Russia Calls GTO “Paedophilia Propaganda”, Demands Ban

Loli is illegal some places, Nazi punk is illegal some places. I sudden have the urge to make a Erica Hartmann Walvater Wotan AMV. For Great Justice.

In my opinion, all this story mix in $.
Because a critic's complaite is simply ridiculous. When i read this condemnation, i realy don't know what to do: laugh or cry...
A lot of ours russians cartoons may accuse of violence, hint to CP and other mortal sins. ^_^'

there was child pron in GTO? looks like i better watch it again... u know to make sure its appropriate

LOL! I recently watched it and enjoyed the hell outta the show too. One of the best classics out there. No way this show has anything of the things the russians claim.

If it had been, I dunno, Pantsu Witches or Moetan, I guess I could have understood, but GTO? What The Glorious Revolutionary Copulation, Comrade?

Missing the point that badly is like aiming for Kaliningrad and getting to Vladivostok.

Strange, that GTO was broadcasted on MTV Russia in 2006 without any problems ^_^

I'm inclined to point out that dear art made a typo in onizuka >.>

Just in case you care to correct it.

The theme lifted here only a part of a problem of the channel. In a reality the banal attempt of capture of TV frequency by Pentecostalism sect and the proceeding initiated by them took place.
In any case - result of their actions - a zero

What? GTO and pedophilia?

I thought the girls in GTO are all Jailbait!

I live in Russia and unfortunately that's true. levels of sexual crimes was very low but now it's becoming higher because mass-media propagandizing it (in negative way), and more people starting to think about it. I mean this is the case when problem becomes bigger because they trying to fight it.

I think that Vladimir Putin promotes homosexuality with his shirt off all the time and all, grappling with men! He's fabulous isn't he?

I'm not very observant, I must have overlooked the child pornography aspects of GTO.

I mean, even if you use the whole "lolicon is CP" argument, I don't think there's even any adult hentai here. It's implied that he sees the FLOWER of a high school girl but it never even showed it, that's like the closest it got.

That's a bloody LOL!!

Gah this anime has been broadcast for like years... all i can say is wtf why now of all times does someone actually complain about this old anime, i bet they they just want to jump on the bandwagon of whiners and bitching so they can topple one anime after another until they have nothing interstingly fun to do. Ok so lets picture this: if all the eroge,ecchi,hentai animes are all gone then thats takes a lot of anime away which means only higher up bitches are gonna have access to such stuff which annoys me to a tenth degree how many countries governments topple peoples favorites only for the topplers to take the stash themselves.

Saying that about GTO is completely stupid, it's a comedy, not a morality parade.
I think Russians have never seen an ecchi anime cause compared to recent anime of that kind GTO is for kids.

Well I just have to say that they should have read the background of the story first of GTO. It's more on comedy than loli, heck even the girls there aren't loli looking. I'm more willing to agree banning it GTO if they said Onizuka is running naked with his crotch censored.

The "mother" in Mother Russia decided to act.

I from Russia. And I'm anime fan and I learn japanese.
In Russia is very very many fans/otaku of anime/ecchi/hentai. But TV don't show anime. Only 2x2 show little.
Because russians fans of anime have to downloade anime from torrents.
And more russians adults think that anime is chinese porno-cartoon. ^ ^ They was grew in USSR but USSR have not sex. ^ ^
And becouse adults attack 2x2.

I think maybe in future in 5-10 years, anime in Russia will be how usual thing. But now for adults is chinese porno-cartoons.

gomen for my english ^ ^

Wait, I thought CP is legal in Russia?

Really? Onizuka!? GTO teaches lots of things, like how being a gangster is cool, or how violence solves all and if you just be badass enough, everything will sort of work out.

But child porn...well...ok, I can see that too.

I lost my point.

It's kinda funny because there is no real and strict censorship with this things in Russia. I guess, the problem is because of they simply thought about it like animation for children. That's it.

In soviet russia...
...censors are stupid.

Censoring makes them want more... Simple as that... They seek things that they don't have...

If they are complaining about GTO then I'm gonna take a wild guess and say they don't watch much anime.

What do you mean 'CP"? If copy-pirats than no. In Russia is illegal. But none don't see seriously for it.
I think that all download with torrents / internet in all the world. But maybe in Russia it is liitle more.

“It isn’t explicitly laid out, but this work is paedophilia propaganda. There’s plenty of humour, so viewers may come to think that prostitution and theft are acceptable.”

...immediately jumping into conclusions i see

Hah...
For some reason they want GTO to be banned/censored, but we (Im Russian) still have STS channel. So, they have nearly pedophilia TV shows for teenagers. One is about "girl rock-band" (teacher + 16 years old girl-student) and another one (Ive already forgot the name) - there's woman-teacher and 16 years old boy.
For some reason that couples have a lot of girl-fans in our country... Phew.
