  1. Is it just me or is Texas like the least fun state in the country?

  2. Too provocative my ass. This is 10,000% because they dislike their kids consuming media that they can’t influence since it’s for another country 

  5. Unbelievable. “Content Is Too Provocative” means “Japanese”.

  6. Why do we have so many stupid ignorant people deciding whats best for everyone else?

  8. Considering how much of a nerdy weeb the CK shooter is turning out to be, I feel this might not end well. 

    Texas feels like the state most likely to house Anime nerds with high powered rifles, and you want to leave them horny with a grudge?

  9. Ain’t like most Anime dubbing in USA done in Texas?

  11. More regulation from the party of less regulation… they just want to regulate our minds… screw the environment, science and so on.

  12. The Party of Small Government, ladies and gentlemen

  15. What in the absolute fuck?! Texas is such a fucking shithole. Jesus Fucking Christ.

  16. They banned anime?   Not based on content ratings but just being anime?  Are they morons?

  17. I wonder how many Trump gooners will react negatively to this

  18. Damn do They really wanna tick off the real alt-right folks at the moment…

  19. lol Texas is a terrible place filled with lame ass people

  20. The keyword “appears” in the law means it can be wesponized against people and companies.

  22. It’s all about control. It always has been and it always will be.

    Even down to controlling the way you enjoy free time. They just use “think of the children” as an excuse to justify their bottomless hunger for power.

    And the greatest expression of power, to paraphrase 1984, is to make other people miserable just because you can. That’s why authoritarians always target entertainment and co-opt it for themselves, turning it into just another vector for state power and control.

  24. We’re tough in Texas. We carry big morals and big guns. Which we use to shoot at the tv showing the scawwy cawtoons made by da scawwy people that know kawatee.

  25. The fact that Texans cannot be trusted to watch cartoons is very hilarious, their government treats them like literal children. Then you get into how you can’t be negative about Charlie Kirk without the US Government monitoring your social media presence. Unmarked vans are picking people up off the streets.

    But if I go on Twitter, I’ll be told by these right wingers that I’m the one who lives in a nanny state lmfao.

  28. They will be coming for games to. RFK jr was saying it’s games that cause violent mass shootings, and now the Kirk shooter had helldivers stuff on one of the bullets. The GOP is 100 percent gonna use this to crack down on all video games and most likely movies and shows to, not just anime.

    We are gonna have North Korean style censorship by next year.

  29. Ahhh yes, limiting foreign ideology to prevent the people from conscientizing.
