I just watched a video by a Youtuber who goes by the name “The Anime Man”, who did a rant about his feelings on the Yuri on Ice, that anime’s fujoshi-dominated fandom, and how it is overrated. So far, so good… Right?
So I thought.
That is, until the moment he started recommending animes he thought were “better LGBT representation” than YOI or something along those lines. Among those, a title stuck to me: Papa to Kiss in the Dark.
Knowing what I know about anime, the “Papa” part in the title struck me as a giant red flag, so I decided to google it. Surprise surprise, it’s an anime where, according to the sinopsis, a freshman teen and his father have a “secret affair” (Read: They have sex) together and the teen angst about it until he discovers he was adopted or something. (So just because he wasn’t his biological father all is good? WTF)
The guy recommended pedophilic incest porn and called it “Good LGBT Representation”
Let me repeat that:
This guy recommended PEDOPHILIC INCEST PORN and called it “Good LGBT Representation”.
The video is now 1 Month old, so I’m late to the party. But please, can someone tell if he apologized for such a thing, or something?
I’m not making this a Callout Post, because I really don’t know if this guy is really a pedo/pedophile apologist or just really, really, REALLY stupid. But if anyone here is a fan of him or has started to watch his videos, I would take his anime recommendations with a grain of salt. Just… What the actual fuck.
Tagging more people, because I really want more Anti’s opinion on this. Am I overreacting? :
Lesbian film Rafiki has shattered box office records in Kenya – after a government ban was lifted for one week only.
The lesbian love story from director Wanuri Kahiu debuted to international acclaim at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but the film was banned in its home country after state censors took exception to the “homosexual” themes.
Under Academy Awards rules, submissions to the Best Foreign Language
Film category “must be first released in the country submitting it… and
be first publicly exhibited for at least seven consecutive days in a
commercial motion picture theater.”
The film is now again banned in the country, following the end of the
seven-day exemption – but in a final humiliation for state media
censors, it was revealed that the film dominated the country’s box
office in the period it was released.
Rafiki was the top performing film in Kenya for the week it was unbanned, edging out major Hollywood blockbusters The Nun and Night School.
The film grossed more than $33,000 in its week of release, with more than 6,500 tickets sold.
The start of the film was greeted by raucous applause at screenings,
while the crowds “laughed and booed” at the logo of the Kenya Film
Classification Board—the body that suppressed its release.
The re-imposed ban makes it an offence to even own a copy of the film in the country.
Canon Nathalie: I’m upset that someone I care about didn’t give up being a villian, but if doing this to bring back his wife and the mother of a child I also care about will make him happy and allow him to be with his family again then I’ll support him on his choice and see him through it.
