New censorship attempts upon anime.

Just cuz a guy has cried wolf on purpose to try censor everything on the internet, yes, they are going after anything that is labeled mature even when there isn't any pornographic content at all.

And google is not only culprit acting on this on purpose.

Even alteil will be targeted eventually so if you guys don't like it, help support us or no more lapierre for you too.

I even set my adblock to block google ads in response and switched the homepage away from google to some other small search engine like bing.

If you wish to fight back against google download the following https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1865 than set it to block all google adds and watch there bottom line take a hit.

Almost reminds me of fuckface that tried to get porn banned completely XD did not fucking work. Besides a lot of us would throw a shitstorm and start threatening that asshat anyway.

True. As long as there are otaku there will always be hentai.

Is it my attention levels not being shockingly low like they usually are or has anime been taking a lot of blows lately?

I have no clue. First there is an anime company starting to go under then loli starts to get shit thrown at whats next!? I don't want to know.

Okay, two things.
One: Google, along with every search engine out there, is required by law to block sites containing illegal content. To appease the CIA, they bump down pertinent results for "sensitive" topics, and host watchdog programs to log user activity.
This issue (as I understand it) pertains to Google not being the benevolent god of the internet, allowing any, non illegal, content (because that would be WRONG) to appear. And, appear at a reasonable speed, with the most relevant sites taking priority.

NO SHIT, SHERLOCK! Google is a company. Companies need to make money. As was stated in the Sankakucomplex thread (which, may I mention, is also without proper citation) there are alternatives. When Google decides to piss around, and does something you don't like: LEAVE.

I give less than a shit. I've been running adblock for a couple years now, and don't feel like changing. The only use I have for google is taking up server space with an underused e-mail account. If they get one more click to show to ignorant stockholders, so be it.

Two: I already eluded to this, but WHAT IS THIS THREAD ABOUT?!?!?!
Seriously, I have yet to hear an actual statement in one direction or the other. The rest of you just appear to be beating around the same bush.

Signed the petition.

I'm with A.B. on this one. Tell google that you don't approve of their stance and go somewhere else. If you just leave then they don't know WHY you left and they have to guess why.

My message to google

"Screw you guys, I'm going to Bing"

I read the first article, then lol'd. Half of those aren't hentai (okay, all except 1 or 2).

People can't seem to get it through their heads that people in anime ARE NOT REAL. If it isn't real, it does no harm to the community. Lolicon? More like art. That's all it is. You can't try to stop people from doing their job, especially if it's for a stupid reason.

And yeah, I'm still gonna use good, because I'm used to it, and I don't really look up anything on it.

Gonna sign the petition too, though I can guess Google couldn't care less.

I also shat bricks when I saw the name Ryan Turner, but that may be someone else than the one I think of.

I highly doubt a petition will make much difference, but I'm just not feeling very idealistic today. Oh well, as much of a huge hit it would be, not allowing certain sites to be searched through a few popular search engines doesn't have to be the end of the world. There will always be other alternatives.

Why am I not surprised that idiots like these are trying to take away our anime and manga -_-

I loved the final update of that article:

Haha, I can imagine. Did the children laugh and call you names? Gee, you might think some people are unhappy about this and might get a little defensive and vocal. Who knew?



Oh you mean the groups you probably bullied into it, or the ones who are stupidly fearing retribution over something as trivial as this? I'm proud.



Pfft... that's as good as the same thing. "Oh, we won't ask you to stop doing something we hate. We're just going to make it impossible for you to reach your audience." That one just takes the cake. At least he admitted he was a douchebag at the end.

I've noticed that also...I don't know why all of a sudden anime is becoming the ass for all those bleeding heart people to fuck...why not go after actual child predators and lets the otakus have their fantasy...not take away the little joys some people have in life.

*face palm*

people need to learn......that anime people is not real.......

This statement is just what I was thinking reading this.

It's quite frustrating at how much people is attempting to inconvenient my life.

I have a tough time keeping track of what I read, onemanga had a great format which helps me to ensure that I will stay up to date on what I read, but now I have to go and make more effort to keep track of what I read ><

Out of all attempts people had made on this industry, this one is the first one to seriously actually effect me. If equality now wasn't bad enough.. this is bad >.> I was quite glad to see equality now get chased away for time being.

and a come back is they might escalate to real people. my response to this is simple 2d=3d

just want to say, there's never any proof.

Fuck yeah, I'm gonna sign that petition.

And condemn the day when anime gets fully censored from the face of the world, err... internetz

*sigh this is just one of those moments in your life when you just wanna go out there and join a terrorist cell...
