If this is seen as a political thread, please delete or let me know so I can try and word things a little better, in case I'm going too far.

I just wanted to let people, who might not know what is going on, know what is currently going on with Anime and Manga being threatened to censor itself at the source.

Another instance of arrogant puritan western companies pissing all over Japan's culture, to force their own agenda down over everyone. When companies become too large, they become a danger to the world.

I keep saying, Japan should start their own international streaming service, so all anime lovers can go use their service and make sure the money goes directly to Japanese creators and not greedy Western middle men, just jacking up prices and inserting their own agendas into someone else's hard work.

I'm sure they would be more able to get things licensed in the whole world, instead of just mostly the US, like the current streaming services that cost the same for Europeans, but only has half the anime show catalogue available, whereas the US gets the whole thing.

Hope Japan finds a way to fight back and stop VISA and MASTERCARD.

I never realized how much the people at Funimation screwed with the source material for their English dubs. The subs were never really an issue. But the fact that the dub translators took pride in altering the dialogue is an insult to the translation profession and the source material. Those deluded people should stay the F away. Just a shame the leadership was okay with it for so long.

Sony has a problem and has to deal with the fallout of what Funimation did now that they acquired them. But Sony has their own issues due to their weird puritan agenda that they push on foriegn content to censor it. Sony should really go back to being owned by the Japanese... and rid us of that puritan crap.

Something just as bad is happening with Sony now trying to buy Kodokawa. If they manage to do this, then Sony will own Manga and Anime at the source and can implement their puritan censoring ways directly on Japanese culture.

I know it probably won't do anything but someone started a petition to stop it. You can sign it without donating to change.org.

If this is not illegal, it should be. I'm amazed I'm not hearing more people talk about this.
