Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
i think its somewhat widespread in every community. people tend to make a bigger deal of it than it actually is though (see: this post). for example the underage relationships shown in anime are usually pretty mundane in nature, as no one in anime ever has sex -- well outside of hentai.... but that is hentai...
Seems you have been missing a couple of shows ...
i guarantee i've probably seen way more shows than you as my MAL has over 700+ series watched. the amount of non-hentai shows where the characters actually fornicate, much less on screen, is probably in the single digits between all of those shows watched. I can't actually think of a non-hentai show where the charcters actually do have sex on screen, aside from one -- and that one is between two older high school characters, and you don't actually see anything really objectionable.
if i actually think about it, i think the stuff i've seen in american tv and film is probably worse than that. I think the biggest problem people have with anime is that japense culture is unfamiliar and scary...
feel free to name some shows though.
Sexualizing a character doesn't require onscreen fornication
doesn’t require much at all to you people, apparently. the wind blowing the wrong direction seems to draw ire.
Old stuff here:
Final episode of Onegai Teacher, the male student is shown having sex with the female teacher. It was a romcom otherwise.
Chobits, the MC had to finger the android to power it on.
i'm just going to point out that in the final episode of onegai teacher, you don't actually see sex. you just see the teacher trying to seduce the student, but then the teacher disappears (no idea where she goes, but she's just gone) and then a female student magically teleports in the room.
chobits, the main character is 19 years old.
you pointing out these scenes serves as a great example to what I'm talking about. People blowing shit way out of proportion so they can demonize anime as a whole.
it seems to me a lot of people are just uncomfortable with things from other cultures. they fail to recognize all the shit in their own media and give a fair comparison.
that said, my feelings are that people are far too sensitive, be it to foreign, or more familiar, western media. i think parents often try to baby children far more than they should and some people just like to be angry.
Maybe I misremember Onegai Teacher, or it was an oav? It was a distinct memory, either way. I'm 100% it was canon, but I was watching it at 6am after work.
Chobits, I forgot the age. Anime is fuzzy about ages.
I love how we can brag about being weebs nowadays. I was in them trenches back in the day. Trying to explain the difference between anime and cartoons to people. Getting weird looks for having a goku shirt.
we could always brag about being weebs -- just pity the people who aren't. their loss.
So you missed more than just a couple of shows. But nice flex.
Redo of Healer, Higehiro and The Fruit of Grisaia have on screen sex.
And then there is implied sex even in tame shows like the middle aged online shopper and the jobless reincarnation iseakai.
And that's just of the top if my head, having watched less than 200 animes.
I was going to point out that Rudy and Silvie were considered adults at the time, but I totally forgot about Eris.
But Eris is older than Rudy, I think. Though she's his cousin ...
I was pretty sure that one of the main harem girls was pregnant in S02, and was refering to that. But I might be wrong.
Eris was a little older than Rudy's new body.
She is his second cousin, so not technically incest?
Your are right about s2.
we're complaining about implied sex now.... as if high school age kids don't actually have sex... seriously get off the damn soap box. go outside. touch the grass.
I wasn't complaining, just refuting your statement that no one in anime ever has sex.
my point stands. there are literally thousands of none hentai anime. the ratio of all those anime to those anime that have characters that have sex, even implied sex, is extremely extremely low.
yes there is also ecchi, which also have an extremely low ratio of shows available to shows with characters that are actually sexually active -- but you should know what you're getting into before you turn on the show. if its labeled ecchi, expect ecchi.
doesn't require much at all to you people, apparently. the wind blowing the wrong direction seems to draw ire.
