I really don't give a crap about this ban. Anime characters are ageless. You can make cute, youthful, sweet, moe girls who aren't underage. It's a drawing.

You get via capitalism to Orwellism, that's the funny thing. It wasn't communism that brought up the censorship ^^

A free world?

A free world is for you mainly a world where you can watch and read pornography with idealized, sexualized children?
You are a free consumer?

What the heck. If it's a free world, I'm sure in Japan no one feels the need and pressure to get educated, to get money and you, as a part of a free world, are free to do whatever you please and have all the responsibility for your life in your hands. You aren't talked bullshit to through advertising and politicians speech in a free world, no clouding and brainwashing in a free world.
Sorry pal, but I think you should think about what constitutes freedom...

Do they?
First of all, the legal age for sex is 13, so a lot of what constitutes as child abuse in other countries does not apply.

And second, we do not know how many children are abused, we can only know the number of pressed charges. Is it easy, is it encouraged or discouraged to press charges in Japan? How openly can you speak about rape?

Of course they are against it. Even "household mangaka" will make an income from or will at least want to have the option of drawing lolicon, since it does sell well. I would protest a cut of one of my income sources, too.
I do not think that this debate is about morals, really.

Always keep in mind the economic interests. It's the strongest force in the world of today.

Artefact perhaps if a parent company is listed they do not list child company-magazines.

It`s also that a lot of hobbies which are engrossing (as anime is) often lead to people losing interest in other things.

Yeah, you can`t win with boobs, can`t win without them.

We should just draw women wearing breast plates with chain mail burqas. Oh, but that would also be oppression.

What does `respect` mean here, I don`t really respect ANY form of sexuality, any more than I do taste in ice cream. I just acknowledge it.

Not really, what she`s published so far could fall under what they want to ban, you know how broad that shit gets when haters get creative at stomping creativity.

I think we all know the eroge guys also signed, but we put them at the bottom of the list because we want to show the most popular universal non-H guys to get the point across that this is no isolated issue.

I find it very amusing how Japan itself seems to forget that they have some of the lowest sex crime rates, especially child abuse in the world.

I have been reading this kind of topics and i thinks that the only way we have to fix their brains is to appeal to count for insulting us by calling us rapists and staff. They wont care for words but if we strike their money they may just get it.
No point in speaking with fanatics.

Regarding the post above about Tipper Gore: wrong. She did not at any time propose a "ban" on any music. In response to the public displays of viciously anti-social imagery and lyrics in rap--not heavy metal--she lobbied for printed lyrics to be made available to parents, "plain wrapper" covers for CDs with explicit nudity and violence, and the ratings system.

All these things came to pass in one form or another, and the industry--despite its bawlings and wailings to the contrary--survived.

While there is good cause for people to stand up for community standards--as Tipper Gore did--what is going on in Iowa and what is proposed in Japan (a blanket outlawing of images and/or imprisonment for possession of drawings) is preposterous. They're as different as day and night.

How much loli-hentai do you suppose they read in the Boy Scouts? Or the Vatican? They DO have one book in common, though! Anyone wanna propose making possession of THAT book illegal?

Well, I'm totally against the ban, but somehow makes me think about this boom in ero-anime.

We've been seing things animated for TV that you would only seen in softcore porn, showing less and less plot and more and more ero to attract viewers.

People have been pushing the bar for a bit, and now the backlash came with this ban proposal.

I dunno but if I want ero I'd rather see a hentai than a late-slot anime right? Let those for shows with mature story-telling.

Поддерживаю борьбу против запрета на аниме и лоликона.
По мне так это какой то дебилизм считать 2д девочек за реальных детей.
Если они боятся что это влечёт к реальным то крупно ошибаются. Я до сих пор не слышал чтобы в Японии кого то громко изнасиловали , педафилия.
По мне просто политикам нечего делать в мирном времени для Японии и вот крутят херню чтобы было чем заняться и подзаработать возможно.

I've got to say... Even though I wasn't alive at the time, I 'remember' in the eighties Al Gore's wife, Tipper Gore I think was her name got on a moral crusade to ban heavy metal music. As with lolicon, it was of course a largely christian based movement with an extreme right moralist base. Their entire argument was the old "think of the children" tactic which is still often employed to great effect today. Bands like cannibal corpse were sited for their extremely graphic violent content; and I'm sure we all know just how depraved some hentai can be. Either way, the fact it's essentially impossible to ban any form of artistic expression. A loli-ban would basically be like a cyber version of the war on drugs; paramount to thought crime. It's completely absurd in the free world, including Japan. In that case, famous musicians including John Denver gathered to speak about the importance of freedoms of speech. When I read this article I got the feeling that it's the same story in Japan. There is a cultural phenomenon there that not everybody likes, so a select few people are trying to just make it go away; you know, for the children. I really hope that creative freedom and artistic integrity win the day once again. "Of all the tyrannies of humankind, the worst is that which persecutes the mind." ~ John Dryden
