One publisher of adult visual novels is reporting having to postpone store release of an apparently otherwise innocuous title involving animal ears and pregnancy, as “in future, it appears games featuring non-human heroines and pregnancy may not be allowed on sale in shops.”
They are apparently having to censor the game’s content in response to the recent “self-imposed” feminist-friendly censorship regime coming into effect.
The comments were made by publisher Norn in their email newsletter, and apologetically explain why the store release of their game “Inugami-sama” (Dog Goddess) has been postponed:
“We must regretfully inform customer awaiting ‘Inugami-sama’ that the package (DVD) version’s release has been postponed, due to the situation surrounding the recent censorship imposition.
In future, it seems there is a possibility that non-human heroines and themes of pregnancy and impregnation will be banned from sale in shops.”
The game itself involves the protagonist being sent to a deserted island, where he befriends a goddess with the aspect of a dog, and the game follows their relationship, which involves conception. It is not clear that there is any suggestion of rape in the game, and there seems to be a complete absence of any BDSM style trappings…
The game’s content looks innocuous enough:
The game was supposed to be in stores several days ago, but has been postponed indefinitely whilst being censored. However, the download version is being sold normally, clouding the situation further.
At this point, the actual content and packaging to be banned is completely unclear, but it seems unlikely Norn is cancelling its release for no reason. The lack of any clear guidelines and the language used by Norn suggests that there is a chance Norn is simply being overly cautious.
It does appear at least that the whole business of censoring feminist angering themes can be circumvented by moving to an online distribution model, which may not please shop owners but seems a relatively small price to pay to stop the mass media’s cameras traipsing through stores in search of scandal.
The cause of Norn’s troubles appears to be the inclusion of a “non-human” character (merely with animal ears), along with the inclusion of pregnancy.
It seems in the worst case, fans of nekomimi and normal human reproduction will have to find alternative means of satisfying their interest, for publishers are currently in flight from any theme potentially offensive to feminist politicians and the mass media, whether or not it is explicitly banned.
As expected, rolling over to the demands of censorship has immediately threatened genres with nothing much to do with “rape games”, illustrating the folly of acquiescing to restrictions on freedom of expression even when the expression is not to one’s liking.

"Hey, Mister.
How much is that doggy in the window?"
*drool*
;)
Why nekomimi though? Sounds stupid.
I don't care about pregnancies but they can't ban animal ears! They just can't!
DAMN FEMALE CHAUVINIST 3D PIGS.
I'm seeing a lot of people say stuff like:
"I don't care about pregnancy, but WHY NEKOMIMI?"
or the other way around...
This is precisely the WRONG attitude to have. We have to reject and fight ALL censorship and free speech. Apathy towards certain genres being attacked is what got is here.
People who are waiting in the wings now just because they don't care about pregnancy or nekomimi themes are part of the problem. Yes, you.
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
That should be:
"fight ALL censorship and attacks on free speech."
now they can go 'women rights' all they want but all they wanna do is fuck up our precious 2D porn - if it's for women's rights wouldn't it make more sense to ban the actual beastiality first? Now that we'll have lolis, BDSM, pregnancy and nekomimi banned all we have left is schoolgirls and disabled girls. And they will find a reason to ban those. Or maybe they won't and they'll ban it for no reason just like nekomimi
"Loli" effectively covers schoolgirls already.
use google maps and kill there leader !!!!
this going to far why are they pussing this genre lovers in the corner. We could try togther find a balance or something ??
err my bad... *nekomimi*
it only means that we are challenged to re-orient our lives to a Christ-centered one. Our emptiness needs to be fulfilled by being witnesses to Christ.
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you

As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Ah man, not those NAR-shitheads.

Why ban pregnancy? Sex during pregnancy is okay and for some women preferred!
Sex during pregnancy is wrong because it doesn't result in life, since the life is already being formed and can't be done for a while.
Just wow...
So all sex that doesn't result in life is wrong? I didn't realize we had feminists posting here.
No that is a corollary obtained from the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas.
So? what's wrong with a a man and a woman reafuring their love for each other. that the man isn't bothered by the fact that his wife/girlfriend has become large and carring his child in her. a child created by their feelings for each other. I see nothing wrong with that. if it leads to an outpouring of true emetion then let it be. I hear of stories where a guy gets a girl he says he loves preganted and when she becomes big with child, he no longer looks at here. I even here where there are some woman who are borthered by their late term look during pregancy. to have their lover say that their still hot enough/sexy enough to do while pregented is a big bost for them. I see nothing wrong in this. I bet with that argument you'll says that using condoms is wrong to because it wastes semen
I think grapefields is just trying to show what kind of reasoning a feminazi (or religious fanatic, depending on the situation) would use to justify pregnancy-sex, which just as it sounds makes no sense.
Reproduction isn't the only reason ppl have sex, moron. :|
Not everyone shares the same belief you know. That doesn't mean you can impose yours on others.
That's it. Ban Femnazis. Just kill them all and the world will be a better place.
I K I L L Y O U,
F E M I N I E S T S !!!!!!!!
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but isn't the majority fanbase for nekomimi...female?
Really? I never had this impression. Or are you referring to kemonomimi in yaoi (which will not be affected, since only non-human heroines will be banned)?
Maybe it's a truly gender-independent thing...
I always had that impression with nekomimi, again maybe I'm wrong. I mean, they combined girls + cats = female fanbase.
It would seem something that would be highly wanted by lesbian types, it doesn't interest me so much, but my girlfriend is obsessed with them lol.
Again I could be wrong, I've always seen girls obsessed with nekomimi, just like yaoi. v.v
I'm not sure about the majority but nekomimi is loved by both genders and it would be hard to answer which one likes it more.
They should go home and go to bed.
OR go back to school to get some sence beaten into their brains.
Or even better, all could die from some decease that only attacks mentally ill and those without logical reason.
I guess women are just jealous...soo sad, but theres no helping it >_>
I guess women are just jealous because we prefer anime/manga/vn/etc characters...soo sad, but I guess theres no helping it >_>
Oups sorry for the "double" post...really!
Wut?! They're against Kemonomimi?!?!
What the fuck do Cat Ears have to do with them bitches anyway?!
Shit, this makes no sense.
Hate to be born in this era... the world has certainly went downhill on itself.
I`ve got it!!!Why don`t we create them some kind of a super sex organic-robot or something like that to satisfy them and maybe they will let us alone ^_^
ban the feminazis, damn it xO
Why don't the feminists ruin normal porn before bothering us with their shit. It might make the world a nicer place
I think it is probably because they can't really do anything about it.
Wait, I don't understand. Nekomimi I can sorta get due to bestiality and all, but...
Banning pregnancy? That would make Clannad, an ALL-AGES GAME, not be able to be sold in stores if it were released today.
...What the hell?
(I guess it really is true that storks bring Japanese babies.)
...Maybe it's just nekomimi and pregnancy involving sex? I don't know.
nekomimi has nothing to do with bestiality. Bestiality is specifically animals. Feminists already believe that women are not animals (men as animals seems to be in debate for them). Nekomimi is a Woman not an animal by their own definition. Nekomimi is simply a woman with accessories simply with ears or a tail or some minor characteristics of an animal, but strictly not an animal. Hell half of the religion of shinto (amongst other religions) is based around the concept of personified animal spirits and the like. These feminazis have to fucking know about religions other than Christianity (we all know its most likely behind these nazis, as it was for the original nazis). Not to mention anime like Moonphase has nekomimi in it, cosplay and porn often have nekomimi, hell if this ban is actually put into effect (doubtful as even the feminists will have realized they went too far too fast...maybe) it could cause the feminazis opposition. The thing with these types of feminists is that no one ever puts up a fight. If someone can fight against them and win they will lose a large portion of the power that makes them to be a nuisance.
The banning of pregnancy is just stupid as pregnancy means pro-life which most feminists are for. It doesn't make sense. Either this eroge producer is being extremely overly cautious or the feminazis need to be taught a lesson on stupidity, arrogance, and tolerance....preferably in whatever manner works
I think these feminazis are simply trying to further destroy Japanese economics and must have some odd deep seated hatred for the Japanese. To war.
Hail Hentai!
Censorship has gone one step too far. This has yet to be banned but considering the feminazi ideology it is only a matter of time. This is what happens when companies give in to the power hungry pigs called feminists. Before this feminism wasn't a completely horrid thing but rather a means for women to gain EQUAL rights...not the bullshit they are trying to pull. If they are forced to get rid of it I also say real porn and yaoi should be banned as well...after all it is only Equal. If 2D fans can't have masturbation material (regardless of gender) then in order for there to be equality all porn should not exist either...which would effectively seal the fate of humanity. The fact that these (specific ones) are targeting "Censored" eroge is just stupid. Effectively the companies producing eroge should simply ignore the feminazis or go with other distributors and the like. It hasn't been made illegal it is simply banned by one or more distributors which is a hit but not the deciding blow. The war for freedom of expression is far from over.
Hail Hentai!
I'm drafting a letter to feminist groups from an imaginary Japanese eroge company:
Dear ______,
Your plight has deeply touched us here at ________. As such, we have halted production on Castle of Rape III: Rape It If It Breathes, Don't Touch Me There ~ Romantic Rape Fantasy II, Pregnant Catgirl Brothel, Dark Bondage IV: Not Done Until Bleeding, and our other titles.
Instead, we have begun work on games which your organization could fully endorse, featuring themes of empowered women violently raping and impregnating men through the use of alien technology, empowered women torturing men to death, empowered women raping and enslaving men, empowered women brutally raping men, empowered women growing penises and using them to dominate men, empowered women having loveless sex with other empowered women for the pleasure of empowered women, and so forth.
We hope to continue supporting your organization and its continued plight against the masculine oppression and objectification of women.
_____________,
Lead Animator, ___________
Should I send this, Y/N?
Do it, faggot.
DO IT!!!
FUCKING YES.
LOL yes ftw.XD
OH HELL YES
I'm here!! What are you waiting for!!? do it!! do it now!!!.
this is win
You'd best not be trolling, sir.
............
.........
......
... Now, why the hell is my computer desk levitating.... never mind.
Oh why can nobody stop the censorship train ;_;
Where are the heroes of freedom of speech and men.
That's all part of their evil plan to screw Japan's economy and get all the men for themselves.
MUST.KILL.FEMINISTS.
World War 3 Vandread Style
Sadly ban ALL who looks like a female or loli, and in the end there's only boys & men in the device... DO NO WANT!!!
I've pretty much given up of having a say on this matter. I clearly stated that this would escalate and it does. At this point meer words, statistical figures and factual evidence is not going to slow the snowball rolling. It needs to be smashed. Face it though, no politician would want to defend it (look at the UK over here with all the 'Distasteful' bans). They would be named instantly a misogynist, womanizer or a pedo. All it takes is a simple label, a word to the press(local and international) and you're screwed. Because the masses (all around) are too stupid to figure out anything, they do say ignorance is bliss and that's why hypocrisy goes so well with it.
C'mon...Nekomimi and Preggo? Isn't there actual people who wear "Cat Ears" in reality? And isn't there Preggo porn too? How does that work? Allow real life Nekomimi and Preggo but not imaginary fictional characters? What's next? Ban characters that have F+ oppai because of boob envy?
What!? Did I read nekomimi will also be ban? Nooo!~
This is bad why does these feminist group tend to shutdown every ero games they find dissatisfying I mean these are just games that can satisfy one urge when they need it.
The producer might as well go onto an online model for future ero game release. Let's hope that these feminist group does not win in Japan or else it will be a very bad news for Otaku.
I hope that guys realize that not all women are like this. I'm female and I believe in women's rights, however, they should be EQUAL rights. These feminazis are making it harder to get to that point and that makes me angry.
I love porn and my fetishes run to monster/non-human girls and pregnancy/birth. I'm screwed.
Oh dear you have my condolices.
I rage at this
Any idea if there is already a counter plan being made on 2ch? ^^
I can't say i care much about rape or pregnancy themes, but banning nekomimi?? It's over the edge, i don't think people would stay quiet about it.
First they wanted to protect the 2D women..
Then they wanted to protect the 2D lolis...
Now they're trying to protect the 2D non-human girls!!?
Seriously, WHAT THE F#CK!!!!?
has anyone noticed that no one is standing up for the 2D boys?
Soon all types of eroges will cease to exist. Why must the japanese stop what they started?
its all a Japanese secret plot....
1.get feminist riled up
2.let them win
3.ban eroge
4.sell eroge in the underground market for ridicules prices
5.???
6.profit
7.build more Gundams
Use said Gundams to destroy feminists
8. feminists censor gundams
WTF what's the problem with nekomimis????
If only the world was full of just girls. It would be a better place. We could all use strap on dildo's anyway if we really wanted to!
2012, that when feminist banned all the eroge, and all rages will blown the world away!
World war 3 becouse of censorship.
Another step to Akiba being conquered by the hipsters.
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
I will celebrate the wonder of Your name
For the word that You speak is a song of forgiveness
And a song of gentle mercy and of peace
Let us wake at the morning and be filled with Your love
And sing songs of praise all our days
For Your love is as high as the heavens above us
And Your faithfulness as certain as the dawn.
OK, seriously... WTF?!! At least the lolicon and rape ban had SOME small SEMBLANCE of logic (albet fake, at least they tried to pretend). What's their reason for banning that?
Seriously, some people over there are pretty screwed up... And if they aren't, they SERIOUSLY need to get laid.
Huh. Well, score one for the Online Store team, I guess.
Who ate the apple? Eve did!
Why you ask?
Because Eve was a feminist and didn't like getting fucked by Adam every day so she decided to fuck it up for the both of em!
What the fuck, people? Are you all utter retards?
This stuff is NOT banned. ONE newsletter from ONE eroge producer said that it MIGHT be banned in the future.
And it it has FUCK ALL to do with the feminists, who were complaining about RAPE and said NOT ONE FUCKING THING about nekomimis and wouldn't even know what the damn word means.
READING COMPREHENSION FOR THE WIN. YOU LOSERS.
Well, considering rape and loli "might be banned" eventually came true, all but you can see the implications of a "hypothetical ban in the oh-not-so-distant future".
In other words, try not to fail that much.
As a female, I must say: those bitches need to go down.
All that censoring (including the mosaic censoring) goes against the freedom of expression; if you can consider these kind of drawings/games/visual novels as "freedom of expression" (e.g. in terms of art), then there's no reason to ban these drawings/games/visual novels. Also no real people and animals are hurt during the production of these or similar drawings/games/visual novels; people, it's fiction!!! The Japanese people (and otakus) must know their rights better.
Choo choo. Everybody hop along on the Fail train!
WHAT! No Nekomimi!!! I can understand pregnancy, little brats to overpopulate the world, but nekomimi!
Sadly the problems are in Japan and not the west.
Freedom of Artistic Expression and Speech probably mean something totally different.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE LYNCHED AND HELD RESPONSIBLE!
I don't get why so many people are against the banning of nekomimi but don't care about the banning of prego. We should be against the banning of ANYTHING fetish, not just the stuff that we like. I love nekomimi and don't care much for prego but it's unfair to only defend one just because the other isn't one of your fetishes. Having a fetish doesn't hurt anyone unlike what the feminists are telling everyone, it's how you let your fetish affect your life.
So much for my eroge idea
"Pregnant Nekomimi Loli Rape"
It would have sold millions. Or at least it would have been illegally downloaded a lot.
We are reaping the fruits of a lack of an education in morals and spiritual formation. This censorship will stem such horrible weeds and allow the great mustard seed of well-formed consciences to grow.
Though it pissed me off when they wanted rape and lolicon to be banned, I could at least understand why they thought it was bad. But taking away nekomimi and inumimi is going too far. What's wrong with a cute girls having animal ears and a tail? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Fuck women's rights! We tried to give you equality but that wasn't good enough for you. You had your chance and you blew it.
NOW SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTHS, GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN, AND MAKE ME A SAMMICH!
*clap clap clap clap*
You sir, are my hero.
So what about all those real girls that wear fake cat ears? Should they be force to remove their accessories? And how would you go about censoring real pregnant women? Would you force them to remain out of the public eye or require them to get abortions? You might as well kiss that dream of an increased birth rate good bye if you tell people that pregnancy is indecent.
VICTORY FOR THEE LORD ENKI! THANK YOU GOD!
And to all of you who thought of Kenji as a lunatic. He is a VISIONARY!
We need to UNITE AND CRUSH THE GODFUCKINGDAMNED FEMINAZIS.
Fucking bitches.
DAMN THEM, THEY'RE TAKING AWAY THE CLOSEST THING I HAVE TO FURRY EROGE. DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!
feminist agenda
1. remove sexual content from all forms of media
2. dominate practically everything
3. enslave MAN-kind
4. bring forth an era of bondage (saw style) to harvest sperm cells
Let's just ban everything that makes the life worth living! Good food, games, TV shows, EVERYTHING. Maybe then these feminist bastards would be satisfied, but probably not.
It is not "feminists" who are trying to push these bans. Ture feminism is about the choice ot make youre own decisions about your body and respecting others rights. The groups who are trying to controle the Eroge/erotic anime/AV industry seem to have more in common with militan womanists.
agreed
Okay then... let me get this straight... it's okay to have nudity and sex in a game... but it's NOT okay for any character to get pregnant or have animal ears and a tail? Yeah... that makes alot of sense... not. Seriously... what the hell? If you're going to do that, why not just ban Hentai games altogether?
FUCK ALL YOU FEMINIST GROUPS!!!
LIKE YOUR ALL VIRGINS!
Yes you RIGHT! Let's ERRADICATE ALL vaginal creatures!
no point keep on complaining over this fucking feminist action if nobody willing to to take any action and directly confront them.
I mean directly by frontal confrontation, not protest or demonstration. It is time to show them who is the boss really is... :P
Oddly enough the Nikkei went down since the day of this posting... any coincidence?
