Answerman - Are We At Risk for Censorship of LGBTQ+/Adult Material Because of U.S. 2025 Federal Policies?
📚✨ Censorship Risks for LGBTQ+ and Adult Content in the U.S. by 2025
The rise in book bans and censorship of graphic novels in the U.S. has sparked concerns for LGBTQ+ and adult material in upcoming years, particularly in 2025 and beyond. According to reports, over 1,000 censorship attempts were made in 2023, targeting hundreds of graphic novels and a variety of content, including LGBTQ+ themes and manga like "Attack on Titan", "My Hero Academia: Vigilantes", and even classics like "Inuyasha". These restrictions have extended not just to public libraries, but often to school libraries.
🎨📖 The movement to restrict such material isn’t just politically or socially driven but sometimes arises from parental complaints, as seen in the banning of "Unico: Awakening Vol. 1" last year due to concerns about violence and animal cruelty. This growing censorship trend could even lead to rising costs for manga due to potential tariffs on imports, which might reduce the availability of certain titles even outside the U.S. With manga already cherished by diverse audiences, these restrictions could have far-reaching impacts.
🚨 The battle over book censorship highlights how fragile access to diverse stories can be. From classics like "Sailor Moon" to stories with nuanced characters like those in "Hunter x Hunter", manga and comics have long been spaces for inclusion. As we head toward 2025, fans and publishers alike are urged to stay vigilant in protecting creative freedom. What are your thoughts on how we can ensure these stories remain accessible? 📚✨
