Amazon Reportedly Bans Anime Figurines Citing Child Pornography Concerns

Heh heh it’s not everyday that this job makes me lose my brain cells, but I do believe I’ll be feeling a little lightheaded after this one baby. I’ve certainly been no fan of anime figurines, even going as far as to write an article questioning why people spend so much money on them in the first place. That being said, while I didn’t understand it I definitely held no ill will against anyone who did enjoy collecting them, but apparently the same can’t be said for Amazon. You all are filthy child porn collectors in their eyes now. Shit, and I ordered an onahole from them ONE TIME so I’m sure I’m on the shit list too. 


On March 20th Chuck Gaffney came forward and posted that he was notified to remove several products from his store as Amazon would no longer allow them to be listed on their site as they do not sell products that β€œpromote child exploitation or characters resembling children in a sexually suggestive manner.”. Now that’s all well and good except these were completely normal figurines. Some were popular characters known to clearly not be kids, such as Robin from One Piece. At first I was hesitant to do an article based on a Twitter thread cause they’re pretty dumb over there, but according to another news outlet Chuck already gained some notoriety for attacking Amazon back in 2018 for pointlessly removing anime products from their site. This would be their second time fucking him offer and him reporting it so his word has a bit more weight.






As I mentioned before I have no attachment to anime figurines as a product, yet here I sit sad and disappointed with the world once again. Personally I’m like β€œyo these things are not fucking real people so who cares”, but I can understand Amazon not wanting to come under fire for allowing child anime characters to be depicted nude on their website. But that’s not the case here. Many of these were clearly adult characters and to my knowledge few were actually depicting a naked character, if any. This just seems like an overblown response to a nonexistent problem. 


The attack on anime never ceases soldiers. This is merely one more example of that. As for what can be done, probably not much. Figurine enthusiasts will have to take their business elsewhere I suppose. Do you care about figurines? Is Amazon overstepping for no reason? Can they do whatever they feel like since it’s their site? Don’t get banned in the comments below!

Flagging figurines for child porn, but then hosting thousands of books by hollywood and political elite pedophiles. Let's not forget all those those transgender books for brainwashing children to mutilate their genitals. World is a clown show. Keep paying your taxes. The US needs more foreign aid money to send to the UN so they can traffick more child sex slaves for the elites.

Don't own any nor do I really care much for them apart for some from VERY specific series but this is not solving anything at all. If they truly want to deal with CP then go after the real sources, the scumbags and fuckheads who make/trade that shit.

I bet every single person behind this banning of Anime figures is into Child porn

I never understood the reasoning to ban fictional works for pornography. It's plastic or pieces of paper, nobody is harmed in its production.

On the rare occasion they have more reasons than "I don't like it", they say it causes people to do it in real life. It couldn't be the opposite; everyone on this site has insane orgies every night. Japan is overpopulating due to hentai consumption.

I just went to Amazon, and I still see plenty of Robin figures on sale listed. Even the one that is suppose to be 'banned'. Heck, I see a pre-order for a new Kung-Fu figure, showing Robin in a nice Chinese Cheogasm while she is holding two short swords. Sexy. :)

Time to go Good Smile official site. They have better pre-order bonus deal there. And AmiAmi.

Imagine a figure of wonder woman or catwoman would not be removed. Since "EVERYONE" must know they are adults by the fact of growing up with them and having the word woman there.

Really? I had for years seen OP girl figurines sold on Amazon, and I even bought some through the website - Robin, Vivi, Hancock, and Nami. What figurines are Amazon making a fuss now? None I have seen are naked. Makes no sense, especially given these girls are all adults, not children.

I definitely am for the non production of suggestive figures of kid characters ( and I've seen a few ) cause regardless of arguments I've first hand seen it have an effect irl but this is fucking excessive nico is almost fucking thirty she's older than I am and doesn't even look like a child.

Also I googled those lucky star ones and they're totally fuckin innocent and innocuous
