What does it mean to "promote child exploitation"? When it's figurines that have been sold for years but now violate Amazon's statutes about promoting child exploitation which resulted in listings being removed. Chuck Gaffney has run a successful Amazon store for years selling anime-related products, up until recently when Amazon started cracking down on anything that could be perceived as "promoting child exploitation".
While it can be difficult for online retailers to represent themselves as selling genuine merchandise — meaning reputation means a lot — this type of behavior from the market owner is very discouraging. In response, the seller blames a "neopuritan crusade" against anime figures.
The characters at the center of this disagreement are: Hatsune Miku and KaitÅ Tenshi Twin Angel.
It's a wonder that anything anime-related survives importation to the US from Japan.

Huh? They actually SELL the Turner Diary? I downloaded from one of those "scene" sites, years ago, and presumed that no one would actually publish the book. Never even looked. Imagine that . . . some of our more liberal friends should read the damned thing. They run around calling normal people Nazis and fascists, because they haven't actually read anything that is Nazi or fascist.
