Comments on: Manga in Libraries, good or bad? http://www.animemaestro.com/archives/manga-censoring Musings on Anime, Manga, Gaming and AnimeBlogger.net Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:33:47 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Maestro4k http://www.animemaestro.com/archives/manga-censoring/comment-page-1#comment-3 Maestro4k Tue, 15 Mar 2005 03:50:47 +0000 /?p=1#comment-3 Thanks Satoshi. :) There are actually non-porn magazines out there that are trashier, and much less respectful of women, than Playboy. (Check out Maxim, Stuff or GQ sometime, at least Playboy tries to be classy.) Sadly I doubt Ms. Hagyari will ever see my comments, not that it's likely to help if she did. People that readily jump to conclusions before finding out the facts have made up their minds beforehand and won't let facts get in their way. If the media would just ignore these people, or at least check the facts before giving them their 15 minutes of fame, it'd really help out a lot. :) Thanks Satoshi. :)   There are actually non-porn magazines out there that are trashier, and

There are points to be made for and against manga, but categorizing the whole based on some of the works done in the medium is rather silly. We have Playboy and tabloids, so are all magazines trash? (Whoever just said 'Yes!', sit back down.) Importing something like manga is, in general, going to cause some culture clash, but if folks would take some time to understand the differences, rather than ridiculing them, perhaps we would all be more enlightened as a result.
