Psst, wanna some cringe? I have a little bit.
Today, a court in St. Petersburg considered the issue of banning links to watching anime series, such as "Elfen lied", "Death Note" and "Tokyo Ghoul".
During the trial, the judge watched episodes from these series, including nudity and cruelty. And all this was broadcast live on YouTube.
Oh, yes, he watched these episodes on a pirate site! Hypercombo. (YouTube, of course, then blocked the recording of the court session. For pirated content. ).
But the pirate site thanked the respected court for the ad.
Banner inscription: Respected court, thank you for advertising the site. We hope you know what the Streisand effect is.
...
In fairness, the court session consisted of blocking these sites in order to prevent pirated content, but the prosecutor and experts especially pointed to the danger that these series can cause to children with their themes of death, suffering and sexual content. ...
Many have already noticed that for the same reasons it is possible to ban most of the classic Russian literature (and it is studied in schools!). But there is no sexual content, only suffering and death.
Cringe, cringe worthy of the pen of Frans Kafka.
