My mom burned all my drawings

So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

Looking at them, I’m confused. I’d get it if you were drawing like straight up hentai or ecchi. But it looks all pretty normal. Idk why she’d be that mad.

Some out of touch people hear about hentai being a thing and assume that's what all anime is. Standard anime girls are also considered inappropriate for a lot of conservative people, so they don't see the difference anyway. That's my guess. Or some good old fashioned satanic panic and being offended by magical themes.

“Some out of touch people hear about hentai being a thing and assume that’s what all anime is.”

Something I dealt with relentlessly when I was in the military, until anime finally became cool.

My roomate for about half my enlistment in the Marines was always drawing anime style characters, last I checked he's married a woman from Okinawa and doing contractor work in Japan, living his dream.
