I've tried asking several places and googling shit and no one's been of any help. Can you help me, Holla Forums?
I'm planning to stage a big protest against this terrible Korean show they're importing to America.
I initially planned to personally contact a bunch of American broadcasting networks that would be viable to pick the show up and convince them to blacklist the show by any means possible (within reason). I also was just about to send an email to the show's producers warning them of my actions–and giving them a short list of demands they can choose to meet if they want to avoid me campaigning against them–before I start letting the phone calls fly. On top of that, I'd do the usual signature gathering at the public library with a few clipboards and demonstrations at school PTA meetings, etcetera, etcetera, what I thought to all be standard stuff.
But I've shared my plans with two people and both were concerned I'd be sued or put in jail for some reason. What gives? I thought protesting was fully legal? This type of protest seems very vanilla to me…
I guess what they're concerned with is charges of harassment. Where is the line drawn between harassment and protest?
What are the legal limits of a protest?

Out of curiosity, what makes it bad enough to protest and do all the other activism you've done?
Did they say why?
It probably depends on the area you live. State, county and town/city level governments all have their own inane laws about activism and about everything else. Who do your friends think you'll be charged with harassing?
They didn't say. One is more concerned that the producers I'm going up against are partnered with some major players like FOX and CBS. I think he believes that even if I'm technically in the legal right that they'll find a way to fuck me anyway. I don't know. Neither of them know shit about politics, though.
I live in Arizona if that helps any.
Oh, and as for your first question, the show is basically anti- everything. Anti-male, anti-female, anti-ethics and sportsmanship and empathy. Basically anti-human really. And the target audience is fucking three year olds. Any child psychologist would have an anxiety attack over this piece of shit.
What's the show called?
Good prole!
Anti-human show , for 3 year olds you say , sounds good actualy.
Telemonster. Most recent episode featured a character spitefully sabotaging another character's love interest with zero motivation, as well as a little ultra violence. For three year olds.
Hey man, I just got a boyfriend worth keeping for the first time in my life, I'm not keen on abandoning him for jail.
TV is fucked in general.
this stuff?

Pro tip. Go to local church, alert them about this occult danger seeking to undermine the moral fiber of american children, spread oriental religion and possibly bestiality.
I'm sure there is some well connected organization of pious mothers that can help you in this important mission.
...
Yep! That episode's not a very good indicator of just how anti-everything this show can be, but yeah, that's the one. Some episodes are actually perfectly alright.
And that is exactly what I intended to do, appeal to the god fearing republicans. But I never thought to go directly to a church. It's so obvious now that you say it. The god fearing republicans would just mindlessly sign my petition, the religious zealots could actually JOIN me and provide support in numbers and finances! You're a genius.
Better yet, go to a Korean church.
You're doing Adorno's work mate
Oh my god, there's one just 100 meters from my place of work. I'm getting really stoked.
Thanks.
Glad to be of help, sort of. Good luck.
This is my speech I plan to do in a video to send to them. I also have a Korean friend who's going to translate it.
Should I add or change anything? It feels off, but I don't know what else I could do with it. At least it's very forthright.

maybe make the threat to publish censored examples of telemonster porn? To make it easier to claim your actions are in the public interest. Not sure those religious zealots would want to help you if you start publishing furry porn.
Maybe post some examples here, so we know what you are talking about.
oh, right. i of course intended to censor them. i think it'd be illegal to send businessmen envelopes of straight up porn. but yeah it's a good idea to explicitly say in the speech that I will censor them.
you mean like this pic attached? or do you mean examples of how the show triggers me?
the first one that comes to mind is probably the halloween special.
eerie eats a poisoned wedding cake at a graveyard and becomes a helpless infant, as usual. anti-male schlock.
an undead bride appears from beneath the ground and conjures undead minions to further humiliate him.
yossi shows up and easily fucks them all up with some offensively stereotypical women crap, like make-up and beauty accessories.
it seems she's saved the day, and eerie celebrates her victory and is relieved to be saved from being forced into wedlock, but it turns out her motivation was to simply steal the dress off the zombie bride. she pushes eerie into a casket and he is swallowed into the ground to suffocate to death while she walks off.
as you're reading this, remember to bear in mind this show is for fucking three year olds.
Nah, the real reason is it's made by zipperheads. COREAs are disgusting crude, shallow people who will insult and destroy you over literally anything.
I believe it
reproduces inequality. kys liberal
Jesus why would somebody put that in a kid's show?
also keep in mind eerie and yossi are supposed to be "good friends" but they do shit like that to each other all the time. this isn't a tom and jerry situation, they're voluntarily roommates and sometimes even lovers.
i'm no liberal
We're hitting levels of lifestyleism that shouldn't even be possible.
Liberals pls go this is an antihumanist board.
To me, it makes it all the more disturbing that they're not rivals–they're friends, but they murder each other over fucking nothing like that. That's how Koreans think friends treat each other, huh?
sorry I'm uh actually apolitical, i just didn't know where else to ask for help, everywhere's failed me. this place has gotten the best responses so i think i made the right choice.
What a waste of fucking time.
I was shitposting a bit, to give you an exaggerated example of where we stand. Brainwashing kids is a real problem in some of their media. What you described with this show is an attempt to socialize kids into having dysfunctional relationships. I noticed something similar when I happened to see Yo Gabba Gabba on American TV. They almost made a point of having none of the events have any connection to each other in a show targeting kids who would be at the developmental stage when they work out cause and effect. It was pretty disturbing to realize that lots of kids just sit and watch that shit all day instead of going outside or having social interactions.
Yes I completely agree! But I focused very little on the psychological implications in my speech because I doubt those dog eaters would care, and the concept is lost on the republican audience I'm aiming for. But that is what I feel most passionate about. The brutality and unfeeling personalities these characters have is extremely disturbing to me and I can't imagine what violence it'll incite on the feeble toddler minds that are exposed to this trash for extended periods of time.

Oh! Well, hail and well met then! Have some tea.
Also, much American content tends to discount relationships as not real without gratuitous drama, which not only normalizes distrust and competition between partners, but among peers as well.
In the USA, children are stock, not people. Leaving them outside to develop their own agency and interact without supervision is a crime these days. It's safer to just park them in front of a training device that teaches them how ignorable they really are.
Know your adversary. Traditional conservatives would be very interested in preserving their values, such as strong gender roles and competition to please authorities, against outside corruption.
Also, don't make the error of playing into "net good" or "net evil." Incrementalism is a ruse. It is perfectly legitimate to have deal-breakers and to exclude businesses on those bases. If your conservative contacts believe that some aspect of that show is harmful, that's reason enough to oppose.
Yeah, and adults interacting with kids (men especially) to bond with them or teach them useful skills or just play around are seen as creepy.
Huh, I suppose you're right, I should use as much ammo as I possibly can. I'll definitely source some more articles about the psychological implications this show has.
Wasn't this site founded on the basis that people wanted to openly protest manchild video games? For themselves, rather than for the preservation of children.
bump. I've been too scared and overwhelmed to finish my speech yet or otherwise initiate any of my plan. Just taking a few days break to think.
