Jimmy: You've got my attention. Explain how you're going to fix this.

Shuang: Learn to code. All humans need to learn how the code, at least the basics. Because you need that knowledge to build robots, and that's where the jobs are going to come from. But humans need $1,000 per month so they have time to learn. And support their families. These things need to happen at the same time, so we must support them.

I am a computer hacker and a Taoist. I am a magician and a scientist. I didn't get skills to look cool. I got the skills because I needed to survive. And if someone like me still worries about getting a job, then you can imagine what it's like for the average normie...

Darkseid: You say you want to give them time. Are you implying that there are jobs available if they don't get $1,000 for free?

Shuang: Minimum wage jobs, but they will still soon go out of existence. Robots will flip your burgers and handle your groceries. And then what happens to the average person? How are they going to live? They need time to learn computer skills. But if they're starving to death, they won't have a chance to learn. That's where the $1,000 comes in.

Long Cheng: But where are the $1,000 going to come from? Is the government going to print it out? And inflate the prices of everything up by $1,000?

Shuang: The billionaires will pay for it.

Seto Kaiba: As a billionaire, I'm not paying more in taxes. If you raise them, I'm leaving.

Shuang: It will be a global tax. You can't escape. Look, this is about human rights. At least I have a plan to address the issue. None of you seem to care! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET BILLIONS DIE??!?!

~ Health Care Debate Highlights ~

Santa Claus: Wouldn't you agree that health care is a human right?

Homer: Yes, but, it can't be free. We can't force billionaires to pay for everything.

Darkseid: Soon there would be no more billionaires.

Homer: I support private and employer-based health care.

What I mean by that is that private companies can provide health care. If you have a full-time job, your employer must provide you with health care. You don't pay a dime if you have a job.

Shuang: And where are the jobs going to come from? Robots are taking over the world!

Darkseid: Look, you still need humans to fix the robots. You still need humans to run the restaurants. Worst case scenario, robots form their own society and just leave us alone. I'm talking about the case where they become self-aware. I don't want war with the machines. If you don't want to work with us, you can go get your own planet.

Guthix: We can lower the cost of prescription drugs. Just open up the free market. Stop bailing out corporations!

~ Education Debate Highlights ~

Homer: Kids are failing math and science. We need a plan to bring them back on track!

Superman: Exactly. That's why you shouldn't be here, Homer.

Guthix: We need smaller class sizes and more funding for teachers. We also need to deal with mental health, which is now a huge issue for university students. I was told that the university professors are not hired based on their teaching skills. This is a problem that shouldn't exist.

~ Special Topic Debate Highlights ~

Deadpool: Important question from the Democratic-Liberal Committee. Raise your hand if you will make all the illegal immigrants legal. Anyone who came into a country illegally would be able to stay.

Guthix is the only one who does not raise his hand.

Deadpool: Guthix, explain your choice.

Guthix: It would be anarchy. Borders exist for a reason. And we have no idea if they're good or evil. So it sounds good, but it's too dangerous.

Protestors: STOP DEPORTATIONS! IMMIGRANTS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

Deadpool: Please wait while security escorts them out.

Jimmy: Seto, your workers have accused you of bullying them. Making them work overtime without pay. Often overnight without breaks.

Given your bad human rights record, why should anyone vote for you?

Seto Kaiba: They are what they are. Just accusations without evidence. I always pay my employees. And overtime is part of the contract. Children's card games is a surprisingly tough business. We spend a lot of time working on the new duel disks and selling cards.

Deadpool: Santa, you told Junko that women can't be presidents. Is this true?

Santa Claus: False. I never said that.

Deadpool: Junko, how did you feel when Santa told you that women can't be presidents?

Junko: I felt despair.

It was great, but then it was really bad! I feel so oppressed! Santa, Y U BULLI???!

Santa Claus: O_o

SpongeBob: IN 10 YEARS, CLIMATE CHANGE WILL END THE WORLD! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Deadpool: Dude, you need to chill out.

SpongeBob: I CAN'T CHILL OUT WHILE EVERYONE'S DYING!!! YOU CAN MAKE TRADE DEALS!! YOU CAN DO THINGS, BUT YOU MUST PUT THE CLIMATE FIRST!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!! EVERYTHING IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!! AHHHHHH!!!

~ Closing Statement Highlights ~

Guthix: Thank you again for your support. I look forward to the RuneScape primary and caucus. I am confident that I will pull through.

Santa Claus: Things can be free. Don't let capitalist normies tell you otherwise.

Homer: Don't forget to text Homer to 10100 on your microwave for the latest updates on my campaign. People don't want a revolution. They just want results. I've been there and done that. Don't forget to check out my website on your baking oven. Let's bring people together and not divide them. Thank you.

Deadpool: AND THAT'S YOUR DEBATE!!!! SEE YOU NEXT TIME AFTER THE FIRST VOTES ARE CAST!!! WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!

*APPLAUSE*

Junko: Bro, you called me a liar on TV.

Santa Claus: I am not your bro...Look, let's talk about this later. Private message me.

Junko: DESPAIR!!!! <3

8:00 AM

*GUNSHOTS*
*FIREWORKS*
*SIRENS*

Mass protests surround the Multiverse League Headquarters, where the Senate trial is taking place. The senators had to be escorted into the building by the police.

Protestors: NO ANIME! NO TOUHOU! NO CONSERVATIVES AT ALL!

Protestors: IMPEACH FASCIST TOUHOU!!!

Speaker 1: ANIME IS FASCISM! ANIME COMES FROM THE RIGHT-WING IMPERIALIST JAPAN!
WE KNOW THEY'RE BACKED BY MALE SUPREMACISTS! JAPAN WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! WE MUST STOP THE FASCISTS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

Speaker 2: MAKE NO MISTAKE!!! THIS IS A REFERENDUM ON REIMU HAKUREI, THE BOSS FASCIST!!! SHE IS ENABLING THE TOXIC MALE ESTABLISHMENT!!! ANIME WILL DESTROY US ALL UNLESS WE STOP THEM NOW!!!

Not all protestors are against anime and video games, though.

Protestors: WE WANT FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!! STOP THE SHAM TRIAL!!!

Protestors: GAMERS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!! RIGHT TO GAME! RIGHT TO GAME!

Speaker 3: THE LEFT HAS SHOWN THEIR TRUE COLOURS!!! THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY OUR ANIME!!! THEY WANT TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM!!!

Speaker 4: WALK AWAY!!!!!! WALK AWAY FROM THE INSANITY!!! WALK AWAY FROM THE MAN-HATERS!!! MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AGAIN!!!

Police: THIS IS AN UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY. YOU MUST DISPERSE OR WE WILL USE LETHAL FORCE!!!

Protestors: WHO DO YOU SERVE? WHO DO YOU PROTECT?

Police: YOU MUST DISPERSE NOW! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!

Drones drop tear gas on the crowds. The protestors run away screaming.

Wise Old Man: We're with the RuneScape News Network. What do you think?

Speaker 1: Anime is fascist. We know they're linked to male supremacists. Anime is the propaganda of the Japanese Empire!

Speaker 3: This is all part of a plan to take away our freedom. They are the real fascists!

8:30 AM

*WHISTLES*
*SHOUTING*

Officer: EVERYONE MOVE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION! DO NOT PANIC!

The senators gather in the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

Misaka: Wow, I didn't think it would get this bad.

Marisa: It's really bad. All of these people have been brainwashed by these lies. It's really their fault. Superman and his buddies.

Goku: Hi, guys!

Misaka: Did you assume my gender? Lol, just kidding.

They grab some fried eggs and toast.

Marisa: I don't like the debates, but the food here is really nice.

Misaka: And the paycheque. Although this is not something I would consider as a career. There's just too much shouting, and the arguments are really dumb!

Kirito: Do you have a career in mind?

Misaka: Honestly, no. Probably just some regular 9-to-5 job. There's too much drama with being a superhero or a politician. How about you?

Kirito: Gamer.

Marisa: Meh. I just do what I want.

Goku: Superheroes don't get paid, so I understand why some of my friends have jobs.

Misaka: How much did you get? From the House job, I mean.

Guthix: 10,000 American dollars.

Misaka: Now that's amazing.

Guthix: And that's on top of the free food and dormitory here.

Marisa: Well, it's not free. The taxpayers, corporations, etc. all paid for this.

Guthix: And the people who paid to watch the debates.

*bell dings*

Senate Leader: The Senate trial is about to begin. Please proceed to the Senate Chambers.

Wonder Woman: You heard the protestors outside. Clearly, the people have spoken. Anime has no place in our civilized society.

Peter: Anime is evil. There are so many evil men running the show.

Thanos: Goblin Slayer!

Guthix: There were protestors in our favour. But yeah, I guess you don't care about them, do you?

Misaka: Wonder Woman, I need to respond to you for the other day. We must guard against people like you, who create distracting fake arguments to keep us running in circles. You enable the toxic behaviour we saw outside. Take responsibility and admit you're wrong. Tell your people to go home!

Mario: Not all games are toxic. Have you tried my games?

Also, a lot of women play my games. Video games are not just for men, you know.

House Leader: Your Honour, I request more witnesses, please. We haven't seen enough of the arguments, and we're almost out of time.

Senate Leader: Do you want to extend the trial?

House Leader: Yes, sir. We haven't said enough-

Protestors: STOP ANIME!!! IMPEACH CONSERVATIVES!!!

*BANG!*

Judge: Order! Order!

Senate Leader: Please wait.

The security guards bring the protestors out of the room.

Senate Leader: I can't grant you that. The rules are rules.

House Leader: If you care about the integrity of anime and games, then you need to bring more witnesses to the table. On both sides. This isn't a trial. We didn't get enough testimonies-

Protestors: END THIS CIRCUS NOW!!! FREE ANIME!!!

*BANG!*

Judge: Order! Order!

The security guards bring the protestors out of the room.

House Leader: We didn't get enough testimonies to draw a conclusion. We need more information, and since you conservatives have the senate majority, you should do it.

Senate Leader: Up to you.

Natsumi: Absolutely no way. You had your chance, and so did we. You had your chance to bring forth all the witnesses you wanted. We don't need to bring in new witnesses. We don't need to do your job for you. Ridiculous.

Guthix: I support the conservatives. There is nothing else to discuss. You've been repeating the same talking points for the past month. Enough is enough.

Misaka: Agreed. I'm absolutely committing my vote to not impeach anime and video games!

Judge: OK. It's your Senate. Your choice. Any closing statements before we close the trial?

Thanos: It would be nice to bring that Goblin Slayer guy in to testify.

Guthix: *facepalms*

Darkseid: Goblin Slayer's over, unfortunately...

House Leader: Excuse me, the final word is mine-
What are you-

Superman rushes to the podium.

Superman: We have reached the final curtain call.

We have reached the end of this trial.

Remember what I said about looking at the forest and not the trees.
Remember what I said about looking at the big picture.

Try to look back at the debates as a whole. Try to see the main ideas.

Think about our argument. Think about their argument.

Think about who appealed to social justice and who didn't.
Think about the women and children who are watching this trial.
Can you really forgive anime? Can you really forgive video games?
Is this who we are as a society? To allow some hateful memes online and on TV?
To live in a so-called civilized society where crimes are committed online?

Who do you serve? Who do you protect?

The big toxic man. Or the innocent women and children of the world?

The choice is yours. I hope you can live with it.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this trial possible.
Thank you to all of my companions, my friends, and my family for your support.
Thank you to all of the viewers for their patience through the long hours.

Thank you.

I yield the floor.

Senate Leader: Who wants the last word?

Guthix: Go ahead.

Natsumi: Alright, if you insist.

Natsumi steps up the podium.

Natsumi: The advice comes from hypocrites who are still stuck in the woods. We have always been about the big picture.

I serve and protect the people of the world. Men, women, children, everyone.
Their hopes. Their dreams. Their goals. Their hearts.

I serve and protect the rights and freedoms of everyone. Their right to play. Their right to laugh. Their right to create and enjoy art.

This notion of social justice, which claims to defend women and children, is a big fraud. They accuse us of the very things that they do. Their toxic behaviours. Their oppression. Their fascism. There is no evidence that anime has ever corrupted society or ever will. The same goes for video games.

This whole idea of a "toxic man" is a straw man argument designed to frame anime as the ultimate evil. The "evil man" stereotype was born due to ignorance and a real lack of research. That is the toxic behaviour. They want to oppress us by taking away the things we love.

They want to claim that any opinions that they disagree with is "hate speech", and we should be banned for saying it. That is their fascism.

Indeed, this whole plot to impeach anime and video games is nothing more than virtue signalling. Nothing less and nothing more.

I am glad that we have finally reached the end of this farce.

I thank everyone for making this trial possible, and for their patience in the long debates.
I thank my colleagues, my friends, and my family for their support.
I thank my opponents for showing us what makes anime and video games great.
It's obviously the freedom of speech. Of course, I thank the viewers who managed to watch this circus, even if it's just a part.

Thank you.

I yield the floor.

Judge: I hereby declare the Senate trial to be concluded. Please come back here on February 12 for the vote. Attendance is mandatory. You will not get your paycheque if you do not show up to vote. Please think about the arguments before you make your decision. This is the most important decision you'll ever make in your life.

*BANG!*

5:00 PM

Some protests are still going, so everyone stays inside the dormitories. The witnesses were escorted by the police back to their home universes.

Marisa: I guess this is goodbye. But don't worry, we'll see each other around.

Misaka: Thank you, my friend.

Goku: I got to go. Good luck in the vote.

Guthix: Take care, buddy.

Misaka: This is going to be a close one...

Guthix: YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE!!! NEVER GIVE UP!

All we can do now is believe.

~ Opening Statement Highlights ~

Reimu: THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT! MAKE EVERYTHING GREAT AGAIN!
WOOT!!!!

Misaka: Thank you to my supporters. Let's make this election a good one.

~ Anime and Video Games Impeachment Debate Highlights ~

Laura: Anime fans are "super predators". They are angry old men who are not married, who get drunk every night, and they live in their mothers' basements. They are in a basket of deplorables. To give their pathetic lives meaning, they attack, they harass, and they bully innocent women on the Internet.

We know that 4chan is their favourite gathering site. It's where they can meet other losers and create offensive memes together. We know that Reimu is their representative. Reimu is popular because she has been brought the big bad man out to vote.

We know that her friends are covering it up with the "muh freedom of speech" excuse.
We know they are profiting off the toxic male dollars with their anime and video games. They refuse to admit that they are corrupting society. Indeed, impeaching them all is not only the right choice, it is the moral choice.

Reimu: Yeah, that's nice. Who paid you to say that?

Laura: The fact that you refuse to address my argument shows your utter incompetence. If you're going to cover it up, you might as well at least try to address the argument.

Reimu: That wasn't a real argument, so I don't need to address it. Who paid you to say that? Now that's a real question.

Laura: What? This is my own opinion.

Reimu: What a liar. You just came in here with no donors. Yeah, it was the Conservative-Republican Committee. I bet they're the ones behind this whole impeachment hoax too!
If you want me to debate you, first prove to me that you have a real argument.
Who are the toxic males? The construction workers? The sewer workers?
The plumbers? The bus drivers? The engineers?

Laura: Well, that's...I mean, it could be anyone.

Reimu: The unemployed man who rents basements? Or maybe the man who needs to take care of his mother? Are they toxic?

Laura: Look, I can't give you a definite answer, but the unemployed ones are the most angry ones. They are the bullies.

Reimu: Oh, really? You know, I spoke to some unemployed men. Really nice people. Hopes and dreams. Things that you would never understand. And you know what? You're more toxic than any of them. Maybe stop bullying anime fans, hypocrite, and get some real friends.

Natsumi: I thought the trial was over. Anyways, the people who are going after anime are the toxic ones. They blame us for their own flaws. They keep talking about this "toxic man" who represents barely 0.1% of men.

~ Economy Debate Highlights ~

Reimu: I WILL MAKE JOBS GREAT AGAIN!

Lex: But-
