xoomer Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I finally Bought a White shirt to blend in a little more, but I was wondering I Enjoy Watching Anime, And sometimes anime can be Somewhat Naughty I guess you could say... with some Nudity here and there, but it is animated nudity would this be something bad or can I continue to watch it... I kinda guess its just a way of life or at least my past life and it is one of my favorite types of movies or Television, anyhow Thanks for your .02?

dazed-and-confused Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 There is another thread concerning nudity on the site, you might get some feedback from that as well. As for animated nudity goes, i dont see it as being any different from human nudity......it's the individuals response to the situation that is important........and there are reasons why nudity is considered something to be "covered up".........one reason being that way too many people confuse sex with love.....and nudity with sex.......so, i guess you just hyave to be really honest with yourself and decide whether or not a change of viewing materiel is in order.

My personal opinion? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnn727 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 The LDS religion is not about forbidding things, its about spiritual growth and becoming more Christ-like, We are all at different points in our spiritual walk and only you can decide what point you are at. My guide to things like that is this "If Jesus knew what I was doing - would he mind?" And you will find that your answers will probably change over time and you (hopefully) grow closer to Christ. There are things I did as a new convert that I would never do now and I am sure there are things I do now that 20 years from now I would not do. Hopefully as we stop doing un-Christ-like things we replace them with more Christ-like behavior. On the white shirts -- I hate them, I wear blue about half of the time and have even worn a black shirt a couple times, many of the men in my ward feel the same way, you'll see about 50-60% in white and the rest in colors.

bytebear Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's funny how the white shirt has become a symbol of piety, all because it is the required attire for missionaries and a symbolic color for baptism. I think we sometimes need to be reminded that such rules and policies have a purpose, but when self righteousness supersedes purpse, there is a problem. I am reminded that the rosary was once a simple tool for remembering to pray, and that incense was used to make the church smell good. Even a Moroni-less temple (of which there are a handful) is still a House of the Lord. I am not knocking those who see those items as holy and a necessary liturgy, but we should beware of making a white shirt a symbol of righteousness. It is no more or less holy for Sunday worship than a blue, black or plaid shirt. As to cartoon boobies, they should be avoided if used for (pardon the pun) titillation.

tubaloth Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 And sometimes anime can be Somewhat Naughty I guess you could say... with some Nudity here and there, but it is animated nudity would this be something bad or can I continue to watch it... This is a no go. As far as I know nudity would be classified as porongraphy, which is a no go, and actually falls under the Law of Chasty. From Dictionary.com the diffention of Pornographyobscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, esp. those having little or no artistic merit. I think that falls into this catagory.

bytebear Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I guess I would be more concerned about the story. Is it about good uplifting things. From my little experience with Anime, a lot of it is about exploitation and abuse of women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalpromise516 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 There is a very fine line in Anime as to which is appropriate and what isn't appropriate. A good portion of the material I have encountered isn't always...the best thing to be reading, but I do see some other items that are good and I have enjoyed. I think if there are those members that are interested in Anime, all they need to do is exercise common sense and good judgement :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
