Japan’s cabinet and Prime Minister have been told they should ban “depictions of sexual violence” by the government’s Gender Equality Bureau, a cabinet level office.
From the minutes of the Gender Equality Bureau’s Gender Equality Planning Committee comes a complaint by minor author Kanna Kouzu, a member:
[This follows her complaining that police statistics show a long-term decrease in crimes involving sexual violence – she insists any decrease is because fewer women are reporting crimes to police, though without offering any evidence]
Lastly, there have been media reports about portrayals of sexual violence in advertising, manga, magazines and the like, and even on the Internet.
As a result, Japan has been receiving severe international criticism and this is a major international issue. There are extreme virtual depictions in PC games and similar, and internationally this is really a source of major criticism.
I think there’s such a thing as freedom of expression, but along with the child porn issue I’d like to see the government as a whole institute comprehensive countermeasures.
You really should consider this matter as it affects our position in the international community.
The “international criticism” to which the member refers?
No nation has protested to Japan about its “hentai” industry – in fact the only significant incidences of this so-called “international criticism” have been centred on a feminist group proven to be liars, a UN feminist body closely associated with that group, and a brief CNN muck-raking campaign run by an adulteress inexplicably keen on lecturing others on proper morality.
Japan has genuinely been receiving severe and sustained international criticism over its support for whaling from governments, media and pressure groups alike (all of which it has completely ignored), and yet no members have bothered to push for a ban on whaling.
It seems rather clear by now that pressure for a ban has nothing to do with international criticism and everything to do with the authoritarian tendencies of Japanese politicians intent on strangling the nation’s creative industries out of sheer intolerance and moral hysteria.
i say to all of them fem groups to go to hell and burn there selfs. they r and “USA” has distroyed the old times with there equal gender BULL s♥♥t. i never have or will soport any equle rights BS exsply when it comes to women. because of this we cant injoy r Hentai and women have become way to goddam lazy and lost there place as the women.. buch fem groups someone nees to subment them x3

If Pyramid Head was a Japanese cabinet member, he would skin those hypocrites at the Gender Equality Bureau and r♥♥e their skinless corpses…
I just don’t get it, if non-existent virtual r♥♥e in a videogame is such taboo, how are game focusing solely on murdering any better? In fact, they’re worse. Wtf man.
You’re missing the point. They care more about women being violated in a sexual way than being slayed by countless of ninjas.
As a girl, I can see why they actually came up with something like this but..
well..
Things just wouldn’t be the same if they keep on removing and banning stuff. Those creepy, bizzare stuff are what made Japan well, Japan. And seriously, what is the government thinking. It’s like they’re trying to screw over one of their last economic powerhouse.
Great.
This has just destroyed my good mood today.
f♥♥k you hypocrites. f♥♥k you Equality Now. f♥♥k you feminists.
FUCKA YOU WHALES!! FUCKA YOU DOLPHINS!!
