This Manga Artist's Horrible Crimes got him 0 Years in Prison 

Yes depends on how bad the crime and if the artist work reflects the crime. Like Chinatown reflected Polanski since he changed the original ending and made the villian got away with his crime.

That sounds more like it's easy not to financially support an artist if you're consuming their content for free which I agree with. But lots of people "boycott" artists work for things they did in their private life and won't consume them period. It happens in music all the time

That's a great analogy! You just know in the back of your mind summin aint right 💯

Well said!

Ya super wild

Enjoy your reading

I completely agree about the Tom Cruise separation but it's so much more difficult when it's a crime, especially one like this. I don't think anyone can be faulted though for being a fan of someone's art who turns out to be a terrible person, we've all probably loved someone's art who has later been accused of or convicted of something that shocked us later down the line. So in that regard I see your perspective 👍🏽

Facts on Facts

@@KingKasper yep

Totally makes sense

@@KingKasper yep

Unfortunately you're probably right, especially since it hasn't even been over a decade since this type of stuff became illegal over there. Also in watsuki's case it was real people not just lewd manga which is even more crazy

That's a sick game and happy bday

It's a crazy dichotomy between artists and consumers. Such a complex topic you bring up a great perspective about the disconnect and even hate between the two tribes

Thanks man really appreciate that 🙏🏽. Also definitely can't be mad at anyone who seperates art from artist. In music that happens all the time, think rappers who talking bout "the life" and people sing the songs but most would never actually approve of someone they know personally attempting those things in real life. However some people boycott artists for life cuz of things they did outside of their work cuz it can be triggering for some fans especially if they have personally been affected by similar crimes. Side note, congrats on starting your journey into manga/anime there's so many great stories out there to experience!

Yo! Honestly, you're spitting facts right now 💯. Multiple people in the comments are trying to say that everyone separates art from artist, but you are a prime example that not everybody feels that way and not everybody should feel that way. There are some people who will dig a little bit deeper into the situation and think what is supporting the art going to contribute to society through the artist. So I rate your opinion and trust it's like all the comedy sketches you see where it's like watching anime but then a friend walks in and it's playing some wack stuff on the TV for a split second because of fan service 💀 like that stuff all stems from somewhere deeper and it sucks that there's a lot of anime out there that doesn't necessarily focus on that and is genuinely good but sometimes it gets overshadowed by anime that goes OD with fan service and other lewd subject matter that sometimes gives all fans a bad rap in some people's eyes

Honestly, I think burning it is a little extreme. You paid money for it. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you got all that stuff before this case happened but hey more power to you if that's how you feel bro 🙏🏽

I sold it all in a thrift shop. Got part of the money I spent back and bought other stuff there. Worked for me.

@@omarolive this is a man that's about his coin and his principles 🤣💯

I get your opinion! However, to some people it is a different story. Take certain music artists for example. People will boycott their music due to things they did in their private life outside of their art

@@KingKasper Your favorite singer says something anti-semitic, will you stop listening to his songs? Your favorite sports player is cheating on his wife, will you no longer watch his games, and so on. This is a broad topic to discuss and one in which I probably wont go into. Since the video is about Samurai X and the creator, im assuming thats the art and artist you are referring to. Hence my answer to the question. Tbh, I dont think I know anyone in my circle that ever remembered the guy because we only remember the anime. That's why its always been separated.

@@jetlee6746 I see what you're saying, but again it's a little different. Both the examples you gave aren't crimes nor comparable to the topic at hand. For example, there are many people that don't listen to certain musical artists anymore that have committed actual crimes for example R Kelly or C Breezy. I'm not saying you have to do that, but that's just the reality that there are people out there who I've encountered that won't listen to their music anymore, just an example

Comparing someone's looks to being a ped is crazy 🤣 but I see your perspective

@@KingKasper IT'S NOT EVEN COMPARISON LOL🤣 IM JUST USING SAM SMITH AS EXAMPLE THAT NO MATTER HOW THE PEOPLE LOOKED LIKE OR WHAT HE'S DOING SINCE HE'S SHOWING DEMONIC STUFFS ON HIS SONGS SAME WITH OTHERS SPREADING SATANIC THING IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACTS THAT I LIKE HIS SONGS, JUST LIKE THESE MANGAKAS, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT I LIKED OR WE LIKE HIS ART/MANGA NO MATTER WHAT SHIT HE HAS DONE COZ WE LIKE THE ART & THE CREATOR AS MANGAKA NOT HIS PERSONAL STUFFS & PERSONALITY/ATTITUDE, HOPE THIS EXPLAINED WELL TO BE SIMPLY UNDERSTOOD.
