While SB20 was originally passed with bipartisan support to fight AI-generated child exploitation, its vague and sweeping language is now the primary cause for concern. The bill’s author, Republican Sen. Pete Flores, stated that his intent was to send a “clear message” to child predators.
Seems the intention was good but they used language that was overly broad and they clearly did not know enough about anime to be able to use the proper wording when writing the law.
Censorship by the anti censorship party, who’d have thunk it?
I still wonder how thry live with that much freedom. I don’t think i could handle it.
A lot of Texas supports a child rapist so a lot of their morals are fucked anyway
Texas and intelligence never went hand in hand. They don’t even allow women to have an abortion even if it was because of rape or if it would kill the host.
Man, I have no good words for this state.
Doesn’t this mean American animation like South Park and Family Guy will also be on the chopping block? I remember an episode of South Park where Ike sleeps with his kindergarten teacher.
Don’t forget the dicks out for Harambe episode, I’m surprised that one aired.
Nice.
I’m wondering what anime they’re actually talking about? Redo of Healer? Nukitashi? There’s certainly some “provocative” anime out there. For everything else (and even those) there are age ratings.
Bad enough animation awards just go to Disney by default even when their stories are plagiarized and their movies are forgotten the next year when the next one comes out. Okay, Frozen stayed around for a few years but most are soon forgotten.
I’m glad Sony Animation is starting to get credit (Spider-Verse, KPop Demon Hunters) but it’s still “safe” animation.
I’m wondering what anime they’re actually talking about?
It will be whatever some Christian lobbyist group complains about. Given the state of Texas, that will largely be anything with LGBT themes.
Aw did Attack on Titan hit a nerve? Did they figure your bullshit and educate others?
Yeah Goku’s muscles always were too sexy. I’m glad they are going to start blurring them
Honestly though, i dont care if its a 10000000 year old dragon priestess that looks like a child…it looks like that child is getting molested and im not ok with that
Yes, that is indeed an issue.

Friendly reminder that Christians are to blame for media censorship in Japan.
