Why is anime not more intensely monitored by law enforcement?

[Seranthor]

it's better to do that before they hurt people or turn into an Ariel Castro at worst and turn up on television news.

You want the people you detain to be truthful about their desires, its time for you to be truthful about your own, specifically about policing the thoughts of others... What gives YOU the authority to police the thoughts of others without having your own called into question?

And no its not 'better' to violate the rights of law abiding citizens because you 'think' they might hurt someone. Because if THAT is the standard then maybe YOU need to be locked up because its clear you DO want to hurt innocent people.

this is exactly why people keep saying you're trying to police thought.

you're idea of 'before' seems to be long before any inkling of the act is really confirmed to be on the horizon.

I am thankful you keep trying to speak reason to Tsugunai. I know many people would give up but you keep going. You are a good being. And I think it's important that you keep trying.

I know it's a diverse medium and not all of it is obscene, but reading into the history Otaku culture and the various aspects surrounding the medium known as anime, I am honestly shocked it is not monitored more carefully as the US is at least concerned. In fact, I feel anime is what really pushes the line for what is obviously criminal and illegal in real life being given a slap on the wrist merely for being fictional and gives bad people another outlet with little chance of facing justice.

What's worse is how the people that watch anime not only barely mind, but actively embrace the lolicon phenomenon and worse like those underage hugging pillows and dating sims. They don't even care (in fact, they find it funny), and neither does the US law enforcement.

I'm just wondering why, though? Is it really okay just because it is fictional? Shouldn't there be a line drawn?

Holy mother what i just read?!?!

So you are saying that anime is wrong to have some criminal activities in them and this should be monitored or banned yes?

So tell me now, why exacly you want anime to be monitored? Why not movies with rapes, murders, drugs, tortures, heavy racism etc? Why you dont want porn where women pretend to be raped, fu** their brother/father etc?! How is this any different tell me please i want to understand your logic?

Not to mention movies are played by actual actors, are not animated so i guess its worse isnt it?!

You leftists need to serious calm down....

btw no i dont watch loli hentai

different industries. Obviously the movie industry featuring human actors can't have child fetishization, which is why anime (and by extension animation) seems to get away with it.

Also, the worst offenders of gratuitous movie violence like Hostel are looked down upon and career ending and other inappropriate things already come under fire as from journalists so yes, the USA cares a lot about movie content. Being the rational person I am, I won't spout shit like inappropriate themes usually having a purpose in movies compared to anime since I know there is good anime in the diverse medium.

[Flutterguy]

Why isn't television watched more closely?

not sure if this poster is aware about what season was just passed and what genre of movie is heavily promoted during it...

edit: sure name drop Hostel, forget the following:

The collector (and the sequel the Collection)
Green Inferno
The Green Room
Terrifier
Halloween
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Cabin in the woods
Candyman
Final Destination
Hellraiser

I mean some of these actually made careers... talking about how the US cracks down on torture porn when we literally just got out of the month where it's basically the most promoted genre of movie ever.

edit2

What about series that go into excessive detail concerning death and or dismemberment like the Walking dead? Stringing people up to turn or get mauled by mindless zombies. entrails dragging along as a corpse >.> or soon to be corpse is ripped apart.

and this was among the most promoted series to get aired earlier in it's run time. The main reason it isn't now is because the story is progressed various ways and much of the audience has lost interest... not some collective agreement among the critics or channel heads that it is wrong to show such callous disregard for life.

Can we petition the OP to watch A Serbian Film? I think their head might explode.

Some people think it deteriorates eye vision.

You're still feeding the troll all these days later. The dude/chick blatantly admitted they want to be the thought police of the world. There's no argument here, they're a terrible person.

the walking dead is literally post-apocalyptic character drama, not mindless gorn. It leans so much toward the former now it's hard to even qualify it as horror. Cabin in the Woods is satire, a parody and so detached from the horror genre I'm not even sure why it's listed here.

Also most of that other shit is looked down upon by critics and movie buffs. I'll admit as a huge and wise movie buff I give props to the directors trying to spin some real freshness in such franchises like with the last Final Destination though.

with how much they spend on those corpses and kill scenes? we sit there and watch the life drain out of so many people. scenes like a bunch of people casually setting up to butcher and exsanguinate the cast only to get strung up on spikes. ...

It leans so much toward the former now it's hard to even qualify it as horror. Cabin in the Woods is satire, a parody and so detached from the horror genre I'm not even sure why it's listed here.

yet it's still a movie that is all about the brutal killing of the characters. It just doesn't hide the fact.

Also most of that other shit is looked down upon by critics and movie buffs. I'll admit as a huge and wise movie buff I give props to the directors trying to spin some real freshness in such franchises like with the last Final Destination though.

again the critics and movie buffs are not a metric by which to gauge anything.... they have little to no bearing on how well a given movie is received or performs...

if critics and movie buffs mattered... explain why there are like 7 or 8 sharknado movies... oh i forgot all the fucking b-monster movies that are ONLY about a monster killing the cast .

Yes, some manga/hentai are pedophillic in context. This much is obvious.
Anyone with half a brain can tell that its fucked up to watch what is
**obviously** a presented image of an adolescent getting gang raped.

However, the presentation is in the form of animation, which as many others
have said, is not real. Since that is the case, no actual (real) crime is being
committed.

Its not a surprise a lot of mangaka are closet pedos. Just look at Rurouni
Kenshin's creator. And all he got was a slap on the wrist for having kiddie porn.

i think that is so messed up that author ruined the lives of children but his work as an author is valued more than that fact

Lovecraft was considered a racist even for his time but people still love his novels.

Try to take things that people like and this is what happens. You will never get rid of anime or guns lol. the following is much too fucking big.

Exactly. People usually accuse others of their own sins.

Also: Censoring things only makes them more insteresting and dangerous.

was he physically attacking people or performing psychological abuse directly against people? Now, being racist is bad but unless you're actively trying to murder or hurt people, I would put that far beneath pedophilia and child molestation. Any sane person would.
