Royal was the 2007 Socialist Party presidential candidate in France. She is also wrong about anime - it's detrimental to everyone, not just children.

I welcome your downbears.

    Majority of what was popular and on TV in the 80s in France probably were world masterpiece theater anime based on classic literature by legendary and pretty left wing creators , some dumb fun super robot shows and probably stuff like Lupin, candy candy and some other shoujo. Bad take banning them for what? Tom and Jerry (which is good ngl)

      Lupin III is banned in France because it is violating French copyright laws(he's the grandson of a French literary character of the same name). Inspector Gadget was originally going to be a spin-off of Lupin set in the future, with the titular Inspector Gadget being the grandson of Inspector Zenigata, but some arcane French copyright laws applied to Quebec somehow, which was where the show was being made, so they had to completely file off anything identifiable as Lupin.
