I don’t think WeedLordVegeta is trying to say it’s what the culture demands, more that it’s what Square thinks the culture demands.
Folks, help me stomp this mental hangup and gimme your mid rating faves.

then apologies for the misconception. tone through text always hard to interpret, etc. also their solution for this imo seems lazy and frustrating. i don't really have a dog in this fight but if they can region-lock/unlock youtube videos, there's definitely the technology to gate censorship similarly.
Yeah I definitely could have been more clear that this is based on my specific understanding of Indonesians policy, I just get my hackles up when people go 'what WEIRDOS would want a thing censored' when there is a religious answer for it that's adhered to in at least one major country that square markets to
I do think the app itself is lazy and predatory and wish the conversation was focused that way
The beginning is way more chaotic/interesting than the back half, but it's still got all the normal hits when it comes to competition anime.
For niche stuff, absolutely, but the major brands are still kicking.
Yes, and? Is the same model that Webcomics/Webtoons stumbled into: Digital for throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks, and "what sticks" gets tanks. Big brands will likely stay on physical the longest thanks to institutional and cultural inertia (people would throw a fit if they couldn't go and buy Jump at the store anymore), but smaller companies can't afford to do so.
And publishers are going to be wary about Indonesia specifically as it becomes much more aggressively conservative about media regulation- see steam origin and epic disappearing yesterday because of a new policy going forward that platforms must register with the government and provide user data
The censorship on the app as is is a lazy solution to a nuanced issue, which tracks for an app developed by square
I was unaware manga magazines were ever much of a thing in the west. Then again, I live in a country that hasn't had translated manga releases in about ten years.
If this is true, it's the most damning and hilarious thing about Squeenix's decision to trust a ML program with censoring. Like, LMAO.
Oh I'm talking about Japanese magazines; cj is right in that the monopolies will still stand tall but the magazine that witch hat atelier is being published in is going all digital for example
Which, yeah, that sounds like the kind of hack ass tech bro solution that SE would try.
There are countries making progressive changes for economic reasons (see the gender diversification of the Saudi workplace to help compensate for the upcoming shift to alternative energy and less dependence on Saudi oil) while also doubling down on social conservatism (see the declining freedoms of expression under the current Saudi regime)
Indonesia's not too different
You're right in that these are things that companies need to be aware of to play ball but that would simply cost too much money so why don't we make ourselves look like idiots by making an AI try to navigate this for us
good animation + cute girls and wholesome characters so far
Made by the same people that did Interspecies Reviewers, yay. I mean, one of the worst things that Shield Hero has done, and there's a lot of them, is being the show that made people realize that you CAN get away with making your protagonist buy slaves and still call him the good guy and anime fans will lap that shit up.
It’s ok because the slaves want to be slaves

Yeah, like, it says a lot that even hentai has more dignity than that because they don't try to pretend that their rapist protagonists are good people.
I'm not arguing against this or anything I don't want to set anyone off by looking like I'm accidentally starting some argument that looks like the shape of one they've heard a thousand times before that I have no idea about it.
I'm just curious how gender diversification helps offset shifting to alternative energy and depending on saudi oil? Because they get more workers to help drive the economy?
This is basically it, I've only really read one book one the subject from an outsider perspective so I want to dig in to it more though
Also Raphtalia is (again) permanently no longer his slave, even if the new girl still is.
Right, the hero (a slave owner) thinks slavery is not the best, probably. Not enough to like... stop owning slaves or do anything about that, but he's vaguely opposed to the idea, in theory, probably. He's such a good egg!
Doesn't World's Greatest Assasain starts with everybody on a slave auction getting offed? I do remember that.
Well you see, people will pay money to see sex, so...
In a fit of bad decisionmaking I read this particular manga a while ago out of morbid curiosity. I can confirm it is basically a bad porno.
