CATDOLL: Advertisements endorsed by 2D characters spark heated debate over whether they can induce minors to drink alcohol

When it comes to the user groups targeted by animation, minors account for a very large proportion of them, and many people also think that animation is only used to entertain minors. In Japan, where the two-dimensional culture is prevalent, the images of the two-dimensional world are used for publicity in every aspect of life. This is also the case with many TV commercials. It is precisely because of this that an alcoholic beverage advertisement endorsed by a two-dimensional character has aroused different opinions from the public, who believe that it is easier to induce minors to drink.

Because the content implies promoting drinking to minors?

The reason why viewers protested against this kind of advertisement is that animation is mainly aimed at minors, so it may give them a bad impression. In addition, there are also protests such as "Children may think it is juice." "Children will think drinking is a simple thing."

But some people were angry about the ban.

However, in the face of the ban on advertising, many people also think: "This will limit the performance of advertising." "Is it interesting to protest at every turn now?" In this regard, some people working in the animation industry also expressed their views:

"As an industry insider, I was very angry when I heard the news that the ad was stopped. Really, this is a joke. Why can't this kind of ad be aired? In animation, many characters can drink alcohol while naked, so why can't normal adult anime characters drink alcohol in commercials? I remember seeing similar ads a lot when I was a kid. What's going on now... If you want to protest, please think about the problem carefully before taking action."

Protests should be done with caution

Not only this anime character advertisement incident, but now there are many people protesting just for the sake of protesting, so the whole society should call on "Think carefully before protesting". Because if it continues, not only anime characters can't be used in alcohol advertisements, but there may be more things that will be banned.

In this regard, many Japanese netizens also commented: "I remember that there was a holy light in the scene where Shizuka exposed her panties some time ago. Are children nowadays so fragile? Didn't you who are protesting watch it when you were young?" "What's wrong with anime characters shooting alcohol commercials..." "Teacher Xiaomeng is going to cry." So, anime fans, what do you think about this issue?
