Tired of the relentless attacks on freedom of expression launched by anti-free speech feminists, anti-censorship group Yes to Freedom has been formed to defend the liberties of artists, and they have just created their new mascot Freedom-tan.
Appropriately enough, she is a schoolgirl…

No more censor!!!! YAY!
Agnes has UNICEF; Yes to Freedom needs some international organization funding them as well or they won't stand a chance.
We are internationally known, maybe we anons aughta step up to the plate.
Being "Anonymous" makes us UNKNOWN, internationally or otherwise.
We, as individuals, are not. But as a group, anon is a force to be reckoned with. remember Scientology?
Yes attacking an organization because we can't get our way is exactly what we need to do, to make us look level headed and civilized. UNICEF and Equality Now might be misguided, so we counter that with Cyberterrorism?
Scientology had it coming, and is completely different, and ANON have only gotten as far as they have due to Cyberterrorism, and a few peaceful protests, almost forgot about those.
What I suggest is to back them financially more than anything... anonymous is a force to be reckoned with, yes, but we have an extremely bad name for ourselves.
Legion we are, well known we are, liked we are not. We'd need to form a group name, a pseudonym, to work under.
Maybe Yommanous, or another acronym?
i really cant call this cyberterrorism, more like a form of liberation army minus the army part. this IS a right cause though
Equality Now specialise solely in manipulating the mass media and opinion leaders.
Scientology on the other hand has been using tactics of outright harassment and intimidation on individuals, as well as legal action, since its inception.
These are two quite different beasts.
I remember how Scientology was attacked by Anonymous until it lost its appeal and dropped like a rock. A few might still battle against Scientology but for the most, Anonymous no longer gives a fuck. It's just the people who battled before battling now with a few more to their number.
I wanna join. *eager*
Down with censorship!!! \(T_T)/
Art MUST NOT be censored! Art is HOLY! These muthafuckas think they can censor something, just because they dont like it? DIE!
100% support to Freedom-tan!
Very well said! I support you! >.<
Finally someone to fight those equality now bitches. GO FREEDOM-TAN!!!!
I do hope there's gonna be a strike freedom tan in the future.
WE SUPPORT YOU 100%
x2!!!
Hurry! Freedom-tan needs the Freedom Gundam!
50% of donations to Sankaku now go to Yes to Freedom.
Hm...Darkrock has a good point. Without some pr-expression organization helping to fund them it'll be impossible. The best thing they can do now is get information out that counters the B.S. that Agnes and femnazis put out.
A organisation doesn't needs funds to reach something, only support and spreading the word...
The internet is the only organization they need.
Don't worry. The international community will surely listen to a bunch of fat white basement dwellers bitching on the internet right? RIGHT???
UNICEF doesn't have nearly the credibility it once had. But Like the U.N. it has lost focus and people begin to see it as a bit of a joke. Honestly I have not heard anything about UNICEF in years up here in Canada (around Christmas a bit) but otherwise the only people who really care are the ones who have something to gain.
I would be more worried if they had the Salvation Army backing them. They at least are very visible and actually stand for something truly good (and go about it in a very positive way).
MHM, as I thought.
You are right.
BTW, UNICEF IS JOKE :D
100% support... and now we don't have to draft a letter of concern from scratch... great stuff
If this is Sankaku, why isn't she naked? or being tenticle raped?
Equality Now member detected.
-Extermination procedure initiated-
-Target neutralized-
gb2 4chan, /b/astard. They probably (don't) miss you there.
Hope it applice to anime...
change the colors! if ur anti american u shouldnt use our colors to rep fredom
You don't own the colors you idiot. Nether the idea of freedom.
I beg to differ. What country, if not America, "owns" freedom? The modern definition of freedom comes entirely from the mouths and concepts of people like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and Abraham Lincoln. Additionally, 1 country saved the world from losing it's freedom in WW2 (I know many countries fought, but until America came in, the result was in doubt). If anyone can claim ownership of freedom, it's America.
What a nationalist idiot that you are. Actually it's not your fault it's the Hollywood crab they've been feating you.
Do you even know how many countries talk about freedom in there national anthem and fought for freedom that are a lot older than the US? The Greeks were fighting for freedom and invented democracy thousand of years before America was even discovered.
Modern definition of freedom my ass. Wtf is the modern definition exactly? Hell America used to have slaves when a lot of other countries didn't or had stopped years ago.
And stop playing Call of Duty and watching Save Private Ryan because it affects your mind.
Saved the wold during WW2 my ass.Do you even study history? All the people in Europe and Russia gave everything to stop the Nazis. They lost there love ones, there homes they had there whole countries destroyed, lived with out food and in terror and you come to tell them that those were nothing and it was all thanks to the US who decided to help near the end when Hitler was already starting to have his first defeats?
Fuck, you should even feel ashamed. The US smelled the defeat and jumped to take a piece of the winners prize that's all. Do you know what the whole D-day thing was? It was because they wanted to get to Berlin fast before the Russians take the whole Germany? If anyone can claim that he is responsible for the defeat of the Nazis then it's the Russians. But the truth is Hitler would have never won no matter what. Because you can't keep fighting all this countries around you forever. Even when he conquered a country, resistance croups where formed and the fight continued inside the country. It was impossible to keep them all in check. Sooner or later they would have lost.
You USA kids watched so much movies where US saved the world and heard so much nationalistic shit from TV that you really live under the impression that your country is the center of the world.
Even your motto is egoistical. "God bless America" WTF is that? Why only America? What the hell about the rest of the world? Do you even own God now?
As proud as I am to be an American and a veteran, we DO NOT own freedom. Any man, woman or child in the world who sees and abhors injustice and wants a better life for themselves and others "owns" freedom.
Freedom is not an object that can be held. It is an idea that grows in the mind and is nurtured in the heart of every right-thinking individual on this planet.
this should be fun
this's gonna be epic
especially when she start a magical girl fight with the likes of unicef-tan, green-dam-tan, iwf-tan, etc.
FREEDOM FREEDOM!!
the eyes' colour is.. exotic..
It's brown, actually. Not really that exotic..
Yes to freedom! Yay! ^_^
Ah, I see, the reddish brown looks pink when it's light...
There's a reason for that... glint. Heheh...
yosh.this would be it.stop those stupid equality now NOW!!anime,game n hentais did not manipulate woman.obviously porn did but hentai is not!!
are you retarded?
is this a question?
No anon. The question mark in the end is merely there to make you think it's a question.
is that you, mum?
No, it's Anon, not your mum, Anon are Legion. Your mom isn't
We will see how true to their words they are as soon as someone does a rule 34 of her.
One is probably in the works right now. Probably within the first 24 hours at least one picture appears on the net.
looking for that.
My friends, a paradox has been created.
By making a rule 34 of Freedom-tan and supporting one's right to freedom of expression, they are also opposing that right by essentially saying "Fuck Freedom".
This is undoubtedly a cunning and nefarious scheme concocted by the feminist hordes for global domination. Those dastardly villains!
Unless it's 'Fuck yeah! Freedom!'
LOL
How does applying Rule 34 to Freedom-tan oppose the right of freedom of expression? How does that even remotely make sense? I mean, did you even listen to your own thoughts before you wrote them down?
You didn't get the joke? Rule 34. Porn. You fuck something. In this case if the character's name is freedom. You're fucking freedom. By making a mascot named Freedom-tan to support freedom of speech, but at the same time allowing Freedom-tan to be fucked would mean that you're allowing Freedom to be 'FUCKED'. In that sense, you're actually opposing freedom.
You aren't fucking freedom, you're making love to freedom!
well this is amusing. now how will equality now twist this up?
now this is getting interesting
yes to freedom Error 404 - Not Found that's what i get when i click link
delete the ; mark and it should work
And so the counterattack has started.
Freedom tan looks weak and plain; I think China's sensorship tan looks more "elaborated" and cute ¬__¬ anyone thinking about a V2?
You never know.... <_<
Even so, plain or not, Deth (the artist) does halfway decent work.
Good for them but that's a really ugly and generic mascot.
Draw it better?
Changed your avatar again Ayu?
Have this one already since days. I only change it when a new artworks is done thought.
So my guess is you will eventually put this on your msn?
It is there already.
I don't think it's ugly, but I do agree it's pretty generic.
Agree
I think that "plain" is their intention, no doubt the pro cencorship factions have internalised conceptions of images and writings that should be banned, so imagine their frustration whena a plain schoolgirl is presented to them, holding such innocent items as a pen and palette, no pantsu shots or tentacle invasions, no older men being serviced, just a plain old schoolgirl. hehe
very clever indeed.
We ARE indeed legion, to misquote "the geeks shal inherit the Earth"
you have no taste
GO freedom-tan!!!
people who stand up to the "equality now"
hurray...
though they are giving them the attention they want and soon it'll be too big to control
Well, by making this shit overly public, you'll be inviting the ideas of the mass majority over to stay. In essence, if you guys blow this up and dramatize it, it'll work against you. Since at the end of the day, moral fags and normal fags still outnumber you guys. Also, while I'm sure a fair number of normal fags like freedom of speech, the lot of them are also sheeps. They don't think deeper about things that don't involve them. It's similar to how the media portrays a basement dweller browsing porn is the same as the guy out there doing the actually raping.
What is it with this latest moralfag craze? I was under the impression we left behind batshit crazy religious zealots and witch hunters back in the 17th century.
Yea, but like Jason and Freddy Kruegar truly evil people just don't die. They bide their time and return to an even greater level of evil.
People who will desperately look for withes and wizards to burn will always be around to take the opportunity to start burning flesh. We must always be careful of them.
There victims change names(withes,blacks,Jews,communist,terrorist,lolicon) but they will always be the same.
You're my hero Freedom-tan!
It's all well and good but some obscure group with an English website on a Netherlands registered domain isn't going to have any political clout in Japan.
Freedom rights are gained politically, with ideology or guns, and most effectively from the inside.
Better than nothing.
Equality Now is an American Organization, with an English website on an American registered domain.
What's the difference?
Are you saying that they should give up because they are not in Japan?
They are on the internet for all of the world to see. The amount of "clout" they have will be determined by the number of people who support them, wherever they may be.
Groups like Equality Now do not speak for the majority. They are simply noisier. If the freedom-loving majority will speak up, they will be drowned out.
Strange. I had just discovered their site hours before this post was made. Artefact must be watching my internet activity.
I wonder will she fight Beako?
I hate moe characters, but Go Go Freedom-tan!
自由のためにファイトしろ！
hmm not the cutest tan is she?
I'm not sure where I see this going, is english their second language? Because the way they post makes it seem look like they think their superior, it comes off really cocky and a little unpleasant to read. Maybe it's just me...
But if they have the right views and take proper action, rather than deface, DDOS attack websites, send threating letters and so forth, then I suppose it could work out. I think I'll wait a little longer before I get my hopes up.
About time!
"Thought Crime is NOT crime!"
Am I the only one that gets a tsundere vibe from her?
if she's a tsundere, her fighting skill should be better
You got my back, Freedom-tan~!!
Down with 'crooked-teeth' Agnes and the fake women rights group.
Freedom-tan: The Savior.
and why is freedom tan not nekkid? i'm confused
Sadly we are ALL preaching to the choir on this.
Equality has no connection with the real world as it is, but they're certainly not going to acknowledge the mascot.
Equality Now only recognizes pain. Find a member, hunt them down, and eliminate them. Yeah sounds violent BECAUSE IT IS!.
Not that I am in a hurry to participate, right now they are only freaking out on guys that like overly loli drawings wherever those images might appear.
But I'm sure once some idiot listens to them they'll feel like they actually matter and get in the face of plenty of others.
Do the cause a favour, write to your national magazine, make some noise, make them look bad.
They freak ME out because they're against any pornography/images they don't like. Mind you that's not just loli, and an attitude like that only gets worse. Before too long they're telling you how peoples lives should be lived.
Yeah, and how long should I fap, what porn to watch, what TV should I buy, where should I buy it... Just like COMMUNISM! Die, pricks! NEVERMORE! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! Freedom-tan!
Someone should make Equality-tan, and put them to fight
Don't they have Agnes-tan?
I guarantee someone is making porn of her as I type this.
I support of this!
Can't believe I jumped off the yes to freedom bandwagon >_<....oh well gonna have to get back on it
and hells yes! we have a mascot
/\
I
This was me (forgot to log-in)
Someone should create Equality-tan and have Freedom-tan violate her with a strapon.
She needs a Geass
I PREFER MECHA VERSION
wait..it already exist
Finally the pro expression groups are starting to move. "Heaven or Hell? Lets Rock!" ?
a pen/brush is mightier than a sword
IKE JIYU-TAN!!!!
Is it not ironic that the feminist organisation was created to deal and counter with male domination and predjudice towards women, to give themn equal rites, which of course is correct, but now they feel that they can dictate to others in a manner that they were once dictated to,
The submissive is now the dominant.
I hate cencorship of any kind, if something offends, or you feel it might offend you the answer is quite simple don't watch/read it.....!
Do not however tell others that they can't do so based upon someone elses opinions.
I will support this campaign.
Ironic truth. Organizations that were supposed to be about equality and freedom are now forcing others to built organizations to claim equality and freedom against them.
Yeah, me too. BTW, whats wrong with Submisivity? Or Dominance? There is a lot of people who like it, and if its only drawn (ecchi, hentai) it cant harm anyone (of course children shouldnt watch it), but what the problem with female submisivity - lots of women likes it:D
Her weapon is befitting, her pen will be mightier than any sword "Equality" Now brings in.
FREEEEEEEEDOM!
we are not alone. we as one ,but us too many
~anon~
I bet she is a tsundere
waiting for someone to make hentai of her.
You have my sword, Freedom-tan!
And my Axe!
And my bow!
Good luck you guys fighting those feminist extemists off. X3
Feminist groups must go down.
Also... There is a feminist group leader running for senator next election here in the Philippines.
Everyone who are voting here. DO NOT VOTE LIZA MAZA. She will censor everything here.
Death to censorship!!
fap...fap....
Notice how most of the posters are moralfags.
Freedom-tan needs the Freedom Gundam to kick some Anti-freedom butt.
she should have tentacles from her back like Dr. Otto Octavius.
I like this very much.
Same here. It's a good initiative and niec art at the same time.
I'd hit it
Support freedom-tan!!!
Gather the troops!
Or create a freedom reserve force...
I'd sign up pronto
yeah unleash Freedom Gundam!
Sent my support from Canada
It's only a matter of time before more and more of these anti-censorship group rise, and I'm really happy for them. :3
I approve !
I approve!!
I like how the anti-UNICEF/Equality Now icon is a loli. Irony or abject challenge? You decide.
Glorious. TThey should draw her eating a fresh hot piping plate of FREEDOM FRIES.
All these commentors here on SanCom can help fund Yes To Freedom.. beating the crap out of Agnes
Looks like "Yes to Freedom" has its own Leonidas.
Equality Now and the other feminazis and anti-free speech censors don't stand a chance!
Are you sure that she is not a two-year college student?
Go freedom-tan
Qoute Futurama
Bender: Outta the way people here comes the freedom train
random woman oww you broke my foot
Bender: ...Freedom!
I want to see some art of her dropping a MOAB on Censorship-tan.
Finally. NPO that isn't shit.
Replace that brush with an M16A2, or an M4A1, or an AK47, or an AKS74, or a G3, or a FAMAS, or an FN FAL, or a Steyr AUG, and I'll give it more respect.
Otherwise, it looks pathetic.
