nothing.
I certainly don't want to sound like an alarmist but some of these

sound a bit fanatical.

Ok. This is quite simple. Some guy was busted for "Kiddie Porn" and
apparently now, you believe anime ML's and sites will be attacked
for
the
"Age" of these characters. I think I can sum this up pretty easily.
It-won't-happen. First off, Anime is completely fictional(unless you
count
the historical ones). There's no child hurt, there's no real law
broken. We
are completely safe from the federal government and we will
continue to
be
until we break some kind of law. This is complete fluff and I am
truly
sorry for continuing this but I had to get my 2 cents in.
Famous last words. Were talking about the same people who got
into an
uproar about Mortal Kombat. Heh. It doesn't matter if it's fictonal
or
not. These groups want a scapegoat .And they can get totally
idiototic
to do it.They'll go into a long stupid protest which will be ignored
till election time THEN the government will join the fray. Then
they'll
dig through the archives till they can find the most disgusting
piece of
lemon fanfiction they can find ( Artermis' Lover anyone ? ),
Governers
will make long speeches sprinkled liberally with words like "dirty"
"corrupting" "smut". There will be outcrys of "free speech"
"censorship". Then it goes 2 ways ...not solved or some sort of
ratings
that will most likely not be enforced. It has happen before it will
happen again and again.He makes a valid point on the "threat" .
Calling
it fluff is optimisim taken to a high degree. Of course that's just
my
humble opinion. I say ignore it till it comes .
From the twisted mind of Lord Darkwolf "LD" for short just
don't call me Darky

Why not we start our own lobby group in D.C. or we could ask some
member of the FFML to run and get elected into Congress or Senate so
we could have a voice in D.C.
It is an election year after all.

I know it is an insane idea. But it is an idea.
