Ban On Anime

I read the petition... your being f***ing rediculouse (sorry if that is spelled wrong but dont be a spelling nazi...) this is bullshit you say we live in moral decay...well if we didnt want that we wouldnt have made the constitution this way. why dont you call REAL porn filth and deprivacy cause hentai is just a drawing and besides if we dont want our kids watching porn or anything like this dont we have PARENTAL BLOCKS or something like that? so your not gonna save alot of kids if you ban anime your just gonna piss us off to a high extent so YOU do the right thing and F*** OFF and i dont think your a very GOOD christian by putting down a race (japaneese in this case) so along with all the people who sign and will sign that petition see you all in hell bitches

p.s. o in the petition you DID mention Love Hina...just lettin you know

O and before i forget children under the age of 18 CAN and sometimes DO love you f***ing morons jesus its like you guys think the body runs on laws as in the body doesnt expirience love untill 18 which is the maturity age in U.S. i swear i hope you guys feel bad about putting this petition out so you can get cused out by what you are trying to save....i am damn proud to say im 14 and watch anime and yes i HAVE checked out hentai ONCE but hasnt everyone i mean come on when you get curiouse you tend to find out WHATEVER you are curiouse about so f*** you and all the signers of the petition...sorry if my follow up comment was so long

Geeze IdRaWaNiMe, such vehemence. Who exactly are you yelling at here? After all, it's just a post about a bogus email. None of us were trying to ban anime, and yet you come on here yelling. You're exactly the type of person the email was aimed at - those who spout off without bothering to stop and think first. As such I have to say the email is a success. Burn!

My friend is Japanese too and found it really offensive and here was my other friends response:

Dear Mr. Fuller,

I've come to the conclusion that you have helped write this petition. After reading it, there are many things incorrect with it.

1. Ah! My Goddess and Love Hina are not meant for children. The DVD cases blatantly state "For Ages 16+" or "For Ages 17+". Use common sense, please.

2. In Ah! My Goddess, the goddess Belldandy is NOT under 18 years of age. She is probably much older, because she is a goddess. Again, common sense.

3. You don't state which George Bush the petition is to go to. Do some research next time.

4. The "Responsible Americans Against Child Exploitation" is not a real organization. Google and Wikipedia, high traffic ranked web sites on the internet, came up with nothing. Compared to your fake organization, you'd at least get my self-created web site for my cosplay group, the Neko Mercenaries Group Indignation.

5. What the hell? Your email address has "neko", the Japanese word for "cat", in it, and yet you wrote a petition against anime? You're a fluke!

6. "As a resonsible Christian, I demand to see this garbage removed from our nation. Please sign this petition and send it to George Bush, your Congressman, and the makers/distributors of anime filth and depravity. "

WHOA WHOA WHOA! You're a Christian (Maybe you aren't, but you helped write the petition, you're getting a flame and a half.), and yet you think George Bush (Which one again? That wasn't stated.) will listen to you? Hey, here's something you should research: Separation of Church and State. It's part of the United States Constitution. I don't think you're going to win this. Oh, and use a spell checker. It's spelled "responsible".

All in all, you have lost this, and a petition was created just now (7:23 PM, January 15, 2007) to petition your petition.

Sincerely,

-Seph-kun

Hey um I'm not sure if this ban on anime is real or not but seriously why would you ban anime? Most people who watch it watch it to get their minds off of things, or at least I do. I'm a HUGE anime fan and if they wanna ban anime then they should ban pornography and R-rated movies while they're at it. I'm sure those are even more offensive to people than anime is. Yeah anime does have some graphic ones but it's not anyones choice but the person who watches it to watch it. (If that made any sense)

this petition is funny. people are fucking morons, I can't believe that they would even try to do this. There is more anime in the USA then there is movies made in the usa. No one will be able to ban anime. hentai maybe, but it will be all underground! Stupid people never heard of P2P programs? they should be found, beat to death with a mop stick, and left for dead!

Get a fucking life, and get over it. If you don't want anime in your house, then buy tivo or whatever to block it. But I can tell you now, you will never be able to block anime, you block anime you block all cartoons, and everything from cartoons, to the oprah bitch that you watch for 3 hours a day. Have fun watching a black blank screen you fuckers!

this is so retarted,i love wtaching anime,in fact on youtube i have over 200 videos off it,made by me,so i love anime,and if jorge bush bannes anime,im moving somewere else..lol

I hope congress bans anime because it's using subliminal messages (sending messages to the subconcious mind which then processes them to make you do it without your consent) to get people to hate America. Anime is sick and disgusting because about 95% of it contains traces of porn, and in most cases, the whole thing is porn. All they are doing is sending their perverted customs into America, and making the next generation of children filthy anime porn addicts who hate the country they were born in.

Animesucks WTF is wrong with you... are you just one of those paranoid retards that thinks that everything is a conspiracy. Its not turning all the kids in America into brainwashed porn addicts that only live for anime porn, anime is just fun to read and get into. People will always read anime DEAL WITH IT!!!

Of course, the problem with such a ban is that it is an act against a form of expression. Such a ban would, therefore, be unconstitutional as it's contrary to the 1st Amendment.

Furthermore, you would have media companies that would also rally to fight against such a ban if it were to occur since many do earn money producing and localizing anime for the American market. And, even companies that do not produce anime could see the precedent that such a ban could entail and would also fight against such a ban. Plus, there would be civil rights organizations such as the ACLU that would rally against a ban. And, this is on top of regular people who enjoy anime who may also act to see that such a ban be rejected.

In all, a call for such a ban would have to be a hoax or from a harebrained moron who wants to dictate to others what is acceptable and what is not. - Reinhart

haha the guy who wrote it his email is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
who has a japanese word for their email and then calls the japanese filthy?

The president banning anime????????!!!!!!!!! Geez.... Dispeakable........ What dont he say about American teen dramas that are negative impact on children....... Why not about American animations as well that are too typical causing intimidation for some young teenagers........ For example, basically if we dont follow what teen celebrities wear in America, sometimes we are rather referred as aliens to them...... Why not say the American pop culture that drive some younger generation to insanity........ Look how some young celebrities had polluted some of the minds and 'clean' of our current generation........ If anime is evil then why premier Pokemon, Shaman King and Yu-gi-oh, arent they also 'evil' anime as referred by some Christian families...... I dont understand..... Why mention only Ah! My Goddess and Love Hina?! But no matter how hard porn is to be stopped, some young people will still have access to them wide online at homes in America....... Just because I like anime comedy like Love Hina does not make me a lecher! Duh?! Ah,well, just my opinion!

If the president hates Japanese that does not make him a good Christian either...... Because to hate someone means to 'kill' them..... And as Christians, we do not hate because we are God's precious children......

Imagine I've met some of my Christian friends that even said that hentai anime is no different since in general some of them seem 'equivalent' to 'Hollywood' adult themed films......

If anime is banned, that also means he will be insulting the most loved of all time Miyazaki Hayao who produced famous Ghibli films..... Ghibli films are also movie anime anyways....... And Ghibli films are very meaningful to young teenagers, families and even young children....... If anime is banned, that may mean in the future young children will never ever have chance to watch Tottoro.........

I dont mean the president hate Japanese, just animation in general..... Sorry if meant offenses with words.....

Just that some young American generation lack decency these days.... Because of the deep influence of pop culture of them...... particularly Hollywood in general, some teen dramas with all the cultural stereotypes, how young celebrities dress that some young people tried to follow...... Just to conclude it is hard these days to define what is decent and right in terms of media these days..... well, anime is part of media tat was why...... Ciao~~~~

Ah, many morons on both sides of the debate here...

1. Most Christians aren't like the nonsensical authors of that so-called petition.
2. Those flaming the petition authors are using a equally as nonsensical logic as the petition authors themselves.
3. Please do not try to sound like you're intelligent and then claim there is a Separation of Church & State when there is none. Read the Constitution.

Though I disagree with the authors of this petition, I am both an Evangelical Christian and an avid Anime fan. I believe that there should always be intellectual debates on controversial subjects. But once you start coming off as being as equally moronic as those whom you're trying to debate it ceases being a debate and becomes a hissing match. Which in the end gets us nowhere.

Btw, do not worry about a banning of Anime in the United States, since it violates no obscenity laws, Anime is considered protected speech. You're more likely to see a ban on softcore pornography before Anime, and we all know its highly unlikely that that would happen in our lifetime.

you are an idiot, thats what you are!

Is there more or are you done hissing at me? If there is anything in my previous post in which you disagree with, I am open to debate you right here. But if you're only going to call me names, you best not waste your time, because I will not waste mine.

People like you that think you are so much above everyone else, well guess what, your not. In fact you are worse than everyone else because of that mindset, I have dealt with people like you before, and I have learned its not worth my time. No matter how much you refuse to believe it you are the close minded type that thinks they are open minded. So just go thinking you are better than all the people here.

Okay...this is just plain damned ridiculous.
One) stop with the name calling.It's stupid and wastes time.
Two) Never ever ever accuse anyone of being either open or closed minded. You don't know anything about any of the other people here, so it makes you look like an ass.
Three)Before you start calling someone else an idiot, make sure you check your post for errors. Atleast then, they can't call you a hypocritical idiot.
Four)BUSH CANNOT BAN ANIME!!!!! I have said this before. Study the american government people!!!
There is one section of congress that deals entirely with the media. Japan is one of our biggest trading countries. Do you really think we're stupid enough to really fuck ourselves over that much?
The only thing Bush can do is suggest that the more graphic shows and movies be shown at a time when it would be least likely for a bunch of little kids to be watching.

That's all for now and have a nice day.

Making some pretty big assumptions there now aren't we, InternetNinja? Calling me that without any evidence so that you may cut off any opportunity for an intellectual debate. Now whose the one being closed minded?

About my mindset, did you come to that conclusion because I criticized the logic behind your previous posts? Or, is it that you are one whose logic comes from those who are prejudicial toward all who hold to a faith in the supernatural?

Personally I love Anime....and I also happen to love God. I'm a Christian and I think anime is a valid form of media. It doesn't make sense to ban Anime...as it would just pave the way for the liberals to ban CHRISTIAN MEDIA!! Morons.

I don't think I was more amused by any other thread in any other forum ever.

Just for this, I will register so that I can read some more of things like that. *wanders off to fill in the registration forms, unable to stop laughing all the while*

Anime isn't evil at all, it's a form of art and the idea to ban anime is ridiculous and to send people to jail for art is even worse.It violates our first anmendment!

Anime can't be blamed for the destructive behavior of teens in America. In most cases, music and t.v. aren't even involved. And the way I just read how someone called it a "perverse evil from the dark land of Japan" makes me wander if people with this petition are doing it for youth or for drama.

There are many anime's out there and you'd be stupid to only look at two and blame the whole thing. Some anime's are not all that bad. And it's pointless to argue over two of them. STOP TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM! US TEENS ARE HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE WE HAVE NO VOICE IN ANYTHING THAT INVOLES US, AND YOU TAKE AWAY ANYTHING THAT IS OK FOR US! And yes these comments are ammusing.

WHOA WHOA WHOA y attack the children of America this is just people's opinion, Bush is brain washing ya'll he's a lier and a thief and ya'll still love bush.WAKE UP HE IS A LIER HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT U OR THE TROOPS AND DEFINTLY BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! I"M 14 and I know people who drew pictures of bush death and laugh at it cause it was funny to them. "Hey all ya'll bush lovers do ya'll still love bush now he's taking away ya'll anime. Well I think he realllly shouldn't do this there's gonna be a war if this happens all the troops are at iraq dieing n and japan is going to attack us and hopefully kill bush and that damn scarred dickface.Or japan is going to take away all their stuff that they made and so is china so tell that dumbass bush this and tell Dick chenny die in hell u fat bicth go fuck ur own dick fat bastard!!!!!!!!!!!wtf does that dude mean quite amusing to read these messages this shyt is serious people r gonna die over this shyt dumbass. They gonna put my ass in jail fuck anime haters I hope japan kills all of ya'll anime haters u don't have to hate it just say u don't like it god damn it!Bush is being a fuckin racist HE DOESN"T DESERVE TO LIVE PUT HIM IN SAW or something make him suffer!!!!!! I DARE THAT DICKHEAD TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TOO FOREVER HIDING LIKE SADAM!

Okay people. PULL YOUR FUCKING HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES FOR ATLEAST ONE MINUTE!!!!!
NOW LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY, BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE TOLD IS COMPLETELY TRUE!
1)I agree that Bush is a dumbass and needs to be shot. HOWEVER!, he cannot ban Anime from America. It was not in the powers given to him by the constitution to censor the shows we can watch.
2)Bush can only strongly suggest that the more graphic Anime shows be moved to a later time when young children are less likely to be awake and watching TV. HE CANNOT TAKE IT AWAY!!!
3)Stop calling him a racist, prejudiced faggot. Please notice I spelled all three words correctly! Bush is from Texas, and he grew up a rich boy. He's just a stupid, ignorant, dumbass. He's not racist as if you paid any attantion to the news, you would now he vetoed the immigration bill. Also, he's not a faggot, because he's definitely against homosexuals and gay marriage.
ALTHOUGH IF YOU IDIOTS WOULD PICK UP A DICTIONARY EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT A FAGGOT IS A BUNDLE OF STICKS INSTEAD OF ANYTHING HUMAN RELATED!!!!!!!!!!

Well...I feel I have no possibly given you a little common sense, so I'm finishing this message up.

OH! One more important little note.......STOP BLAMING BUSH FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!THE AMERICAN PEOPLE VOTED HIM BACK INTO OFFICE IN 2004 AFTER 9/11 BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! WE BELIEVED THE PROMISES HE GAVE ABOUT RESTORING ORDER AND KEEPING THE PEACE! WE ARE ALL AT FAULT FOR HAVING THIS MAN IN OFFICE, DO NOT ONLY BLAMES RICH WHITES.
AMERICA IS THE MELTING POT OF THE WORLD!WE TAKE SOMETHING FROM EACH NEW CULTURE JOINING US AND MIX IT IN. WE WILL NOT, HOWEVER, TAKE AN ENTIRE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE JUST FOR THE MEXICANS. LIKE OUR IRISH, GERMAN, ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH, SCOTTISH, WELSH, DUTCH, AND OTHER LONG AGO IMMIGRANTS WE HAVE HAD TO WORK HARD TO ASSIMILATE TO THE AMERICAN WAYS. WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST 200+ YEARS CREATING OUR COUNTRY, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT JUST FOR THE NEW IMMIGRANTS!
TO ANY IMMIGRANTS THAT FEEL THEY DON'T NEED TO LEARN OUR WAYS: LEARN TO SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE, LEARN TO LOVE OUR LAND, AND LEARN HOW TO PAY SOME FUCKING TAXES!

Um this dumb bicth who sent bush a email or letter doesn't know anything about anime not all anime is bad you dumb fuck! Some anime are meant for adults only!!!!!!!!!

for all you people that don't belive that they are actually tring to ban anime... here's you d*mn proof: http://www.petitiononline.com/cutiepie/petition.html

they are, and I'm amd as heck. :coolmad:

Tia Marie, about fifty years ago or so there was a movement to ban naked animals. Granted it started as a hoax, but it existed. Guess how far it got. Even if someone wants to ban anime, THEY CAN'T! Fifty years from now this webpetition will be just a footnote on someone's term paper about the weird things that happened on the web.

guys this will not work out. Just be happy tht most of anime is gone. Dude anime will never be illegal its against the first admendment and there for if that was to be broken. then may all of our rights be broken and we would not be america. this messege aint to offend ne body but plz think about this very hard and think about for 5 minutes

If you are a parent or a decent human being, I urge you to sign this petition to ban all forms of anime in the United States. Anyone who is found in possesion of anime should be arrested and jailed for an exhorbant period of time. Anime is a dark scourge upon our beautiful nation, and we don't need this Japanese filth corrupting the hearts of the children.


This person is obviosuly being bais about Japan. Japan has been upholding honor to this day. Even the Japanese Mafia ( Yakuza Setoshi ) uses the bushido system. No, and i mean no one, can call america itself Beautiful. It has absurd abuse of drugs, which i believe to be a more troubling matter to kids then anime has on them. Japanese filth you say? how bout i say American filth, damn parent. Thas why they got jobs and successful life. if you got a myspace, ima flame the hell outta ya! XD

dude wtf is dark lands of japan mean? you hate em for producing anime? dude you shuld hate china and korea for abusing dogz dude you notin but a ****

😡 ok just because your pissed off at our nation being founded on christian belifes doesnt mean you should deny it. and so who cares if japan started a war with us, ITS HISTORY AND WONT HAPPEN AGAIN. GET OVER YOUR SELVES.

i hate laws

all laws do is make things more unpleasant

in fact this country would be better if we did not have 2 things

law

and

government

as for chatholic and christian religeons there are also responsible for corruption is the worlds as welll as the usa. all those damn light religeons do is say that everything we like and do is a sin. this is why i hate Jehovah and hate Christ all they do is mess sutff up. and of course everything to some degree is gods fault.

I ain't gonna lie. I really hate anime. But that don't mean it needs to be banned. Even though I may not be one of those kids fighting for it, I know that there are a lot that will. Anime may not be my thing, but if you said that you were taking David Letterman off the air because of sexual jokes, don't you think that you would have a bit of anger? It's funny how today's society underestimates children's authority, isn't it?

I am 16 you are a bunch of crack heads. Anime in the boom.

I'm Sorry, but how can this even happen? Anime is not perverted! Hentai and Yaoi and Yuri can be, but the thing is why BAN it? Truthfully, he parents who signed this should care more about their children. If they want to keep their children safe how about the RTFL! (read the fuckin' label)

Who here agrees with me!

This petition will not be passed but if it was I would get some anime and sell it in front of an important building just to piss them off, I'm young enough that

i hope this person dies

no i'm not joking i seriously hope this person dies and then desecrates their grave

Seriously, guys. If they ban anime, it just makes it all right to ban American shows that offend people. We're just the same. We have bad stuff too, like Playboy and naked pics of celebs and people all over the internet. I used to really like anime, but I kind of outgrew the phase a bit. I respect the Japanese culture, and sheesh, we can't freaking hate them for one thing. I respect everyone and everyone has a right to live and nobody should EVER be disrespected for anything. I respect all cultures, ethnicities, religions, etc. People in America can be really stupid. Just flat out stupid. People can be really stupid in other countries too. I wish the world could all just respect each other, but that's never going to happen. Why? Because people are stupid.

That is an outrage! Lots of Americans love anime!
But is George Bush forgetting that anime crazed people like us know how to draw anime!? We could easily make our own anime! ^-^ ANIME WILL LIVE ON!!!

To add to my post,I'm not ashamed to say that anime is my life! George Bush obviously wants to take away peoples' lives!😠 CAN'T WAIT FOR A NEW PRESIDENT!!!

Isabell, you haven't thought this through. Consider the following: 1) There is no way the President, any President, can ban anime; 2) There is no evidence that G.W. Bush has even heard of this "proposed" ban; 3) There is no evidence that anyone is even considering this "proposed" ban; 4) An online petition is meaningless; 5) There is no evidence, even presuming the petition is valid, that the organizers have made any effort to forward the petition to any elected official; 6) Any elected official discounts all petitions, a point I made earlier in the thread, and would probably completely ignore an online one anyway.
