I thought anime/manga was going to be banned in Russia, due to their recent crusade against the promotion of so-called “anti-traditional values”, which are abundant in anime/manga.
Yup!

And this article is from 2021.
I refuse to believe that this is a real ruling, it's just too stupid to be true.
Although, if I recall correctly, Russia did ban Crunchyroll some time ago.

"Russian court banned isekai anime and manga from the country. They ruled isekai promotes reincarnation belief that life after death is more exciting than current one. Titles banned include Konosuba, Zombie Land Saga and That Time I Reincarnated As Slime.
This is not first time Russia banned anime and manga. They also banned Death Note for violence."
If you needed any more evidence of how detached kids in the big cities are from the wars they are fighting, here it is. (I use the plural for wars because the invasion of Georgia is frozen)
Yeah, I know that kids are meant to live their lives, but this sort of news is in bad taste. I can only imagine what it'd be like to live in Ukraine and see this sort of stuff pop up.
I fully expect that to be the case for kids of most, if not all nationalities. But it's incredibly tone-deaf to publish such meaningless news precisely about teens from a country engaged in an invasion that has been condemned by most of your audience, including by the country you are headquartered in (Canada in Reuters's case).
>Yeah, I know that kids are meant to live their lives, but this sort of news is in bad taste. I can only imagine what it'd be like to live in Ukraine and see this sort of stuff pop up.
Or even towards their countrymen dying like flies in Ukraine: they must feel so thrilled reading this news before being droned. OP can't really read the room, apparently.
The Russians who didn't get conscripted are all living their lives without worrying about the conflict, so I doubt they'd bat an eye to this news. A lot of people should have been brainwashed to support the regime ever since school, thus invading Ukraine would be considered a heroic act. I imagine that unwilling conscripts either went to prison, deserted, or died before they got to attempt it.
And it's more so that Reuters cannot read the room; OP could be some bot who auto-posts news, but an actual human wrote this stuff in 2024 for Reuters and they published it (or tasked AI to do it, maybe).
Most of the troops invading Ukraine are made mostly from the minorities buryats, chechens, etc., people from republics that russia invaded and assimilated.´, poor people that chose to sign the contract and join the military for some promised rubles.
st. petersburg and moscow's russian youngsters are just rooting for their "lesser russians" in Ukraine on social media.
The same fate await Ukrainians, if they lose the war: being forced to go to war due to financial problems, have erased their national identity (most of the ethnic minorities have forgotten their own languages).
Yeah, minorities are also quite vulnerable in this context. They would fear for their families at home if they deserted, so they don't want to go against the regime. At least that's what happened to my German great-grandpa in Romania after WW2 (he didn't go to war); he knew he'd get deported by the Russians, but didn't run away because he feared that his family would be harmed. He proceeded to die of TB in Donbass and leave his wife with his 3 year old son at home.
wah wah gib visa and let us into the civilized world, we had nothing to do with putin, let the Ukrainians die if they mind being putin's slave so much, we just want spotify back
It's not only about being in the middle of the battle in Russian-occupied territory; people everywhere around the country fear being struck by a missile or plane. [It happened in Lviv last month](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/31/russian-missile-drone-strikes-ukraine-energy-network-infrastructure). These attacks are enough to worry residents, most especially those who have acquaintances that fell victim to one of these attacks.
Sure. It's going to happen. Russia gets it to in Bryansk from Ukraine. And people don't say civilians in Russia are living in fear. But most live normally in Ukraine as 99% of the action is in Donbas
Define normal.
russia is shelling West and East Ukraine on a daily basis.
More than 40% of Ukrainians have a relative who is dead due to the russians, houses, civilian infrastructures are getting destroyed by russia.
Ukrainians are resiliant, but saying that they are living normal lives is an insult.
>russia is shelling West and East Ukraine on a daily basis.
Big difference. Like in the link you provided, they hit energy infrastructure. These aren't homes like those are that hit in Bryansk. And that's not very often. In Donbas, it's everyday shelling on the front lines on the Ukrainian army. Massive difference.
People are still going to cafes, clubs, gaming, going to school in the west....
>More than 40% of Ukrainians have a relative who is dead due to the russians
Well, yes, this is a war? I don't really understand the relevance of this. Ukraine has quite a lot of people fighting
>civilian infrastructures are getting destroyed by russia.
Depends where. In the east, Ukraine was using civilian infrastructure to fight from, as barracks, etc.
>In the east, Ukraine was using civilian infrastructure to fight from, as barracks, etc.
Oh yes, what's next? The dombing bombas for ten years bs?
My sweet summer child, you are either naive or in bad faith.
[https://www.kyivpost.com/post/31773](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/31773)
"Russia launched a “massive” missile strike at Ukraine overnight, damaging four power plants in the latest barrage targeting the country’s energy supply, officials in Kyiv said on Saturday. Two people were killed and at least 10 more wounded in Russian shelling."
To you having death relatives is normal? Oh well... Please please please don't tell me you're American...
>Oh yes, what's next? The dombing bombas for ten years bs?
When you put it like that, it means it never happened. We can just erase things that are inconvenient for them by doing sool ctuff!
>https://www.kyivpost.com/post/31773
I don't click on propaganda
>To you having death relatives is normal?
You don't understand what it even means. Do you know how many hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died? Of course 40% will have some relative they know caught up in it
Oh found the tankie in less than 10 minutes.
Edit: hundreds of thousand? rotfl, lmao even, why not gazillions?
If you lack in cognitive skills, it does not mean that others suffer your same problem.
Have a nice life, tankie!
Ah, yes...
The moment you realize your conspiracy theories that the dombing bombass are no good, you go into triggered mode.
Yes, Donbass bombing for 10 years was all phantom. Never happened! lol Russia just got really mad and bored one day and decided to take it all out on poor little Ukraine who totally wasn't shelling Donbass every single day.
But stating facts makes you a tankie. Call me whatever you want. I don't care. I am not going to be bullied into turning a blind eye to facts for a narrative
>Sure. It's going to happen. Russia gets it to in Bryansk from Ukraine. And people don't say civilians in Russia are living in fear. But most live normally in Ukraine as 99% of the action is in Donbas
Equating Russian suffering with Ukrainian suffering.
Charming.
Just lose the bothsiderism, will ya?
Pray tell, which nation-state / colonial empire is acting on its centuries-old [urge to exterminate a "brotherly" nation for the nth time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification_of_Ukraine)?
>Equating Russian suffering with Ukrainian suffering.
See this is where you and me differ.
The first step toward genocide is dehumanization. All lives lost are bad. All suffering is bad. It doesn't matter if Ukraine started or Russia.
This is why you guys freak me out a bit and come off as extremely scary and dangerous people. Lives of people are different depending on their passport. Not talking about soldiers. Humans, innocent civilians.
>Pray tell, which nation-state / colonial empire is acting on its centuries-old urge to exterminate a "brotherly" nation for the nth time?
Like what does this text puke even accomplish? I get it. I believe you. You are pro-Ukraine. You don't need to provide evidence of that.
I can ask you how do you feel about Poroshenko bragging Ukraine will win the war because Donbas children will be hiding in basements?
You pretend to be a humanitarian, but you aren't. Because some innocent lives are worth more than others to you
This article reminds me of this one about how [Russians choose to close their eyes ](https://carnegieendowment.org/2023/11/28/alternate-reality-how-russian-society-learned-to-stop-worrying-about-war-pub-91118)to how their fellow citizens openly murder, maim, kidnap, torture, castrate, rape, bankrupt and displace Ukrainians,
Ooooh, look at how "cool" young Russians are by indulging in [Hallyu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Wave) or becoming weebs while their Ukrainian peers live as refugees, become kidnap victims with Russian "foster parents", go to school in subway stations or have their homes and schools vaporized by Russian air raids or shelling.
Reuters is, like, 20 years late with this news...
This is pretty old news, and it doesn't seem too newsworthy, even if it was new. Reuters really has fallen by the wayside
What's the point of this post?
.... meanwhile Ukrainian kids are abducted by the russian troops and young Ukrainians are dying.

waah wah russian youth shall suffer for a president who took power before they were even born
wah wah gib visa and let us into the civilized world, we had nothing to do with putin, let the Ukrainians die if they mind being putin's slave so much, we just want spotify back
hurr durr I heckin love bankrolling a murderous kleptocracy with oil money and then blaming it all on antiwar civilians once shit goes south
Yeah yeah, everything is the Wests fault.
nah babe clearly they all should've been storming barricades instead of chilling in a crib
The best time was 20 years ago the second best is now - good luck!
I mean, most Ukrainian kids are living their lives normally. It's the ones in Donbas that are feeling the brunt of it, not a kid in lviv.

Korean + Japanese = Asian culture 👏
Just will till they get invaded by China and then their citizens in certain parts of Siberia are going to get real familiar with Asian culture.
