Opponents of censorship have been disappointed by the LDP’s failure to disavow its efforts to ban much anime, manga and games with vague and overly sweeping new restrictions on child pornography, as a final verdict on the new law has now been put off until autumn.
Activist mangaka Ken Akamatsu explains the current situation, which under Japan’s arcane parliamentary procedure essentially amounts to a stalemate which mildly favours ban opponents:
The current session of the National Diet has concluded. Because of the fight within the LDP between proponents of the ban and those who urge caution, in the end the bill remained under deliberation when the session ended.
It is unfortunate we could not see the bill abandoned, but I’d like to think it will at least take some revision to win over the more cautious members.
We will continue to protest this in order to get creative works explicitly excluded.
[…]
As for what follows, although it is still “under deliberation,” in reality it will not be discussed again at all until the autumn session.
We need to fire up opposition to the bill in that time!
Oh not again, Why do they even dare to consider anime manga and novels would be such a dangerous thing to watch/read really.. I grew up with reading and watching and have been doing so for past 20 years, That ban would greatly affect future releases on both existing anime/episodes and new ones in the making, Loli ban? so no more anime with even young girls so we would have to watch future anime with mature women instead sheesh..
And really it is bad as it is for the future stuff
with a law like that but what about the existing
anime out there? Removed from the web, Already
plenty of hentai sites/videos been removed.
Sure i do not watch tentacle stuff but i like
the brother/sister stuff and it’s cartoon
animated sex how is that bad or worse then real
childporn wich is actually a real issue.
Japan grew up with stuff and genres like those
and now the old people want to destroy a legacy
and make all us otakus angry who watch and buy’s
alot of dvd’s. Praying here that the power of
otakus lolis and authors them self can scrap that bill
once and for all!
How the fuck is censoring lolicon going to stop the pedophiles that are molesting girls in trains? NOTHING! They dont care about law. its the same crap as the gun control debate in the US
Quick somebody! Anybody! Get me a powerful magnet!
I’m looking over at my shelf and I see a LOT of anime that could spell trouble for me if this ban passed.
3 things :
1>There should be no restrictions or censorship on ANY FICTION that does not involve real children. That means all manga/anime should be legal.
2>Nudity by itself should not be considered as porn. Porn is an act of sex. Nudity by itself is not sex even if it can be sensual.
2>Age of consent should be 13. There is a difference between children and teen-agers.
Lol Japan is killing it’s own media industry just to appeal to some biggots in the west and a femanizi?
Come on Japan. US just passed same-sex marriage okay but now your afraid of cartoon lolis in manga and anime? Lame. Too much listening to Bill.
Actually… I just remembered something. We have chemical castration. One injection makes you not want any wet hole for 3 months. So, instead of gently nibbling weed’s leaves, the ground should be destroyed, so there wouldn’t be anywhere to place the roots. If you can’t reeducate the people, do it with force.
The effect of loli ban may be seen only after 100 years or so. But by modifying human’s “want”, the effect can be seen immediately.
That is, if gov really wants to fix the nation or is that just an excuse for advertising themselves for oncoming elections.
Good to see femis making good on their promise to make anime nothing but BL, shota and, yaoi.
I swear everything they touch dies.
How could you not even understand the basics of what this ban is proposing to do?? So much blinding hate… 🙁
and it seems i do not get comment replies because of so much blind hate … 🙁 sorry for copy. i do not take it personally either way but i spilled some black sauce “reffering to a certain anime with an invading thing”. at least i had the impression it could ressemble something on the like.
here i found a video explain the full extent of feminazi efforts to censor loli,hentai and porn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZMbDJwoijI
This. It would be nice if people stop pretending that femi ism has nothing to do with this. On this very site regarding censorship, femi groups have almost ALWAYS been at the center of it all. Banning what they find offensive.(selective censorship, of course. They don’t find BL, shota , yaoi offensive)
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the people who say Im wrong should go watch this.
I’m not surprised the politicians keep pulling the same sandbagging strategies they have before with the anime/manga bans.
If Japan didn’t have such a corrupt and cowardly court system this wouldn’t even be an issue.
They call stuff child pornography without any real involvement of children, but only fictional characters?! ARE THEY FUCKING RETARDED?! Did some kinda manga/animé with an idiocy-virus only affecting parliament members come to life in Japan or what?
They dont have enough jails to jail ALL OF JAPAN for violating the loli ban.
Japan should use the senkaku islands and create the Anime Islands. 2D Paradise! Like another akihabara but better and artists, mangaka, otaku, neets and the like can all live there and draw whatever the fug they want completely free from the laws of Japan. Only true otaku women are allowed no fujoshi, no shuubi, no cosplay model opportunists who dont even know the damn characters they’re cosplaying, no fuggin akb and handshaking events keep that shet where it is. No whorey advantage taking women or idols, the only idols praised there are praised for their otaku knowledge. Make Shokotan the Mayor.
taking lolis away from japan is like taking hamburgers away from america it just doesn’t work
We want our lolis!
you’re WAY overestimating the demand for that kind of material
Maybe you’re underestimating…
Save the loli. Fuck this ban.
Sigh, well the people who support this ban are simply saying that are crazy lunatics.. I guess the more technical name would end with phobia like interphobia, transphobia etc… since this law in effect bans pictures on physical features and not age, which is obvious nonsens for art
I’m not quite sure, but I might have heard the phrase ‘tween angst’ before.
Damn why don’t the otaku of japan become useful and kill the bastards that propose this ban instead of kidnaping, raping, killing, selling, etc little girls at least your being caught will have some meaning as to postpone, stop bills like this.
If this legislation is passed, consider Japan’s precious animation industry will be ruin and it’s importance to the world will be diminish…
Lesson to all, if activists are happy with what the politicians are saying about an issue. It means it going to fail.
Well Japan, here’s your very last chance to protect your freedom. We all know this isn’t about loli at all. It’s all about you losing all your constitutional rights to right wing despots.
I’m really curious if there’s any fight left in the sheep.
I really don’t understand why they keep investing their time and energy into this bill. It failed twice and they want to keep it going. Don’t they have anything better to do? Like, trying to stop bullying and abuse of actual children made of flesh and blood so they won’t fucking kill themselves?
Who are the assholes behind the scenes pushing for these fag-tastic bills? Japan with it’s anime and manga was really the only thing that got others interested in it.
Now their drying up the well to suit some dickshits? Well as soon as Japan turns into some nasty western-knock off “cartoons” that’s it for anime for me. I don’t watch anime for over-sized big breasted ancient fiction women. I watch it for the expression, taboos, and exploration. 😛
Right wingers want to force everyone to breed, willingly or not. And left wingers want to protect women’s rights, even fictitious women.
If loli ban pass, Edogawa conan will be safe from the black organization.
So they delayed it in the hopes that people forget about it and companies have time to phase out any products containing underage characters, because you know publishers will think twice about putting their money on products that could be illegal by the end of the year.
Social engineering at its finest.
Why the fuck are politicians even focusing on this shit? They should be worried about getting the country’s economic growth back on track, and maybe do something about all the damned NEETs, not dicking around about what, in the end, amounts to nothing more than pixels on a screen of individuals that aren’t even real. Leave my fictional characters alone!
The world is going insane. That’s all i can say.
Not a big fan of Ken’s works but god damn Iam becoming huge fan of him thanks to all his involvement in this whole deal.
Ken Akamatsu. The hero lolis need.
I can see a future for him in politics if he gets into a more lobby minded approch, gathers more support and improves his connections.
Right now he is the fucking voice of anime, visual novels, manga and games up there, and the lolis everywhere really do need to be heard.
The ban is wrong, plain wrong. Just a distraction, economics are going to hell and they are misdirecting attention to some easy target like poor lolis ;_;
This is a disappointment. -_-; Are there no sane people left in the world.
This is a disappointment. -_-; Are there no sane people left in the world.
Lol shit I feel bad for fans that actually do have a loli addiction. Now where they hell can they relieve their addictions now?
Everything’s getting banned! And I know Arte is a big giant loli faggot, Sankaku is basically loli-pro!
This is like GAY man! Totally GAY! No more fapping to Love Ru? No more cute lil lolis romping about naked in the field with hot bishonen? LAAAAAME! I want my loli-desu fantasies back!
This is a disappointment. -_-; Are there no sane people left in the world.
So it’s been delayed? hopefully finished off once and for all. Need my loli.
sososoososossoossoosososososos soo… sooo sooo… yes my fap is delayed. i fap later.
It’s not just about loli, any anime, manga, video game, with characters in the ages of being in high school and below, that has a type of “fanservice” will be subject to be banned, so….pretty much everything.
LONG LIVE THE LOLIS 😀
YOUR WISH, MY ORDERS!!!
ALL HAIL OUR LOLI OVERLORDS!!!!!
HAIL HAIL
HAIL OUR LOLIS!!!
I don’t see the point to the loli ban, I mean, its cartoons. I think they should worry more about the groping of women on their public transit systems than about some cartoon little girls. Besides they are a part of the culture over there and such.
Actually, this bill was to close some necessary holes in the law that still allowed for CP to be transferred on technicalities. However, it’s so over-arching, that it covers anime/manga/galge/eroge/etc that has noting to do with CP at all.
Maybe it was written that way to cover the LDP’s move to go after these industries while getting CP loopholes plugged up. Either way, this bill should be rejected and re-written to ONLY plug the holes that still allow for CP to be transmitted/shared, period.
The entire bill needs to be struck down. It has no place in limiting anime just because there are people out there who find imaginary books with imaginary cartoon characters disgusting.
Read something else, but don’t violate our rights to read fiction! When has Japan gotten so weak and turned into a push-over. If they think banning lolicon is going to help their falling reproduction status in the real-world then their in for a fail surprise.
Actually, those holes don’t need to be closed. What needs to be done is for people to realize that 99% of child pornography is made with the full consent and permission of the children/teenagers in question (yes, they are MORE than capable of consent no matter what the law says currently) and to move on past trying to illegalize anything but snuff films and hard-core physical child abuse in those things.
Does manipulation have no bearing on consent?
I do think that CP should be legalized, but not for the reason you mentioned. Hell, I don’t even like CP. Too 3DPD for me. But regardless, images of CP should be treated just like images of any other crime. If it is legal to watch a child get brutally murdered on camera, why is it illegal to watch a child have sex? Isn’t murder a worse crime than child abuse anyways? It simply makes no sense to me.
Yes, but stopping train gropers is HARD WORK and doesn’t have a tangible, simplistic solution where banning dirty cartoon pornographers is as easy as pie – just write a law and bang! problem solved!
Clearly you’ve never been in politics, because the APPEARANCE of progress is far more important than actual progress.
I don’t understand why they would even bother with this when they can kill people and even destroy the entire world in anime, yet this whole loli thing gets blown HUGELY out of proportion.
Yeah, I bet it’s fine for little girls to be murdering each other like in Higurashi but it’s offensive for them to be naked or shown as sexy… (even in a joking/funny way)?
“Your” society has always been fine with violence. For crying out loud, America was founded on genocide. Sex was ALWAYS “evil”.
That’s exactly my point.
Violence is bad, sex is good. Our society has turned it upside down.
Feminist groups will stop at nothing to oppress their male superiors.
stop confirming their beliefs, please… feminists suck but so do MRAssholes, don’t be either one!

You, dear commenter, are holy
The country is run by scared old people.
Naturally they hate what is new because it doesn’t fit in their twisted understanding of the world which is still in the glorious WWII scenario.
We have the same situation in the US.
I don’t recall lolicon being in the public eye recently.
It’s a battle between old and new generations.
WWII? By that you mean how the “old farts” in question were rampaging around asia actually raping real women and real lolis… Sounds solid, maybe they’re angry that the anime remind them of the “good old times”.
I still blame Agnes. She’s both a christian extremist, a feminazi (aka not a real feminist), and a failed gravure model. That’s many ingredients enough for one who could be seen as the instigator of this loli hate crime.
The sad thing is that feminazis are feminists and have hijacked the movement the same way lunatics hijacked the men’s rights movement.
The Men’s Rights movement was never hijacked. It has always been mostly a bunch of disgruntled divorcees (with some definite issues to discuss). There have always been lunatics in their ranks as well, but they’ve never been the most vocal. It’s only people who want to equate the movements who pretend that’s true, when the movements aren’t similar in the slightest.
Now i fear for Gust, Nippon Ichi Software and others that make my life nicer.
OMG what is gonna happen to Illusion games?
Thier all going to have their older titles banned and be forced to make everything with giant breasts or else.
=____= these bills aren’t going to help japan but hurt it. And it’s going to push real otakus away, not the shitty non-hentai ero ones.
they really want to create more jobless … that’s sad
There is always the option of working for the NEET home security force.
woooooo!
The Revolution is Now.

Irrefutable evidence.
Why can’t there just be a vote to get you off our internets?
I’m sorry, but Taylor has a point.
Whenever “3d” women wanna go on about what they find offensive, they’re loud, obnoxious,and won’t STFU.
When it’s time to stand up to freedom of expression when it isn’t defending yaoi or BL, they mousy, quiet and no where to be found.
In essence, he’s absolutely right.
ps: i am not taylor.
i wasnt offended by the message… but i dont want to rp (implying that RP is taking an [anime] picture and chatting as usual). something about rp in internets is weird. too weird for me imho. but i have only watched them RP ppl from afar.
i like psychology too but do have to hold my comments ? <.<
but i am very likely that “terribly love song” guy… at least it hit something <.<
I don’t understand your logic against “3D women”.
Exactly, it’s nonsense. And I can completely understand anyone loving 2D characters more than anything, even more than anything real and 3D. I love 2D more than 3D but I also still love 3D and have nothing against it. Loving things is wonderful, but then at the same time spewing venom against something else… that’s what I have a problem with. If only he could express his love for 2D without being such an asshole and putting down other people.
thanks for the hot gifs
weee are the championss, my friendd..That songs still in my head from the Miami Heat victory.
Heres your reply fresh hot and ready for delivery.

I hope ya precious NSA comes and kick your ass

Where did you see me say All ?
learntoread.hookedonphonics.com
I DID IT!
Before the fujoshi and shuubi with her 17 accounts logged in and voted me down, I accomplished one of my dreams with this comment!
Holding BOTH the TOP COMMENT and BOTTOM COMMENT on sankaku!
WOO!!
This is quite a big moment for me.
For any of you who studied psychology or even was part of any debate class you know how hard something like that is. To be both the villain and the hero.
Only elite thinkers can pull off such a feat, like those who create legendary stories where they have to write the role of both the good and bad guy and make them both realistic and appeal in a way the audience finds themselves sympathizing with both. Kinda like how The Dark Knight and the joker role was written.
I did it, Till shuubi and the fujoshi arrived that is. Another sankaku landmark. No other user has held BOTH the top and bottom comment in history. I will certainly be the first inductee on the sankaku hall of fame. Thank you, thank you all very much. I’d like to thank education for making me so smart. Pedo religious guy I see ya out there! And all my secret followers, I know you agree with me often, but u just can’t say so publically.
It also shows that there are some reasonable non butt hurt people out there who aren’t ruled by their emotions and are capable of critical thinking and considering a point regardless of the source. So congratulate yourselves as well. In my eyes you have graduated from retarded sankaku users, to just stupid ones. It’s a big moment for you too. God bless you all.
Yes yes… type the most likeable thing here in one post (about praising lolis) while making another post about supporting real 3D child porn. Of course only you could think up such a brilliant scheme like that to get the top and bottom posts! 😛

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm
One of your “dreams” was related to votes up/votes down on an internet site…? Wow… What can I say. That is pretty sad.
Oh no no no sir. My post was not about praising lolis. It was neutral on the issue and mean and anti-woman and talked harshly about the reality of the uselessness of women. Something that would absolutely be voted down especially by women. But there is still some hope in sankaku if at one point that post was voted to quality before fujoshuubi showed up not because of my harsh words toward women, but because of the truth and objectivity of the post and its voters in spite of those harsh words. This was no cheap or easy win. And even if it was its still hard to do I bet you can’t.
and posts about the hotness of 3d lolis doesn’t get voted down on sankaku believe me.
They should focus on uncensoring their porn instead. Everyone can agree to that.
Its only censored in Japan. They make uncensored porn for sale outside Japan.
would there be something wrong with me if I said that I actually like hentai censorship? I mean, aside from being accustomed to it, it does leave a little to the imagination. And considering some artists can’t draw genitalia well enough worth shit, that’s probably a good thing. Of course, quality of censorship varies as well (tiny mosaics or little black bars can still look good, though the same can’t be said of some big black splotch that covers not only the offending areas but also the entire pelvic region).
Nonetheless, I do agree that it shouldn’t be mandatory. Options are always a good thing to have.
I don’t believe that ANYTHING censored should still be restricted to 18+ though. Something rated for mature adults but is still censored doesn’t make any sense to me. If the censoring of anime can allow it to show on tv or at earlier times in order to get more viewers, I think it’s great (but late night, 2AM and still censored? weird).
You can have sex in real-life yet we’re not allowed to see some cartoon’s genitalia? That is lame friend, LAME.
First the lolis then the porn.
Why precious 2d girls are better than 3d whores reason #5647
Here is something that you probably have not yet asked yourself:
With all of the female mangaka and illustrators, the thousands of female voice actors, figure sculptors, cosplayers, product packagers, phone answers, and all the thousands of women benefiting from anime. Anndd female activist politicians. Where is the female voice on this historic culture changing political issue? I don’t mean one or two random names you can name, I said TENS OF THOUSANDS of women in anime. Where are they?? I mean if they agree or not where are they? Is this just another example of lazy women letting men do everything and then whining about being treated unfairly?
I constantly call women useless and this is a issue they could have extreme influence on since it indirectly or directly is specifically about women and all it requires a voice. Not even any real work, not asking you to write a law, we know you can’t, and they are nowhere to be found. With all the women working profiting, benefiting, from anime with an issue that dirreectlly affects them, No word. Especially on the issue of lolis a women’s voice would have a maaajor influence since all the men who speak up would just be called pervs and pretty much basically can’t do shit on this issue. But an intellectual women (which I guess are imaginary) stepping forward talking about freedom of artistic expression even if she doesn’t like loli would make a huge difference.
You guys are always ass kissing women and telling me how amazing they are and worthwhile and how I’m always wrong, well I ask,
Where are your not worthless women now?
Show your unnecessary need for 3d women and their only getting involved in society and the future well being of generations, if it somehow benefits them in someway and switch to 2d. The Revolution is Now.
2d vs 3d Scoresheet:
2d girls – 5647
3d girls – 1
If thats the case they should ban 3D adult porn where in the female porn actress wears JC or schoolgirl uniform to make it fair for the 2D industry.
its just art.. why would they even consider banning something thats not real at all.. its so dumb its like banning violent movies or something.. just silly =P
its a blade… yes its a blade…. yes.
do you even sillythus :D? ^^
lol.
i keep on reading your…. comment…. and i lol so hard i dont even know why.
i really laughed. nothing bad or something. its like someone is telling me very exactly whats up ;P
Hello Dr. Hibbert!
hello
It’ll happen eventually.
Shut up Canada! Get back on my head and stop harassing kids about their loli manga at the border!
No Amarica stop being egotistic idiots, and many you should get off our asses.
They should really make a Yaoi ban first if they want to ban lolis.
Um, no.
To be honest, I’m surprised they have not. With Eatshithara’s anti-gay comments readily accepted by everyone, it’s clear there would not be much opposition.
I-Shit-Hardah got the ball rolling. This is the follow-up. If Japan didn’t underestimate i-shit-hara when he passed his fag-tastic bill these other bills wouldn’t have made it.
Oh Japan, what’s going to happen to manga and anime now. All our artists are going to get axed by these unconstitutional bills.
Japan is VIOLATING the rights of their artists and readers with these discriminatory bills. And their just being allowed to do it!
Neither should be banned.
Sankaku is just calling this a “loli ban”, it’s actually against “underaged fictional characters” of both sexes. This ultimately effects all anime fans for the worse, though.
Lol I want my fiction lolis and my teenies to grope each other! Don’t make it illegal LAWLZ XD
LOL, WHY ILLEGAL TO WATCH CARTOON OR READ BOOK!
Loli & Shota ban. Whatever.
See, that one was a ban to the 18+ shelves. So stuff like to love-ru would have to be marked 18+ and not sold to minors despite not having actual sex. It was also just a tokyo ban specifically. Not the end of the world since the plan wasnt to make it illegal or anything though it would have hurt the industry no doubt.
This ban sounds like an actual total ban of loli material making it illegal in jp which would be extremely problematic and difficult to enforce. Perhaps Ive misunderstood artifacts sensational reporting though?
Evangelion has loli, so how many fans of that anime are just going to say “whatever”?
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/04/27/tokyo-loli-ban-will-include-evangelion/
(LOL, that link is from 2010 and here we are 3 years later…)
Evangellion has loli, so how many fans of that anime are just going to say “whatever”?
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/04/27/tokyo-loli-ban-will-include-evangelion/
(LOL, that link is from 2010 and here we are 3 years later…)
Why? Let the women and the girls enjoy some man on man just like you enjoy girl on girl.
Why ban yaoi!?!?!?!?
Because sankaku is not a group of fudgepackers and fujoshi.
Thank you Diemeow23.
I’m a fujoshi and I greatly enjoy this site, however things like this make me cringe and generally make me want to stop visiting this site at all. It’s not like we’re going to pair you up with your bro or something or that we’re judging you in any way.
Also the image OreImo gives of fujoshi is wrong, like that’s just an overly extreme thing and unless someone has really bad autism they wouldn’t act like that?
Fujoshi are the Trekkies of Japan.
Seriously people! Taking pride in stating that Loli/Shota should not banned simply because of personal preference(ie banning something just because you don’t like it), but when fujoshi with their respective likes pop up, you immediately shoot them down.
Well, that’s because most people are intolerant shitheads. My mother likes gays (as people), but absolutely hates lesbians (because they are disgusting). I like lesbians (in a sexual way and in romantic fiction), and I tolerate gays as long as they don’t come (also cum lol) onto me, I’m fine with them.
LDP better reject the retarded ban or they’re going to lose what’s left of the little otakus who actually voted for them.
So true
Exactly. You cannot piss off a big group of your supporters like this and expect to be elected once again.
Japan will kill its own manga industry off with these retarded bills. The bright idea started with that idiot asshole Ishihara now this is a follow-up.
Old ass farts passing gay laws that do nothing but restrict entertainment. Does nothing to help real people just makes artists and reader material persecution able.
Japan is becoming as bad as the west with this silly worship of putting cartoon characters on the same level as real breathing people.
You meant to say “what’s little left of Japan economics”.
Abenomics Seppaku or Bust
Hahaha, you think manga and anime are a big deal in Japan? Most people don’t care about it, just the otaku that put them in pedestals.
@08:58 – read properly! he was responding to “you think manga and anime are a big deal in Japan?”
Insignificant, huh? Weekly Shonin Jump sells nearly 3 million copies on a weekly basis. That’s more than most video game titles sell throughout their life cycle. And greater than the number of viewers that watched Game of Thrones season one.
With a combined total of around 156 million copies sold annually, Weekly Shonin Jump is hardly insignificant. Retard.
I didn’t know Shonin Jump was a loli ero zine
Says the Europian with no industry or economic actvity, lol
It’s mainly eastern europe without any economic growth. Which is to be expected, when the government funnels everything into their own pockets and filthy gypsies run wild.
lolis and world economics there has to be an anime/manga idea in there somewhere
Lol, what a fool. European economy is just fine on the whole. You should be more concerned over the dying economy of Murricah and the fake/illusionary one of China.
so, you’re a pee on? ahaha…
Correct orthography is your friend.
Also if you haven’t noticed, economy is wrecked all over the world.
Awww yea.
The right-wingers are back in power in Japan. This is going to pass and there’s nothing you pervs can do about it. LOL.
Fuck you we’ll bounce back bitch! Just need the right people in office and we can dethrone these gay ass bills. ONE DAY THE PERVERTS WILL WIN AGAIN!!!
We could always take the JRA approach
Fuck anime and manga. It all looks the same, no variety, cheap-ass animation, and fucking creepy. Compared to western animation, we win!
Fuck your gay ass lame western animations. Ugly as hell useless predictable super-man in tights hobo shit.
Anime is win. Manga is Boss. Your shitty animators simply cannot compare to the gloriousness of Japan’s manga industry, taboo and all!
Your western animation is weak and babiefied, Japan is mysterious and explorational! Your animation doesn’t even have sex and when it does it’s such a joke! Ugly!
I hope they ban pedo shit from manga and anime, it gives Japan a bad rep.
Perhaps we should ban youfrom the planet.(and those who share your beliefs) People like you give humanity a bad rep.
Who cares if they ban child sex in anime and games? It’s not like Japanese are going to protest. They’ll find another fetish to fill the void and forget about it.
If you think this is about “child sex in anime and games”, then you understood absolutely nothing at all. It’s a ruse. A feint.
But yeah, this just proves that you just have to mention loli or underaged sex and you can get away with just about everything.
Let me guess, you are also one of those people who actaully believe that it’s a good thing to lose your most basic rights for “the fight against terrorism”, right?
What a sheep.
Japanese don’t care about individual rights, they are collectivists. If people around them tell them child sex is a no-no, they’ll comply.
On another note, you know american cartoon had some pretty good characters? Teen Titans. The show wasn’t bad either. If only American animators realized theres a market in the us for young adult to adult animation I think it would be interesting to see what they create. Teen Titans would make a grown up anime like series. Mmm Raven… and the other girl eh what was her name Mmm eye glowing girl. She was cute with her love for robin. She qualified as moe. If they wrote powerpuff girls a little more seriously and changed the animation it might be a good too. I did hear there was a powerpuff anime version never got around to checking it out though.
Wasn’t teen titans influenced by anime anyways? There’s also Avatar TLA which was kinda for all ages, granted it was childish at times.
And powerpuff girls anime? …You mean Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt?:p
I must say you have a good point, in a slightly related note I like GTA San Andreas because of CJ and his random antics, how I wished that he could have been the MC of GTA 4. Point is I liked GTA SA for it’s characters not graphics
Maybe America should concentrate on making more likable characters (YES! male/or female sheesh) rather than shallow graphics
Starfire
Starfire yeahhh!!
Starfire was hot. She even had a good name. I wonder if theres starfire porn.

I don’t think you’d like her. In the comics when she’s an adult she sleeps with every guy she can get (something about how on her home planet it’s like saying hello) and wears next to nothing. Pretty ecchi how the cute little girl from a kids show grows up to ditch the cuteness for pure sexyness.
I shall try this zone sama.
1604 Wait..thats not official comics right? o_o either way link me.
Powerpuff Girls was awesome as it was.
you people must disagree with me no matter what huh haha
It wasn’t bad, coulda been better though.
make a good*
And thus the 2D Revolution survives!
JAPAN! YOU BASTARDS!
NUKE THE NATIONAL DIET OF JAPAN THAT WILL STOP THEM!
Honestly, you think banning loli ero will kill anime and manga? It’s just a niche fetish, far from mainstream even for Japanese otaku standards.
Not really a fetish or a niche, but not exactly a blockbuster genre, either…
The real problem is not how massive of a genre it is; rather, that EVERY anime genre, in one way or another, includes what these politicians would consider “child pornography” (just see early episodes of Dragon Ball and you will notice).
So, more than half of animes would get banned episodes, or banned FULLY, for… a mere technicism. THAT… is why the ban would kill anime and manga. For a technicism. An ignorant technicism, no less, since politicians actually asociate fictional characters with an age as if they were persons. Fuck logic, I know…
I said it once and I say it again: I suspect they are doing all this to distract people’s attention from real problems, like… you know, actual child abuse.
The term the camel’s nose comes to mind.
Once the camel’s nose is inside the tent the rest will surely follow.
Always gotta wonder where the camel ends and how big it is with regards to the tent.
f yeah, finally this loli fever is coming to an end and we will get good quality animations like we used to, at last!!!
You mean “good quality animations like we used to” that had naked lolis in it like Doraemon?
don’t be duped, things will get worse for all anime if this happens. The easiest way to explain one outcome of this ban… remember how tentacles got popular in anime? the censoring for penises made it happen
Yaay for old anime! Can’t wait for more cowboy bebop! Oh wait even that had a loli.
Japan you disappoint me. You were once the country where pervy videos of underaged REAL girls were perfectly legal and sold in the streets. You have fallen from your former glory.
I blame it on all the weaboo English teachers flying over there hoping for some Japanese person to fall in love with them and behave like they do in the animes. Once the fail they and they’re old and lonely they turn on Japan and use their “high morals” western influence to infect the nation. Yep Japan was a better country when it was closed off to you foreigners and your influence. They should at least stiffen up their immigration to include only gaijin with a masters degree and something to offer society other than teaching English. But as Japanese are learning more and more English on their own they will no longer have use for you worthless japanophiles wha ha ha.
Disclaimer:
Now none of that was said to get a rise out of people. It is just my opinion. If you don’t like my opinion just ignore this vote it down and feel good about yourself. Try to control yourself and not reply to me so I’m not called a troll. Just. Don’t. Reply. Show that you are better and more mature than me and ignore this post. Be the bigger person. I’m just a retard right and all the other names you people call me so you should be able to be above me and not reply. Replying with a rant means that you can’t handle someone having an opinion that hurts your feelings and you must therefore bitch and moan meaning you are the troll not me.
There let’s see if that works. I think I might add this to all my posts lol.
Demand an end to American cultural imperialism!
Holy shet I don’t have 4000 comments. My disclaimer worked! Thank you psychology for teaching me how to shut people up. Im going to use that from now on.
Hm. Well, I only have two things to say about your… opinion, as you call it.
I quote:
“Japan you disappoint me. You were once the country where pervy videos of underaged REAL girls were perfectly legal and sold in the streets. You have fallen from your former glory.”
…can you elaborate this bit of your opinion further…? Because if it means what I (and perhaps some others) think it means… then… I will just, like… walk out slowly and quietly now.
And the second thing is an opinion on my part. I think you got little replies since you posted a wall of text. A rule of finger on mostly all communities: nobody cares to read walls of text, thus, not many reply to them, either. but as you yourself would, that is my opinion, so who knows…
The wall of text issue may or may not apply here. What psychology taught me was that (banning the possibility that a psychologist who doesn’t get paid by her sole client inevitably goes on a hunger strike and dies, because it’s what may have been suggested instead) psychologists are outside of what’s called society. And since what matters to them is not the satisfaction of their readers, but only of their colleague reviewers, go figure.
Tell that to my other walls of text on every topic and get 4000 replied. You must be new here.
Yes, I’m sure anyone who’s slinging mass insults like “you worthless japanophiles” around isn’t trying to get a rise out of anybody. But I won’t rant, rather I’ll just say 2 points:
* They’ll still need some immigration to handle the menial/manual labor native Japanese don’t want to do.
* Japanese English education is an exercise in “teaching to the test”; I doubt removing their interaction with native English speakers will improve anything.
Not to mention that there’s a much more serious concern about the proposal. It’s basically an admission that Japan’s higher education is worse than its foreign equivalents, because it bans prospective students as well (and the education is not even free of charge as can happen elsewhere). It wouldn’t sit well with the academia, they are ambitious people. It’s like converting an away loss to a draw, but also turning a home win into a loss.
And that’s all I ask for, at least an attempt at intelligence. I’m making my followers smarter already. Btw anyone who replies to me is my follower regardless of what you say. My plan seems to have worked!
Calling someone a worthless Japanophile should bother then unless they’re a worthless Japanophile. If it strikes a cord in people its because theres some truth in it isn’t there.
I think menial/manual labor will still probably be covered by neets, low grade otaku, and other people who feel between the cracks of society. In any nation there are always plenty of natives who need work. They don’t need foreigners for this.
I didn’t say there wouldn’t be any foreigners at all, I said only those with masters degrees and something to offer other than teaching English. All you have to do is create incentive for people in those other fields to spend some of their free time teaching English. Plus online lessons. Plus those who are ACTUALLY interested in teaching English and bothered to get a masters degree in a related field and aren’t just going over there to be terrible teachers and teach because they have nothing else to offer while the stumble to watch anime without the subtitles. But again perhaps in the future there will be enough natural English speaking Japanese that they wont bother with weaboos anymore.
See calm attempted logic is all I ask for 1342
