My brother looked it up, trying to defend the reasoning to convince me to keep watching. It didn’t work. So I don’t know his source, I wasn’t the one looking.

I finished the Arabasta saga, I don’t think I made it far into the next saga. I might try the manga, I handled the busty characters fine. Any particular reason you suggest starting from Thriller Bark?

I was really enjoying watching the anime with my brother, it was one of the only ways we could stand to be around each other lol, so I was actually glad it had 1000+ episodes. Then there was a drastic shift in the over-sexualisation. In the beginning there are crazy proportions and little clothing, sure, but it didn’t bother me much. Then suddenly every episode started featuring a woman’s shirt bursting open, or a guy would sexually harass/assault women in “funny” ways. Apparently the creator married a very busty woman and claimed all the extra focus on tits was a loving tribute to his new wife 🙄 I just couldn’t stand it anymore, which was a shame because I was still pretty invested in the story.

I didn’t disagree with the article, I was adding additional input.

The cops and the courts should be working to protect the victims of KF and go after the perpetrators with every legal tool at their disposal. We should be giving them the resources and societal mandate to do so. Solid enforcement of existing laws is something that has been sorely lacking for harassment and abuse online, and it’s one of the reasons people turn to censorship strategies. Finally, we should enact strong data privacy laws that target, among others, the data brokers whose services help enable doxxing.

As it states, no one is enforcing the laws. There is almost no one actually going after online hate speech, and no one steps in until someone gets killed. So law enforcement needs to start policing these things. Until then, censorship is the solution to these issues, though I agree that ISPs should not be the ones responsible.

Well, someone needs to police it. Remember, freedom of speech just means you can’t be thrown in jail for screaming “fuck the president”, it doesn’t mean there will be no social consequences for your words.

Edit: alright, I’m an asshole. I jumped in with a barely relevant comment during a bathroom break 🤷‍♀️ I agree that ISPs should not be responsible for this, though I am in support of censorship until the government actually starts enforcing online hate speech laws. Someone else should make that decision though, not a corporation.
