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…
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.
