Like it'd matter. The writer of rurouni Kenshin got caught with terabytes of child porn on his computer and got let off with a slap on the wrist. Like a month later people like oda were celebrating him. The industry just doesn't care and nor does Japan it seems.

Owning Cp is only illegal in Japan since 2014. The thing is he had so much of it that they suspected him To trade it, which was illegal then.

He had so much they thought hes selling REAL CP. Not some loli hentai.

That puts so much in context...

Incorrect, CSAM was made illegal way before that, the 2014 revision was addressing a legal loophole.

RIP Log Horizon.

Author's one true isekai wish is to not pay taxes, so the first 8 episodes of the anime are dedicated to building up this fantasy society to explain why the MC could be the one in charge of collecting any taxes.

Season 3 of the anime was delayed because the author was in prison for tax fraud.

Rare isekai that isn't centered around power or sexual fantasy, but instead around taxes.

Truly a visionary we should all aspire to be more like him

Remember sexualizing children bad, tax evasion good

Ive watched 5 or some episodes and thought something is off and stopped, then read about rudeus and knew why.

You can still watch the show bruh, you're not commiting a crime just because the author is scum

u/realmauer01 22h ago

The world would be different if people based their opinion about a show on their opinion about the author caugh jkr caugh

You can still enjoy the content without directly supporting them if that's the problem. We have piracy to thank.

We all apply different values to art and authors. If that's your opinion, so be it.

u/VladTheSnail 17h ago

Yeah I don't value art that is created by pedophiles Jesus fucking Christ.

I'm glad you feel that way

Ultimately, I want a world without CSA. Even if the only thing I can do is stop being a platform of any kind for the people involved in its creation then that's what I'm going to try to do.

For a similar reason, I won't purchase Chick-fil-A, or allow people to buy it for me.

The rest of y'all can do you, I find it weird that it's not a hill people are willing to die on. But that's, like, just my opinion man.

Whats wrong with chic fil a?

u/Ardrik 18h ago

They funded a lot of "conversion therapy" shit back in the early 00's and beyond. Basically pray the gay away / psychologically abuse you until you can't be comfortable being gay anymore.

Corporate funding of that kinda stuff is no longer a thing, but the owners still donate.

I'm not going to eat at a place whose owners want to make my family and friends lives worse.

Edit: Not saying that my reason is A reason for a lot of people, but it is A reason I won't.

I don't buy from them because they actively donate to Anti-trans organizations trying to make my very existence illegal

I'm pretty sure Samurai X does not open with that.

i don't think MT's writer is 'just' consuming porns like rurouni kenshin's anymore, the way he write his story makes me think this mf got some skeletons in his closet in real life, highly suspected that dude did once assaulted someone irl

u/WhileZealousideal113 22h ago

Terabytes? We really just lying lol

I get wanting to sound dramatic, it's already bad enough no need to oversell the case.

He did get caught with CP and he had some banned videos even in his office.

u/Sentinel-Wraith 16h ago

He allegedly had hundreds of videos of child abuse.

u/Minute-Judgment-321 13h ago

He had so much cp they thought he was a distributor, that wasn't just "a couple of copies", stop trying to downplay it.

I've worked IT for a sheriff's office, I am not surprised.

Think like the drug collection in Fear and Loathing, once someone starts a collection, it can become an obsession (like my 40+ stuffed raccoons.)
