Equality Now to DPJ: “You Must Ban Hentai!”

bound-waitress-murakami-suigun.jpg

Feminist censorship advocacy group Equality Now is launching yet another attack on “hentai,” vowing to make the newly elected DPJ administration ban any material it objects to.

Equality Now director Taina Bien-Aimé refuses to accept the industry’s extensive efforts at self-regulation and insists any “hentai” which her organisation objects to be banned outright:

The EOCS ban is simply not enough given the scale of extreme pornography and violence against women in the Japanese gaming industry.

We need a government-mandated uniform standard applicable to all hentai production companies that will make it illegal to produce games that promote violence against women and girls.”

Using the demands of the UN’s Women’s Convention (CEDAW), which it exerts inordinate influence over, Equality Now seeks to legitimise its own illiberal demands that Japanese people be stripped of their Constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression by camouflaging them as a UN treaty obligation:

“Post-elections, Equality Now’s campaign will continue to pressure the corporations as well as urging the new DPJ administration to comply with its international obligations.

The DPJ administration must understand that by allowing the violent hentai gaming industry to flourish, Japan is in violation of its international commitments to uphold the rights of women and girls.

We encourage the DPJ, as the new ruling party of Japan, to show early and firm leadership in the protection and promotion of women’s rights, including by the critical step of implementing all recommendations of the CEDAW Committee.”

Equality Now and CEDAW were merely emboldened by the refusal of the eroge industry to defend itself from their demands, and are already talking about a ban on any material, whether anime, manga, or game, to which they object.

Whether the DPJ will heed their demands is still an open question; as a leftist party, the DPJ does contain feminist elements more extreme than the LDP, but it also harbours many civil libertarians, and lacks some of the more moralistic elements found in the LDP.

Equality Now have bemoaned the “unprecedented” backlash against their efforts to impose their morals onto Japan previously, so it appears they are unhappy about being on the receiving end of what they mete out to others.

Those wishing to voice their disgust at this organisation’s relentless assaults on freedom of expression can get in touch with them via their site.

Answering the call for a more organised defence of artistic liberty from the puritanical forces of censorship, a new organisation, Yes to Freedom, is seeking to directly counter the hitherto unchallenged media manipulation tactics of Equality Now and their accomplices at CEDAW. You can learn about their efforts at their official website.

You can also find pre-written and ready-to-send letters of support for freedom of speech, of just the sort Equality Now uses to browbeat their targets into submission, on their letter campaign page.

    There's almost a defacto ban on kill off woman and children on screen in hollywood movies.

    A lot of movies show guys being blown away, but whenever it's a child being shot they'll show the guy firing the weapon, but only a toy the child was playing with or a doll that a girl was holding fall to the ground with a bloodstain or something. That's done often enough to make it on TV tropes.

    So what's next? The portrayal of a woman getting killed in TV and Film to be banned?
    XD

    And on the rape thing, what about the eroge games and hentai where women are the instigators upon other females in a violent manner? Are those getting banned too?
    Last time I looked, there was A HELL OF A LOT of yaoi with men being raped and violated....but where are all the men of the 3D world protesting against this? Fact is, they don't give a shit because they just don't watch it or some like it.

    For me, it seems this just expands the line betweens genders and pushes women further from any kind of 'equality'. If you see equality as a form of 'mutual respect' between the genders.

    Wow, they really have something against culture and freedom, don't they? It's quite sad they are using so much energy to ban drawings when they could use that energy to actually help a living, breathing, human organism. I understand why this stuff would offend them, but they can't go around banning stuff they dislike with no clear thought as to what the consequences will be and the people who enjoy this stuff. Not every living organism shares the same opinion as you, and you need to respect that, radical bitches. Seriously, just stop it, get help, get therapy. I think you guys really need it. ^_^

    I don't think this will happen....banning all hentai is like trying to ban all regular pornography in America for example. Even if they did ban hentai...too many people know how to draw it in several countries that you can be sure it would still be circulating.

    Agnes chan a chinese idol is leading a campaign to help japanese women?

    Maybe she should do something about her governments treatment of it's own people and government dissidents.

    That bitch should have been shot at Tienanmen Square to take a bullet for someone that stood for REAL freedom.

    Of course it takes guts to try to muscle to Japanese government...if she tried to muscle the Chinese government, she'd be flayed alive and put up in that bodies museum.

    So, Here's Yes to Freedom's to-do list:
    http://core.nctritech.com/ytfwiki/index.php/List_of_Tasks_and_Task_Assignments

    IRC chat room: #yestofreedom @ irc.rizon.net

    Forums: http://forums.yestofreedom.org/

    I recommend adapting some bits out of the YtF letters I've written (also solace's Timeline [http://www.yestofreedom.org/2009/08/01/a-timeline-of-events/]) and sending them to anti-censorship feminist organizations that would probably be on our side.

    Most of the arguments our side can have are written in them, or otherwise findable somewhere on YtF.

    Also, Neil Gaiman has voiced support for deviant fiction [http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/12/why-defend-freedom-of-icky-speech.html]. Someone could email him, post on his blog to bring his attention to this, etc.

    The Internet's a big place. If any of you actually have connections with Neil Gaiman or Joss Whedon, consider using them productively to help bring their attention to what's going on.

    Here's an old post of mine that could give you ideas for how to approach things:

    Anyway, that's what I recommend for pro-active things to do. What's on the YtF to-do list, letters to "good guy" fem orgs, convincing a celebrity to get involved and make a blog post or press release or such.

    Directly communicating with CEDAW or EN has proven useless.

    They're confused and frightened people who've forgotten how to be civil to one another and instead seek aimless bullying for comfort. What can you do? They're broken, compassionless, intolerant human beings. View them as a natural disaster that comes from humans just having to hate other humans because that's just what some of us do best. Think of approaches to protect against further mindless damage they will no doubt try to cause.

    Even if we ever fixed EN's or CEDAW's ability to empathize with their fellow human beings in equality, there would still be other fanatics with their own spiteful organizations to take up the sword again. It's pitiable, but that's life.

    Writing letters in Japanese to the affected Eroge companies, voicing your support and encouragement to them is not a bad idea.

    If we could convince them to take their tails out from between their legs and release some public statements explaining why EN and CEDAW are the terrorists they've proven themselves to be, then that would be a huge morality boost for the good guys. Yes to Freedom has a large database of arguments Eroge companies could repeat.

    This one stands out in my mind:
    "Banning such material would be unapologetically confining a law-abiding citizen under the pretense that doing so will help to prevent the thought, the fiction, from becoming reality. This is despite how most fantasy themes under review for criminalization involve silly mythological creatures (such as elves, fairies, angels, demons, aliens, etc.), and the erotic circumstances frequently have literally no plausible correlate in reality."

    -

    I've written basically everything I have to say on the subject of eroge/hentai censorship on the Yes to Freedom forums and Arguments page [http://www.yestofreedom.org/arguments/].

    What I'm saying is, this is my personal limit. I'm just repeating myself at this point. And I don't have time to repeat myself, especially when there's zero feedback from who we're attempting civil discussion with.

    EN and CEDAW are pro-censorship after all. It's not really a surprise they are incapable of civil discussion when their default response to speech and animated fiction they dislike is to censor it.

    The EN/CEDAW drama is a soap-opera of negativity.

    And seeing almost zero people show an interest in fighting back has only made it worse.

    The YtF website, to-do list, my above suggestions, and IRC chat are all listed here in this comment.

    If enough people join Yes to Freedom and prove Otaku can work as a team, I'll be there to help again.

    -

    If you don't like Yes to Freedom, consider supporting this guy: http://forums.yestofreedom.org/viewtopic.php?pid=242

    He was just as surprised as the tiny handful of us who made YtF were at how few people care enough to stand up against all this meaningless censorship, book-burning, refusal for civil discussion, bullying and uncivil Orwellian tactics we're all pretty sick of hearing from EN and CEDAW.

    Somehow I'm more certain than ever that working to create AI with a more tolerance-receptive core behavioral architecture will bring the world closer to our goals than what we're doing right now.

    Nevertheless, if a team ever really does assemble with solid goals everyone actually works toward, just tap your heels 3 times, send me an email, and I shall appear once again.

    Azarius, The_Pragmatist, Shuu and a few others know how to get in touch with me.

    Entartete Kunst indeed.
    And for a group claiming to be part of a movement that has always been associated with the left.
    They remind me of modern antifa declaring entartete kunst on nazi punk and declaring it should be illegal to be made and listened to.
    Though no matter how you dice it, feminism and antifa are supposed to be anti-censorship philosophies.
    I've had a lot of experience with bad antifas in my day. But that doesn't mean I'll turn around and declare anti-fa as bad. Antifa is still a Libertarian philosophy and I am a Libertarian.
    I think at this point one of the most antifa things I can do is listen to my nazi punk.

    To try to hide from your own fears and insecurities by persecuting others... there is no greater show of weakness than this. I don't weather I should laugh at them or at the insecure sexist kids around here.

    Instead of portraying themselves as strong and independent being who would bite your dick off and/or pluck out if you try to rape them, they end up portraying themselves as whining dogs who must rely on the (male dominated?) society in order to enforce the ideals that they themselves fail to uphold.

    To think that one can become so detached from reality when they don't have to fight for their own survival... humanity is truly disappointing.

Yes I know the envelope will be thrown out as soon as they get it but none the less I'm willing to throw away some of my favorite doujin in the name of freedom! I encourage others to do the same so then maybe then they'll try to be more "equal" which will proceed to make them get laugh at even harder by not only men but bisexual men and lesbians, also by women bisexual men and gay men.

I for one will not stand for such indignity let us rise up my Sane Brothers and Sisters and put an end to this madness once and for all. DOWN WITH CENSORSHIP!!!! VIVA FREEDOM!!! VIVA REVOLUTION!!!

    But on a serious note I do believe in Equality and Civil Liberties and all that good stuff. But it must be true equality all the time not just when it's convenient. Equality in work, pay, crime, and punishment. No more saying "Well this or that isn't fair, I shouldn't have to do this cause I'm a woman." Well if you really want equality then you have to be willing to take the equal consequences of it too.

    "Equality Now" is just a bunch of ugly/fat women who get irritated by all the perfect/good looking girls that are drawn on hentai/eroge and at the fact that men are attracted to feminine, healthy, good looking girls rather than those failures.

    That's why they want "equality" now! If they can't be proper women, like nature intended them to be, they at least want to ruin every proper human being's happiness by creating unnatural, delusional and childish ideals like "equality". In fact, they are just failed human beings that should have been disposed off by evolution, but instead we have these egoistic, selfish abominations.

    Fuck "Equality Now" and all of their disgusting members and policies.

Someone needs to teach them not to be afraid of breaking UN conventions, especially really vague ones like the type Equality Now is citing. That's like feeling threatened by a toy gun.

    Those females are just jealous, because the hentai chicks steals all the attention.

    Er... Lets see.

    Hentai / Porn has existed as long as man could draw. Its most likely as old as prostitution.

    Males will always want their porn (even the religious/moral nuts who pretend, yet rent porn more than anyone else in hotel rooms).

    Hentai doesn't make most people violent/rapist. If THAT was true, then:
    (A) There would be millions of GTA mass-murders
    (B) There would be hundreds of thousands of Anime/manga rapist/killer/dragon warriors.

    But no. The people who do such horrible things, don't usually need these visuals and those caught, its just part of what they buy. It could even be "Serial rapist prefer Toshiba DVD players over Sony", blah blah.

    If anything, porn gives the guys an outlet to flap it off. Perhaps, more hentai in the world, especially in the middle east - could create world peace.

    Maybe we should all do real rape, because we don't even have the freedom to fantasize anymore. Hentai is a mean for people to channel their lust, not to create lust. Those rape cases are people who are sick from even before they watch hentai!

    We should organise and mail 10,000+ or more doujins to their head office's to show them how many people actually have like this stuff. They would give up instantly realizing nothings more powerfull than a man's "fap-drive".

    People paint my country as warlike...unlike them I think my country needs more wars.

    1) A war on the stock market
    Effect) The Dow goes "Over 90,000!"

    2) A war on small breasts
    Effect) Every woman will have at least a double D

    3) A War on orgies
    Effect) EVERYONE'S GONNA GET LAIIIIID!

    4) A War on science
    Effect) America creates the first gundams, space colonies and we ditch this bitch of a planet...All Hail SPACE BRITANNIA!

    5) A War on the rich
    Effect) Our poor will be have enough money to found and island nation

    6) A War on acceptance
    Effect) Is an America where everyone is kind caring and tolerant still America? or would we have to rename ourselves "Neo Canada"?

    7) A War on loyal wives
    Effect) Take a guess stupid.

    8) A War to defend the use of hard drugs
    Effect) Noone will use cocaine, crack, heroine, or meth again.

    We have to use our history of epic failure in moral crusading as a positive force!

    Fuck censorship! Is this a US organization? If they are, they should stay the fuck out of other countries' business. Since they're trying to ban hentai because of women, then we just change our focus to traps! Traps make better women then actual females muahahaha.

    No, Equality Now is a multi-national institution with offices in countries around the globe.

    There is US office in New York, of course, but that's merely one of many.

    Not again! They couldn't get the UN to do it now they are trying to go at Japan directly. At least this stands no chance of succeeding. They had the moral high ground in wanting to ban lolicon but no in Japan will allow a ban of hentai outright. It would put alot of manga artists out of work which would hurt the already bleeding japanese economy. Besides banning hentai is a clear violation of free speech which is why feminists have never been able to ban porn. Enjoy your fail Equality Now!

    It is quite possible this is a feminazi conspiracy to rule the world. The feminazi's start by removing porn so that the prostitution industry starts booming. More females(and males?) become prostitutes and all the otakus, neets with social anxiety disorder will be forced out of their homes for prostitutes, and everyone else will satisfy their urges with prostitutes. This will increase the spread of STDs and we will all die. Except for the feminazis in the Equality Now cult.

    Grow some fucking balls, japan. What are you, pussywhipped?

    If you allow these hags to control you, all the men in the world will gather and say:

    "Wow... Japanese men... they're not men at all. Look at their porn. Regulated by a bunch of menopausal bulldykes. In comparison to German Scheisse porn. Not a single mosaic in sight. Angela Merkel has more balls than Japanese men."

    Which is depressing.

    What on Earth is wrong with these ladies?

    Don't they realise what they're doing could jeopardise the security and safety of their fellow females everywhere?!

    How can they call themselves Equality Now when all they are doing is warranting dominance over men in general!!

    Why can't we have these ladies CENSURED or PUNISHED?

    I bet these women aren't even government officials!

    Our President is a MAN, too. He should talk some sense into these women...

    Or Japan should refurbish their Constitution and reinstate their old Armed Forces!

    Any group who waste their time defending the rights of two-dimensional female Anime and Manga characters
    should be itself flat out banned!

    BANS WON'T WORK! They just ruin and/or endanger lives!

    Even if bans were passed, if the rate of sexual crimes against women and girls in Japan, the U.S. or anywhere SKYROCKETTED, it would be Equality Now's fault!!

    SO THERE!

    It's disgusting to see this B.S. hypocritical "feminist" organization again. I particularly like the way they say that they'll continue to pressure the DPJ into literally screwing over millions of workers and billions of yen by destroying the hentai industry. They like to dish it out, but...

    "Equality Now have bemoaned the “unprecedented” backlash against their efforts to impose their morals onto Japan previously, so it appears they are unhappy about being on the receiving end of what they mete out to others."

    I find this fukken hilarious (thanx Artefact). If you confront someone/group with falsified/manipulated data and a selective "free speech" initiative, expect to get some resistance, even some punches, cuts and bruises.

    Go to hell, (In)Equality Now. You're needed more in China and the Middle East. However, I sincerely doubt you'd actually waste your time on that region that needs it and possibly risk death to do so.

    One of China's advantages is their ability to ignore Big Government unless it poses a direct threat to life.

    you know, we can totally hold protests for this... just choose any time where a lot of people have free time (ie over the summer or on a holiday) to fly to the EB bitches head quarters in girl's cosplay and protest...

    You can also get some balls and go to the /i/nsurgency wiki (http://partyvan.info), where you can learn a thing or two about how to do DIY DDoS/spam attacks on their website or life-ruining tactics against key EN members.

    there is a nice article in a japanese blog I read today.

    the guy was stating that since small dealers and online shops are the ones pulling the games from the shelves, ppl need to adress them directly!

    no matter how hard a creator tries, in the end the dealers and shops decide what goes on sale and what not!

    I saw a South Park episode where Rob Reiner was trying to ban smoking.

    When he was defeated, Kyle told him off saying,

    "You just don't like smoking! So you use all your money and power to force others to think like you! and that's called FASCISM, you tubby asshole!"

    EN and CEDAW are acting out Reiner's mistake!

    Come on everyone, more signatures are needed here. The petition numbers barely even moved, it's not even doubled from the first time it was posted. I know there are a lot more people here that's not happy with what Equality Now is doing, so you should support this petition and sign it right away:
