| Kind of a shame limiting money to the anime industry by woke boomer politicians. Since most anime girls are less than 18, I wonder how far they will go to enforce such a rule. |
 |
| It's impossible to ban anything when the internet exists. You can even get working 3d printed firearms neatly packaged in a torrent so inappropriate anime won't be that hard to get. |

| is this gonna be like those times they "banned" anime, "banned" lolis, and "banned" piracy? |

Dauphine said: Oh....so it's not about anime as a whole, then it doesn't affect me at all since i don't watch those types of anime or care about them to begin with. hmm, is that so? Cuz iirc, the little girl from Tegamibachi has this quirk of running around with no pants on. |
 |
| So dumb...why do people waste time trying to force these kinda policies onto fictional characters? Who cares about the rights of drawings? Don't they have more important shit to worry about... |
| Did the UK BRENTER after BREXITing? Also I checked and I'm highly skeptical on how will this pan out. Doesn't seem much different than the previous dozens of times random governative enterprises tried to ban lolis, this time it isn't even the primary goal of the regulation. |
Alphonae said: Any thoughts? Thoughts? Yes, I have thoughts, but I’ll make it easy for you. You wanna know what that is?… |
 |
| These are my thoughts, don't read to much in to them. |
 |
| Yeah, it's not like this has been tried countless times before and always failed to get off the ground or anything. I wouldn't put too much stock in this just yet, OP. |
| More ecchi anime with 18 yo girls like Keijo!!!!!!!! instead of high schoolers? I'm all against censorship, but in this case I wouldn't mind actually |
| Anime is a very expensive hobby anyway, even in America. My big Virgo friend got ripped off by Aniplex and spent a lot of money on physical media anime-wise. She even paid several streaming services for anime. Yes, that means Funiroll. For the record, only children's anime get proper ADR or Greek dubbing in well Greece. Says a Greek. Netflix barely even features anime there too. A German babe once told me not too long ago that most anime don't get proper licensing in her country either. So everyone in central Europe is forced to use whatever English anime streaming sites that they could find. Future Macross movies are coming to Europe, sure! But anime will remain a niche form of entertainment. Like someone said, ecchi anime are very stale. Besides, I'm not into waifu bait, isekai or generic battle shounen. The most enthralled genres in America. |
| I don't care, the internet is so vast, I once went to an anime pirate site and it was such a beautiful scenery |

| Anime almost don't exist (in legal way) at Poland so lmao, it will most likely have no effect as we're the black sheep of Union and very often says No and almost get hit with serious consequences for being stubborn like polish (just type "free lgbt zone" in google so you'll know how far extreme my lovely country is), the only bad news for us are in the east since decades so we don't focus that much on the other stuff coming from West. |
| "Tech companies would be compelled to set up new policies and procedures to remove flagged hate speech, terrorist propaganda and other material defined as illegal by countries within the European Union." Oh nooo, they will ban Masha And The Bear for indoctrinating hatred against little girls, wolfs, rabbits...and practically all living things except bears. |
| In the first place, that's not even what the law is about...secondly, as always, every EU country can decide themselves how exactly they want to implement EU law into their national laws, so just because something is illegal in France doesn't mean it's illegal anywhere else (and UK isn't part of the EU anymore btw). Literally nothing will change, and if it did, people would just do what 95% of anime fans already do anyways and watch stuff on sites that don't give a damn about laws in general. I don't necessarily condone that, but I've always been in a tiny minority regarding that. That said, I'd personally be very happy if ecchi ceased to exist. It has always been a blight upon anime and I'd enjoy it so much more if it was gone :P |

Just because you don't like, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. K thanks bye. You're right about 'Just because you don't like, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.' However, it's not as easy as you say, sometimes you will get ecchied in an anime without ecchi tag. Now we know that Kitagawa-san's anime has ecchi, but it doesn't have the tag |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |

K thanks bye. Oh the world would be such a beautiful place if ecchi was limited to ecchi anime 🤭 Sadly that's not the case. It leaks into all other genres, all the time. The only way to avoid it is pretty much to just not watch any anime at all, which I'm not gonna do, because I like a lot of other stuff about the medium in general 🤷♀️ |
| Yes i really love that scene from haganai and high school dxd so getting them banned in EU wouldn't bother me since I'm asian and censorship is almost none and in my country anime isn't even considered a thing to implement laws about. |

Alphonae said: deg said: go back to piracy then so no problem? This is bad news for the industry on a whole, because licencing these series in these regions bring in a lot of money to the producers, so this move might discourage the higher ups from making ecchi anime all together or if they do, it'll be toned down like The Greatest Demon Lord (Murabito A), from this season. So no more ecchi, are you that big of a pervert and shut in to cry about it? |

Alphonae said: Depiction of human children is illegal of course. However the EU has binding legislation that no cartoon image can be considered child porn, because a sane adult is able to tell between a cartoon and real life.So this is a false alert. Anime is explicitly excepted.I say this because sexual depictions of minors is illegal in countries like France and UK, and this includes fictional and animated depictions. |

You're never going to limit types of content into rigid little boxes like this. It's just not feasible or realistic. If you want to get irritated about it that's your right, but just do it with the understanding you're living in a fantasy land. This doesn't just happen with ecchi. deg said: sure but its not as profitable as other genre like battle shonen is though the ecchi genre is getting more into niche market or small market territory Ooooh, a rare deg. Late stage capitalist deg - destroy all small, niche markets and make content exclusive to the largest, most profitable markets possible. Glad to see you advocating this sort of stuff, deg. You might feel like a nobody from time to time now, but if you keep this sort of mindset and start applying it to all walks of life, you might just become a modern day hero in the same vein as Jeff Bezos or Martin Shkreli! |

| Ever heard of that thing called VPN? |
| That sounds like baseless panicmongering to me. I don't believe for one second that any platform will remove random shows like DxD or Haganai because of a bill aimed at hate speech, fake news and propaganda. It's ridiculous to speculate about these things before they happen. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

If you want to get irritated about it that's your right, but just do it with the understanding you're living in a fantasy land. This doesn't just happen with ecchi. Yeah, I know? Which is exactly why I'm saying that I'll continue watching anime even if it contains some parts that I dislike and would rather not see. My response was to someone saying I should just not watch ecchi anime if I don't like ecchi, which makes about as much as sense as to tell someone to just not watch comedy anime if they want to not see comedy. It doesn't work that way, because genres bleed into each other. I simply said that I, personally, would be happy if ecchi got truly banned. Like, for real, in a proper way, like how Japan banned uncensored depictions of genitals in both their fiction and porn. I also said that that desire ultimately has nothing to do with this because that's not what the law is even about, so the whole panic is pointless. I just like to dream about a world in which fiction caters to my tastes and not someone else's, why is that such an upsetting concept for everyone to be replying to that bit, lol. |

It has always been a blight upon anime and I'd enjoy it so much more if it was gone :P Yes, I also watch hentai, your point is? I'm not some prude who has an issue with sexual themes in general, I just hate ecchi and fanservice because they detract from proper storytelling in shows that decidedly DON'T go all the way. Ecchi is the worst of both worlds. Besides, there's plenty of completely innocent BL romances, I could be specifically only interested in those (not the case, but just making a point that your 'argument' makes no sense). |
SleepySera said: Yeah, fanservice with girls should be made illegal but fanservice with them gays is welcome, right? You literally have a stack for fujo-bait, is that not detracting from the main theme? Also BL aren't innocent, it's always about harassing/abusing someone until they develop feelings for their perpetrator.Maou_heika said: Says the person who likes BL, how ironic!

Also BL aren't innocent, it's always about harassing/abusing someone until they develop feelings for their perpetrator. Two people being in a romantic relationship and having sex isn't fanservice, it's literally the content of the story. Which is specifically why I brought up hentai, since romance and consumating the relationship also is specifically the point of it. I enjoy that regardless of gender, but good job projecting your prejudices on others :) I have a stack for shipping, which is not the same as fujo bait. Shipping is specifically about what ISN'T there, so you can have fun with your own creativity in completely unrelated series. I'm not qualified to attest the intent mangaka/anime directors had and if some wanted to specifically attract fujoshis to their works (personally, I'd think so for a few of them) but the majority have no such background whatsoever. Not even gonna reply to the last line in your comment, considering the level of willful ignorance it displays. |
Alphonae said: I like it more when an anime doesn't go all the way. There's the novelity that comes with it. It's plain boring when they simply sit and fuck, instead of leaving no room for imagination. And that's okay. You like what you like and I like what I like. You can watch ecchi series and I can avoid them. What I can't avoid is the ecchi that ruins "officially" non-ecchi series, so I'll continue to dream of a world in which that isn't a thing. Again. This is merely what I wish the world would be like. I'm not actually the president of Japan, or of your favourite animation studio or whatever. My dream is not gonna take your precious ecchi away. It's just that - me saying I'd like it if the world was different from how it is. |
