>Animator Ikuo Geso (known for key animation on Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Kill la Kill, and other titles) has posted comments defending Tatsuya Matsuki, the former Act-Age writer convicted in 2020.>In his main post, Geso wrote:> “However, wanting manga artists to be pure, innocent, sacred, and spotless beings—the world has changed, hasn’t it? In a bad direction.”https://x.com/gesoikuo3/status/2028627550214468022>He also shared and amplified posts defending Matsuki and Shogakukan’s decision to allow him to work under a pseudonym for a Manga ONE series, which has since been suspended following backlash.
>>286488745Kill yourself, Chibi.
>>286488745>However, wanting manga artists to be pure, innocent, sacred, and spotless beings—the world has changed, hasn’t it?What if a manga artist is a whore
>>286488745Based defender of the Nihonese spirit, all these pearlclutching, soapboxing, moralfag authors need to stop trying to manufacture another metoo that will kill the industry
He's right. If the writer served the time for his crime, there's no reason to permanently blacklist him from the industry. Especially since his crime wasn't related to the job.
Correct, you think this leads to tranparency but it actually leads to hush hush bribes and so on
I think the way he said it is careless. It’s normal for people to not be around sexual assaulters. On the other hand, he fulfilled his obligations to society, so it’s only a question of whether or not being a mangaka is a position where he could be a danger to others. And of course you can also question whether his punishment was harsh enough in the first place, but that’s not on Matsuki
>>286489398The fact they didn't use his actual name's a bit fishy, tho.
> “However, wanting manga artists to be pure, innocent, sacred, and spotless beings—the world has changed, hasn’t it? In a bad direction.”lol whatMangaka can be perverted with ink on paper all they wanted. Don't bring that shit into real life.
>>286489481But can they be communists
>>286489398>If the writer served the time for his crimeFunny story about this>there's no reason to permanently blacklist him from the industryIf they actually had that kind of confidence, he wouldn't be under a pen name
>>286488745Why do other authors defend him? What is so special about this guy?
>>286489566He was living the dream
>>286489424That is the thing isn't it, he's paid his dept to society already.So is he not meant to work ever again?
>>286489614>he's paid his dept to society alreadyHe actually didn't do this
>>286489683Femoid hands wrote this
It is known that two manga artists under Shogakukan have been arrested for rape, and Shogakukan is deliberately protecting these two criminals, even assisting one of them to change his pen name and return to manga creation.Shogakukan has also bullied a manga artist, leading to the latter's suicide.I suspect that many high-ranking executives at Shogakukan have criminal records, meaning they have incriminating evidence against each other, causing Shogakukan to spare no effort in protecting these criminal manga artists. They are undoubtedly a cancer in the manga industry.
>>286489777More like tranny hands.
man showing themselves to be in support of pedophiles is gonna do wonders for this controversy. PR masterclass.
>>286489434>If you don't use your real name is le fishy>But if you reveal it we cancel you in a massive twitter meltdown What does xitter tard mean by this?
Is it that fucking hard to not be a pedophile?
Why’s he getting ratio’d so hard
>>286489905Who is this tard quoting?
>>286489905The deception is the issue. Watsuki came back with his actual name, and as a result it wasn't as controversial as this whole ordeal was.
>>286489852seriously, just distance yourself from this and draw/write. what are they thinking lmao
>>286489361Not being a child predator is apparently "moralfagging" now. Gee, it's almost like MeToo happened for a damn good reason.
>>286489777you are defending a pedo with scat fetish btw
>>286488745There are unforgivable crimes; he knew what he was doing, he knew how fatal for his career it could be, but he did it because he's a sinful animal. He wouldn't stop; he would hide his crimes better next time
Noooooooooooo!!!! You have to be part of the #metoo against all mangaka!!!! Twitter strong!!!!! Oda where's oda!!!! I'm cancelling Idea for being le pedo!!!!!! Meeee meeeee all is about and my feelings!!!!!
>>286489823How much money do ya'll wanna bet that Shokugan shows up in the unredacted Epstein files?
>>286488745He suffered the consequences of his actions.He can work now.Simple as.
>>286490230Noooooooooooo!!!! You should support any breathing scum on this planet just to stay in your position of principled contrarian!!!
>>286489852>>286489913This scandal has really made me question if the "they're just drawings" argument still holds any validity because the anime/manga industry is clearly revealing itself to be a giant pedophile ring. Even the people who aren't guilty of anything are unusually comfortable working with these people. Makes you wonder how many of their doujins are based on their crimes. I fear that what Gaou did is not an isolated incident.
>>286489303FPBP
>>286490270The odds of that are fairly low because the American deep state set up a parallel system in Japan. The most infamous "tiger's tail" for this system is the network of brainwashing cults of the sort that Abe was assassinated for his own connections. Do you think these cults just milk people for money? No, they take girls from families. Just think of Senjougahara's story, that's a terrifyingly common occurrence, except of course in the real world it's rarely reported and stopped. Murakami's novel 19Q4 is another good reference for starting to see the underbelly in Japan.
Simply put I like the artist, his work naturally makes his life and person way more important than some bitch who has never done anything for me. He should get work and she should kill herself. I don't care for some bitch who has made shit worse for me personally.
>>286490359Stop samefag spamming. Nobody is falling for it.
>still misusing the term pedophiliaLook it up and how it's formally defined.Instead of using the term "pedophilia" I suggest you use "male".
Why are am*ricans so desperate to find some other pedos instead of persecuting their own?
>>286490186Rape is between you and the law, not you and the manga industry. If you're some third party butting into this when it doesn't concern you, you are literally moralfagging and demanding the industry be harmed for reasons completely unrelated to manga
>>286490322So right sis! Time to cancel oda and all mangaka to pay for their sins!!! The WHOLE manga industry needs to fall and be destroyed!!! Slaaaaaay queeen!!!
If you want to cancel pedophiles, why aren't you nuking Tel Aviv already?
>>286490546Oh my dear Weinstein-Epstain, science and cinemad died without you!
>>286490580Yeah movies are shit without weinstein
>>286490529>If you're some third partyLike a consumer who would be paying for the product, or choosing not to pay for a product made by a disgusting predator
>>286490602I support people who make products I like.
>>286490600They were shit long before him, he just used the system promote the sloppy shit of his friends and other pedos like Miyazaki
>>286490624And other consumers have other criteria for who they support, thus why the company knew they had to hide his name because consumers wouldn't want to support him
>>286490282I think the problem isn't even the dude himself but rather the fact they chose to cover up the whole thing.To be caught cheating is worse than the act of cheating itself, or something like that.
>>286490580Nooooooo we can't put Epstein clients in jail because they're powerful and we don't do that sis!!! We need to go against the industry!!! Burn it to the ground!!! We're stupid bitches who can't not go against the system!!
>>286490655They were less shit thanks to him casting actually attractive women, now they are irredeemable shit and should be cancelled, especially all that star blacks and browns.
>>286490359All this shit is the fault of the cunnygers. They're the reason why I'm never open to talking about loli stuff, apart from the fact that it's my comfort zone. They always end up violating them in debates. Loli was ALWAYS A NICHE, something nice to see, my comfort zone, and the idiots at the ATF and the Filipinos turned it all into a fucking LARP, bringing it to the fucking public with their fucking whining, making us look bad.fuck this faggots
>>286490661Numbers needed. Not the first time a shitty loud minority makes someone lose money by making them scared for no reason.
>>286488745>Ikuo GesoDidn't this nigga get bullied out of the industry by based TRIGGER?
I'm out of the loop what is this
>>286490602So you were enjoying his product until you discovered who he was? Disgusting piggy aren't you sure you're not just a pedi just like the guy?
>>286490718new LWA season when?I need to see yurifags cry in despair.
>>286490715You're seeing the scandal they were trying to avoid happen in real time lol/vpol/ tourists are so retarded
>>286488745The idiot just outed himself as a sex offender lel>> “However, wanting manga artists to be pure, innocent, sacred, and spotless beings—the world has changed, hasn’t it? In a bad direction.”This retard doesn't understand that no matter how degen one's taste in 2D may be, the majority of otaku stick to 2D only.
>>286490794Repeat after me: twitter drama does not reflect reality.
>>286490499Because you're on /a/, tourist.
>>286490709Was the Act-Age writer even a lolicon in the 2D sense? Seems like you're clutching your pearls over the wrong thing.I think the issue is that this controversy is very western-coded, and the western art industry is a dead industry, soon to be entirely replaced by AIslop, so Japan should not be emulating them.As it is, they should have just used his real name, stated that he served his time and that so long as he didn't re-offend he'd be offered the chance to redeem himself, and ignored all the westerners complaining on the internet, as they're probably AI anyways.The real fuck-up here was trying to hide his identity.
>>286490879https://www.polygon.com/shogakukan-yamamoto-scandal-manga-one-sexual-assault-minor/After the news emerged, several manga authors spoke up publicly to criticize Shogakukan, including One, the author of One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100, the latter of which was published by Shogakukan. Many authors who have their works available on the Manga One app decided to have them removed, including Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha), Kanehito Yamada (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End), and Ryuhei Tamura (Cosmos)
I wonder how much of this thread is just one guy playing both sides, many of the posts have similar stilted language that genuinely looks nothing like the average thread on /a/, even the pseudogenerals have more eloquence in the average post than these threads.
>>286490936>served his time He didn't serve any time though. His got a suspended sentence.
Why do people even care about the personal life of mangaka?Literally who tf cares, i just read their art
>>286490940See what I said about stupid companies panicking, add authors if they did it of their idea.
>>286490936>this controversy is very western-codedNo, it isn't. The only way you could think so is if you know nothing about Japanese culture and the social stigma placed on criminals. This is a country where talents have their entire careers end over drug possession.
>>286490972Anon, Japan isn't America, "serving your time" doesn't mean "getting assraped and terrorised in prison for 3 years over carrying a few grams of weed."He was tried, convicted, sentenced, and served out his sentence.
>>286491015So he's back drawing manga, right? He should be drawing manga again.
>>286488745>2D (legal) loli = untouchable>3D child molesters = PunishmentThis is the finest line, and whoever pushes it further is of the Epstein class and a saboteur of Otaku culture.
>>286490940>Linking Polygon>Not even the right controversy, this one is about an actual child rapist who raped a student of his, made her eat shit, and had her walk in public with vibrators shoved into her pussyAlright, this is 100% a tourist thread, no point in continuing here.
I'm literally shaking right now. We live in such a dark world. Where mangaka road free like animals ready to rape you on a whim.
>>286491074The point is that isn't just "twitter drama," this scandal of covering up for predators has had real consequences for the company
>>286491015Wait so the controversy is because someone who has paid their debt to society is allowed to work as an artist again? Is that it? This is why I hate leftists, pieces of shit want someone to suffer forever worse then christian preachers. Ewww.
>>286491139>reee I hate leftists because they don't want to let pedophiles and rapists into their communities
>>286491181Did he even rape?Is there evidence?
>>286491181It's not your community, and if you were sincere you would kick AIPAC out of US poltics. That said, he's a free man and he has the right to work as a mangaka without being harassed by schizos like you.
Reminder that these off-topic shitpost threads are mod-approved to destroy /a/ further.
>>286491247>It's not your communityIt's not your community, /vpol/ tourist>>286491289They're mod-approved because banning all /vpol/ tourists would make it a ghost board with no posts
>>286491014>This is a country where talents have their entire careers end over drug possessionWhich is more of an unforgivable crime than molesting random schoolkids. What a society lol. To be honest, I want his victims to go full Tetsuya Yamagami on his ass one day. Would be funny to watch and witnessing the collective pants-shitting on social media by the stealth sex offenders in the industry would be even funnier.
>>286491383>I want his victims to go full Tetsuya Yamagami on his ass one day. Would be funny to watch and witnessing the collective pants-shitting on social media by the stealth sex offenders in the industry would be even funnier.This actually sounds like a fun premise for a manga
>>286491383Thanks to your comment, I hope they get beaten to death
>>286491014kek this It's like a fucking kid addicted to video games saying to his mother, ‘Hey, at least I'm not a drug addict,’ after spending five hours playing minecraft.
>>286489823>Shogakukan has also bullied a manga artist, leading to the latter's suicide.they should do this with Matsuki
>>286490199the shitrapist is a different person than the bike groper. Throw the shitrapist in a sealed box and toss it in the ocean, the other guy should not have been using a pen name instead of just being hired.
>>286491289>>286491315It's on topic because hundreds of mangaka cried about it and threatened to pull or end their series
>>286492424they should have done this with your mom when she was pregnant with you
>>286489434It's not his actual name. People using different pen names isn't unusual.

Why is the Ippo mangaka under fire now
>>286492684He is a senile coward who wanted to enter the fray without burning himself just to get some brownie points and ended up pissing everyone.
>>286492684Heroically defended and sympathized with the two reformed gentlemen
>>286492732>>286492786truly Sunday's Oda
>>286492439That one was because of another criminal.The one that made everyone horrified was a rapist who humilliated his student and even made her eat his shit.Act-Age author groped underaged girls and him working again was revealed after the previous scandal. Both are criminals, but one is way worse than the other.
>>286492684Said the victim accusation was falsehttps://x.com/i/status/2028486306842763435Then tried apologizing but japs thought it was a "sorry for the inconvenences" type of apologythen told them to shut up
It seems like there were plenty of IRL 3D pedos in /a/ like Reddit, well this is Shogakukan's (and the future industry as a whole) ordeal that shouldn't be left with loose ends. The industrial insiders are already making voices such as ONE and Inio.
>>286488745>aifag is propedowow
>>286489303Snob pls
>>286489398You say that like he got into a bar fight or dodged taxes. Anyone convicted of sexually assaulting a child should not be allowed to have a public platform. That also includes all the American and Israeli pedos who roam free. Japan shouldnt be like them and im glad their people are speaking out in defense of their children.
>>286493378Nah. If one is a great artist, I want to keep enjoying and supporting his works.
>>286489630Yes he did.
>>286493457Well yeah, you're an immoral parasite, but normal people don't want sexual predators in their communities at all
>>286491015If he had smoked a weed he would still be in prison. And blacklisted forever.
>>286493457Well he can make shit on his own website then and post his stories there and you can go suck his anus as a thank you.
>>286493503I ain't the one seething with irrational hatred at a free man who has paid his debt to society and has the right to be part of it again. Please kys.
>>286493559Nah, I like owning published physical books.
>>286493378>>286493503The silent majority would much rather welcome a reformed sex offender into society than a bar thug or tax parasite (see: POTUS)
>>286489398Naw, it is related. Now everytime you read his work you'll know that the true purpose of the story is about his desire to fuck little piggies.
>>286493612>I support good artists being integrated back into society and peacefully doing the work they love after justice has run its course>you are an israeli for thatWeird, considering how bloodthirsty those people are on Iran.
>>286489566He's the epstein of shokakugan. If matsuki's gone, they'll lose the road to have sex with children.
>>286493652
>>286493618k, not a problem
>>286493612Everyone you see defending a sexual predator is himself a sexual predator. They do this gaslighting because they know that their continued existence hinges on deluding the masses into not immediately hanging them all.
>>286490956He's the same anon from act age. I dunno, dude seems to worship the author for some reason.
>>286493684>blueskyDoes he know?
>>286493685it made things very boring and predictable.
>>286493691You truly need your meds. I guess this whole E thing traumatized you burgers.
>>286493652Not that anon, but the author isn't the artist.So you don't even know the things that you're posting about.Interesting.
>>286493754My bad, I can see why you are confused. I'm using artist as in a person who creates art, not just as someone who draws.
>>286488745I don't know what the animator is trying to say but criminals who did their sentence should be able to come back to society.I don't like the idea of popular justice that comes in after the actual sentence and actively hinders this guy's life until his death.I also keep seeing the argument that, considering their crimes, they shouldn't be able to be part of any industry that target children but I don't see how them specifically being part of the manga industry as authors endanger the kids.That being said, i do think that the sentences these authors were wrist slaps but that's more of an issue with the law itself rather what i was talking about.
>>286493813>I don't like the idea of popular justice that comes in after the actual sentence and actively hinders this guy's life until his death.The consequence of being an evil piece of shit is that no one wants to associate with you except other criminalsAll communities are free to gatekeep predators

>>286493799>retard who knows nothing about the topic making excuses
>>286493932You don't have any communities, you're a bandwagon jumping tourist with no friends. That's why all you can do is complain that normal people in our communities do not tolerate trash like you.
>>286493900Do you really have nothing better to do than to shitpost /a/ about this topic all day?You're too obvious. You have to go back.
>>286493960>normal people in our communitiesWhich communities are you talking about?
>>286493457In this case he wasnt a great artist, he wrote ok drama but the main pull was always the artist being great at drawing expressions.
>>286493945I know, I should have left you to your reading comprehension problems. But I'm a nice guy like that.
>>286493975You tourists keep making these threads to bring your twitter drama here, you're the ones that need to go back
>>286494017What is this retarded post? You got basic facts wrong, and your excuses are shit.
>>286494053>he doesn't think written works can be artSad!
>>286494043You're the obvious tourist. Nobody here uses words like "community" to describe /a/ or 4chan.It's obvious that your side keeps making these threads to spam bullshit don't find in normal threads.
>>286489566He is actually talented. Look at state of Jump since he was fired. Kiyoshi, Gonron,...
>>286494095Nobody uses artist for a manga writer exactly because the confusion with the actual artist is too obvious.

>>286494191You are the /v/ whiner with a flimsy ego appealing you are somewhat old but it has nothing to do with your weak ass terminally online self-indulgence. It is quite a fork road here especially at this time, whether animanga is a real 3D pedo predator haven or a freedom of expression with a firm moral standard. The Japanese mangaka association is radio silent now but soon they will sooner or later make a statement, for the Japanese people are expecting it now too.
>>286494592>animanga
>>286494574Shut up Chibi you midget cuck
Remember: for Japanese companies, it is always morally and ethically correct to pirate their ass especially when it comes to anime and manga

>>286494804They don't and you can have dozens and dozens of spammed twitter screencap threads without ever seeing me because I don't ban evade like all the /vpol/ tourists. It's fairly likely I'll get banned again for gatekeeping in this thread too.
>>286494804I actually do not know desu, he has a habit of going on tirades the second a thread gets a little political and he often wants it to get political because he's obsessed with politics. He also will samefag and try to bait you if you call him out. However it's possible that he either is a jannies or he posts so much that his traffic is valuable for revenue maybe. He also ban evades too.

>>286494657Sissy ass bitch you are
>>286494151Come on, no one ITT is talking about the chick who draws.
>>286492493>"I'm a pedantic motherfucker" awardYou know what I meant, anon.>People using different pen names isn't unusual.Most writers don't have the criminal record Matsuki has anon.Trying to use another pen name can easily be seen as deceptive by people, especially who don't want to support him.
Someone needs to take one for the team and start slamming roll threads in these threads now. The first couple discussing this shit was okay, but now it's gone overboard
>>286489424I agree with you but shouldn't readers also be allowed to know who they're supporting to make that choice for themselves? Hiding under a new pen name just seems like it's asking for a controversy to happen.
>>286494928I agree he should have made a comeback under his own name like Nobuhiro Watsuki, so people could have told the haters to fuck right away.
>>286494892Ok, so you are him. I was wondering why your normalfaggottry sounded so similar. I don't know why you keep pretending to be an oldfag when you started posting on /a/ during Gcucks airing. Judy embarrassing
>>286488745>Acting all high and mighty when you're third-rate trash.The japanese are pretty brutal eh? kek
>>286489398He didn't serve any time. They suspended his sentence
>>286494892Why does complaining about normalfag media make someone a "/vpol/" tourist?That doesn't make sense at all.
>>286494970>I don't know why you keep pretending to be an oldfag when you started posting on /a/ during Gcucks airingThat's rather amusing projection since I've posted in the same style for years before Gqux. That's just when you happened to notice because you're a newfag.
This " commie schizo " guy almost feels like a parody of the /leftypol/ fifth column stereotype. I've never seen an /a/non look more like an obvious normalfag while accusing everyone else of being one
>>286494988He was on good behavior for the time requested to him by the law, that's serving his time according to the law.
>>286495025Nobody believes this larp, you really have to go back
>>286495044Bullshit
>>286495025>you have to know the schizo (you) or you're a newfagThat is very amusing. I for one wasn't even in any gundam threads in recent years.>>286495034Indeed, same shit different color.
>>286495124>I for one wasn't even in any gundam threads in recent years.Of course not, you're a newfag who jumped on the band wagon a year ago
Oh yeah I guess I'll mention one last thing before I go /a/nons, the commie schizo gets more angry and more schizophrenic the more you call him out while ignoring his replies. Do it enough and he will do something pretty funny itt.
This topic ran its course a week ago, now for something more useful and more /a/ related. Time to roll
>>286495193rollin
>>286495153I didn't watch any recent Gundam either.>newfagOK, when did you start browsing /a/? What was the first anime you watched with /a/?
>>286490718QRD on that?
>>286495193You're gonna get banned for that (and probably anyone who responds) while the thread will continue for days, necrobumped by our new schizo if necessary.
>>286495321Who knows, if you notice a bunch of posts get deleted but all the one with "vpol" in them stay. You will know whether or not jannies nuke the commie schizo or leave him.
>>286495355>2005, I think the first one I watched with /a/ was Haruhioh no no no
>>286495355You should have looked that up, because the first episode of Haruhi aired April 2006.
>>286495044The shit smearing pedo didn't serve any jail time either. It's an injustice
>>286495520What sort of problem do you think this causes?
>Haruhi>2005>/a/Dude this is hilarious lol, has to be the worst oldfag larp ever. Normalfag leftists on /a/, not even once
>>286495355Don't (You) my roll post with your retardation commie schizo.

>>286490600Weinstein’s films were formulaic slop, stop talking about media you clearly know nothing about
>>286495193Rolling
>>286489398>blacklistIs that a suitable word for these sorts of situations?If the readers don't want to give their money to a sex criminal and the other mangaka don't want to work for the same company, is that "blacklisting"?Second chances should exist, but you can't really force people to just accept and forgive. Freedom of conscience; people have the right to be angry and complain.
>>286494941The problem is he's kind of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Use a new penname to distance himself from his past, and make it easier for his publisher and artist to work with him, and he gets blasted for deception when it comes out. Use the same name as before, and people will be forever bringing it up like people still bring up that Toriko's mangaka paid 16-year old hookers for sex. Or worse begin smearing your colleagues as pedos like people are now doing for Watsuki.
>>286488745https://www.shogakukan.co.jp/news/477332>the Matsuki news is realDamn, and I thought OP was making shit up. I still miss Act-age, but the idiot blew it big-time.
>>286496238>people will be forever bringing it up like people still bring up that Toriko's mangaka paid 16-year old hookers for sexSo what? Don't be a predator if you don't want to be known as a predator and shunned by society.

>>286497770You claim you came here in 2005. Surely you do know that /a/ turned against such casual internet speak ages ago, because they associated it with how normalfag talked.
>>286488745>Animator Ikuo GesoOh...that's the guy that fired the only good BLEACH TYBW's animator https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/276436416>one of the best bleach animation directors got fired and made a big fuss about it on his x account>many animators commented on the situation, particularly famous animator ikuo geso who said "Someone who reports being fired and mentions the title of a work deserves to be fired. Even if they don't mention the title, the person who reports being fired still deserves to be fired," which made him seethe>he retaliated by claiming he had permission from the studio before announcing it and called geso and others ignorant, effectively making himself an enemy of many fellow animatorsGeso is a fucking nepobaby, jesus
>>286495281He was directing GRIDMAN. Geso Ikuo then said that Gridman is literally an anime made for Idiots.You can guess the rest. He was already blacklisted from other studies for talking shit.
>>286491104>The point is that isn't just "twitter drama," this scandal of covering up for predators has had real consequences for the companyDon't expect /a/ to care about scandals anymore. Old /a/ died with Kyoani's arson.

>>286498980>I’d place the shift around 2012-2015I should blame Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0 then. That shit movie attracted the normalfags here.
>>286499065The “blame” goes to social media banning losers who came to 4chan to replace the original userbase
>>286499270nta but not really, you can say all the slurs/wish people death/be a pedophile/ be a genuine Nazi/antifa/terroristic calls etc on twitter/Tiktok/Discord nowadays and it's considered acceptable. Only way you get banned now is by just posting real pizza. Honestly most anons that can be a little crazy on 4chan are pretty tame in comparison to the new users on SNS.
>>286497824>after the ashes of Disney and PopeyeYou mean after Milt Gross and the Fleishers.
>>286488745Fuck 'im. Matsuki threw his own career away. Nothing's stopping him from continuing to work as an artist and an illustrator, but being a mangaka, at least in magazines targeted at kids, is a privilege he squandered on his own when he laid hands on 3DPD children.>>286499065It was the combination of gamergays, the rise of phoneposting, and eventually the political tourists. This board has thankfully been the most resistant to that shit, but the rot has been persistent, and resistance isn't immunity. Just look how many anons are unaware of all the foundational artists and animators were involved in the Zengakuren movements through the 70's.
>>286499472>at least in magazines targeted at kidsGood thing he's not then
>>286499541Stop ban evading, you newfag tourist.
>>286488745I think perhaps it's not good for a manga publisher to rehire at least three different sex offenders under different names and attempt to buy the silence of at least one of their victims.Sure, forgiveness and reintegration is possible but not if Shogakukan can't be honest with their readers and their other mangaka.
>>286499618You're accusing everyone of this.
>>286499520Except that's exactly what happened. Even if its not shounen, psychologist of the stars isn't exactly R18. It's gotten put on indefinite hold now, so I suppose it doesn't really matter either way. Of course, this fuckup is on Shogakukan, and definitely puts the Yamamoto incident in pretty dire context. I wonder what the fuck the suits are doing.
>>286494810>>286494883>refused>Was never invited You're making Kubo out to be some loser anon considering the anniversary had tributes from people outside of Jump
>>286499898>tributes from people outside of JumpThis is not the gotcha You think It is.
>>286499931Actually it is because it proves that Kenshin is a big deal and Kubo not being a part of it wasn't a determent in fact nobody gave a fuck
>>286499898So Kubo was basically the Elon
>>286499931Why? Because it destroys your narrative?
>>286499667No, just (You).
>>286500024>your narrative?I'm a different anon.My fav mangaka never drew anything for this shit either.I can't help but see all of them as filthy bootlickers at best.
>>286500172>My fav mangaka never drew anything for this shit either.Because he's a nobody>I can't help but see all of them as filthy bootlickers at best.No that's you projecting hard. Imagining getting upset that artists are giving tributes to a series they like just because you have Watsuki Derangement Syndrome
>>286500172>My fav mangaka never drew anything for this shit either.Because they weren't invited not to make a hypothetical statement you made up to cope
>>286500222>Watsuki Derangement SyndromeBut I don't care about him. I'm here just telling you that this stuff feels astroturfed.It feels like the Frieren's perspective trend. You have both trend chasers and artists that care.
>>286500313>astroturfedHow? Its a fucking anniversary collab they do with every famous series
>>286500024Araki putting in a half-assed doodle instead of just saying no will always be hilarious.
>>286500373>How?7 Words: Jump and Oda's Inner Circle.>>286500439Araki's Inner Circle is the best. They cannot take this shit drama seriously.
>>286500222>Watsuki Derangement SyndromeThe fuck is this /pol/ shit doing here?
>>286501324You have WDS
>>286502417Are you actually defending a convicted pedophile to "get back" at the lefties? I can at least understand defending lolicon but are you seriously defending a convicted pedophile who supported an industry exploiting actual real minors? Are you stupid?
>>286502588Okay WDS, stop letting the pedos live rent free.
>>286502767Okay, so you really are just stupid.
>>286502806Anon stop having WDS
>>286502819Stupid /pol/tard.
>>286502889Stop it anon, the WDS only raises your blood pressure more.
>>286503076I'm sorry you got hit in the head and became chronically stupid from it, /pol/tard.
>>286503351Anon, just like an apple a day makes the doctor go away. Not having WDS makes the doctor go away.
>>286503499You're still an unironic idiot, /pol/tard.
>>286503531The WDS is warping your mind, stop it. I'm trying to save you from WDS.
>>286488745They still hid away his name. Its one thing if they were open about it, kids read manga so what would happen if one went to him again as a fan?For other crimes, it makes sense for it not to be worth mentioning because any fans are probably not going to be at risk of being victimized, but putting a sex offender into a job that will get him more access to people without at least letting people know you're vouching for the sex offender is too much, especially when the Act Age guy's new work was about therapy counseling. Something like that is going to attract the mentally weak and easily pushed.
>>286503690This applies to most of the industry, the biggest guy in the industry Oda is literally a closet pedophile and his buddies too. Many mangaka are cool with pedophiles.
>>286495988But it's not the readers that did this, was it? It was other artists taking a stand. Most readers would've just kept reading, blissfully unaware.
>>286496238>Use the same name as before, and people will be forever bringing it up like people still bring up that Toriko's mangaka paid 16-year old hookers for sexShouldn't that be fine?If the guy was okay with leaving kids with the memory of being groped for the rest of their lives, he should be fine with being called the groper for the rest of his.Its what he is, anyway. Its not like it'd kill him.
>>286490282Working as an author of a comic in a children's strand is a privilege, one that probably shouldn't granted to a person that repeatedly commited actual child sex offences after the fact. If he were genuinely reformed in the eyes of society, why the psuedonym?
In an interview with a newspaper, the unnamed victim said: "I won't forgive the disgusting sexually harassing mangaka or Shogakukan."
>>286503926>I can't believe you work at company X>They hired that guy who committed a crime once, shame on you!The logical conclusion to this is that if you want a company to hire you you will have to submit a complete video log of your entire life (from your rayban glasses) so that they can make sure you haven't done anything problematic. End result is that you have a permanent unemployable class who end up turning to crime as a way to make money.
>>286503871It was 2 mangaka, 10 others stood up an said they support him. So no, it was not some big revolt from mangaka.
>>286504002The extra batshit part is that this sort of cover up doesn’t seem to be offered to other types of criminal offenders. Everyone else gets the standard insane Japanese loathing of criminals, but the sex pests get brought in the back door again.
>>286503926>>286504083Yeah pretty much, the issue with your ideas as they are witch hunts that last forever. This in turn leads the perpetrator to instead of using a potential opportunity to improve and reintegrate into society, they will turn to crime and re offense over and over harming more people. The only logical conclusion then is to bring back the death penalty for these crimes and do it globally. However this now opens up a can of worms that society is essentially okay with execution by the state leading it to being a potential consequence for many other crimes and not just pedophiles. The only realistic solution is you allow reintegration into society. Witch hunts are a fantasy for the deranged that want to get out their sadistic urges by harming a human that is deemed okay to harm. Any normal person doesn't think like this. This is why many govs laws focus on reintegration rather than condemnation and execution.>>286504207This is because in Japan crimes such as drug abuse are considered often much more severe than sexual abuse.
>>286504083Is asking if someone ever touched a kid seriously that difficult? Jobs already ask for criminal records, even fast food restaurants ask for it.Is being a pedo somehow special in that it needs a video log of your life?>>286504344If people know about his criminal past, wouldnt the risk of him committing another crime drop? Unlike with crimes like drugs or violence, sexual abuse of children arent something done out of financial desperation, its done when someone has easy access to children. If people avoid him and understand that having him around the mentally weak and the young is a bad thing, then its less likely to happen.
>>286504344>The only realistic solution is that you let pedophiles and rapists into your communities!
>>286489342what people should judge from a content provider is the content, not if the person owns pornography or not.dude's absolutely right, every person has its own issues and shouldnt be cancelled because of them. all this is gonna cause is a massive cancellation movement across the industry essentially destroying every airing anime and manga published these days, because newsflash: THERES NO SUCH THING AS A CLEAN INDIVIDUAL!
>>286505086>not expecting persons accused of literal sex abuse or owning child pornography is a witch huntretard.
>>286504344Context matters; a guy that took advantage of his job writing stories for kids to repeatedly commit sexual assault against kids shouldn't again be trusted in a position that could give him easier access to an audience of kids, and especially shouldn't if they feel the need conceal that he assaulted kids before.
>>286499431the founder of toei animation was overwhelmed by Disney's snow white so yes, Disney.Also popeye was immensely popular in Japan
>>286505086So you agree that de-personing people over stuff like drug use or affairs is stupid then.
>>286498339Hilarious. Got a source?
wait they axed the manga because twitter blew up? that's pretty bad
>>286504875>If people know about his criminal past, wouldnt the risk of him committing another crime drop? No, actually it can cause a person to simply lose all previous anxiety's they had and just re offense because the public perception will stay the same for them anyway.>>286504910No however you should not be barred from 99% of jobs unless you work in direct physical contact childcare like being a teacher or children's doctor.>>286505434>>286505588Most mangaka use pen names and many are anonymous, most of the industry has plenty of pedophiles in it considering how soaplands/delivery health are perfectly legal and 16 yr old girls end up in them very often. Blame JP's government for truly not giving a shit about children. However this seems irrelevant in a sense because America and Europe are ran by a ring of political elite pedophiles as the Epstein files revealed and westerners have done virtually nothing about it, so I guess it's fine to be a pedophile in the west. Must be a cultural thing.
Kids love sex. I don't know what yall are yappin about but it's the truth.>>286506501Tranny.
>>286506501If its that likely for him to reoffend, then doesn't that mean that people were right to fear that he was a sexual offender?As long as everybody knows what he has done, the less likely kids are to be in close proximity to him. Its better than the alternative, where he can make up any excuse about feeling left out and still try to assault another kid.
>>286506659You fail to realize how easily most pedophiles can get access to children. It's not as cut and dry as keeping him 5 miles away from all school zones. You either rehabilitate him into society and give him a second chance or you should execute him. Those are the only surefire solutions that can benefit society.
>>286506646based
>>286506646>Kids love sex/a/ remains the best board
>>286506646>>286506806>>286506790Pedos deserve the rope.
>>286506750It all seems like guilting in the most faggiest way possible desu.>"so what if I committed a crime? I shouldn't be named responsible about it! Do you want me to starve???">"Ill commit another crime and it'll be because of you!!">"um actually if you fire me from this cushy job where I write about sexy elves Ill literally die and rape a kid"Like how much of a faggot baby are you not to be able to get a normal ass job?
>>286506990The thing isnt even to the point of firing him, its genuinely just weepy bitchng about being known as a groper, as if being bullied over groping is too much of a punishment.If you didn't want to be known as the groper guy, don't grope. There has to be enough of a punishment to persuade others to not commit crimes, to have some of your rights revoked as you have shown you don't deserve them.This is the bare minimum of a punishment.
