Apparently the reason Bleach is banned is because of a panel with Ichigo sleeping with his hand on his crotch.
Same for Dragonball, because of the early scene with Goku(recently removed from living alone in the wilds as a child) checks peoples genders by patting their crotch before getting chastised for it.
Doesn't ban lolis, nudity of children isn't banned. Just hands on crotches, defecating, some sex acts.
Need to reread the final version, seemed like an earlier one at least also banned anything that could be used for a game, like tic tac toe, and to draw a depiction of a stick figure with a hand on its crotch could get banned as a felony offense to have a deleted copy of on your hard drive. So possible MS paint, even MS Notepad or a bucket of gravel.
Also barely bans AI generated stuff like advertised because it only bans possession not, production, so they can just store the seed and prompt and not be in violation.
This bill reminds me of the bill the Hastert run house passed in the early 2000s for AI generated child porn. It was just to distract from Hastert himself being a pederast (later convicted of molesting underage teenage boys). Wonder which person this bill is meant to distract from.
Any time someone shouts to the rooftops "people like me, but definitely not me, are without exception bad people, except for me, and need laws reigning them in!", that person should probably be deeply investigated.
This should be basic standard procedure. I believe the bible put it "judge not lest ye be judged": Judge them. Some, I assume, are good people, even if their ideals are draconian and oppressive, and their policies can simply be voted "nay" against. The rest... You'd probably solve half of all crimes just by checking in with those who suspiciously highlight themselves in desire to clamp down on people like themselves (but totally not themselves specifically).
