I mean when you get to the bottom line, the whole 
*point* of censorship is to keep people from 
seeing things they don't want to see. The reason 
that some things we *want* to see are censored is 
because I don't think anyone here is the "lowest 
common demoninator" where taking offense at 
things is concerned.

That said, I would like to also restate Whizbang's
absolutely *perfect* phrase: "having a taste for 
yaoi is NOT equatable to lacking morals!" I don't 
know why the morals thing always get brought into 
play. If I garner some entertainment in watching 
two cartoon characters tie each other up and go 
at it, that doesn't mean I lack morals. Explain 
to me why it would be immoral! Who am I hurting? 
What am I neglecting that I wouldn't be neglecting
if I were watching something else?

Now, would I show it to my seven-year-old cousin? 
NEVER! But only because a seven-year-old isn't 
capable of fully understanding the show (and 
completely understanding the concept of it being 
fiction) the way an adult can. I wouldn't read a 
classic work like Dracula to my seven-year-old 
cousin either for the same reason. It is 
inappropriate material for his age group. Just 
because something is inapproprate for a child to 
watch or read, does NOT make it immoral.

And as far as anime editing goes, I've already 
publicly stated that I see the reason for editing 
anime that is played on children's morning 
cartoon blocks. What I do NOT agree with is 
editing the video releases of the anime - thus 
bringing the whole damn thing down to a child's 
level, and leaving nothing to be enjoyed at an 
*ADULT* level. I like to enjoy childish things 
now and then, but in general, I'm an adult and I 
have (and have the right to have) more mature 
interests - including yaoi.

Many Sharp Smiles,

(PS - Hey, Whizbang - if you're just going to hit 
someone with that cel, can I swap it for my 
fancel? ^_~)
