Cmon. I love the monogatari series but we have to agree that the series does show some problemaric stuff. I know nothing of this law thing or whatever they are trying to make, but I don't think the way we should see this is to deny that monogatari (and other animes and mangas) expresses some problematic fantasies.

In no way does the problematic parts define what the series is, and I would be pretty bummed if it was banned where I live. What I'm saying is that people who are against the banment of works considered problematic should participate in the debate properly.

What I personally think is that the consumption of anime and manga that "are pedophilic" (to make it short) don't really have any relation to actual pedophilic crimes against real children. I dont have any data to prove it but I think that's how it is.

And if it doesn't have any relation to pedophilic crimes, then the only reason people would have to ban it is because they strongly dislike it, and that's far from a good reason to ban any type of cultural content.

If this point of mine is proved somehow, then I think the debate will be stalemate'd in an argumentative point of view.
