SJWs Ruin Everything!!

An interesting point about cultural dissonance:

Back in the 1960s, the Chirrol Chocolate company produced an animated commercial meant to appeal to children. It featured three bishojo characters singing "ふりふりフレーク、チロルチョコ～," which liberally translated means something like "shakey-shakey-shakey, Chirrol Chocolate." The cartoon ended with the girls raising their skirts to reveal their underwear. Most people found it cute and funny; apparently, kids used to sing it on the way to school. Kawaii desu, no big deal.

Fast forward thirty year or so, and the company decides to remake the ad in 1994. Social values have changed, agendas are being pushed, and suddenly, we have thousands of moral guardians mounting a letter-writing campaign to the government, demanding that the "obscene commercial" be banned until the end of time. Apparently, the local P & T association had leapt onto the PC bandwagon that the West had been pushing for the past few decades.

You'd think that the average Japanese politician would have more important things to deal with than a harmless TV commercial, but naturally, the SJW contingent got their way as they always do. The advertisement was censored, all copies of the print destroyed, and a valuable piece of popular culture was lost to history. Apparently, nobody and nothing is safe from these self-righteous ace-holes, regardless of where they happen to live.

The Post That Made Wikipedia Cry

Yes, here it is: the image that caused so much trouble. 

Some time in the late 2000s (not sure of the exact date, it's been a while), we noticed that WP was missing an illustration for their Doujinshi article. For those of us whose lives don't revolve around bras, knickers and popular culture, "dojinshi" is the Japanese term for amateur comics (the word has other uses too, but this is the one most commonly understood in the West), many of which were being translated into English at the time...

So ... a few years before the pandemic struck, we came across a talented Japanese artist named Tisa, based (so we believed) in suburban Tokyo. Having mastered the freeware animation program MikuMikuDance (MMD), Tisa had produced a series of literally brilliant short films, putting our crude efforts to shame. Surprisingly enough, he was willing to work with a bunch of rank amateurs, and we started collaborating on a project entitled "Tricolor Angels."
