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 Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel.

It's a wonder that anything anime-related survives importation to the US from Japan.

    Fucking pervert. We know why you frequent such places. We know you will never have a girl-friend or get married. You are Himote [melmagazine.com], you are Otaku [wikipedia.org], you are Incel. But you do not realize that these actual young girls, which all this sick fantasy will inevitably push you toward, have actual male relatives, fathers, brothers, uncles, and cousins. We will take your perv action as an insult to our family's honor, as a crime against all Women in the Month of the Woman, and a crime under international humanitartian law. So, we will find you, and we will cut off your balls, since you do not deserve to be male. Eunich is better than incel, we always say! And, we are correct.
