How will the parents react in general...

[Skoemie]

I just saw a thread about how parents will react on sexy no jutsu... but c'mon that is the least of theyr problems...

We have demons, gay ness, MDK, perverts, child abusers etc.

How will the parents react on these things like the class room scene in Eps 3.

[RockLee]

Crap, I just posted about that particular topic! X| Oh well, here we go again, kiddies!

They will probably worry about how Japanese culture is corrupting the youth of the U.S. and they will mostly likely hold a protest against CN which will utterly fail because of two reasons:

Massive amounts of money have been invested in this. Think it's about to go poof because of an Orioke no Jutsu? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!

The massive fanbase. CN knows that if we don't watch it from them, we'll keep on going anyway, so it's in their best interest to deliver.

Anyways, this will probably be moved to Adult Swim 11:30 P.M. by the time of the Chase Sasuke arc. They aren't stupid, they know whats going to happen in the series, so they probably have this all planned out. In fact, I'd bet a more likely time of 11 P.M. so that it's not too big a leap in time difference and yet be able to appease fans. Stuff gets pretty heavy in Naruto, you gotta admit. First time I saw Oro in the Exams...couldn't watch that episode again for a week. Even then I could only watch parts =/.

I don't understand. There are so many television taboos, but some things are considered wrong, when I must say, others are wronger. I don't see how the parents can complain. There's alot junkier stuff around for them to be watching.

[Hatsune Miku]

They'll prolly ban their children from watching naruto. Geez...they make a fuss over evey little thing. What about adults? They watch porn. Wats the difference?

[Skoemie]

Well they know how fucked up they are themselfs :D:D:D... Just kidding...

Well I think the american parents (not parents in general) are a bit too protective for there kids... They are acting like a kid doesn't know how a nipple looks like so they are bitching if someone shows a nipple (JJ an JT last year.) They forget that in the class of kids between 12 and 14 years there is 7% who already had sex and others are right behind them. The US parents must come to know what drives theyr kids and not just try to protect them from everything they think they are to small for cause they don't got a cleu...

In the streets the kids hear people shouting off at each other like fuck this you fucking slut go and fuck your grandpa... and on tv there comes a big *beep* at the word grandpa cause it is inapropiate (sarcasm anyone?)

[Maleficent]

I thought there was another thread like this already...? *sigh*

People will watch whatever they want, and if that doesn't include Naruto, sucks to be them.

I feel sorry for the kid whose parents are strict enough to not let them watch Naruto... but it's none of my business.

[icoselitham]

I doubt Naruto will be moved to adult swim since adult swim have been having so low ratings. Thats why they brought back Futurama to 11 'o clock.

[Astranagun]

I dont think most parents give a damn about what their kids are watching. Hell, most of them are too busy working, plus most kids have their own TV in their rooms now. No one's gonna stop the little kids from watching Naruto if they wanted to.

[Sweet Ambrosia]

If parents are comfortable telling their kids stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel, they should be comfortable with their kids watching Naruto.

[organizedcrime]

Yeah, I forgot which childhood story it was, but it had something about a cannibal and a rapist.

[SarcasticIrony]

When did people start thinking parents are the TV nazis? From what i've experianced, they don't give a crap :p. My mom actually introduced me to SouthPark, so maybe mine is just an extreme case...(They also love when I watch Anime, they like to make gay jokes about all the characters XD it makes any show funnier!)

[naruto487]

There is nothing even remotely bad about Naruto any way. When I saw the first two aired episods on Cartoon Network they had gotten rid of all the "foul languag" anyway. But if parents are going to be so protevtiv as to not let there kids know that people bleed when stabed the next generation is going to be nothing but overly protective. My pure opinion on the mater is that no mater what the parents of today over react mor than when i was getting to know how things could turn out bad and not all peaches and cream you know.

[Maleficent]

All that'll probably happen is that there'll be a truckload of religious websites condemning Naruto as the 'work of the devil'.

It happened to Pokemon and YuGiOh... :bees

[kakoishii]

If parents are comfortable telling their kids stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel, they should be comfortable with their kids watching Naruto.
funny you should mention that I remember an SAT passage I wrote that address the issue that parents shouldn't be overprotected over things that kids see on tv when they grow up listening to gruesome fairytales like Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood.

I doubt Naruto will be moved to adult swim since adult swim have been having so low ratings. Thats why they brought back Futurama to 11 'o clock.
Not completely acurate Futurama was moved back to 11'o clock on Saturdays because AS pitch of action packed anime saturdays flopped and dropped ratings though overall the rest of AS is doing fine and saturdays have picked up in ratings since then.

[SarcasticIrony]

Would you happen to know the URLs to those sites?? :smile-big

[SarcasticIrony]

<another Edit: Actually, on closer inspection, this looks like a gag site...oh well, its pretty funny though :laugh>

Sorry if this turns into a double post...but i just read this about a Baptist movment against Poke'mon in '99;

"To drive home his point, Richards burned Pokemon trading cards and video games with a blowtorch and skewered 14 plastic Pokemon action figures with a 40 inch broad sword. Richards then held the sword with all 14 pierced Pokemon figures over a charcoal grill. Richards' 5-year-old son tore the limbs and head off a Pokemon doll and spit on the dismembered carcass.
During the demonstration, the children chanted: "Burn it. Burn it,'' and "Chop it up. Chop it up.'' "Kill them All!" "


Holy shit!!!!!! I wouldn't want my kid in a hundred yards of those people!! That's more disturbing than anything 'I've' ever seen on tv so far...and imagine what it did to the poor kids minds....


(Edit: I forgot to mention, i don't know if the Info is 100% credible, i just read it and thought it was pretty weird)

[TheVileOne]

Not all parents are content nazis.

You don't hear people bitching about South Park or The Simpsons anymore. It all blew over pretty quickly.

And once again, I think the strong story, values, and messages of Naruto would show parents that it is very appropriate and relevant for their kids to watch.

[Maleficent]

Would you happen to know the URLs to those sites?? :smile-big

Nope, I don't.

Even if I did... [shudder] no thanks.

[SarcasticIrony]

Oy, this site is hilarious; http://www.landoverbaptist.net. If this were real, then Naruto being banned would definetly be a possibility. But thankfully, it's not, so don't worry :)

[Tenka Hadou]

I so hope that they put the Sexy-no-jitsu in the show cause Naruto is not Naruto with out the tabgy zip of Sexy-no-Jitsu and that so if theyu cut i will be pissed

[*ZOE*]

if your parents are gonna have a sad about it i think its time they had a good look at the real word. naruto is nothing compared to the friggen news for gods sake! i hate parents and ppl for that matter that are so god damn stupid over nothing at all!

[ArioNeko]

Its still there don't worry. Just 1/4th its original length and edited.

[Uchiha_Kachiki]

I find it funny that no matter how hard America tries to censor something. It is still the country that has a lot of violence and has the most sex in the year in average as opposed to Japan who has their anime uncensored. "Hhmmmm.... maybe we could learn something?" Haven't they heard that when you restrict something on someone, they want it even more? Well apparently not. :blink

Oh BTW to those "patriotic" and "nationalistic" people here. I mean no offense to you. I myself am an American citizen, however their is a big difference in liking Americans and America I like the ideals of freedom America has and such, but I loathe the people who rape it's ideals.

yeah parents care way too much and blame cn and dont punish thier children

blame the devil....phhhtttt the devil tempts he dosnt forces.

[Ginjirou]

Who cares? This sort of thing has happened to anything and everything that gets big. Now when I say everything I mean it, back in the old old OLD days, books(outside of the Bible) were all considered works of the devil. As long as young people like something, and parents don't understand it, all self responsibility in parenting goes out the window and the blame game begins. I, myself, am waiting for Asuma to show up. That will be when the shit really hits the fan.

You act as though EVERYONE watches anime and are influenced a lot by it....

News Flash! Anime isn't watched by that many people in comparison to America's population... even on Cartoon Network.

I have no problems with parents giving their kids restrictions. They have the RIGHT TO RAISE THEIR KIDS THE WAY THEY WANT. Just wait until you become a parent and realize what kind of responsibility it is to keep your child safe. You'll do as much as you can to try and do so, believe me.

It's stupid to hate parents in general. I try as much as I can to respect what they think is best for their child. Working at Gamestop made me realize how many parents really don't know what's out there for their child. I've stopped the sale of Grant Theft Auto to 8 year old kids a lot more than I thought I would need to.

[Jh1stgen]

They will probably worry about how Japanese culture is corrupting the youth of the U.S

Teh youth in North American is already corrupted :
-8 yr old chicks wearing the shortest skirts possible, lipstick, show off their flat butt, cosmetics by Hillary Duff n etc ...
-wanna be gangster ...

[RockLee]

Isn't it sad? But sadder still is, that parents don't notice these things. I have the best parents in the world (my opinion =)) but I've noticed a lot of them who just don't notice. Odd thing is, they try to shelter their kids from all the dumb things. Sigh. Prents do have the right, and they shouold excercise it as they see fit, but it's frustrating when they focus on something insignificant.

[Blaze of Glory]

It's truly not the parents fault but mostly the childrens as well as the parents fault for not being more secure for their children and watching after them and what kind of shows they watch.Although I do believe children should be allowed to watch Naruto if they are able to not repeat the deragatory or make it have a bad influence on them.Last I checked Anime is the least popular thing in America.If you go to Sun coast you will see a hella huge Anime stock in the back collecting dust.

Also lasdt I checked American minorities adn children are still corrupted by manga and Anime. If you go to my school you will see kids shouting out Naruto crap and my cousin who is a complete retard looking at Manga porno's which shocks the crap out of me.

[The Space Cowboy]

I attended a private, religious (Christian) K-12 school (About as Bible thumping as you can get, although I consider 'Bible-thumper' a compliment) that at one point implemented a schoolwide ban and confiscation policy on all CCG (Collectible Card Game) materials.

When the craze started it was all good--Jr. Higher played with Highschooler during lunch, and traded with Gradeschooler as well, the problem was that the cards became a source of conflict among students--especially the trading aspect.

Kids got into so many arguments (School personnel found themselves mediating disputes with older students who had traded with younger students when the younger student decided that they wanted their card traded back) that the school administration decided to end it all with a schoolwide ban+confiscation policy. The reason given was a quite sound one--the problem was not so much with the possession of the cards as with the bad behaviour that the use of the cards engendered among their charges.

Honestly, unless Naruto starts a new craze of "playing ninja" in which children get hurt at an alarming rate, I don't see even the Bible thumping brigade having many problems with it apart from the issues of violence. Heck...I think some of the themes of Naruto could stand to be further ingrained into American culture.

Furthermore, if it is reviled from the start, I'm not sure the often bulverized "right wing whackos" will constitute enough of Cartoon Network's market share for CN to care.

[Ginjirou]

Damn that was a good post.

First I'll end this now. I don't want to have children and make this world overpopulated even more. I don't want to begin the list of reasons how having kids is bad to the environment. I would fill up 12 pages and I don't feel like explaining myself when you yourself can easily find info. This is why when I am 18 I'll get a vasectomy. Anyways to get on topic, parents never realize that videogames is one of the factors the whole thing like many of you see. Also is has also been proven that even a perfectly raised child with no violence can become violent and even a murderer. This is a very bad conception in America that videogames are the 1 thing, the 1 determined thing, that makes people violent. That shows how the ignorance here is permeating through America. They always want a scapegoat, they should look in the mirror or in their genes. Videogames is a factor not the entire thing. By the way, to use myself as an example. I played Mortal Kombat 2 when 5 years old. Also I played MK 3. I never turned out violent because I knew the difference between reality and a game. A parent should know if their child can handle a videogame.
On the overpopulation matter. If everyone had just one kid the population would go down and things would get better. However again will not waste the 12 pages of this topic.

[Ginjirou]

Um...you are a very angry man I see (could it be the video games? j/k), and you have totally missed n8doggs point. He was saying that parents have the right to protect their kids from what they deem harmful, he never said they should get a blank check with which they could destroy anything we think is cool ie;video games, naruto, or whatever.

I completely agree that if a parent doesn't want their child exposed to something it is their choice not ours,however, they should NOT have the right to place the same restrictions on the rest of the society.

BtW good luck with that vasectomy man, I would've just went with condoms, but I see you're commited (and should be ).

[Archssor]

Parents are crazy these days.

Yeah sorry all. Today I haven't slept at all. I'm sorry if I was rude. Well it's all over now... I found a real life soldier pill. Caffeine! :blink

[Megaharrison]

You people are making Naruto out to be more important then it is, I doubt many will care. Cartoonetwork is showing uncut DBZ that shows an 8 year olds penis and nobody cared.

[Fuko]

well, we never had any problem like that here. and we're a christian country.:tem

[Beefy]

what the... king james version of 1611... wtf is this... O_O those posts actually look like they arent kidding man... thats pretty scary stuff. *is quoting that guy who posts the link about the website....*

[blind51de]

I'm 90% postive that Landover Baptist is a joke site.

[nightmarenny]

Anyone watch 7th heaven? I did once but I stop when things just got stupid. Anyway to my point, their is an episode that shows just how fucked up american logic has become. One of the children played a video game invovling avioding land mines. Probably not something the kid should be playing. Fine. The mothers thought process however....

It was that their are real kid in the world that step on land mines(stupid soldiers). Why is it that it seems the parent are the ones that can't tell the fantasy from reality? On a side note I don't like how the kid acted after either. She became obsessed! Feh.

[Chibi Rokudaime]

As someone who grew up playing video games, I could always tell the difference between reality and fantasy. That is thanks to proper guidence and parenting. With my father and two brothers I always stayed well grounded. I think if a parent has a problem with their child and Naruto, then they did something wrong raising their child. This ofcourse excludes Part 2 of the manga, but Naruto is in it's what... 7th season? I don't think there will be a problem with Naruto for a long time. As stated Sexy no Jutsu was reduced to 1/4 of it's original time.

The most potential threat Naruto could inflict is it's addictive nature, it could become an animated power rangers. In which a lot of parents complain because their children mimic power rangers and try to do martial art moves and end up getting hurt, or hurting others. I believe that this actually could happen. Small children running around day care throwing kicks and yelling out "RASENGAN!" lol... but a scary thing is, that a child who watches naruto could pick up a knife and throw it like a kunai. Im sure that this would scare any parent.

I agree that Naruto is no immediate danger, and there are shows much worse out there, but I also agree that a child who cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy, a child who should not be watching naruto, ESPECIALLy alone, could easily end up killing someone because they thought Naruto was cool.

[narashika85]

I'm 90% postive that Landover Baptist is a joke site.
Yeah, im pretty sure it is. If you look around, they have WWJD thong ads, and on the forums, the people are pretty much making fun of themselves. (the one where their asking what TV is is pretty funny, though if they had been less obvious they could have pulled my leg for a little longer :P )

Also, on topic; Here is how most parents will react, in general;

Mom/Dad; "Hey, timmy, what are you watching?"
Timmy; "It's Naruto, mom/dad! It's about ninjas!"
Mom/Dad; "Wow, thats nice timmy."
*Sexy Jutsu shown*
Mom/Dad; "That was pretty funny. It's better than that Sponge bob crap I have to watch with timmy all the time, and less obcsene too."

:laugh Seriously, i think thats how it will go :laugh

I think they would rather have their kids outside immitating Ninjas or something (kind of like we did with Power Rangers) than immitating some of the ones like Spongebob or those other...odd....cartoons they have.

(Edit: <SarcasticIrony>I used an old browser to post this, and it was on my old name that i forgot i had :laugh I guess i did have a Narutofan forum account :blink oh well)

[The Space Cowboy]

Hey maybe Naruto will start an athleticism movement among American kids.
Playing Ninja > Playing Video Games

[TheVileOne]

The ONLY people I see complaining about Naruto right now are uptight otaku and sub-nazis. Not parents.

[padisah]

If parents are worried about their child watching "sexy no jutsu" then they are pathetic. Because there are more serious things that they should be concerned about.

[n8dogg]

Ummm, I don't think they are worried. In fact, I doubt they even know about the stupid show.

I mean, it runs at 10:00, right? That's pretty late for younger people to be up. I know my curfew was usually around 8:30 or 9 when I was a kid.

Why are you criticizing something that has yet to even happen?

[DeathIsComing]

heh, my parents dont like me watching cartoons because "i'm too old for that". man, my parents even take my lil sis, who's 3 years old, to see a R-rated movie...yea. wat i'm saying is, some parents are cool like mine, and some are hard-asses and dont even let their 11 years-old boy watch soft, cartoon violence on a cartoon network. those parents need to losen up.
