And so, with great regret we bring to you the following charges of the impeachment on anime and video games:

I. ABUSE OF POWER
- Corruption of society
- High crimes against humanity
- Toxic masculinity

II. OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
- Covering up crimes
- Lying to outsiders
- Not taking issues seriously; normalization of toxic behaviour

While we understand that not all anime fans are bad people, and not all anime characters are bad people, we need you to understand that there are bad elements within your culture, within your people. So after impeachment, here's our proposal to make it better:

I. BAN ALL ANIME AND VIDEO GAMES
II. BLOCK ALL ANIME AND VIDEO GAME VOTES

We cannot allow the toxic fanbases to stop us from improving society. These measures are temporary, and after we change anime and video games to be family-friendly, we will lift the impeachment.

Now, we welcome your thoughts and concerns. After a healthy discussion, we hope to pass both articles of impeachment and send them off to the Senate right away.

Guthix: Question. Is RuneScape included as a video game?

House Leader: That depends. If it contains toxic content, it may be banned. Now, I will let Wonder Woman begin the argument.

Wonder Woman: Thank you for having me here. We live in extraordinary times of unprecedented things. There are lots of nasty anime, some of which I can't even mention here. From Eromanga Sensei to Goblin Slayer, there is so much offensive content for the toxic male.

In Eromanga Sensei, women are not treated as human beings. They are denied their fundamental rights. They are slaves to men. It is disgusting.

In the infamous Goblin Slayer, women are literally killed on the spot. Women are the victims of unspeakable crimes.

Then there's No Game No Life, where women literally have no life. And Konosuba, where toxic masculinity is the law.

I could go on and on, but I won't, because you should get the idea.

Too many anime shows revolve around toxic male protagonists enslaving women like pawns on a chessboard. What kind of message are we sending to the young people? That this is OK? What are our morals as a society? Is this really acceptable? If you care about morals, then you know what to do.

*applause*

House Leader: Alright, who wants to respond?

Gohan raises his hand and he is directed to the podium.

Gohan: Thank you for having me here. I know we're all nervous. This is the first time we've had a government. Again, I thank the volunteers who made this possible.

I respect your views, Wonder Woman, and I respect women. I am happily married with a baby daughter.

However, your views on anime are wrong. While it is true that there are toxic elements, these toxic things do not define anime. Anime clearly establishes that these things are bad, and you should be a good person. You ignore anime like Dragonball Z, where the protagonist, my father, is a great man who always puts others first.

Anime is meant to show the contrast between good and evil. Evil villains are supposed to be evil. Otherwise, what's the point? Where is the conflict? You see these bad things to hate the villains, and to want the heroes to win. Anime is meant to show emotions, and the conflict between good and evil.

*applause*

Wonder Woman: But what about Goblin Slayer? You talked about Dragonball Z, but you did not address the anime that are toxic.

House Leader: Can anyone step up to defend Goblin Slayer?

Monkey D. Luffy steps up.

Luffy: Hi. Goblin Slayer is an interesting...case...it's about a guy who slays goblins, and he cares only about that. I just watched it last night so...ummm...I think you misunderstand it. The goblins attack women because they are the bad guys. The story supports killing the goblins and protecting the women.

Wonder Woman: That doesn't change the fact that toxic male fan service is all over this story. That doesn't change the fact that women lived and died in this story.

Guthix: Excuse me, I really need to take over here. Yes, sometimes anime is toxic. But so what? It's just, like you said, a story. As long as the people aren't trying to copy this story in real life, it's no big deal. You see crazy stuff on TV all the time. That doesn't mean we should go out and do these things.

Bottom line. If they're just watching anime and not affecting society, leave them alone.

Eric Cartman: But they're not just sitting there and watching anime, mm'kay? The toxic boys are going outside and destroying society. And they're being trolls on 4chan. We must protect our families from the wrath of the evil trolls...

Judge: Thank you for coming today. That concludes our debate. We will continue on December 6, 9-12, and 17-19. We will have our vote on December 20 before the holidays.
This meeting is adjourned.

The judge bangs the gavel on the table.

*BANG!*

6:00 PM

~ December 6 Highlights ~

Thanos: YOU ARE THE TOXIC MAN!

InuYasha: HOW DARE YOU!

Mickey Mouse: We can't just keep pandering to the Big Man.

Naruto: Anime is not just for men. It's for everyone.

~ December 9-12 Highlights ~

Thanos: Another bombshell we've got for you is Shield Hero. In this anime, women are literally enslaved by the big toxic male protagonist. He is a very big angry man who blames women for all of his problems and wants to conquer the world.

Eric Cartman: Anime is racist. It is bigoted.

Gohan: Anime is not racist. We have diversity. We have equal rights.

Guthix: Anime teaches people to be good.

Wonder Woman: Then why doesn't the guy in KonoSuba come up here and defend himself? Why won't these men testify in court? If they're innocent, then what's the problem?

Guthix: Because this is not a real trial!

House Leader: This is the trial of anime and video games.

Guthix: Look, this is a power grab. You people don't care about morals. You just want to falsely accuse anime and video games to get them banned, because you normies can't compete with them. Think about that.

Is it a coincidence that this whole circus started when the polls showed Reimu in the lead?
Is it a coincidence that we're having this sham soon after the anime Touhou populism movement was born?

This is just a move to get anime voter suppression. It's as simple as that. No more and no less. You want to shut down the anime multiverse vote to stop Reimu from getting the nomination.

You want to silence the will of the people. You want to smear Reimu as this enabler of the toxic male to take away her credibility and her dignity as a human being.

You hypocrites claim to care about women. You're HURTING one right now! You're HURTING all the women who love anime and who dedicated their lives to create it! And the same goes for video games!

And if you still think I'm just a conspiracy theorist, think again. This isn't fanfiction.

This is reality.

*applause*

House Leader: OK, let's assume that what you just said is true. Why are you defending anime and video games? You are clearly not an anime character?

Guthix: Freedom of speech. Plain and simple. Just because I don't agree with something doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. I will defend your right to make anime and video games, even if I'm not a fan.

*APPLAUSE*
*CHEERS*

~ December 13, 2019 ~

Wise Old Man: Well, that debate was really something. Honestly never seen something like this in my entire life.

Guthix: I had to make up for that bad first debate performance.

Wise Old Man: You've done more than make up for it. You've owned the House.
You have the momentum going into the second debate. Good luck.

Guthix: I don't need luck. I have mad skills.

Quizmaster: The crazy thing is, Guthix did not qualify until the second debate until today. A lot of donors piled up for him. That speech definitely did the trick.

Guthix: It's not a trick. It's the truth. :)

Santa Claus: I am here for the revolution.

Deadpool: A big change to our debate format. We need to start with the impeachment debate in the House. The debates will continue on December 17-19, and the vote will be made on December 20. Depending on the outcome, anime and video games could be impeached by next week. What do you think? 3 minutes per candidate, 40 minutes maximum.

~ Anime and Video Games Impeachment Debate Highlights ~

Superman: I want to start first by talking about justice. This is not just about anime and video game justice. This is about environmental justice. Social justice. Health care justice. Educational justice. Climate justice. Street justice. Trade justice. You get the idea.

Eric: Heck yes, we're taking away the anime and video games! We're taking away the manga and the live streams! We're taking away fanmade anime too! Too many innocent people have died as a result of toxic masculinity. Too many innocent women have suffered the wrath of the evil men.

Junko: Meh. I don't really care. If it makes people feel despair, then yeah sure. Go for it!

Guthix: For the last time, anime is just a story. Video games are just games. You can't just ban something just because it makes you feel uncomfortable. And you have no evidence that any of this causes toxic masculinity.

Superman: Challenge. With all due respect, Guthix, you just don't get it. There is always the possibility that some men out there will take this seriously, and use it to hurt women. As long as humans have evil in their hearts, we simply cannot afford the risks.

Guthix: Humans will always have "evil" in their hearts. If there are no "good" people, there are no "evil" people to compare them to. You need something "good" to compare to something "evil". We could have a perfect society right now, and you would call me "evil" because I have a different opinion.

Superman: I need to respond! You are going off-topic! We clearly do not live in a perfect society! And by evil, I am referring to the men who use anime and video games to hurt women! You must agree that is an objective evil, just like 1 + 1 = 2. It is a fact. It is the evidence!

Guthix: OH, COME ON! You're the one drawing up these ridiculous hypothetical scenarios! What kind of cowardly man hides behind a cartoon to hurt women? Men don't need excuses to go after women, they've been doing it all the time since the dawn of time, and they will continue to do that even after you ban all of civilization!

Deadpool: OK, STOP! I'll have to let this go so we can move on the next topic.

~ Economy Debate Highlights ~

Homer: I have worked a full-time job. I know what it takes to get it done.

Shuang: My plan to give everyone $1,000 per month for free will stimulate the economy. People can finally pay off their debts and move on with their lives. Maybe even start their own small businesses.

The whole socialism vs. capitalism thing is so out of date. This is 2020, not 1950. We live in a new society, and new problems require new solutions. I'm ready to move forward. Are you? ;)

Long Cheng: Lol, who's going to pay for that? Exactly! You have no idea. We're already taxing the billionaires out of their minds. I propose actually putting more people into work. Lay off the welfare, and actually get a job.

~ Health Care Debate Highlights ~

Santa Claus: I will make health care free for everyone. This is not a joke. My website has the details.

Darkseid: I have to challenge that. Mind explaining how it's going to work? Just a bit.

Santa Claus: The billionaires aren't paying their fair share of taxes. If they do, it will happen.

~ Education Debate Highlights ~

Santa Claus: I will make education free.

Superman: Challenge. How??!?!

Santa Claus: The billionaires will pay for it.

Superman: Explain.

Santa Claus: Conservatives in the past have always accused people like me of being socialists, while they're being socialists for the rich. Corporate bailout after bailout, conservatives refuse to spare a penny for the poor, but will dump billions into the big banks to keep the economy up. This trickle down economy does not work. Prosperity will not somehow "trickle down" to the poor. The rich people will hoard the money. Maybe even put it into gold and silver.

Every Christmas, I give out gifts to all the good people in the world. It breaks my heart, year after year, to see poor children rely on my gifts to survive. And not just in poor countries, but in supposed First-World countries too. I want to make Christmas every day, not just one day where people pretend to be nice.

There. Are you not satisfied? ^_^

~ Special Topic Debate Highlights ~

SpongeBob: I want to talk about climate change.

Jimmy: Go ahead.

SpongeBob: On day one, if I become president, I will declare a multiverse emergency on climate change. This is the biggest crisis of our existence. It must be our first priority. Look, it's not good enough to make trade deals while climate sits in the back seat. We need new deals that put climate first. We can do it in a way that makes us richer, since we are capitalists, but we must do it.

Superman: You came here just to talk about that?

SpongeBob: All trade deals. Education, health care, etc. must PUT CLIMATE FIRST!
I come from Bikini Bottom, where I have been the victim of climate change!

Superman: With all due respect, you are confusing climate with nuclear radiation. Bikini Bottom was not born from climate change. It came from nuclear tests.

~ Closing Statement Highlights ~

Guthix: Again, thank you for bringing me here. Please check out my website, and spread the word. I need your support to stay on this stage to keep fighting for you!

Junko: If you're tired of governments and people, join me, and let's make the world despair!

Deadpool: OKIE DOKIE!!!! THAT CONCLUDES OUR EPIC DEBATE!!!! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!

*APPLAUSE*

~ December 17-19 Highlights ~

Thanos: The anime community is covering up their crimes. They know that there are toxic males within their group, and they refuse to admit it. They protect their toxic males by lying to outsiders, to people who don't know what anime is. They refuse to take their issues seriously. They laugh it off with memes and jokes on social media.

Wonder Woman: Look at 4chan. A lot of the memes involve women being bullied, oppressed, and abused. Men post memes and laugh at them. They laugh at the women who are being belittled. They laugh at humanity.

Mickey Mouse: Anime does not lift people up. It brings people down, mostly women, to make the lonely basement man feel better about himself.

Eric Cartman: This is unacceptable. This kind of disgusting behaviour has no place in our society. We need to not only impeach anime and video games, but also arrest the men who are posting these memes online.

Guthix: What are you talking about? Do you even watch anime? Or did you just take 4chan memes out of context?

Luffy: Anime is about adventure and love. Most anime shows show the good in humanity. Most of us, the anime characters, dedicate our lives to destroying evil.

Gohan: Most of these memes are harmless. They're not bullying women. They're complimenting women. They are saying good things about women. And yes, jokes are jokes. But they are laughing at the funny anime memes, not at women, not at humanity.
And how can you assume that all anime fans are men? What about women who watch anime? Or did you just ignore them?

Just like you ignored everything that doesn't fit your narrative?

Guthix: I'm hearing a lot of buzzwords and no real arguments.

Thanos: OK, you want an argument? Let's talk about Goblin Slayer. You still haven't responded to that.

Naruto: For the last time, Goblin Slayer is about slaying goblins and protecting women. The whole point of the story is to show that evil exists in the world, and we must work together to defeat it.

Wonder Woman: They could've done that without the fan service. You aren't seriously denying the fact that they use fan service to sell their story?

Luffy: It's not fan service. It's a perfectly normal part of human life. We're not going to ban perfectly normal human behaviour!

Naruto: People go on dates all the time in real life. People want to find their soulmate.

Thanos: Dates aren't the problem. It's the way the toxic males have turned the relationships into something toxic. Even if the story wasn't originally toxic, the basement men post memes on 4chan to make the story toxic.

Guthix: That's not anime's problem. That's their problem.

Eric: Then wouldn't you agree that we need to stop them?

Guthix: You can't stop them. Even if you ban everything today, they'll still be toxic. We need to teach people good morals in school. That's how you stop toxic memes on 4chan.
Banning anime will just make men more angry.

Gohan: Again, most of the memes aren't even toxic. They're normal jokes.

Naruto: And are the men really that toxic? O_o

~ December 20 Highlights ~

5:00 PM

Judge: Thank you for your hard work in making this debate possible. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to debate. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped set everything up. You will all receive a nice Christmas surprise in your bank accounts.

I understand that both sides are not satisfied with the way things went. A lot of talking points were covered, but a lot of talking points were missed.

Unfortunately, now it's time to make a decision. To impeach or not to impeach.

That is the question.
