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.

Not again... I already thought they were finally killed by some otaku taliban but then I read this.
Someone should really send them a ton of yaoi dojins and vibrators so that theyll shut up already.
True Equality is shotacons and lolicons living together in peace and harmony.
Then we'll form 真EqualityNow as their antithesis/arch-enemy.
i think they should take a leaf out of Karmapa Lama mentioned a few articles back,
"Well, I view hentai games as something of an emotional therapy, a mundane level of emotional therapy for me. We all have emotions whether we’re Buddhist practitioners or not, all of us have emotions, happy emotions, sad emotions, displeased emotions and we need to figure out a way to deal with them when they arise.
So, for me sometimes it can be a relief, a kind of decompression to just play some hentai games. If I’m having some negative thoughts or negative feelings, hentai games are one way in which I can release that energy in the context of the illusion of the game. I feel better afterwards.
The perversion that comes out in the video game satiates whatever desire I might have to express that feeling. For me, that’s very skilful because when I do that I don’t have to go and hit feminists over the head or reap real roris.
But shouldn’t meditation take care of that?
No, hentai games are just a skilful method."

And that's why we are led to believe that (in)EqualityNow is uncapable of understanding the significance of different cultures, and why there is no such thing as a single solution to end all problems.
tl;dr: In this case, America is doing it wrong.
Let teh Rage Bombing begins!!
^Drops Rage Bombs
Rage Bombs PowerUp+2
It's unfair to call Equality Now an American institution these days, as the majority of this is coming from their UK research office, which coordinates international efforts. It's somewhat ironic that eroge is in fact legal in the US so long as it doesn't represent obviously graphic depictions of underage sex, anyone actually alive, and remains properly labeled and kept out of the hands of minors, which would actually have been amusing had they just been leaping from the US. Unfortunately other countries are not as litigiously argumentative over every perceived right. ;p
I think the issue here is more that Japan didn't defend themselves, and thus appear an easy target. Equality Now cherishes results, especially wins, and if you show them your belly they will gut you open and suck down your intestines like spaghetti so they can wave your skin as a flag on their next campaign.
so..instead of banning japanese hentai games, how about you start making women-rape-men/boys games now? I will be sure to try it out.
oh wait, what do you mean you cant?
thats equality in your face biatch!
Wait, why can't they? Is it just the lack of programming ability? I'd play it!
I bet they could afford some rather decent artists/programmers...
death to porn.
porn to death
funny how Equality Never always makes people throw so many comments. I'd love one of their members to stumble across this site.
p.s. respawn with porn in 9
there wont be true equality until these pictures are fully allowed
Are they idiots? Have they not noticed the contributions prostitution have contributed to society since civilization?
Maybe they will only wake up to the fact that men are now deprived of "Visual" content that they actually went onto the actual stuff.
UN funds should be spent on more productive stuff like doing something to that idiot in N.Korea or treating the displaced/unfortunate in the Middle East.
I say we just rape them, teach them a little lesson about not being in the fucking kitchen making our sandwiches.
‘funny how Equality Never always makes people throw so many comments’ - Well yes, it's one of those groups that, in order to fix something they consider a problem, wants to end civil society. No wonder that pulls people's strings. They don't stand a chance though; you can't throw half the population in jail.
>UK
Oshi- ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. NOW EVERYTHING IS FALLING IN PLACE FOR ME.
UK Women are some of the worst that I have known. Nitpicking and unprofessional even when on a legitimate job... uhg.
I'm sure that AMERICA has their share, but I would rather stay lonely and free (bound only by my own way).
That only happens in the American East Coast ,Europe,and the UK.
>>I think the issue here is more that Japan didn't defend themselves, and thus appear an easy target.
Do you think the country what was prohibited from USA to have a army able to defend thenselves, in any questions?
They can do nothing to defend thenselves.
I think Equality Now should just promote Feminism awareness in Japan and let the Japanese women decide what's best for Japanese women
send them a bottle of aids and a fucking bomb strapped onto it is more like it.
Send them Peanut butter AYDS
(AWA-Anime Hell 09 joke)
I miss going to AWA. ;_;
I love you.
Someone should just send then a ton of yaoi doujin and vibrators so they shut up already
^QFT!!
Goddam fucking kill all those bitches!
it'll be like JFK #2 <.< xD
probably what all the politicians are afraid of.
either that or they like the games too =D
Yes! Common, Schrob. I bet we could do it. Lets recruit maga, too^_^
Out of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_Now
"Equality Now is a non-governmental organization whose stated purpose is to protect the human rights of women around the world. The group provides an international framework for spreading awareness of issues and providing support to local grassroots groups working to address issues of concern to it."
Where the fuck is banning hentai in their objectives? UN must be getting flexible, EN are just trying to bite more than they can swallow. Equality my ass... Women started to get equality more than a decade ago. UN, can't you see this organization is just an expense.
For the women in Equality Now:
Spend more time with your family (pets count as family as well, as most of you are 40 year-old virgins)
For the men in Equality Now:
YOU ARE GAY!! Try having some Testosterone pumped into your Endocrine Glands.
Sincerely, Endeavor
If you want to overpower them, I would suggest getting everyone you can to link to Yes To Freedom and get them on the first page of google for searches for freedom and get them above Equality now n searches for equality. Afterall, Equality now is on the first page for a search for equality right now. I'd love to see Yes to Freedom right above them on that list.
I think everyone should be aware of this petition that has started a couple of months ago, more signatures are needed from everyone here, otherwise this is just pointless quibbling without any reaction by the people here:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/eroge/index.html
If you have time, sign here now.
I signed this and think everyone here who is fed up with reading about these bitches sign this too, last I checked it had 118 signatures.
That's barely even a nudge. Would be better if Artefact included the link in the article or an entirely separate article for the petition. That way it's not lost in the middle of the blog conversations.
Yes it's best to ignore these old crones.
They go attacking hentai yet do nothing for women who are considered property in the middle-east or baby girls who are killed in China.
People like this are the worst kind of hypocrite.
You want me to kill them?
Thanks for the idea, now I want to start an otaku nullification association set to destroy this bullshit...
O.N.A.
... Get it? O.N.A. Cup? LOL! But seriously this is bullshit...
rofl.... like hentai would ever be banned
Based on how the stone-less otaku of japan reacted last time, I'd say it's fairly possible.
Yep, but there will sure be war inside japan starting.
i dont think its gonna be war. im sure there will a 200 percent increase of rape victims and molestation.
I mean if more in the way of a huge battle cry at the moment the ban is done and everybody starting to rage over the goverment.
a 200% increase of rape in Japan would only put them at about 10% of what the US outputs. 2000% and you've got the ball rolling, I'd suppose.
Here's a thought:
-Maybe- Equality Now WANTS more rape in the countries they tackle? I mean, if they want to ban eroge and all hentai, and this could well lead to an increase of actual rape or molestation cases, maybe they're trying to make rape more equal, more like the US or Africa? Just a thought.
Let's try and quantify this forumlaically:
(County A - Hentai/eroge) + sexual frustration = Moar raep.
(I tried to keep it as simple as possible)
im not good at math but miroku seems legit
Someone should write to feminists if they get hentai banned we'll go back to 3D women and severely rape them with our 9001 penises.
I AM SORRY BUT OUR ORGANIZATION HAS ROOM FOR ONLY OVER 9000 PENISES. THAT EXCLUDES YOURS.
But we need all the penis to fight this.
...wait.
You can get hundreds of millions of penis from China alone
teh chinese would like that
We would, but the common enemy comes first.
That's what they want you to do.
lol that'll be the day xD
