Your friend sounds like they don't understand that any concept can exist in fiction. Even morally bad or grey topics.

I basically agree with @Asturaetus that it really depends on how it's used. But even if it's portrayed in a glorifying manner. Just don't watch it. It's not meant for you or your attention.

Should it be banned? no
Should people be allowed to judge and ostracise you for enjoying it? yes

No but it wouldn't make a big difference for me if it was anyway. I see more people complaining about morally unacceptable things than I see actual morally unacceptable things in anime. Hell I see those things way more often in non-anime movies and tv shows while I barely watch them anymore.

Nope. As long as it's interesting to watch, it has the right to remain exist. Truth be told, I don't care about other people's trauma or whatever bad memory they have with the topic. I'll still watch if I like it.

People like your friend should watch & read reviews, recommendations and get as much information about an anime before starting it.

That way they won't stumble on things they would rather not see. Because if you don't like something you don't have to watch it. Please don't ruin it for the rest if us.

Even if an anime encourages this behavior, there would be no reason to ban these things. Fiction is fiction, period.
If someone takes offense, the problem is with them. I'm so tired of people attacking creators for not supporting LGBTQ communities, BLM and the like.
It's sad to see how the world is becoming a big fat piece of snowflake, falling apart at the slightest thing.
"Oh my god! X person said that there are only two genders! Let's attack them!"
Everyone thinks what they want. Somehow, we have forgotten that and start witchhunts on a dily basis. I have no problem with the goals of these LGTBQ communities, but man, the individual people behind the cause are the worst I've seen on the planet. It's almost like want nothing but to drag people down with themselves.

What I want to say with this is: fuck them and fuck people who can't separate fiction from reality and crave representation in said fiction, also because they feel it is tied to their lives directly.
Also fuck them for ruining video games.

Damn that felt good.
why are you so pissed if a gay character is in fictional media lol.

personally idc so long as you know what you're doing with it. a lot of times it's used to make things edgy or added in for no reason. like it shouldn't be banned because sometimes people do it well. you should have freedom to include any topic in your story that you want but if you're writing is shit you can't get mad when people tell you your writing is shit.

By erasing bad things from the media, you are not erasing them from real life. Just like forbidding to speak the N-word or calling women "bodies with vaginas" you are not eliminating racism and making trans people more accepted in society.

This. Considering how niche anime really is it won't really change people's views on complex issues. Fictional media isn't a platform for activism.

It really depends on the way how you present it and how much is it contributing to the story, like in Berserk, it was shown to portray how villainous Griffith was and how brutal the dark ages were, whereas in Boku no Pico it was straight up offensive and you can't really justify that. Afterall it also depends on who's the majority, who exactly is consuming the content.

Of course it shouldn't be banned completely as a topic to be touched. It's not like there are certain topics you just can not talk about. However, it should be less normalized for these things to be shown in a light-hearted, sometimes even positive light. The loli complex being shown as innocent, funny or sexy should be frowned upon absolutely.

Tabooization has never been healthy and is usually detrimental. If you care about bad shit happening irl, being able to show these things in fiction to raise awareness, is an important first step to actually trying to solve them. The only alternative is to sweep them under the rug, pretend they don't exist and let people irl keep suffering while you pretend nothing is happening. That's the kind of person your friend sounds like. 'I don't want to know about bad things because it's an invonvenience for ME personally when I am aware of these things'. Pure narcissism.
I probably regret this post by now.

May be instead of banning fiction like anime and manga, novels etc the government should get up off their lazy gready old ass and ban them in reality instead of looking for profiting from criminal acts and taking the easy way out..

I wonder how much they made from Prince Andrew, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ...

I wonder how many names are there in their black book used in plea bargain...
These rich people and polititians, government bureaucrats can get away with anything imaginable with money and power
But take away something that's remotely fictional from the average people or as the billionaires call us 'the slaves'...
Like in France and Germany rule34, danbooru etc are banned as i saw the websits posted... But the rich people can do all that in real life with no restrictions... Modern-day slavery..

Do you think morally unacceptable things like rape , incest, phedophile and other same type of things should not be present in anime and only present on hentai.
So one of my friend recently start watching anime and come in handy of anime include those ,he can't even think about it that those type of think even exist outside of porn and hentai .
He says this type of think only look good in hentai and porn and if it present in other media it's simply disgusting and should be banned.

What your opinion is it only stick to porn media or it's should present in such a way it's acceptable or any other opinion regarding sensitive topic? in anime

I think the choices in the poll are poorly constructed and biased. The vast majority of people would agree that as long as it's fiction it's fine. And I too mostly agree. I think that as long as it's not illegal, then it shouldn't be banned. Because I believe in artistic freedom. However, I do think that including some of these things in an anime can be wrong if they're portraying it in a certain way. For instance if they're actually glorifying something like rape and pedophilia and let it run on channels that children may watch. That I'd say would be unacceptable. I don't think the mere inclusion of these things are inherently negative. I think it's more about how you portray them.

stupidest shit i've ever heard. Especially for rape.

What if it is like the manga "bitter virgin" where it isn't at all ecchi but rape plays a very strong part in the STORY?

fyi, manga was a masterpiece.

I don't think it should be banned. Shows like Banana Fish or Beserk, handle the topics well and it's more of a shock value or showing the characters past then to be fanserviced or sexualized.

Something like Citrus with lesbian sisters molesting eachother for fanservice is off putting and annoying, though

I would have to say no, because aside from the fact it is fiction a lot of the time these are just minor aspects of the anime, and it usually not as if the anime as a whole is about these things.

However, I would say that anime with these things should give viewers a trigger warning or make it clear so people who do not want to see these things can know what to skip or just not watch in general. I have seen this happen with some anime before, and I think this s helpful for those who are especially turned off by these things in anime.

It's people like him and the other 10% that we anime fans an Japanese anime fans target for attack. Keep your moral crying out of fiction. There's a reason why the anime industry as a whole collectively opposes any and all censorship and why many Japanese anime and manga creators aren't warming up to the west and it isn't imperialism.

Animation is a medium of creativity, there are no limits to creativity.

Limiting creativity due to themes you are not happy with it killing the concept of animation.

Are there some things that probably shouldn't exist? Yes, absolutely. Do I condone censorship of those things? No, it's free speech. It's important to push the boundaries in any artistic medium. Having that freedom is what makes artistic mediums evolve.

well its always going to come down to how you portray these things.... anime just doesnt have a good track record about portraying sensitive topics with any sense of maturity.

Most things are played off in a fetishistic way. The perversions of older men just being allowed to seep through kid's anime - especially in the case of pedophilia and incest.

I answered no because I am a free speech absolutist. Give the government the power to ban things and they will end up banning everything for some hyped up reason or other.

If I don't like something in a show or comic I stop going out of my way to see said show or comic.

No piece of information should ever get banned. Period. I absolutely despise censorship in any of its forms, and the effect it has on people in the long run is horrible. I should know - I'm writing this from one of the most censored countries in the world.

See i don't think that such scenes should be banned at all, why should they ban it in the first place? Such shows and moments give you some knowledge in the end, even watching hentai show you the process of reproduction *smirk*.
We're(referring to most weebs out there) fine with how our anime is and don't need much to be changed, some peeps are fine with eechi and some are not, both enjoy different types of anime.

We are in an age where society criticizes everything. Even in the most ordinary things, people find a way to scrutinize them to the point where it becomes controversial. So, most likely, there will be more and more pressure to suppress this kind of content, which, in my opinion, is wrong.
You see those things in mainstream movies, not only in porn, so I see no problem having them in anime and not only in hentai.
