Earlier this year, I spoke about the new controversial senate bill that threatens anime, manga, and video games in the state of Texas. That bill, Senate Bill 20, was a bill that passed through both the senate and house in the Texas Legislator. Then, it was signed by governor Gregg Abbott at the governor’s mansion. Since then, the law has been passed and has been in effect since September 1.

Texas Senate Bill 20 Puts Texan Otakus in Serious Trouble As Bill Potentially Targets Anime, Manga and Video Games for “Obscene Ways”

The law wasn’t just trouble… It became a major problem for all otakus in Texas, since the bill itself was vague when it came to the definition of what defines as obscene material against those not of legal age.
