The government of China has given cause to speak again since on this occasion it issued the order to prohibit all anime that comes to be considered violent, vulgar, and even pornographic since children and young people are the main consumers of the animation. It is a new measure to regulate anime.
According to the Chinese central government, the order was made through the country’s National Radio and Television Administration, while ensuring that the Japanese are the ones who have the obligation to regulate the type of messages they want to transmit to youth.
In that sense, it will be the government of China itself that will decide what to encourage if they promote the values ​​of the Communist Party of China and which ones do not.
China also bans effeminate characters
It is not the first time that the country has been involved in the controversy, since a few weeks ago it announced the prohibition of effeminate characters from anime and video games, a regulation that has already entered into force and even some anime series are no longer available in streaming services in China.
Despite the fact that China’s regulatory institution has not provided explanations, these measures seek to promote the healthy growth of the young population. However, the otaku community did not welcome the news, as their favorite characters are removed without any other option.
A very clear example is the withdrawal of broadcasts from the anime Ultraman Tiga, which follows the stories of the steel giant of the franchise that is responsible for protecting the Earth since it is a tokutsatsu genre, that is, action real lives with special effects.
China is a country that has its own transmission and streaming restriction policies, so the series cannot be seen otherwise, in case they are withdrawn.
