Good call. Locked.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Should the same page on the Main Namespace be locked as well as a precautionary measure?

First of all-trim that link, it distorts the page.

Second of all, specific beats general. Maybe you think the censor boards are retarded for allowing Hayate to be distributed with anything other than a "Heh heh, this is kiddyporn" label. But if the administration has said it will defer to official ratings agencies, it defers to official ratings agencies. Complain to those agencies.

Let's not play along with /a/ by importing/exporting drama.

Actually, that's a matter of the art style: Everyone looks kinda weird and in some cases really young. But that's not the point, so it can be discussed and deemed suitable at a later time.

Hayate the Combat Butler? I remember it being a light teen series. The manga is licensed by Viz, but not on the Vizmanga website.

@twhatever That is an appropriately censored image and more comical than fanservicy.. I'm pretty sure that Hayate No Gotoku contains no sex, implicit or otherwise.

Now that the page is locked, can I ask a nice mod to clean out the ridiculous posts?

Anime found! Man, looking at this site, maybe I should go and watch some cartoons. I watched my Weds Madoka, but...

[up][up] They have really good wide-screen streaming for $60 a year. I used it to defend Mitsudomoe.

I'm not sure how many times I'm going to have to say "Specific beats general." And again, this isn't the right thread. If you want to debate what the rules should be, take it to the rules policy thread place. This is for proposing different works-and under current policy, Hayate is protected.

While locking the page is prevent people from adding troll entries, it's also keeping people like me from adding any defenses. I think it needs to be unlocked.

OK then.

Idolmaster is a series about the industry of teen pop stars. There are no sex scenes, or even romantic scenes. It's as sexual as a Brittney Spears concert.

Thumps have set messages. They can't change them. Arguments that are set up just to be knocked down are not allowed. (I'm assuming that thump is the straw dog one, since it's pretty rare)

Okay, here's one for review and a defense for it.

Mahou Sensei Negima features a great deal of fanservice involving underage girls as well as adults, as well as attraction between people of significantly different age groups. Various off-screen and implied references are made to sexual titillation of underage characters. Defense: Fanservice in and of itself is not the main focus of the series or it's many spin-offs. The story is mainly a coming-of-age story, as a younger-than-usual man goes off into the world to make his future and discover the fate of his family, as well as help the various characters he meets overcome their phobias and challenges.

I'm sure it would've been brought up sometime in the future, but I don't know if my defense is any good. I've heard that artistic merit isn't a defense for these works, hence why Kodomo No Jikan has been blacklisted. I've read it, it makes me sick, but it seemed to me KNJ is more of a coming-of-age story than it is porn. That said, I'm not attracted to little girls.

I laugh in the face of suffering.

Negima is published in the US and isn't under a Mature or Adult heading, as I understand it, therefore it's passed.

The key to recommending things is find things that do not fall under the aforementioned criteria, that then have questionable content.
