Comment on Equality Now: “We Should Censor Other Countries” by Shuu:

Female equality is pretty much established in North Korea (as it’s a communist country). They even have mandatory military service for females. What North Korea lacks is respect for human rights in general.

Also, Equality Now does run projects on real and important issues (like eradicating the practice of female genital mutilation in Africa). Which makes it even sadder that they had to pick a fight with freedom of expression.

  It’s not misogyny, it’s just that many people here are extremely pissed off and vent their anger in saying things that sadly come across as misogynistic. It’s a grave misunderstanding to think women are not wanted here. The only characteristic you must have in order feel at home here is an interest in anime, manga, H, and/or the occasional weird news.

  This is certainly true, but not what MikeeUSA is primarily talking about. He’s talking about beating your wife (and probably worse) as punishment whenever she does something you disagree with. If he was just complaining about manipulative sociopathic women always getting away with their antics, I wouldn’t have to disagree with him.

  I’ve read my fair share of feminist essays, thank you very much.

  ^ This. Also, rape fantasy (note: fantasy) has been a staple of BDSM ever since the dawn of humanity. There are a lot of people who like BDSM, both male and female, so it’s quite obvious that erotic fiction dealing with that theme is quite popular. You don’t even need to be into BDSM to like rape fantasy, you just have to have a thing for hard sex. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t like it. Firstly, you are in the majority there, and secondly, you are entitled to your own likes and dislikes.

  marital rape. (having sex with your wife) domestic violence. (controling your wife) This is why you’re an asshole.

  Well, to please the old-timers, in addition to the new anime and games coverage and wacky Japan and greater East-Asia news stories you’re – thank Haruhi – still doing now, you’d have to do artist introductions (hard, I know, there aren’t as much new artists as prolific as the already established ones this particular topic got its appeal from), themed 2D image galleries, themed idol galleries, Nico chart coverage, and the short 1-pic eye-catcher posts Chen mentioned. We didn’t get much in the …

  Now now, I know SanCon has changed a lot during its almost 5 years of existence (and in many ways for the worse), but stuff like this was always among the core topics it was covering from the very beginning.

  A simple search of レーザー OR laser タトゥー OR 刺青 yielded a myriad of clinic homepages offering the treatment, and among others things, these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N54pYilXTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK6JXiBbae8 Shitty propaganda indeed.

  Yet I haven’t encountered/noticed/pointed out to me a single instance of SC knowingly reporting false or deliberately misleading information, let alone trying to manipulate its readers’ opinions to further Artefact’s political agenda. It’s tabloid-esque for sure, but likening SanCon to the likes of BILD is unjust.
