Twitter’s abundance of whiners and complainers have forced yet another individual to censor their works over something completely harmless, this time with the creator of superhero franchise Boku no Hero Academia, Kohei Horikoshi, being forced to change the name of a character due to it also describing people experimented on during World War II.
The tears from the usual leftist snowflakes who take offense to any and everything began to spill when a new chapter for Boku no Hero Academia revealed that character Dr. Ujiko’s real name is actually Shiga Maruta – the word “maruta” (丸太) also refers to humans that were experimented on during World War II.
Since the word also refers to a tragic past event, outrage cultists immediately began to demand the character’s name be changed as all instances of the harmless word – and people named Maruta apparently – are now “offensive” (with this notion also being pedaled by agenda-driven websites).
Creator Kohei Horikoshi unwisely decided to listen to these nonsensical cries, issuing a statement on Twitter explaining that he had no intent on referencing the past with the name and that it will be changed in the future:
“Regarding the name Shiga Maruta in this week’s latest issue of Shonen Jump, there have been many opinions recollecting historical events. I had no intention of having the name serve such a purpose. We take the advice of readers very seriously and in the future we will change the name.”
Shonen Jump’s editorial department delivered similar sentiments on Twitter:
– Notice – Regarding the character “Shiga Maruta” in Boku no Hero Academia in Weekly Shonen Jump number 10 (on sale February 3rd), many have indicated that the name “stirs recollection of past historical facts”. In regards to this naming, this was not the intent of either the original creator or the editorial department.
However, we do not intend to overlap this work with unrelated historical facts. After consulting with the author, we will change the name of the character in the comic.
Only a fraction of the many comments complaining about the use of Maruta, with the mob even utilizing the hashtag “APOLOGIZE HORIKOSHI” – though, judging by the less than creative account names, it could be that bots are spamming this absurd demand:
Regarded by deluded individuals as a bastion free from SJW outrage and feminist propaganda and the like, not even Japan is exempt from “controversy” and the concept of caving to incessant whining from those who desire to live in a bubble free from all harm and words that hurt their precious feelings.
The price of a niche hobby getting popular among normalfags
Its literally just a bunch of angry Koreans harrassing the author of the manga. The “LP_mha” guy quoted in the article here is Korean and most of his posts are Korean. He’s venting his outrage along with his fellow snowflake Koreans who he retweets.
Starting to wish I couldn’t read or speak Korean after viewing that profile lmao.
Korean dogs
Trust me, it’s not just angry Asians.
They came for gaming, y’all did nothing!
They came for comics, y’all did nothing!
They’re going after anime, still doing nothing?
Im with you buddy, dunno why you got that -1, sitting here bitching about it isnt making a stand, it’s lazy, you all admit there’s a problem, yet do nothing about it, but bitch and complain to the wrong people. The reason they’re winning is because they’re more vocal and actually get s♥♥t done even if they are misguided. You let them change your games, put in black characters where it makes no sense to have them, change up characters to be female, make characters gay after yeats of being straight and showing no signs of being gay, and instead of trying to beat them at they’re own game by joining petitions against them, you just sit here and gripe.
my only problems with this comment is the fact that you’re bitching that no ones really doing anything then leave out what exactly you’re doing about it comes off really pretentious, like you bitching on here is fine but theirs isn’t. second most people are doing things about it, not buying it. the only thing other than that we can do is bitch about it on twitter to them in which twitter deletes us or shadowbans us for “wrong think” not to mention that really doesn’t make us any better than them whining like children because they changed stuff
The best thing honestly to do is to stop buying from any group that bends to censorship. If someone is willing to change their stories over someone in twitter being annoying then I’d say their vision isn’t worth buying into.
No s♥♥t Those people Need to get off there Ass and do what you said
ofc, nerd s♥♥t ain’t nothin to sweat over
Everything that goes mainstream eventually turns to s♥♥t , it was only a matter time. Kikewood is now infiltrating the anime industry , pushing for globohomo and raising the pozz 100%.
R you sure About that
Just like when comments used to be without the same alt-right asshats.
Nice love it
The author should’ve just replied with a picture of his hand, with a single middle finger extended to remind outrage-faggots and korea-rats that HE’S Numero Uno.
Hell hey friend
The Japanese only know that the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan, but they never think about why the United States dropped atomic bombs on them.
Americans know about Pearl Harbor, but they never think about why it happened.
That’s why they Attack pearl why Also we dropped those Bombs on them
It happened because we cut off oli Supply to them And toll them to get out of China
Not all Richards are dicks.
Not all Karens need to be thrown into a meat grinder.
Not all Abcde’s… okay, that one is fine to make fun of XD
The doctor’s last name is more than street name. 志賀 is a bacterium called shigella that causes diarrhea. Unit 731 used shigella for human experiments on highways. Sinister!
That may be but you know the Nazi’s Did the same thing to people too
You couldn’t be more right
except these “people” aren’t normal
Really and American’s r Normal?????????????????????.
真正热爱祖国的年轻人，即便他们是日本动漫游戏的铁杆粉丝，他们也会在大是大非的问题面前维护自己国家的主权和民族尊严。而那些没有脊梁骨、双膝发软的人，即便他们对日本没兴趣，也迟早会跪倒在其他人面前，嘲笑着中国的一切，包括中国的主权和民族的尊严。——共青团中央

为什么故意打错字？恨毛那事儿我不管，但武统台湾我不支持。这样对国际影响不好。但就现在来看，似乎也只有使用武力这一种方法了。理论上上午开打，下午办身份证，（美国不可能出手）。
但冠状病毒不太可能是生化武器。我认为冠状病毒是一把双刃剑。根据金灿荣教授最近的一段视频，中国未来十年的道路会艰难（因为美国），而未来五年是最艰难的，但这之后就没人可以阻挡我们发展了。这次武汉的疫情虽然造成了很多麻烦，但同时也是一次机会，他使我们发现了社会上的很多问题，可以说我们及时改进，以应对未来的十年。
It is a terrible act to put restrictions or rules on a work, which is actually a kind of suppression of speech.
However, in drawing cartoons, we also have to absolutely adhere to the principle —
Basic human rights.
No matter how painful and important the issue may be, it is not a problem to be accused in the form of cartoons; But only the basic human rights are not to be ridiculed in any way. In a nutshell:
1. Don’t joke about the victims of war or disaster.
2. Do not show contempt for certain professions.
3. Do not make fun of the nation, the people or the public.
The above three points are the three principles that you must follow no matter what kind of work you are in. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional cartoonist or an amateur, or if you’re new to comics. If there is a cartoon that violates these three principles, whether it is the people around the cartoonist or the readers, I hope someone will stand up and remind him. Please don’t do this. —— てづか おさむ, “the practice of manga”
Plus Korea/China is Communist so f♥♥k them
It manga not Real life dude I understand that there r Human Rights but it Comics dude Maybe not like our’s because it Reed’s Right to left
Day of the rope for SJWs, when?
(▀ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Soon my fellow anon , soon.
Easier to just stop sending food to the cities, and watch them literally eat each other.
They’ll do it themselves once the world starts ignoring them, just wait.
ignoring them is the solution, but also the problem, oddly enough. Ignoring them has caused their rise in power.
A more effective solution is to drown them out, with your voice. In this case: tell the author not to budge. We are many.
The author should straight up block them all. They’re 99 percent Korean so he’s not losing any sales by giving these hateful idiots the middle finger.
True
nah, the insane are listened to because of the threat of violent backlash if the sane wish to be heard then they must also be willing to use violence.
You got that Right
You dumbasses, we already tried to ignore them, stop suggesting that already, cancer goes when you dont pay attention to it, unfortunately it cost vic mignogna’s career, when will you start taking action, hmm?
Hahaha agree..best solution dont read/watch if u dont like xD
That won’t happen because of the Virus Codvid 19 Dud
And my axe
I look forward to slashing some conservative throats myself. Die mad fashs.
How are you gonna do that from your mom’s basement though?
Like you don’t live in your House’s Basement your mom’s that is
hard words for someone who needs safe spaces and trigger warnings. Is your dysphoria acting up, tranny?
Like you don’t have that
Conservatives have all the guns buddy, when the time comes and the left go further off the deep end with their crazy the only thing they’ll catch is a bullet in the head.
Your K/D ratio means s♥♥t IRL faggot

Gun > a knife
This is why tou lefties are seen as insane, try us in our red states, or please, just take it to your own throats.
Interesting how many people fall for this bait…
Backpeddle harder.
Get hanged faggot.
How about you Biggit
And you still wonder why your party is going dying
I know Right All Hateful Biggit’s just Need to just fucking Die
These people are fucking cancer. Twitter are not the world, they do not represent everyone aside certain group of selfish, ungrateful, spoiled babies.
“Twitter are not the world”…
I just got an image flashing through my brain, of everyone on Twitter getting together and starting to sing:
♪♪♪
We are the world
We act like children
We are the ones who bitch and cry and moan
So let’s start whining
There’s a choice we’re making
To doxx those we don’t like
Now change my diaper again
Or else I’ll cry
♪♪♪
Love it my friend Absolutely love it
Social media was a mistake.
The f♥♥k youbsay
Don’t let the mass media know twitter isn’t the world or ‘the internet’ they’d have to correct so many shitty articles they write and source from fucking Twitter.
Makes me wonder if most of this faux outrage coming from the angry Korean hate mob attacking the author is more down to anti Japan sentiment in South Korea.
Likely, yes. All they need is a excuse
Just like the Fucking Chinese
Your Right
You never bend the knee to this mentally ill people, once you start they’ll want more and more
You got that Right
Internet Koreans are the most insufferable pieces of shits to tread the web.
They are too busy going extinct lmao
That’s True
Sounds like they raped your mom lol.
STFU Korean.
Funny as s♥♥t Dude
