Shonen Jump Blasts Loli Ban: “Don’t Kill Manga!”

Try as they might, these might only fall onto blind eyes and deaf ears.

Or should I saw, the politicians taking advantage from implementation of that law do understand what Jump is saying, but they're not gonna give a fuck even if it is for public interest, because it's not within THEIR OWN. It's a futile battle that will end with either Jump getting a search warrant or made to compromise some other way, with blackmails of course.

It's not like in the United States where gun owners actively play their part in politics and has an entire organization dedicated to it to make sure that their hobbies and rights are protected. If the younger Japs can't be assed to even go out and vote against the politicians they don't like, you can't expect them to grow balls and fight this legislation even if their fucking lives depend on it. Within their own society, bending their ass over and letting the upper social castes fuck them until they cum blood is a whole lot better.

They are killing an industry that supported their economy for decades. Politician noobs has no idea how to run a country

Considering japan has so many good different kind of artists, it's weird to see politicians go after them.

fuck the regulation.. i don't need any regulation and rule.. no more restriction!!!

For free speech and alternative views

Way to go Japan!

You don't want to be like the retarded British, do you?

The saying, "Guns don't kill, only people do." Perhaps the applies metaphorically here, too.

> Freedom of expression
Wait, is that codified in Japanese law? Because I recall it is not.

although I totally agree with this, I have to say that the superiour sexual imagination of the Japanese people stems from censorship. Without the restrictions imposed on the depiction of genitalia nd pubic hair, we would´nt have stuff like Loli, Bukkake or tentacles, or the focus on aesthetics and story present in Japanese porn.
By contrast, the relative freedom in American porn has lead to the stifling of creativity.
The Japanese, because of censorship, had to work hard to make something sexy and couldn´t simply rely on primitive animal instinct.
That being said, I´m glad that Jump has stepped up to defend this part of Japanese culture from moronic conservatives and fanatics.

I LIKE LOLIS BECAUSE I WAS BORN A LOLICON. if loli manga didn't exist, raepd lolis would be a thosand times more prominent

Expect Shonen Jump to lose quite a bit in revenue, because when parents catch wind, I'm betting most issues to be ignored like the plague...

Still rooting for these guys, though.

It's about time someone had the guts to protest in Japan, I really thought all the otaku and general anime/manga fans were just gonna take it all lying down. Still a long way from signs and chants in the street as they should be doing, though. I'm not a loli fan, but I believe that the implications of the ban would effect us all.

Maybe they're doing it because it makes possible to rape an Corporate personhood... I know it's impossible but maybe they don't think like this.

Usually who propose stupid laws like that are people who cannot distinguish between imaginary things and reality (people who believe in the existence of imaginary friends, religious ones).
I know I'm not enough mature or maybe too immature in many aspects of myself, but at least I'm fully mature in the capacity of distinguishing the reality from the fantasy (at least more than the 85% of the world population).
A drawing of a loli is not a picture of a real children, simple as that.

well said

So if the laws passed now, someone with a picture of their family on holiday at the beach could be sent to jail? That's pretty messed up.

Saying lolicons aren't pedophiles is like saying that loving yaoi isn't gay.
