So, I noticed a new article called 'Cartoon carnage — A cross-cultural analysis of child violence in animation' by Nadya Siringo Ringo was put into the news feed, but I was wondering who thought it would be a good idea to put an article degrading HxH on the news feed for HxH fans?

The article tries to compare gory anime meant for older teens/adults to shows like Avatar: The last Airbender and Young Justice, which are meant for young teens and mostly little kids. They try to make anime seem immoral and abusive toward child characters, despite that being the bias talking (since the writer admits to not being a fan of gore) and not being true at all. Firstly, it doesn't make sense to be comparing completely uncomparable works to each other, like western cartoons to Japanese anime. Secondly, she doesn't know enough about anime to be criticizing it, as shown by her claiming that popular anime being brutal towards kids is a new thing, when that's been the case since decades ago, and her trying to compare anime to cartoons in the first place. She even admits that some anime are meant for young adults yet still tries to call it too gory? We all know how gory HxH is, but it's not trying to promote sadism or abuse of children obviously, and Nadya's trying to make it look like it and other anime is, despite that being plain wrong.

You can't even make comments on the article, because the commenting box is glitched or something, and they don't give contact info for the writer or the staff involved in allowing the article to be published.

I get ignorant people writing about topics they know little about, but I don't get why a member of the HxH fandom would allow such an article to be visited by other HxH fans. Please, whoever put that artcile in the news feed or who can take it down, take it down. Don't give more views to such a badly written article that's attempting to degrade such good fiction like HxH, simply because 'it's too gory' and THEY can't handle it, using the guise of 'child abuse' as a cover.
