“We won’t do it, if we don’t want to”
Great. Real assuring.
Shogakukan stated that it won’t commission new projects or maintain existing business ties with any author or partner found to have committed severe human rights violations, including sexual assault or abuse, if their continued involvement is deemed ethically unacceptable.
I’d like to see an example of ethically acceptable severe human rights violation.
Like western imperialism or illegal whaling by Japan ?
Maybe when the person was young they did something and they are older and have proven to not be a repeat offender? Rare case, I know, but still possible.
To me it just sounds like a legal out to say any or all of them are deemed ethically unacceptable so they can fire them without legal issues. Japan has whack employment laws, and businesses will almost always try to make you quit before they fire you. I can see this wording being related to something like that.
I read those last four words and all I can think is “Oh, so they’re saying they will continue to hire sex offenders and major human rights violators. Wonderful.”
That’s not what it means.
if their continued involvement is deemed ethically unacceptable
Meaning their involvement in the projects or other business activities. As I understand it, depending on their behaviour after the violations committed, and maybe the nature of the work.
E.g., someone who previously committed sexual assault should probably not work on a project that is a manga series featuring scenes of similar nature.
I have no idea how they’d evaluate the first part, but I can appreciate the sentiment.
Chibi Reviews must be devastated.
I don’t like chibi reviews, so what’s with the allegations ? What happened ?
There’s a lot going on with that. Basically Chibi Reviews keeps dying on this strange hill defending pedophelia, saying that lolicon is “just drawings”. Recently in response to that trolls from the sharty posted AI pictures and videos of turning his brother in to a bone chair for him to sit on. To say he took it badly would be an understatement, but the idea behind it was “its just drawings, its just AI, its not real.”
Oh and also Chibi got cuckolded by his best friend who slept with his fiancé. Then he claimed he was receiving “death threats” from the sharty and moved, but people don’t believe he really moved because he’s living on his parents lot in a shed his dad turned in to a home. Thats basically a very short synopsis of whats going on and please put “allegedly” in front of everything and “in minecraft” behind it.
Edit: Oh, and he allegedly scammed his audience twice for ridiculous amounts of money, the latest one being for “moving due to death threats”. Again, allegedly and in minecraft.
Please note: I have no horses in this race what so ever other than that I also review anime on my website but I never e-beg. I’m not taking either side: Not my circus, not my monkey’s. I just like to joke about it now and again.
Very informative. Thank you.
You’re very welcome. I also recommend this channel:

The host is a little rough around the edges but I think he means well :') and his commentaries on the whole ordeal are pretty hilarious.
