Funimation must return Interspecies reviewers


Funimation must return Interspecies reviewers
The Issue
As of today many people have realized that funimation has indeed removed the show/anime known as interspecies reviewers from their site.

This anime was about bunch of people reviewing fantasy redlight district hubs, naturally it was somewhat NSFW
This is the response from funimation when one of our friends reached out to them
- Hello Funimation User, Thank you for contacting Funimation Support. We appreciate your business. After careful consideration, the series was removed from the service as it falls outside of our standards. We have the utmost respect for our creators so rather than substantially alter the content, we felt taking it down was the most respectful choice. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank You! Jessica Funimation Support
The fact is, funimation have far worse controversial shows on their site which each one can be called out individually, including horrible stories, rape, violence, gore etc however they are creating a certain amount of discrimination for this show as it's mainly about sex and in no way is it degrading, funimation seems to have used this show as an scapegoat.
Not to mention it is severely against their own agenda and terms of service to cancel a show like this without any prior notifications. and their contract with their users, someone could possibly press charges.
in some countries by constitution it's a crime to buy rights to a specific product in order to not do anything with it, or shut it down, funimation must either return the show and favor many faithful subscribes who were watching this show or give the rights up.
This is hurting freedom, this is hurting our culture.
