The Issue
When media boss Ian Tivruski green-lighted a new Brancalandian animated series for the Fire Explosion Landian Kids Network, he thought he was commissioning a delightful children’s show about metal-working amazons who knit cozy jumpers for their grandkids. As it turns out, the surprisingly explicit animation Sword Heroins: Love Needle has caused a lot of confusion amongst young viewers, and upset many parents.
The Debate
“Innocent children’s minds need to be protected from such corruption,” declares noted moral guardian Maria Polytunnel. “To achieve this, we should set up a Children’s Regulatory Animation Panel, with me as its fully-paid leader, of course. We can then deem what is and what is not suitable for broadcast.”
Accept
“Should we blame these images on TV? No! Blame Brancaland!” declares angry mother Sheila Brelufski. “We should send tanks, and planes, and soldiers to the Branclandian borders, threatening war unless they stop making this filth!”
Accept
“I don’t get why people are complaining, to be honest,” dissembles Tivruski defensively. “Clearly, we added ‘Sword Heroins’ to our line-up to educate children about the dangers of peer pressure, drug abuse, and challenging everyone you vaguely dislike to a duel. Let us broadcast what we like when we like, even if it does challenge the tastes of some of our more easily offended viewers. Stand up for free speech, and endorse our decision, Leader.”
Accept
“I think we’re ignoring a broader issue here,” bemoans frustrated animator Parker Stonetrey, “which is that animated art forms are never taken seriously enough to be considered anything more than kiddie fare. I say that we develop Fire Explosion Land’s artistic vision and creativity by subsidising adult animation. When people think Fire Explosion Land, they should think Hentai!”
Accept
Welp, I know where my nation is going:
"The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools."
