The new bill in Texas is so vaguely worded that its going to make a lot of anime illegal. According to the way the bill is worded, even things like Naruto would be illegal because of Naruto's sexy no jutsu . Even Dragon Ball would get hit because of teen Bulma flashing herself. And Uzuki Chan will be illegal too because "anything that looks like a minor" is also out and we know these people kept going on about how "Uzuki looks like a minor" . Disgaea (not an anime but a pretty popular and great game) is out too because of Etna.

What the hell is this site?
Its the biggest, almost only, English anime site. With contracts with the Japanese companies to do simultaneous subs for releasing episodes instantly as their air in Japan and having a legal backlog of basically everything.
But, it got its start as any other pirated anime site for people to upload their own subbed episodes to. Pretty bad quality, but they clearly had decent infrastructure because even then they had everything, which is what allowed them to grow and go legit some years later.
But at that time, they basically let you have a social media profile with your account that was literally just Myspace (this was pre-Facebook going big). So you had a lot of young, antisocial weebs all gathered in one place on a social media just for them. I know, I was there. And, much like discord is now, it was filled with grooming, sexual stuff, and all kinds of degeneracy.
Oh, thought you were talking about them having made a different social media site, not their message boards.
IMO, I’m not sure how this would’ve been avoided with the legalization of porn plus the advent of the internet
It wasn't a message board, it was a full scale social media clone.
And it wouldn't have been avoided by anything really, but its a case of glass houses with Crunchyroll themselves throwing a lot of stones.
