Censor Japan = good / censor the gays = bad

[Ruinous]

Thank god I can still play The Witcher series in all of its overly sexualized and uncensored glory.

My dear Senior Rational Extremist, I believe you have overlooked a key detail in your research!!

Japan cartoons were censored for having content of a pedophilic nature, yes? Surely you, in all your wisdom, can understand this is quite a lot different than censorship of homosexual themes.
I submit to you the following notion - one of these things should be censored and the other should not.

Yours in Faith,

This Is the fundamental problem with morality. It is subjective. Many people believe both are wrong. Many believe the former is fine and the latter is not. Others might believe the opposite. Reason tells us that neither practice is without consequence (perceived or real) just as any other practice that is or has been morally objectionable to persons throughout history.

Private parties should be free to reject or embrace ideas as they see fit and rally around them. The only issues that I take with censorship though are hipocrisy and government imposition on diverse societies.

If Cartoon Network UK does not wish to promote gay culture, that's their choice. You don't have to watch their programming. If they do want to promote it, that's their choice and opponents don't have to watch it. The same goes for any other content, provided it does not explicitly incite criminality.

Which Japanese cartoons are we discussing?

Self censorship the worst kind of censorship.

Kaga is like a video game version of whatever you call those Oregon patriot preppers

Pick one.

He's a libtard. If logical thought was on his resume he wouldn't say 90% of the shit he says.

For the sake of intellectual exercise, I'm going to play devil's advocate here and point out that sexual preference, whether it be gay, straight, or of a pedophilic nature, are all the same psychologically predetermined things. While pedophilia isn't socially acceptable and is in fact detrimental biologically, it stands to reason that if homosexuality isn't frowned upon, neither should any other sexual preference.

There's nothing wrong with being a pedophile - only with acting on your proclivities with a minor (of age 12 or younger imo, but aoc is a debate for another day).

Murder and Rape are acceptable by some, but we as a society have made a value judgement that these things are not OK. Gay anime characters fondling little boys is generally frowned upon and I have no issue with this type of censorship, nor does any reasonable human being.

Censorship when someone really has something to say is way different than when someone is going to ridiculous extremes only to make a point that they are being censored.

Sexuality against children is a particularly dicey subject to some people and making light of it is even worse than forced censorship. Sometimes you have to pick the lesser of two evils

We should be giving free helicopter rides to all pedophiles, rapists and the liberals at Salon whom support them.

Make The World Great Again.
