Note to the community: In light of information of a new petition being started by some overly nationalistic Koreans hoping to discontinue the series completely,
youkofujima,
mumumugen and myself decided it was time to start a petition of our own. Considering this community has over 5000 members, if each of us managed to get 2 friends, not only could we build a giant robot, but we could make this petition into something of a success.
Remember guys - any further efforts by Korean nationalist groups (or nationalist groups from any other country) only fall on the ground of criminal acts, if this will be the measure of their deeds. If you think carefully, though cyber-terrifying as cyber-terror is, how exactly do you think it will prevent further distribution of DVDs, CDs, manga and other related merchandise?
LET'S SHOW OUR UNITED EFFORT TO THE EXTREME!!!( PETITION TO STUDIO DEEN & GENTOSHA )----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: There are concerns by some community members over whether Livejournal is the best means to set up a petition. This was discussed amongst the moderators beforehand, and it was decided that given the controversial nature of this issue, Livejournal
would be sufficient (although by no means perfect) enough for the following reasons:
1. Using a petition-hosting site is not necessarily a better or even more credible method of ascertaining the authenticity of the signatures. Anyone can sign under multiple different names with different email addresses.
2. In comparison, LJ accounts are better in identifying genuine signatures, given the procedures one goes through to sign up for an LJ account in the first place. Further, one can see how long someone has had an LJ for, and its degree of activeness.
3. The moderators are logging IP addresses in this post. Although by no means the most
perfect way, it is no less inferior than petition-hosting sites.
4. The moderators have more control over the comments in this post in the event that wank erupts.
5. Non-LJ users
can comment on this post, but it will be better for them to leave a name and email address instead of simply signing it.
Any enquiries/complaints should be sent via PM to the moderators. Please also note that any racist/anti-Korea comments will be deleted without warning. There's no need for hate. We're all mature adults, right?[As of 31.1.09] Due to an influx of anonymous commenters posting anti-Japan comments for the past hour, I've changed comment settings for anonymous commenters only. This means all anonymous comments will have to automatically go through me before they get posted. Thank you for your understanding and attention.
