“In the anime, there’s a character who can use his clairvoyance and, when he applies it to a male character, he mocks the scale of his p*nis.

“In my opinion, at this time’s viewers are bored. They insult trivial issues and are at all times creating controversies about tradition, society, the dearth of respect for girls and discrimination. First of all, isn’t watching anime a pleasure? Sensitive individuals mustn’t watch anime or learn Japanese manga. In the eyes of those individuals, any murals will solely be seen as racist”
”I do know it sounds dangerous, however some individuals would do properly to observe kids’s cartoons like Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol, that approach they received’t really feel offended by the productions. The characters should not human, due to this fact, they won’t see any sort of discrimination”

”The weirdos that used to pop up in Kimetsu no Yaiba will discover one other place to make issues troublesome, so why not ignore them this time too? They’ll hold saying it and received’t keep in mind tomorrow anyway”
”Both sides are being dominated by extremists. It’s not good, but it surely’s additionally a narrative whose subtleties can solely be shared between the events concerned, so it’s not appropriate for the web, though more often than not that is contextualized within the content material”
”I don’t know the place the scenes ”mocking girls’s breasts” or ”two protagonists flirting with male characters” are. ”The wave of polycolorism spreads appropriately in China”

”All these sorts of issues for artistic work are considerably acceptable. I hate huge breasts and I’m nervous in regards to the surprising variety of women who imagine that larger breasts are ”regular”.
Complex companies like cosmetic surgery are extra dangerous than cartoons”

”Honestly, I believe you’re lacking the purpose in some locations, but it surely’s factor that individuals nonetheless don’t like messing with bodily traits, as a result of it’s a really old school dangerous behavior of shounen manga that should cease. I believe it will have an effect on Japanese individuals rather a lot if manga turned taboo.”
”This anime stands out for its discriminatory expressions relating to look (breasts, hair on the pinnacle, male genitals). But the standard of the opposite components of the anime may be very excessive, so possibly it’s simply because these components stand out.
