nwatson, the first part of that sentence doesn't make any sense, neither the rest

Nice bit of cultural fascism there. They should go a step further and start banning the bad comics. I heard they burn very well.

The UN's been pressuring Japan for years to ban child porn comics and cartoons, which it's a leading world producer of. Japan also finally outlawed possession of actual child abuse porn last year, do you consider that fascism?

I can't take HN very seriously when people take my comment at face value.

Did you even read the comment on the original post? It's impossible to tell the real trolls from the small but vocal minority of people who really do believe the humanities are a bastion of the liberal elite and Illuminati.

Not to mention that there is a huge amount of disdain for the humanities in some hardcore engineering circles.

Quite the contrary, what you list seems to me a result of lack of serious culture, certainly not of cultural boom.

Can't fight with lack of culture by destroying culture.
