| These censors need to GTFO, they'll try to destroy anime inside Japan to suit their hypocritical agenda. https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/03/12/what-does-it-mean-to-be-on-an-anime-production-committee-fruits-basket-fire-force/ There are plenty of agencies to invite into a production committee, Funi or almost any NA licensor is not one of these agencies that need to be on them. They choose agenda over fans. I wouldn't mind a licensor from outside of the west (since even though those have different standards for their countries the chances of them trying to censor anime inside of Japan is much smaller) to join them though. |

| I don't see the issue here but eh. Such is loaf. |
 |
| They won't try to push any agenda I feel like they know already from previous events that the anime community got a large amount of people that will fire back at them because of changes/censorship. |
Okay, you sound like this right now.. |
| I heard these news. Luckily there's roughly enough anime already produced for me to watch until the day I die so I don't mind a whole lot about Team America World Police™ coming to save the day by telling those filthy japs that they now have to comply with their Puritanical Christian Standards™ deg said: >Sorry, but this content isn’t available in your country. fucking geoblocking though lol and i cannot be bothered to open another VPN to access USA sites like that Damerino said: "Sorry, but this content isn’t available in your country".

| Im glad I pirate anime so I dont put money into the pockets of these twats lmaooo |
Seijatachiiii said: Those twats only license the anime and put them out on their website, which people so diligently rip from their sites, put on their own sites and then insert a ton of harmful ads thereby weakening their sales and lessening the likelihood the anime you watch to be recognized as valuable and consequently less likely to receive further adaption or get similar works in production.Im glad I pirate anime so I dont put money into the pockets of these twats lmaooo Hurraaaay |

ickx said: What kind of agenda would Funimation push lol, aren't they owned by Sony? Sony is headquartered in America now. As for the agenda, someone once made a song about it and everything. |

| You folks overestimate the power of American companies. Funimation has no power in e.g. Europe, where Wakanim (French HQed) hasn't given a fuck about the tempest in an American teapot the Interspecies Reviewers incident was. At no time broadcast with French, German and Russian subs stopped. America is a large market, but so is Europe and Asia Pacific. Fear not, liberal values will be defended, and the US will not represent "the West" alone. Not even close. Guilion said: No, they are not.

HeruruMeruru said: You do know that the founder of Funimation is a Christian fundie and the whole company is located in the bible belt, right? If they really were trying to "push an agenda" then it would be censoring LGBT content if anything. Which they did in their dub of Dragon Maid. And you also know that they have a "peep show" at cons promoting their ecchi titles, right? For fuck's sake they funded Fire Force and Dimenson W. You know, the two anime with the worst forced ecchi fanservice I've ever seen? Oh no those evil western companies funding anime with evil agendas like.... Kino's Journey 2003, IGPX, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, and Dead Leaves. The horror! The horror! While we don't know the true extent of Funimation's influence on committees (if any), it's outright not true to say Funimation hasn't tried pushing things before. Off the top of my head I can think of a number of show's they have inappropriately changed a line to something else; Prison School, My Girlfriend is a Gal, Dragon Maid, and Yu-No. I'll definitely need a source on the Dragon Maid accusation, as I have never heard anyone complain that Funimation censored any LGBT content. Oddly enough, many of the infamous changes that they have done in the past are from strictly ecchi titles (Prison School and My Girlfriend is a Gal for example). Again, Funimation may have been part of the committees for both of those shows, but we have no idea if they actually have any true influence. Just because the content is there doesn't necessarily mean Funimation approves of it. And all of those shows mentioned were made at least 15 years ago, in a much different political climate than that of today's, plus the total lack of instant feedback via social media. So those are hardly decent comparisons. |
I was talking about the subdivision that bought them. Apparently Sony's Japanese Music division has some stake on them though. I didn't know that, I tried to check what percent of the shares they own but couldn't find anything. |

Houston I think? that is a blue area also it has been proven they push their sjw shit. Love ru some feminazi changed a line so they called a guy "misynogistic" Do not forget they dropped interspecies reviewers since I guess that was to much sexualization of woman. |

Several TV stations in Japan dropped Interspecies Reviewers as well. They dropped it because it's literal porn and they would get their app banned from the fucking app stores if they continued to show it. Also Gen Fukunaga is a fundie and all buddy buddy with Rick Santorum. Look it up. But considering you'd rather have Chinese censorship over the existence of gay people, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd agree with him, dohoho.

So those are hardly decent comparisons. 1: There's a difference between adding dumb lines into a dub and straight up forcing the original creators to do shit, which as has been pointed out, hasn't happened. 2: They made Kobayashi say she isn't into girls, which she didn't say in the Japanese version. They caught a lot of flack for that. 3: If we're ignoring the quality of the work, then there's plenty more recent American-funded anime like FLCL Alternative/Progressive and Rising of the Shield Hero... You know, the show that got people up in arms for being an incel manifesto... Anime is the only thing left that isn't littered with forced diversity and other cancer. Don't ruin the last thing left on earth unscathed. Also weren't people like you crying about shield hero cause a WOMAN was falsely accusing a man of rape? You know #BelieveAllWoman. |

You do know that anime beat America to the punch in a lot of progressive ideas, such as representation of LGBT characters in children's media, right?   Both of these shows are from the 90s and aimed at the 12 and under crowd. And even earlier than that was Patalliro. And let's not forget Claudine, one of the earliest positive depictions of a transgender character I think of, from the 70s.  |

Who the fuck cares if a character is gay but homophobes? Also EVERYONE in Cardcaptor Sakura was bi, lmao. Also I'm saying anime has beaten the west to the punch when it comes to certain issues. Name a fucking US kids show from the 90s or 2000s, much less the 70s and 80s that had gay character. A lot of people making cartoons with LGBT rep now have outright stated they were inspired by anime. So... you're gonna have to blame anime, then. |

They can get hit themselves in the face with irony and not notice it.You do know that the founder of Funimation is a Christian fundie and the whole company is located in the bible belt, right? The self-contradiction you've pointed out is far from the only one. |
