Bad news. KOSA advanced.

Continue calling your representatives and tell them to vote no on KOSA. It passed the Senate Commerce Committee, not the full Senate, we still have time.

STOP KOSA NOW.

Edit: July 29: The full Senate is voting on KOSA TOMORROW! Please call your representatives and senators to vote no! PLEASE!

Edit: July 30: Senate passed KOSA! The House vote is next. Contact your representatives to vote no now! PLEASE!

Edit: August 1st: KOSA IS DEAD! For now. It may pop up again. Be on the lookout, if it does pop up again, tell your senators and representatives to vote no!

Edit: September 13: KOSA MIGHT RETURN! Follow the instructions on this post PLEASE!

Edit: September 20: KOSA PASSED THE HOUSE COMMITTEE AND ONTO THE HOUSE FLOOR!! This happened on September 18th, I am a bit late and for that I'm sorry. But it’s not over! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS POST, PLEASE!!

Edit: September 27: THIS ENTIRE POST STILL APPLIES! THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER, WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FIGHT! PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE NO! PLEASE!!

Edit: October 6: @the-vampire-fish-queen said, “Do want to point out Congress is not in session right now but come back around 11/12/24. Also, the Republican leadership is fighting over the bill.” WHICH IS VERY TRUE!

FOR REPUBLICAN REPS:

FOR DEMOCRAT REPS:

Edit: October 25: The Heritage Foundation KNOWS that Kosa will REMOVE Pro-Abortion and Trans content IF Trump wins. It has also come to my attention, that from what people have heard from the House of Representatives, Kosa will MOST LIKELY not move on. The keywords there are most likely, keep fighting!

TEXAS ANIME FANS THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION

The Texas congress are trying to pass a bill that seeks to ban anime, cartoons, & video games that they deem to have 'obscene content' involving minors including sexual exploitation.. Which sounds great on the surface, but here's the problem...it's basically KOSA, but targeted at anime, video games, and cartoons. The wording of the bill surrounding what they deem as 'obscene' content is extremely vague and that's most likely on purpose) so they could use it to ban pretty much anything they want. Including any anime with LGBTQIA+ themes. The bill also states that anyone owning ANY of the material that they deem obscene could be charged with a felony. So you could get in trouble with the law for owning something as innocuous as Sailor Moon dvd's or manga.

And with this felony, they could possibly go after sellers and destributors of anime such as Crunchyroll, and Funimation who are both based in Texas, as well as dealers room sellers at anime conventions. Which means this could possibly spell the beginning of the end of anime conventions in texas entirely. And how long before they start going after your favorite texas based fan artists and fan merch creators??

I know most of y'all don't care about my state cuz it's a southern state and "we" 'voted for this' so we deserve to suffer, but I garuntee you we fucking DID NOT! our state is heavily gerrymandered (meaning our elections are all rigged in favor of republicans otherwise Texas would've been blue a long time ago) And it's also home to one of the largest LGBTQIA communities in the country! There are nerds and minorities here that suffer too!

So please if you live in Texas, read this bill and contact your house reps and tell them to vote no on senate bill 20. because it already passed the senate under everyone's nose. If you don't live in Texas, please spread the word and let your Texas anime friends know. This is strait up fascism under the guise of protecting children as usual. If the Texas gov actually cared, they would've outlawed child marriage and made gun reforms to stop school shootings. It's never about the kids. It's about censorship and control

I saw your post about people coming to tumblr. I agree with that but don’t you think the people who age up are lowkey pedos?

Hi there! I'll presume this question is out of good faith, so I will answer the same. In the past several years, I think a lot of people have spent more time on the internet throwing around the word 'pedophile' because it's a very gut punch term that evokes panic and deep emotions -- as it should, because it's an incredibly serious accusation.

I ask this: when you started Attack on Titan, did you see Isayama as a pedophile when he aged up Eren and his friends to 19? The aging up in Haikyuu? Or My Hero's epilogue? (I presume your answer is no.)

A lot of people in fandom space right now would rather focus on a witch hunt if someone aged up a 2D, not real, fictional character (say Eren/Armin fic but they're in college, or BakuDeku pro hero fic) than actually focusing on real life victims and advocating real life change.

Why? Because it's harder to do the latter and takes real effort. It's easier to accuse someone anonymously on the internet than actually critically think about real life horrors.

So no, they're not low-key pedos. That's a serious accusation that holds weight, and I need people to start seeing just how insane it is to accuse people of this.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from websites is no different than burning books.

On Twitter, thousands of people are celebrating Texas’ latest censorship bill because they believe it’s only going to affect lolicons and shotacons. However, the bill intentionally leaves the definition of what’s considered “obscene” vague because it’ll allow the state to ban cartoons and books they deem “immoral.” Texas is already banning queer books in schools because they deem them “too problematic” for children to read while also keeping child marriage legal. Wow, they must really care about "protecting" the children, huh? 🙄

Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if Texas left lolicon and shotacon untouched while banning media about queers and puberty for being “too obscene.”

hating KOSA moodboard ✨️

KOSA will not help children, LGBTQIA+ people, BIPOC people, those seeking sexual health care including abortions.

Want to help stop KOSA?

Petitions to sign.

If you are in a country where you cannot call, sign the petitions and share them too.

KOSA is getting dangerously close to passing.

If the writers and the actors both say “this character would have been queer but the censors wouldn’t allow it”, then the character IS queer.
