>When he was in elementary school and middle school, he often read manga with sexual content likeTo Love-Ru. However, in university he met a male friend who did not readTo Love-Ru, and he now retroactively understands why his friend found the content distasteful. Many of the sexual scenes depicted in the series are portrayed without mutual consent, and he now understands that it's not okay to look at a woman's body in a sexual way without regard for her feelings.
>Personally speaking, I feel uncomfortable when I look at Jump these days and how it gleefully sells women's bodies as if they are livestock. Perhaps out of a belief that they won't be criticized if it's between girls, there are more manga these days which show girls sexually harassing other girls. I want Jump's editors to realize that, regardless of who is doing it, sexual acts performed without the consent of both parties is sexual violence that hurts people," he wrote

>Fellow Jump readers claimed that people are perfectly capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality. However, looking back, Sekiguchi claims that he was not capable of making the distinctions himself. He recounts a time from elementary school when a group of boys sexually harassed some girls, but he did not speak up because he thought "boys will be boys" and that it was just a natural thing. The leader of that group of boys was later expelled from high school because he secretly took photos of girls while they were bathing.

I'd be fine with that as long as they're called faggot warnings.

If one had to be added, just put the disclaimer on everything even if it doesn't apply and make it meaningless.

>he did not speak up because he thought "boys will be boys" and that it was just a natural thing So basically he's blaming manga for his parent's failure as educators?
Jace Adams
I honestly don't know why the fuck To Love Ru was published in shonen jump instead of a seinen magazine
Austin Harris
Sounds like bad parenting more than anything
Jace Gomez
As if online petitions can do anything

Sex sells
Christopher Ortiz
>Although he claims that he does not want manga to be written like education materials, he does argue that Jump manga these days "conditions" its readers to perceive female bodies as erotic, and that they also reinforce the idea that men are "wolves" who are invigorated by seeing a woman's sexual body parts. Finally, he argues that many of the female characters who are sexualized in manga are younger than high school age, and are therefore considered minors. Girls that young should not be sexualized.

>it's not okay to look at a woman's body in a sexual way without regard for her feelings I'm actually totally fine with content warnings for actual sexual violence since it can trigger people with PTSD from rape, but this is just stupid shit. Objectification is normal and happens to both men and women. Turns out people just like sexy things.
Ayden Parker
It's hilarious that he uses toloveru as the example. He must not think its super interesting
Bentley Morgan
Once again, SJW shit has infected Japan and will destroy manga for good.
Julian Torres
>although some agree with Sekiguchi's argument, especially considering that Jump is read by children, others argue that the depictions of sexual violence are not endorsements, and that if sexual violence warrants content warnings or explanatory notes, then so should any other form of violence. Including notes for each and every potentially objectionable point would break the flow of the manga

>change.org How can a creature that believes that a random website where everyone can do whatever the fuck they want and doesn't even have a real way to confirm identity can be anywhere near relevant irl be classified as human being? Those aren't supposed to have a functional and slightly evolved brain?
What even are the restrictions for weekly jump? There's been series in there that were ultra violent and varying degrees of lewd. I'm still surprised death note was in it and JoJo too.
