I don't imagine many of you signed up to listen to my spiteful fist-waving on any given topic, but I hope you'll indulge me here: if there's one thing I hate, it's online censorship crusades.
It's a tale as old as pop culture. Some group of joyless souls find out something sexual exists, and then campaign to eradicate the "offensive" content from the face of the Earth so that no one gets to enjoy it.
As you might think considering my line of work, this practice upsets me. The latest bit of fun these misguided folks are trying to snuff out is anime. Just all anime. Apparently since anime often depicts busty women with large eyes and youthful facial features, the entire medium is only for pedophiles now. Joke's on them if they think their crusade is going to change anime though. From what what I've seen, our Japanese friends largely don't give a fuck about American cancel culture. They make what they want to make and I love them for it.
Anyhow, this is Hana Uzaki from a series called "Uzaki Chan Wants to Hang Out." I've never seen the show, but she's become the poster girl for the whole anime censorship thing on Twitter lately. An image of her was used to promote the Japanese Red Cross, and people lost their minds. (Said image is included above.) Apparently being short and busty is now considered a perversion of nature. What really gets me is that the character is 19 years old in the story. That's practically middle-aged by typical anime standards, so it seems strange that Uzaki specifically was the last straw for so many.
Anyhow, rant over. If you made it this far thanks for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this if you want to share them.
