DragonBall makes young children [chat]
Dragon Ball removed from School Library for Sexual ContentThe book, "Dragon Ball, Volume 1: The Monkey King." is laid out like a comic book, and in it children sometimes appear naked. Akira Toriyama's book, later adapted into a popular animated TV show, focuses on Son Goku, a monkey-tailed boy on a quest to obtain mythical objects called Dragon Balls.
"In cartoon format, it depicts nudity, sexual contact between children and sexual innuendo among adults and children," Holloway told fellow council members during the comment period of Tuesday's meeting.
Photocopies provided by Holloway detail several of the scenes.
In one, the protagonist, a young boy, pats the covered crotch area of a sleeping teenage girl before removing her panties. The same boy later appears naked in the bathtub and is naked when he performs flying jump kicks.

ReplyDeleteI would be ok with schools banning stupid books. Like DragonBall or Atlas Shrugged or fucking anything by John Dewey.
ReplyDeleteRand believed that banning books was the 1st step towards fascism.

Couldn't they not have it in the library without having a policy which forbids it?
ReplyDeleteMan... I'm dissapointed now. I was hoping that was TMNT done in the style of Jack Kirby.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to fix my paper writing strategy.
ReplyDeleteThis whole "starting the paper 12 hours before it is due" might have a few kinks in it.
