I wonder if it says anything about me that I think of him more as the Love Hina guy than the Negima or UQ Holder guy.

quote:

Regarding any concerns he has about freedom of expression, he said, "I am very curious about the current movement overseas to erase or remove past works. Osamu Tezuka's manga had quite a few discriminatory expressions, but it's standard in Japan to leave an explanatory note about that while preserving the work as it was in the past. As works that feature discriminatory expressions undergo more and more regulation, it may become impossible to see those old works. However, when it comes to the works that will be created in the present and future, I see absolutely no problem in creators such as myself individually applying our own discretion and consideration while having our freedom of expression protected. I hope that both sides can maintain a good balance."

Pretty sure this isn't happening to Tezuka at all!

i was hoping someone would give me a different answer than the protection of his god given right to draw sexy middle schoolers


i'm not sure i really understand this. his stated protection is some kind of slippery slope protection, against uh, hm, "discriminatory expressions"

is he protecting the right to be racist or some poo poo?

i'm not sure if that's relieving or even more concerning

Ken Akimatsu wants to draw 14 year olds in their underpants, and is annoyed that people think he should stop. It is, as far as I can tell, the major premise behind everything he's written except AI Love You.

His little "Tezuka's getting censored" slight of hand is just to distract you from that. It's the rhetorical equivilent of the Bobo Switch in magic: drop one thing and pick up another quick enough, and people will still think you have the first thing.

There was a conscious effort to hide porn manga magazines during the Tokyo Olympics, specially the pedo ones, which could be easily found on the racks of most 7-11, this also sparkled the debate that maaaaybe they should do something about this and not just for the Olympic Games. This royally PISSED many people off, so he gained lots of traction in response of that. So yeah, that thing about Tezuka is just a smokescreen because even he knows there's not a good way of stating his actual goal.

Well I'm very annoyed that the guy who wrote love Hina winning an election isn't as inherently funny as I had hoped, and it's actually just gross and problematic

He looks younger than I expected though (there is a joke in here somewhere)

If censorship I'd rather he remove the censors of pornography and more advocacy of lgbtq+. For manga I'd prefer if he advocated for better working conditions and pay for those in the manga and anime industries. A living wage plus benefits would be nice.

He was born in '68, so 54? It's mostly the skin, it's so smooth and wrinkle-free. I wonder if he's had work done?
