the possibility of worshiping and revering. (This is the solid part of it. After this sentence is just a interpretation of me and Directorate of Religious Affairs of Turkey.) But the aim is there: "due to the possibility of worshiping and revering". So Directorate of Religious Affairs of Turkey clarfied it with this quote: "There is no objection to painting or selling photographs/pictures of living creatures, provided that they do not have a purpose such as worship and dignity, do not contain obscenity and do not violate general moral rules." I think this is rational. But, It is up to you at the end of day like all other things :D It might be a little bit off-topic but I did want to explain it. Thanks for your understanding. :D |

| I think I need to explain to my dear friends who are confused about this issue. This statement of the Iranian leader is related to Iranian-made animations. Prior to this, Iranian-made animations paid less attention to the issue of hijab (especially with the Rouhani government, which made the most animations with the least hijab). Currently, I live in Iran, in Mazandaran province, and there are many foreign animations or films that are broadcast without any problems in the Broadcasting Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Do not misunderstand. Before, even very good anime has been produced in Iran. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Fiction |
Dauphine said: Not this shit again....sigh. Why would it even matter? It's not like it would have any influence on anime outside Iran, and even if you were from Iran, this problem can be quickly remedied by sailing the seven seas instead of watching it on TV or any localized services. >so many things over the past decade that are literally not censorship MAL: "OMG SJWS RUINING ANIME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" >literal, actual censorship with blaring red lights and sirens MAL: "it's not like this actually matters it's only iran lol" |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| that anime's story itself is forbiddens action to Islam and them, putting hijab to the characters is making it much worse |
 |
| The title of the thread made me laugh out loudXD. Jokes aside, it's really sad to see a whole gender's rights being repressed in such countries. |
