Criaram uma Petição para Pedir o Cancelamento do Anime de Mii-chan to Yamada-san

The huge controversy surrounding the announcement of the Mii-chan to Yamada-san anime adaptation continues, as a strange petition asking for money has been created, and it already has 2,835 signatures and 54,400 yen collected from 62 donors.

On the Voice Charity website, it is possible to create petitions with monetary support, and a petition asking for money was created. As mentioned, 54,400 yen has been collected (around R$ 1,700), but there is a lot of suspicion surrounding this petition precisely because it asks for money.

The petition is titled: “I am against the anime adaptation of ‘Mii-chan to Yamada-san’. Please do not spread it while maintaining a representation that hurts the people involved.”

The petition asks for the Mii-chan to Yamada-san anime adaptation to be reconsidered or stopped, claiming that the work could reinforce prejudice against people with intellectual disabilities or developmental characteristics, as well as trivialize sexual exploitation and the suffering of victims. The organizers request a review of how these themes are portrayed, with greater care and respect for the people involved.

These were some reactions to the petition:

  • “Why are there so many people who do not accept diversity?”
  • “Precisely because I have ADHD, I think it should become an anime, so that people without disabilities can learn about the reality of disabilities.”
  • “I question the sanity of making this anime, but this is also freedom and the right to expression.
    I probably won’t watch it, but even so, it is still freedom of expression, right?”
  • “At least think about how, because of your freedom (selfishness), the freedom of people with disabilities ends up being reduced.”
  • “In situations like this, everyone talks about freedom, but nobody talks about responsibility, right?”

On the other hand, many people question why money is being requested if it is a petition, who the money will go to, and what it will be used for. In any case, the controversy continues.
