Why do people constantly call the saga of Tanya Mangaka a communist? just stumbled upon the guy's feed and it's full of boomer takes, SDF shilling(this is the complete antithesis of the JCP), and anti-communist retweets.

On top of that, Riyoko Ikeda(The Rose of Versailles) who was a member of the Japanese communist party in her youth is now doing interviews with LDP and butt buddies with a senior member. The Riyoko one is far more shocking than the nazi anime girl

I tried doing my own test and that still appears to be wrong, at least in terms of authors. I went to nhentai (a mostly male site I believe) and searched "yuri females only -gender" (idk if you want to include gender bender, I feel like it's usually more its own genre, if you included it it'd probably be more mtf), and searched artists one by one. Around 2/3s of them I couldn't easily find a gender, for the rest I got 12 female 8 male.
If you're talking about the audience then yeah I'd guess it's mostly male, idk about "overwhelmingly" but maybe.

>>25661
found a recent thread with some updated stats on yuri mangaka genders, yep it seems still mostly women. it does not include hentai, but yuri mangaka being so tilted towards women I cant imagine hentai ones being majority male

>and early JCP resolutions being pretty prudish(violent/sexual games bad for kids stuff)
responding to oldass shit but again this is just lame given the actually cool leftist/communist creators in the past had plenty of "problematic" material in their work, sexual and violent.

was Tezuka's Dororo literally saying "fight those in power" giving a bad message to shonen audiences cuz it had aestheticized gore meant to be visually fun to look at? kids should be able to separate that from reality just as they separate Tom & Jerry violence treated as funny (even really dark shit like Tom being guillotined). plus sometimes you kinda have to use violence in the real world. as for more realistic disturbing stuff, yeah no shit, that's what ratings boards are for (I know CERO sucks shit, but you get what I mean).

why throw the legacy of are all the dead creators who historically supported you under the bus, and alienate the ones who could easily end up supporting you otherwise? I agree loli/shota is a different can of worms & can make normies go "wtf", but a general "fun violence and eroticism bad" just makes you look scoldy & lame. you can't force people to evolve past those monkey-brained desires by finger-wagging at them. yeah I'm not butthurt at Doraemon, a literal kodomo franchise, dropping the frankly out-there loli stuff no matter how leftist the original creators were (especially since it can give kids a weird fetish for life), but that's not all that eroticism in manga/anime is. especially if you're aiming for youth going through puberty, yeah no shit they like hot characters.

as far as sexual stuff goes I just think they could tone down the weirder nonconsensual/overtly pedo (as in not even teens) stuff in shonen/shoujo. do whatever in adult stuff, but it feels kinda groomy to make kids attracted to molestation, relationships between adult teachers & prepubescents, or "sexy abusive bad boys" from a young age in shonen/shoujo manga. better to introduce em to healthier sexuality first. the general "objectification of women" argumentation is just addressed by having varied characters (diverse women AND men, portrayed as both sexy and nonsexy). people who come at it from a "degeneracy" angle are not even worth addressing.

>>26407
honestly all this seeth about loli feels like a nothingburger.

>>26407
Good post, anon.

>>26407
On second reading, I think you misunderstand something. Shonen is teen manga, I don't think stuff like Chainsawman is supposed to be enjoyed by the prepubescent kids at all. Kids have kodomomuke, if you give Chainsawman to a 7yo you're either crazy or don't actually give a fuck.

Yes, stuff like Astro Boy (and Mega Man by extension) is considered shonen but not like you're that limited in what kind of plots you show to teenagers, plus I think the shonen demographic used to be younger in the 60s.

It seems the JCP has recently doubled down on banning all porn. While many blamed the Olympics for the removal of erotic manga and AV from convenience stores, it turned out the real push came from JCP lobbying the unions to get rid of them. Westerners often have this odd perception of the JCP as staunch defenders of everything, but this is the same party that once argued horror movies were as degenerate as porn, campaigned for removal of war themes in media and wartime songs, and even went after jazz because they despised mass entertainment. It's why a lot point at it as a conservative party

As for the OP, I can’t locate the exact thread, but it was posted here at some point a massive Twitter thread cataloging around 100 problematic mangakas with receipts. Honestly, it was overwhelming, and most of the "right-wing" beliefs boiled down to them just being overtly racist

That just shows that this party is entirely useless, they're just conservatives with a red paint like KPRF, they're completely non-threatening.

one thing you can give them is that they are consistent in their views about culture, no excuses as to why example A is bad but B is good, it's retarded in every way but i respect the honesty in their views.

These are essentially Project 2025 views - compare the New Japan Women's Association stuff to… literally Project 2025. They don't bring up the trans part at least, but I suspect Japanese TERFs are happier than a pig in shit about this.

I think a big part of it is the way liberal feminism & SWERF ideology kinda merged together in the anglophone west's pop-"leftism" & the two ideologies are selectively invoked depending on whatever "triggers the enemy" more at the moment. You'd immediately (and rightfully) get called out if you said "this female pop star needs to cover up, she's promoting the objectification of women" - but going "women can promote misogyny too :)" over a female artist liking big titted cartoon girls was outright encouraged at one point. Most other cultures' minds aren't honed for the anglophones' omnipresent societal doublethink though. If they see a constant barrage of "we need to get rid of disgusting coomer slop that degrades women" from the capital of the world, they'll just have their full-blown SWERF sectors' views empowered & mainstreamed with no nonsensical caveats like "it's fine when a woman does erotic cosplay, only the drawings that inspired it are harmful" (not even strawmanning, I literally saw an "enlightened game analyst" dude claim the character designs themselves are bad BUT their cosplayers are ok when the geek-feminism trend was huge). I first started noticing this long ago with the Russian equivalent of Tumblr feminists, who leaned radfem & were much more overt about thinking skimpy outfits are inherently degrading. Yeah America's been kinda moving away from these views lately and you see more "oof yikes" designs, but the snowball's been rolling since 2012 and it's massive now, globally.

It's particularly lame for this to happen to Japan though, because hyper-sexualizing both male and female characters is already what otaku did. It's not uncommon for random male Pixiv fappers to get off on both (not even just "femboy" or shota art; I've seen full-blown bishonen yaoi porn artists popular with dudes who also liked typical male-targeted hentai), and fujoshi will either draw "objectified" genderbend art of their favorite yaoi pairs ("oof her back" boobs often included) or just embrace outright "male gaze" yuri like Valkyrie Drive or Murcielago, make their own similar stuff etc. It was a great nerd culture for the actual solution of "just sexualize both & give everyone what they want" to be fully put into practice. Instead they've been importing the "id-driven sex appeal is right wing, 'sensible' art is left wing" mindset. And in fact there have been viral tweets from fujoshi about how both the incel & radfem sides only make things worse for them (their really puritanical feminists tend to also be generally anti-otaku to no one's surprise).
>>26418
I've seen a Japanese comment say "I figured out Kakugo no Susume* is shonen, thus fine to show it to my young kids, but it's got really fucked up stuff in it!" so it seems very vague. A lot of shonens seem fine for younger kids while others are clearly only made for older teens, and it seems it can become confusing to Japanese people too. Better to just have age ratings than these arbitrary and needlessly gender-segregated descriptors (I think even Ishinomori wasn't a fan of that - just a statement I read with no source so take it with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised given what his "shonen" & shoujo" were like)
>>26414
I think it IS something that's hard to approach for your average person, unless they're already into "risky" fiction. Personally, if you go beyond preconceived societal standards of what's been normalized and what hasn't been, I think it's comparable to the more controversial violent games where you get to kill random people for fun like GTA (and let's not forget GTA can mechanically reward you for rampaging). People try to say "well no, I just like the gameplay, you like LITERAL child porn" - if that's the case why haven't the devs done what censors do & replaced civilians with zombies, which is what happened to Carmageddon (tbh I'd argue there are weirder implications to zombie fiction where zombies represent the "mindless masses" but that's another can of worms)? No it's because sometimes you just wanna be a psycho when you play video games. Both entail having fun with a pretty dark aspect of your humanity but most people's brains are built and socialized in such a way that the mere idea of it happening in real life (let alone *doing it yourself*) disgusts them.

I've explored this argument and people's responses to it from a variety of positions and from the left it tends to be a vague "no, GTA is not the same, shut up" without much elaboration and from the right it goes into insane "porn addiction ZOG coomer brainwashing nofap" rhetoric to explain how masturbatory aid is fundamentally different. Zoomers, though, can be pretty united in being against both fun sex & fun violence (and it's not even their fault - millennials' hypocritical bullshit groomed them into it & if anything, they're more consistent in getting triggered by both).

I've noticed most delinquent manga are also pretty conservative. initial D ends with a big fat JSDF recruitment ad and a big chunk of them join it. Another more OP related thing is there's a book authored by Oshii Mamoru and Tetsuya Nishio called Wanwan Meiji Restoration, it's just a big circlejerk over justifying Japan subjugating Korea and covering for war criminals. It was also interesting to learn that Hirano Kouta and Rei Hiroe clashed over political differences Rei held more leftist views, while Hirano leaned to the right. But I’m just rambling now

>>26491
Yeah, Rei is more leftist leaning while Hirano was friends with the writer of highschool of the dead.

>>26491
honestly yeah "it's cringey and makes us look stupid" is better than "this is oppressive". and given it's basically shota fetish art it's goofy to go "this is about women"
>I've noticed most delinquent manga are also pretty conservative
not sure about politics but it's def got the kinda machismo & misogyny you'd expect all shonen/seinen to have on how geek-feminist critics talk about it; some of the most "dicks out no fucks given" stuff I've seen lol. Kyou Kara Ore Wa is exceptionally female-friendly though.
>>26492
Hiroe is the kinda guy who goes "vote JCP" then says "RIP Shinzo Abe", so he strikes me more as a traditional "Japanese politeness" leftist than a modern one who gets really angry and aggressive. so while I haven't seen it I highly doubt his argument with Hirano was a shouting match

Katabuchi too (Black Lagoon anime director) when he adapted The Clever Princess into Pricess Arete for 4C went out of his way to make the male villain more humanized, experience his own form of prejudice and learn something by the end (but I don't think it goes against the original author's vision since she got less "boys stink" since getting a son too)
>>26492
yeah I noticed that long ago and I thought "there might be something to it if they were as close as he implied"

Koukoku no Shugosha's artist (written by Highschool of the Dead's Daisuke Satou), also Gundam IBO's character designer, seems super lib.

I beg to differ. Kids are not all the same. In the 1970s and 80s we had kids watching horror films.

I mean, it is pretty obvious Twitter pushed "left" (moreso radlib) culture war stuff before the Elon takeover; but now you have a guy who thinks "GTA is too mean to cops", and hangs out with radfems, in charge of the website, which means you just see a lot more right wingers acting no different from the "triggered libs" if someone makes fun of Christianity or draws a sexy nun. The reason for the universal "bellyaching about porn" >>26502 pointed out is that's the general direction many people are moving towards, left or right. Didn't know about Yamamoto Yohane but I see Genpei Akasegawa's horse in that first pic so I'm sure she had good taste.

The funny thing is the way anti-sex people on both sides act like their position is the one that's triggering the opposition ("libtards love their degenerate ZOG-brainwashing porn"/"conservatard dudebros love objectifying women") while both moving things in the same cultural direction

>>26513
>she
*he, I'm stupid
>>26496
Didn't know Red's Naoki Yamamoto was an "ok, I don't wanna be left behind by the progressive leftist wave, I guess eroticism is bad now lol :)" guy, though. Sucks but not too surprising given what the average born-again western right-wing nerd used to be into, or in the case of Mori Natsuko *still is* into yuri porn while hanging out with anti-gay politicians. Eroticism, like fun violence, is an id-driven thing and many people enjoy being part of a culture war side to belong to "something greater" and go beyond their monkey-brained desires. It just feels worse when it's someone talented (dude even had a Manben episode) and not some porn LN writer or Twitter memer who makes soyjaks in mspaint.

That said, with Naoki, I get the feeling that part of it is just him just being younger than the people he wrote about. Red covers 1969-1972; the dude was only 12 years old in 1972. So while older communists could acknowledge this stuff as lame social conservatism (especially since they had to deal with a lot of it), I could see someone younger buy the idea that "complaining about anime boobs is just a natural evolution of the new left of the 60s, the women's lib movement of the 70s etc".

Doesn't always apply since Yohane is even younger and was his assistant, but I think it probably makes it more likely.

I think it's a combination of this and that he just really despises the freedom of expression warrior types like @himasoraakane who he has gotten into a few Twitter beefs about zoning and wants nothing to do with their fight. Attached is the bunka interview, here's the ashai one shortly after which got a lot of backlash for https://x.com/ymils_y/status/1714214894990746051 and he has just degenerated more on the issue since

>>26568
>Centrists are just conservatives that are too scared to call themselves such
Nah, I didn't mean those guys. I meant the cultural moderates like dirtbag leftists, anti-idpol progressives or anti-conservative lolberts. I understand that people like Joe Rogan are too friendly with conservatives nowadays and this is just sad to see.

>>26574
>the freedom of expression warrior types
The free speech advocates are the new SJWs…

>>26574
First of all, do you have a source to Bunka interview? Is there a way to read the Asahi one without paying?

Second, that just comes off as pure wimpy cope given that we're already in the "ok, but all of it is bad and needs to go" phase, Japan included. The way he went "this is just how it is under capitalism" in the Asahi article also sounds like Twitter autopilot where you're not addressing the fact that the supposed "anti-capitalists" are also pushing for censorship, or the fact that you yourself are defending it as a supposed anti-capitalist. And this brings me to >>26578 - I'd say the "trad" conservatives who do their own deranged crybullying are the new SJWs, not the ones who oppose censorship of erotic content (though the latter do have their issues). Himasora Akane sounds like a dumbass who says genuine incel shit still, but you don't need to suck his dick to take a stand against all the dumb shit that's been attached to the JCP. The ballsy thing to do is to just say "both are bad" - Yamamoto simply sounds like a coward who doesn't want to rock the boat too much so he says "the bad stuff my people are doing is not a big deal" (even invokes "just watch porn" which is a terrible opinion… doubly so if you're a port artist yourself!) Again I wouldn't even care if he wasn't a great artist. I've seen some random loli artist take the same stances on Twitter and didn't really give a shit.

I'd honestly be 100% fine with the stance of "yeah just don't plaster that all over in public" but everything is a dumbass slippery slope now. If influential conservatives came out and said "we need to get rid of sexual content in public" I wouldn't think that's too suspicious *in a vacuum*, but given who it's coming from OBVIOUSLY there's more to it. I'm not gonna make an exception for SWERF/radfem types cuz the JCP adopted them.
>>26565
Then again, Otokogumi's Tetsu Kariya is very old and is involved with Norikoenet, which seems to roll with these general puritanical views, so maybe that makes my theory go to shit. On the other hand he's like 83 years old, probably joined them for anti-racist/anti-imperialist reasons (he's been a hardcore "fuck the emperor" guy for eons and made multiple works about it), and the last tweet Norikoenet has about him is from 8 freaking years ago, so I dunno if he's actually invested in this subject. Himasora Akane supporters like to call him a hypocrite for being involved, but does he even have the strength left to do what Yamamoto Yohane did? Does he even KNOW what the fuck is going on with regards to stupid culture war shit?

>>26575
I disagree with the idea that it's IMPOSSIBLE to remain that way but it's very rare to find people who truly, genuinely stand by it and don't end up making exceptions for stupid behavior as long as it comes from the side they're more inclined towards. Even if they exist they largely will keep quiet and not get involved with public discourse - those who do are EXTREMELY rare. You probably need to have a more than slightly unusual brain to always call things out no matter what, and in the end you'll just end up looking like this guy to most people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb5rHthCXoA - I should know. Joe Rogan is a pretty good example of that. You don't NEED to move to the right if you're becoming disillusioned with the modern left but it's pretty clear that's what's going on.

I also think "centrist" is kind of a misnomer. As shown by the Yamamoto Yohane example from earlier you can be a full-blown Marxist and still criticize misguided ideas on your side. But again you probably need to be more than a little autistic to not "go with the flow" and always be critical. But I also think people like that are important.

>>26579
>d say the "trad" conservatives who do their own deranged crybullying are the new SJWs, not the ones who oppose censorship of erotic content
I was being ironic.

>>26580
>Even if they exist they largely will keep quiet and not get involved with public discourse - those who do are EXTREMELY rare.
Well, we're still here, anon. Even with the influx of both conservative and radlib posters on this site, I still oppose both wokeness and conservatism equally, even if it's a chore to do. I even oppose Z posters here which is almost anathema. There is still enough pushback on this particular site, although I understand how it becomes harder and harder with each and every day, as I am more afraid of conflicts or getting my words misinterpreted or getting called a reactionary or a NATO shill (I hate both reactionaries and NATO). If it keeps happening I might leave but I don't think this imageboard is at its lowest state yet, it's probably one of the only places where we can even have these types of arguments still (which explains the low popularity of the "both sides are bad" position).
>As shown by the Yamamoto Yohane example from earlier you can be a full-blown Marxist and still criticize misguided ideas on your side.
That's why I said "cultural centrism" instead of "economic." Tbh, it's not necessary to be a cultural centrist to oppose culture warriors (post-leftists are a good example), it's just the next best thing for people who aren't really politically and philosophically educated.

>i can see articles going back to 2003 in the red flag calling for some form of AV regulation

Did their articles around 2003 say "we need to ban all of it"? The porn industry is known for being abusive as hell so "some form of regulation" is a good thing. The problem with PAPS is they don't differentiate between abusive practices and the idea that porn in and of itself, whether it's an abusive corporation, Onlyfans-tier stuff or just posting images on Twitter.

Also for what it's worth, she denied that she was the mastermind behind it all https://x.com/KazukoIto_Law/status/1234512691470860288

they're not weird. they're like right wingers anywhere else in the world: hypocrites

Main takeaway from this thread is that leftists desperately need to stop being annoying moralists and driving away people with major cultural cache no matter how icky we may find them.
This of course is never going to happen.

i dont disagree but saying this in a thread about artists is funny, like theres anything to be gained in bothering with them as a communist

>>26740
I'm not so stupid as to think we can win just by having the artists on our side, but we're talking about people who produce stuff that gets seen by literal millions, often tens of millions; that's not nothing. Zero percent of communism has been built, we gain more from having these people as propagandists than from trying to ban drawings of big titty women.

>>26742
lol propaganda. every idiot here always places ideas before reality. and quoting a fucking video game?

before i get the usual reply theres a huge difference between IRL agitating and educating proletarians who are already mobilizing and vaguely leftoid media made by and for the middle class. morons always want to pat themselves in the back for doing irrelevant shit because their class position makes them completely impotent

>>26743
>and quoting a fucking video game?
A quote you recognized :^)
>every idiot here always places ideas before reality
And everyone who pretends to have read Marx thinks proles will automatically become revolutionary when the right time comes and no effort is needed to persuade or direct them, after all they'll be "already mobilizing". Guess we'll just see how that works out!

>>26730
>Just how involved is she with the JCP really?
She is VP of Human rights now! https://hrn.or.jp/eng/about/board-members/, the president is Niikura Osamu, who is more closely linked with the JCP, endorses them, and does seminars for them. Both are apart of the attorney associations IADL and JALISA, you'll see all their names sat right beside rows of JCP members if you look up any petition letter from them directed at the government. You'll just find anyone associated with the tokyo attorney bar linked with the JCP. It's no coincidence the same politician she met with made the call to ban it a few days after the meeting or perhaps it's the NGO that should shoulder the blame

He has been travelling china for the past for years championing the uyghur issue, he's really invested into it and I'm not sure if norikoenet cares for it or not

I don't think it's just Fukumoto at all. Rieko Saibara seems to have… a LOT of pull, and loves to promote her husband. Even happily posed at Yasukuni Shrine with him https://x.com/katsuyatakasu/status/897314859414466561 (for a little bonus, check out the Japanese people getting mad at him in the quote-tweets for uh… being a fake far-right grifter who's not treating the trip seriously enough & not honoring the glorious WW2 heroes properly; they seem madder than the leftists shitting on the tweet hilariously enough!)

As for the aforementioned "pull", just look at all the authors listed here, willing to contribute to a project that regularly promotes Takasu including Fujiko Fujio A, Hagio Moto, Makoto Kobayashi (the What's Michael guy, we already know the mech guy heils Hitler but he WASN'T there), Takashi Murakami, Hisashi Eguchi, Takashi Yanase, George Morikawa, Keiko Takemiya, Chica Umino, Tomoko Ninomiya, Tooru Fujisawa, and many oth- wait, fucking Naoki Yamamoto was there? Holy shit! https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07KND8PRB

What's more, one of the main hosts of the drawing events this book series covers (where her husband was often present) is… Shinjuku Loft Plus One. I assumed Loft Project were pretty hard left as an open secret given their support of Masao Adachi, but it looks like they were fine hosting Takasu at the very least between 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huxsq7228dI&ab_channel=kaijijiji337 and 2014 https://natalie.mu/comic/news/130217

By the way, Adachi's Revolution+1 event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0oMt3bsDCc took place in the exact same room.

Now you might say, "Didn't Takasu go far right around 2015-17?" - not really! He announced his love of Hitler on his blog aaaaaaalllll the way back in 2008 (earlier than what Japanese Wikipedia acknowledges), then elaborated further upon it in two future posts in 2009 to make sure you know he wasn't doing it a bit, including a post with the extremely subtle dogwhistle title of "Heil Hitler":
https://ameblo.jp/drtakasu/entry-10129011524.html
https://ameblo.jp/drtakasu/entry-10325631939.html
https://ameblo.jp/drtakasu/entry-10325803640.html

Then, also before that final Loft event, he made a shitload of fucking tweets about Hitler as if the deal needed to be further sealed. Someone even put a bunch of them together as a "hey, this guy is a pretty big fan of Hitler" statement so there was already drama over it. Again note Masao Adachi affiliates Loft Project platformed him AFTER said drama.

Does this mean the manga/anime industry is full of secret nazis, including Rieko's friends who built a left-wing image for themselves? Honestly I doubt it, about as much as I doubt supporters of Nobuhiro Watsuki (or those who simply kept silent about his immense number of supporters) all collect child porn or have sex with children. I think it's more likely that politeness & desire to not rock the boat overrides dunking on a well-established industry friend for marrying & constantly promoting a neo-nazi (or even just refusing to be involved with a project where she featured him heavily). Make of that what you will.

>>28414
So… this guy is some openly nazi worshipping surgeon from what i could find and he seems to be very friendly with mangaka cause his wife is a popular kids mangaka? even in trumps america you would be ostracized for that shit tbh, japan is just built dif. Also that twitter account is still updating!

>>28417
Seems more like "everyone ignored their friend's husband thought Hitler was a superhero and she'd obviously been picking up his views" lol. But apparently there's been controversy of her abusing her daughter around 2022 so maybe that caused extra backlash? Still, something really hilarious about the people who funded Masao Adachi's "the guy who killed Shinzo Abe was a hero, fuck this sick country" movie also hosting this nazi guy at one of their famous venues for 5 years while he was constantly tweeting & blogging "Hitler was a stand up guy".

Though I'd say a lot of the media & entertainment industry ignoring Taki Mag & the circles around it is a pretty close America equivalent.

>>28439
This guy posted more, showing how a bunch of JP/KR speaking youtubers are right wing so anyone in Japan trying to learn more about Korea is solely getting introduced through a right lens

>>28440
Yeah, I read into it and the 2 youtubers she mentions weren't Japanese… but popular right-wing Korean YouTubers?? And she is literally a big part of the Japanese government's cool Japan campaign(like Anno Hideaki) so she's always been involved with rw affairs, so this isn't some abrupt and new thing from her. I did learn Akio Otsuka(voice actor for Japanese Metal Gear Solid Snake) and Ayana Taketatsu share very similar views.

>>28439
>>28440
Well first of all which mangaka did that? I really don't give a shit about voice actors' views since they don't impact the actual narrative content of a work; good directors with a strong vision will make them do what benefits the ideas already set in stone.

Second I don't think the problem is them being "tricked" it's that people are emotional and stupid so after seeing a lot of annoying left-leaning people online they're easily converted to spiteful right-wing views. I know Jeffrey has been obnoxiously culture warry before, like equating Tezuka's leftism to disrespectful US localizer practices to defend the latter (despite that Tezuka dunked on scoldy white people multiple times & had to deal with insane US localizers for the Jungle Emperor anime). So it's like, yeah she's a stereotypical asshole Japanese nationalist but guys like him helped give gaijins & leftists unlikable optics in the mainstream.

rurouni kenshinss mangaka is a pedophile

oofskie, Megumi Ogata covering for her, certainly a vibe shift from American VA political leanings and Japanese ones
>>28445
Japanese are more lenient on pedophilia than xenophobia and racism

>>28445
Dude got caught with so much cp they though he was making it and just got a fine
Then someone mangaka invited him to his kids birthday party right after that
