CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

BAN ANIME!!

The above link is... the one and true reason I stumbled upon this website, take a look for yourselves people!

To be honest, I've always though that petition was some kinda joke...

That was.... O.o;;;
It might be a joke, Noz, but its not unlikely that there really could be some manic (possibly a parent) who really thinks anime is the cause of all America's problems.
It wasn't the world's most well-made petition tho, because they only had two examples, and only had evidense from one, and it was pretty stupid. So, we're not capable of love? That's news to me. <.<;;;

In Looney Tunes you have male characters kissing other males, violence, suicide, and insults not fit for young ears. Why aren't they banning that? I just don't get it...they act like anime is solely a porn tool. Don't they realize that the Internet they used to post that is swimming with nasty porn and other such horribilities?...(sigh)...funny thing is, I'm not the biggest fan of anime. My sister shows me the good stuff, and I'm slowly learning. But even from just the animes I've watched, I can tell this is COMPLETELY unfounded. It makes me ashamed to be in the same country as these prejudiced, upstuck, punks from the boulevard farm as they stand off and hurl untruths at us. This...is wrong....

Sorry...that needed to come out...

Did you read some of what people who signed it wrote?
Most of them are bashing the Pettition. Its kind of funney. Personaly I dont think trying to make Anime the Scapegoat for how our country is moraly corrupt is very mature. Though there are tastless anime, it is no differant if not less effective than, the sex you see every where else in our media today. Movies, commercials, TV, even music. Pick your least favorit and make a pettition..........

The petition certainly does seem too badly written and constructed to be serious, but unfortunately that hasn't stopped people before.

*Dies of laughter*

*gets resurrected*

*Dies of laughter again*

*Gets resurrected as undead*

*Dies of laughter once more*

That is rediculous it's just not funny... All the response I read seem to be against the petition NOT the anime!

I myself am sure it is a joke. I will continue to firmly believe this, as I do not wish to accept that people can be that stupid.

In any case, glad it brought you here.

*Looks at site once more*


*Brings himself back from the dead by laughing*

Careful Skynes, Ireland could be the next target of these anit Anime Pettitions....

Nah the ppl here would be too busy arguing over who's fault the Anime is - The Protestants or the Catholics. (Not Christian denoms by the way, but which gang by those names.)

The cause of all the problems. Right. Like the music world and movies and all that isn't more popular than anime here. Families need to take some responsibility for how they raise their children, and then maybe some problems might get worked out.

Point A: When and where have these Love Hina inspired rampages occured and how much NAMBLA material were the parties in possession of?
Point B: There is far worse filth available in anime, TV, film, comics, music, public schools, newspapers, ect. than the examples given.
Point C. see above post. We need to stop looking for scapegoats and admit how badly we have messed up our familes, children, nation and world with our own stupid actions and inactions.

Frighteningly enough, even if it was intended as a joke, somebody may take it seriously and take some kind of action. Look what happened in the late eighties when some bored Washington wives decided to start reading the lyrics to the albums their kids were buying and watching the MTV their kids were watching. (PMRC)

MTV is terrible IMO. I don't think I'll ever lose that opinion.

Wow .. I'm sure that's some kind of joke. If it's not ... well, I can't see hardly anyone taking it seriously.

I'm glad many had responded to this thread!

as you can see this is the main reason I thought at first that all christians are hypocrites, now that I found this website (caa) I was dead wrong!

That is a pretty ridiculous petition, but I'm glad that it led you to the CAA ninja.

Indeed.

Please excuse my apparently cynicism, but if you stated "all Christians are hypocrites" that would imply either that you were not Christian or admitted you were a hypocrite. So tell me, am I being too analytical, or did your philosophical views change due to this site?

Yeah some Christians are messed up (Example: CCM) not all of us though. Most of us are dead on

Iliked these ones:

3767. Elvis Presley : Anime sucks. If anime was anygood they've amde anime of me!
3762. potato : to the person who made this...you are POOP

lol!

I wouldn't say messed up, Skynes, I would say...confused and or misinterpeters...differences in opinion happen. (shrugs) One day, it'll be perfect...just waiting for that day...

my whole thinking about the american christian here in america changed since I came by this website. I grew up in another country so what I heard from my old new york freind who now resides in my country, that ALL Christians are hypocrites and closed-minded fools, now that I'm here I've proven that stereotype is waaaaaaaaaaay wrong.

Wow. That is funny. I would hope it's a joke.

Man...that thing made me feel physically sick to read! Those are the sort of people that like to point the finger and everything and anything. Really, really poor...

I've found another anime bashing, here go look at yourselves...

another fool

Well, we're glad you changed your mind, Supa. If only many of the people on that link would open their minds as much as you have and realize that Christians aren't actually sign-waving, bible-thumping, legalistic hypocrites. It's things like that website that do nothing apart from give Christians (and Christianity itself) a bad name.

" wrote:the foolish belief that other cultures have something to offer

Note how Christianity didn't come from Western culture.

That second site just made me laugh.

Here is their definition of cultural relativism: "In recent years there has been a growing trend amongst radical youth elements of American society for cultural relativism, the foolish belief that other cultures have something to offer." So believing that other cultures have something to offer makes you a cultural relativist?

That is fairly mild compared to most of the rant. The only thing I liked was the phrase "liberal filthmonger," that one made me laugh. I can just imagine the reaction I would get if I called one of my conservative friends that name.

That article is such blatent fabrication.. and I think I've seen it before. Unfortunately it only reminds me of an attitude that I find utterly repulsive - the whole idea of America being the only true Christian culture, dripping with good values and virtue. That is a lie, which some people actually BELIEVE.

If in real life I ever meet anyone who holds that opinion and expresses it, they better run away really fast. I'd find it pretty hard to contain my anger.
