    Alright, I am locking this thread now due to several reports and, frankly, I don’t feel like letting some of these comment chains keep spiraling off into incivility.

    For those wondering why this series is getting removed but not the concurrently airing Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, it is likely due to Chainsmoker Cat portraying irl tobacco brands. This would be much more subject to rules aimed at advertising tobacco within these jurisdictions. Or something like that…I’m not a lawyer…

    showing actual tobacco brand is a clear violation of the act. I think the anime will be restored with the brand masked soon.

    Honestly, I have to agree with that. Cigarettes are gross. Tobacco is gross. And watching an episode of this made me feel gross.

    Not that removing it will stop most people from watching it lol, but it is a message: “Cigarettes are bad, m’kay?”

          I’m sure your guardians beat the shit out of you to say such an asinine line, but this is

          Adult 🌈Fiction✨

          Impressionable minds shouldn’t be watching adult cartoons.

          Now go ban the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you utterly believe this asinine lie.

              You never had your things stolen?
              Your mouth gagged?
              You’re arms amputated?

              You shouldn’t be asking me why I am hostile to Anti-Press Authoritarians.

                “Anti-press authoritarian”; I saw the “free” press all fall in line after 9/11, and everyone who broke rank essentially get blacklisted, while those who peddled lies kept their jobs, some of whom are lying for Israel right now.

                A “free” press under capitalism is one that is owned by billionaires.
