War with cartoons

The ban on anime in Russia exposes the ideological conflict of power and youth

In the chaotic stream of power repressions aimed at self -preservation, the news of the St. Petersburg court over the Japanese cartoons was lost like a bugagashniper, unworthy of public attention.

In my opinion, in vain, because it is one thing - a reaction to the anger of the day (the arrest of political opponents, the fight against unauthorized rallies and calls on social networks for “illegal actions”), and ideological demarcals are completely different. The latter, of course, are not so dramatic, but they are much more relief _Theliography about the internal processes that seet up in the power elites.

In the list of ideological demarry of the last time, the Duma initiative with disguised as a younger generation licensed by the licensing of a popular scullarism, as well as the plot chose to discuss the struggle against Japanese cartoons, camouflaged under the same care, appears.

I suggest the reader to refresh the canvas of events in the imagination. On January 20, the Kolpinsky District Court of St. Petersburg examined the claim of the prosecutor’s office, which demanded to prohibit the distribution of four anime: “Death Note”, “Tokyo Ghoul”, “Elven Song” and “Inuyashiki” located on JUT.SU and AnimeteatR.Club portals.

Personally, I was remembered by three points: group viewing of incriminating evidence in the hall, the argumentation of professional psychologists and one replica of the judge, which turned out to be eloquent than the whole of this event as a whole.

During the group viewing, Judge Dmitry Nikulin was first put the wrong one - the second - the series of the series “Inuyashiki”, in which there was no reason to ban, but then they found the right one - the third, in which the secondary character makes terrible: kills other boys with a finger (in the literal sense of the word). Well, kills and kills, not getting used to the cinema, but at the same time the character does not demonstrate the proper empathy .

The expert invited by the prosecutor’s office, candidate of psychological sciences, associate professor, head of the Department of Pedagogy of the Family of the St. Petersburg Academy of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education Oleg Erlich said: “Life is the most expensive for a person, but here we see that life does not cost anything at all. Because to kill a person, directing a finger, [easy] - killed and did not experience any negative emotions at all. In fact, we see that such films arise a destructive beginning, and we have adolescents on average in Russia complet the life of a suicide of about two thousand. Including at the expense of such films, maybe such a large growth of the number. And adolescents are the most valuable in the population. ”

After such a revelation of the expert, it became clear to everyone in the hall that this is only in the rest of the world, adolescents have a life with life due to the hopelessness of their being-surviving in poverty, lack of prospects for career and spiritual growth, immorality and hypocriticality of the surrounding society, contempt for “values” and the ideals of consumerism, etc.

In our “population” “the most valuable” imposes hands on the fault of Japanese cartoons. It remains to ban them, and the question will resolve.

The second remembered moment is the totality of arguments involved in experts in the spiritual life of the “most valuable” in our “population”. It makes no sense to comment on this, just quit. Offhand:

- Such scenes are formed by the future generation of killers and sadists. The psyche is reformatted through the image. In the future we will encounter the Society of killers and sadists. We already now have a lot of psychopaths that prevent society from living normally. But such films ... How did we have a child’s psyche before? Grandma or grandfather told a fairy tale and commented on what was good and what was bad. And here no one says what is good and what is bad, understand? (Vasily Georgievich Belov, doctor of psychological sciences with work experience for more than 30 years).

- Even the assistant professor was divided where the brakes are as strong as possible, and the child is not an associate professor, he saw that it was good. He is awakened by interest in this topic, evil and cruelty are cultivated. I am sure that parents will face a disproportionately tough attitude of children to loved ones. (He.)

- The pedophiles come from there, because the film shows that incest is permissible. Here you have a ready -made pedophile. (He.)

- Here, due to bright figurative influences on the psyche of the child, destructive potential is formed, because acts of aggression are demonstrated here. Aggression outside will easily go into aggression regarding itself. (Associate Professor Oleg Erlich).

To enter into a discussion with experts is an unproductive lesson. Not because works of art are discussed that have long been assigned to Japan (and the rest of the world) to the classics of modern art expression (say, the most odious in the eyes of experts and prosecutor's office “Death Note” according to the results of a survey conducted in 2007 by the Ministry of Culture of Japan, entered the ten best manga of all time), and because the intensity of the prosecutor's lawsuit was inadequate. and reinforced by expert arguments.

No one argues that the animated series in question is very specific, especially for civilizations that are far from traditional Japanese ideas about life, death, spirits, suicide and relations between the sexes. Control over the audience is necessary throughout the world; It is implemented by rating agencies that establish age -related restrictions at the advisory level. Construct or not comply with these recommendations - the care of the family and parents, and not the state.

It is significant that the age restrictions in the rental on the portals playing the anime were observed and the “18+” note was visible even on the monitor screen during the demonstration of compromising in the courtroom. The problem, however, is that the prosecutor’s lawsuit, backed by the arguments of experts, is not aimed at establishing an age qualification, but at the ban on the show of four animated series in the Russian Federation.

The third remembered moment is a short exchange of two replicas between the judge and the expert (I quote on the decoding of the court session given on the mediazone portal):

- How does we end, dear expert Belov, cartoon? - asks the judge.

_ - we have a lot of sexual perversions, and they interfere with adaptation. There are homosexual trends. The boy came with a cyborg-boy, they tried to attract this boy to sexual non-traditional relations, and the boy reacted aggression and broke his hand to the defendant, ”Belov retells the plot. _

In each plot, the moment of climax always occurs. In my opinion, this exchange of remarks is such a climax.

The expert Belov is overtaken by the horror of Japanese violence against domestic teenagers with the help of verbal markers of threats borrowed from Russian (or rather, Soviet) criminal law: “sexual perversions”, “homosexual trends”, “attracting to non -traditional relations”, “reacted aggression” (about markers, I also say, I say it as an expert as an expert With a degree in philology).

In response to the injection of Belov’s expert, judge Dmitry Nikulin measure his own involvement in the action that takes place in his _ _ _sal, denotes one single (but how sacramental!) Word: “Cartoon”! He does this, of course, not defiantly ironically, but subconsciously, but this does not change the arrangement of accents at all.

Professional jargonisms, which are saturated with experts, serve the key intention: to support the prosecutor’s claim, to give a psychological justification for the danger of Japanese multiplier for the “most valuable” in the Russian “population” (= adolescents) and justify the ban.

The only word that slipped out of the mouth of the judge reveals the intention of the exact opposite, namely: the attitude to what is happening as a funny, frivolous, theatrical action !

Can an intelligent adult somehow be different from the trial of cartoons ?!

How can be removed from the replicas and actions of artistic, fictional and, moreover, absolutely fantastic characters - ghouls, elves, cyborgs, the god of war, who sent a “death note” to the earth, etc. - Sentences associated with the threat of a national gene pool, national security, the psychological comfort of the younger generation, especially the interaction of this generation with objective reality?!

So that the readers fully feel the absurdity of autodafe over the heroes of Japanese cartoons, I propose to replace Ken Kaneki, Hiro Sisigami, Diklonius Lucy and Light Yagami for someone close and dear to us. Say, on the old woman Shapoklyak. What is not a bastard, with its permanent installation for the creation of evil, the mental psyche of several generations?

Or here the candidate is even cooler - Cheburashka! What is his gender, huh?! What is the gender orientation? You have not forgotten, by the way, where did Cheburashka come from in a provincial Russian city? That's right: it was removed from a container with oranges sent from abroad!

It remains only to guess how terrible harm this small eared German spy-hamedit was caused by the generation, from which our modern judges, prosecutors, deputies and senators came out. I don’t even dare to think about the rest of the population.

The correctness of my guess that the word “cartoon” is a marker of the judicial attitude to the prosecutors imposed by him to eradicate works of art, allegedly pushing our youth to suicide, sadism and sex change, confirms another curious post -fact.

Daria Lebedeva, the head of the United press service of the courts of St. Petersburg, clarified the verdict: “We did not forbid the“ death note ”itself ... Closed exactly what was uttered by the court-two specific links that are indicated. The expert conclusion suggests that there is an impact on the psychological state of children, their legal rights are violated, and there is no 18+ on the qualification site. ”

I already spoke that the qualification was, but it doesn’t matter. It is important that the decision made by the court, in the form as he uttered, is the continuation of the very “cartoon” and theatricality of all this ideological phantasmagoria.

Because the ban on “two specific links” - & this, do not blame me, a mockery of the prosecutor's claim.

The prosecutor's office wanted to protect Russian youth about the elastic Japanese mango-iva, and received a ban on two sites , while the mango-iva continues to ooze the pages of several thousand other portals!

Well, why was it all done? Why was the time of so many representatives of the law and the professional community? Somehow very frankly resembles an imitation of activity ...

In fact, of course, there is no imitation, but there is a logical stage in the development of social mythology. When the power elites begin to fight the elves and guals, there is no doubt: the social myth entered its final stage. This stage is called "ridicule." In the language of venerable experts - “ peaching ”. In the language of the fair crowd - " Petrosyanization ".

From terminology, however, nothing in the fate of the ridiculed myth is changing. He always has only one thing ahead - oblivion and silence.
