35-year-old Houston resident Joseph had a terrible day: after using his go-to anime platform (like Crunchyroll) for years, he hit an unpassable age restriction. This stems from a Texas law targeting animated/AI child porn—critics say it’s overly broad, affecting regular anime sites.

Emotionally broken down, Joseph left an expletive-filled threatening voicemail for the governor’s office, leading to his arrest on third-degree felony charges. He’s bonded out, calling the state’s move an overstep.

Ever faced frustrating restrictions on your favorite anime? How’d you react if locked out over an overly broad rule?
