| A couple of years ago, Amazon banned the sale of a rather impressive list of LNs, deeming them sexualizing children and containing vulgar content. Mostly because of loli or imouto content. Now Amazon has banned the sale of a number of old action figures from old shows like the regular Kagami action figures from Lucky Sttar, claiming that they either exploit children or sexualize them ("children" also refer to "looking like children" characters). What do you think? Is this justified within the current framework, or is it still an overreaching act of the moral guardians? |

| >Selling perfectly fine goods in making of which not a single child participated in. The horror! >Overworking and underpaying your employees while simultaneously running smaller competitors out of business. Now we're talking baby. |
| It's just a big company trying to keep its reputation together. That's their decision and if I'm not okay with that then I can refuse to buy from them. As to whether or not such materials sexualize minors, I think most of us would agree that this is not true as there are no real minors involved, or any other real people for that matter. That tends to be what us weebs agree on. |
| Jeff bozo looks more like a pedophile than any anime characters tbh... He was a regular visitor to epstein island |
 |
| That's what happens when you give a single company too much money and power. I stopped using Amazon long ago, their service is pathetic anyway and half their products have botted reviews. Better to support smaller businesses in your own county, or if it's related to anime just import it. Yes it will be more expensive but at least you are supporting the anime industry directly and aren't the cuckold of some billionaire. |
| The only source I could find for this is an article on Bounding into Comics, a site which doesn't have a good reputation. And said article is based on the tweets of a single person. A company like Amazon can remove items from their website for any reason they deem fit, which of course doesn't necessarily mean that it's a good reason. And if the reason is what the article claims, then it's in most cases because of changes in legislation rather than a company taking issue with items. |

| At "Amazon banned the sale of a rather impressive list of LNs" I suddenly lost interest. "What do you think?" Couldn't care less for LNs and figures. |
RobertBobert said: Since when a shop has to "justify" what products they are selling? How is this decision "moral"? And how is Amazon "continuing to attack anime products", they ban all sort of stuff and anime is just a fraction of that. They do not target or attack anime any more than they ban the sale of swastikas, don't ship to Russia due to sanctions, or sell pictures of naked penises.Is this justified within the current framework, or is it still an overreaching act of the moral guardians? I see a lot of hyperventilating and hot air in this posting, but no substance. Amazon reports to nobody but their share holders and the anti-trust authorities. |

| Ah yes, the upholder of morals, Amazon decides to punish a victimless hobby. |
 |
| It's funny how people are trying to destroy this kind of product as hard as they can, but not trying to help real kids with real problems like child pregnancy or rape,I don't see as much effort in this as there is to destroy characters that don't even exist. How sad. |
| I usually see better ebay prices on figures than that of Amazon though I am done buying figures at this point since my space is full. Not too surprised anime stuff might get hit by woke corporations for not pushing "the message." The age of spending and internet moderation is likely to increase. |

| I think that's it's definitely within their right to sell or not sell whatever they want. If they deem it to be "sexualizing children" then don't buy from them. There are still tons of anime that even show "loli" nudity sold directly by them, like Strike Witches. I wouldn't say they are "attacking anime products" like you have in your title, though. I find that Amazon has some of the best deals when buying anime, so they clearly support the industry in some way at least. At the end of the day, there are other options to buying figures other than Amazon, so if they don't have what you're looking for, just shop elsewhere. |

Amazon is banning light novels containing loli and imouto content because they think it's "vulgar", while still selling the bluray and anime figures and even selling the art book of oreimo with a very suggestive cover? did i get this right..? The light novels of oreimo are listed on Amazon US, mind you. You can't buy them because it's out of print. correction: you can't buy directly from Amazon, but you can buy from 3rd party sellers. |

| If true this has 0 impact on me since i get most my LN and manga off bookwalker and google books. However, i've seen no evidence of amazon banning them i can also still get my touhou fumo's and statues from them. which are probably the hardest things to buy in the west since you can't get them locally unlike most other anime figures that can be picked up at local stores I got a aqua(konosuba.) bikini statue from gamestop for crying out load, but my tenshi statue i had to literally get from amazon because they never shipped it from my local retail store despite having it preordered. only other thing if true this would affect is audible, but seeing as you can still get the audio books for monogatari there I'm not sure about your claim. it's also possible that the Kagami statue you mentioned was just a limited edition one and the company themselves pulled it. |

| don't get me wrong, there are plenty of reasons to hate Amazon - in particular the way they treat their employees. however, the argument that Amazon are purposefully banning loli and imouto light novels because they think it's "vulgar" is on very shaky ground considering that they sell related merchandise without an issue. they also have no issue selling the ln of oreimo on their platform via 3rd party sellers, further weakening your argument. edit: thanks @GrimAtrament. i stand corrected. so there is a light novel and it is available on amazon. |

Ah, how predictable. It looks like someone is really taking the internet controversy way too seriously. if you think being skeptical and not jumping on bandwagon on just word of mouth is "agurgment for the sake of it." then idk it sounds like you just don't like being called out. if people took 90% of what people said online (especially twitter.) with a grain of salt there would be so much less "outrage." then their is now. “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Seriously dude I can find even more explicit stuff on amazon. how about the fact that bunny girl statue shiro from no game no life is still there that's not even the most explicit one of her on amazon. did amazon make a statement they would be taking down anime statues? Now that would be more credible then someone whos probably just trying to get twitter clout. legit you are doing the goal post shift. several people ask you for source or evidence and point out they can still find most the product you mentioned as being banned. you provide us with not the actual tweet, but an image of the tweet. please understand how suspicious that makes it look. then when I find the actual product in question you say "oh but the seller is different." but then I point out that It is the same seller. now you are arguing that I'm just arguing for the sake of it.  |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |
| Sorry, the attempt to portray a skeptic and a reasonable thinker in an attempt to justify biased intentions in an argument for the sake of an argument is no less predictable. Only even more hypocritical, because you are trying to justify biased behavior with freethinking. Okay, I'm just going to stop answering even like this, otherwise it'll just turn into an endless attempt to have the last word. Keep trying to justify your bias guys. The flag is in your hands. |

| Amazon does realize they aren't the only people selling LNs and figures, folks will move on to other places; especially for the latter where figure selection is way better. |

I do not understand people who buy such things through the most common online stores.Amazon does realize they aren't the only people selling LNs and figures, folks will move on to other places; especially for the latter where figure selection is way better. |

| No. I'm saying that there's only one article from an untrustworthy source, which is based on the tweets of a single person and that this isn't enough to corroborate if it's true or not. And nowhere in said article was a statement from the manufacturer itself, but instead of Chuck Gaffney, who is apparently owner of an anime site, blog and store and tried to address GoodSmile. @GrimAtrament There's nothing wrong with asking for a legitimate source regardless. |

TheBigGuy said: Your bias towards certain resources is not a loophole for accusing someone of lying in advance. I think that you will obviously be against it if, guided by my bias towards left-wing resources, I begin to assume in advance that journalists are lying and demand that you refute this. Skepticism is not a toy in the hands of those who want to poison the source.No. I'm saying that there's only one article from an untrustworthy source, which is based on the tweets of a single person and that this isn't enough to corroborate if it's true or not.
