[Abandoned] Restrict Adult Cartoons

Postby Re-Unified Russia » Mon May 22, 2017 11:39 am

A proposal to restrict adult images from reaching younger audiences

Knowing that some cartoons contain many rude and inappropriate subjects including oversexualization, alcohol abuse, and over the top violence (including realistic gore and flesh damage).

knowing that many of these shows air on channels that also host kids shows during daylight hours in which many children are watching.

Appalled at the things some cartoons can lead some children to say and do.

Knowing that some cartoons frequently contains adult content and other things that are inappropriate for younger people.

acknowledging that most cartoons are not pornographic or disturbing.

noticing that some cartoons may mislead children into believing it is appropriate.

Hereby restricting adult themed cartoons from airing before the hours of 8pm-5am.|

Can anyone suggest edits or formatting fixes before I submit it, as well as confirming it's legality.

National News Radio: A large-scale infrastructure project will soon be underway. During this time, for safety reasons, the island will be closed to tourists and foreign news agents. We do expect a minor loss in revenue due to this, but this will be greatly offset by both the long and short-term benefits of the infrastructure project. If your job is negatively impacted by the island closure, please send a letter or verbal message via courier to the Council so that we can add you to the list of beneficiaries of foreign aid.

0/10 missed opportunity to use the pun Banime.

In reality, though, there's no real way that I see this getting through to the WA.

So far many people do not believe it will pass, but I am sure there are ways to improve it to atleast reach the table. Right now I would like to know if it is legal and some ways to make it more convincing

Ok speaking strictly OOCly, you do know that this amounts to banning cartoons from a RL nation that isn't part of NationStates, right? In-game, it would be exactly like banning a nonsense word. Utterly pointless.

Exactly. Save your skills for stuff like hard drugs or pirating if you want to ban something.

If this reaches the floor: Against.

"I strongly urge other nations to disapprove this proposal. It uses the STEREOTYPE of anime as it's basis. No research has been done into anime whatsoever. The anime industry does NOT support child intercourse AT ALL. As for the 'sexualization', that is simply because of cultural differences and not all anime have this. Regarding representation, nations are allowed to represent themselves however they want." -Guronese Ambassador to the WA

Why? Because it's a fad? There always were and will always be fads that are found annoying by the people not involved with them.

The Versilian ambassador just shakes his head. "I don't see any point to this 'proposal'. I recommend spending your time coming up with proposals that would actually affect the world positively. 'Anime' itself is simply a style of animation. Just like movies, they're an incredibly varied type of entertainment. Besides, the anime industry is a good and completely viable industry. The Versilians are against this proposal."
"On the subject of preventing children access to anime, not all anime is pornographic. Some are aimed at the little ones. I recommend educating yourself on this topic."

I'm not exactly sure about that, since anime is an art style more than anything. Not all animes come from japan and not all Japanese cartoons are animes.
That said this is still a horrible proposal. While some animes may involve child sexualization, this is not all of them and is more of a cultural thing than a inherent problem with the art style.

Still OOC:

I saw the edits and my last statement stands. So you're saying that, as an example, Chi's Sweet Home, quite possibly the most adorable series in the world, shouldn't be seen by children?
