Dragon Ball and more pulled from shelves amid Texas censorship bill
Retailers are already reacting to a recent Texas bill by pulling manga from shelves, including issues of Dragon Ball and more. The bill SB20 appears to have noble intentions with language going after…
I hate lolishit as much as the next sane guy, but how the hell is dragon ball of all things pornographic?
It's because of an early chapter when Bulma flashes her panties at someone, plus the first wish of the series is Oolong getting a pair of such to wear on his head.
Plus, in one early chapter, Goku is naked and his genitalia are visible.
All of this made it into the anime, too.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and the law is stupid. I'm just pointing out their line of reasoning.
There’s more. Yamaha sees bulma’s tits and I think her ass is visible when she goes to pantie flash roshi for a dragon ball. Kid goku stole her panties while she was asleep so she didn’t realize she flashed the whole clam to the old man.
In Japan the age of consent is 16, so this would be like old raunchy college humor to them… I think.
It was only raised to 16 a few years ago, thanks to feminist efforts (I'm dead serious, not channeling Imp).
Until then, it was 14.
It is a felony to possess because there is an early chapter where Goku(having been isolated with his adopted grandpa in the wilderness) asks what the difference is between men and women, and someone tells him.
Then Goku pats a few people's crotches to see which is which, and is quickly chastised for it. That's it.
It isn't anything to do with nudity. The law doesn't prohibit child nudity. It prohibits hands on crotches, depictions of defecation(even if it only shows the neck up in a stall), and acts with genitals. Maybe a few other things, been 6 months since I read it and it hadn't passed yet. Or things that can be used for a game and that could be used to depict such things (which could potentially be used to say owning a bucket of gravel is a felony., because it can be used to play tic tac toe and draw a smaller stick figure having sex with a larger stick figure)
Bleach is also a felony to possess because of a single easily missed panel where Ichigo is sleeping with his hand on his crotch.
It isn't a felony to distribute, because that wouldn't cause the maximum possible number of people accidentally violating this.
What the wannabe pedo posted isn't the issue. The issue is that he is posting at all. Everything he posts is about degeneracy.
Ask yourself how he finds out about all this shit? Why is he posting about furshit? Why does he have a community devoted to images depicting naked children? Why are the majority of his posts about the latest troon drama?
