Tokyo’s Ishihara-led government is proposing yet more onerous censorship of manga and anime, this time on the grounds that they are sexist and violate the human rights of the groups (i.e. women and children) being depicted.
From one of the Tokyo government’s latest policy documents, outlining their plans for enforcing a “gender equality” regime on the people of Tokyo:
[…]
However, much media information is based on sexual stereotypes and frequently depicts sexual violence towards women and children, and this is one of the prime impediments to gender equality.
According to cabinet surveys, 80% of people now think there are problems with depictions of sex and violence on TV and the Internet.
Freedom of expression should be respected, but it is also necessary to adequately respect the human rights of the people being depicted to not be the subject of unpleasant sexual or violent expression in the public media.
Tokyo recently revised its ordinance for the healthy development of youth, and also established Tokyo’s duty to allow the healthy development of young people by restrictions on their Internet environment and the eradication of child pornography.
[…]
Our policy direction:
It is necessary to demand media undertake to voluntarily censor themselves with regard to depictions of sex and violence.
Tokyo must ensure publishers and advertisers do not promote sexual discrimination.
All media must thoroughly uphold moral restrictions [on their publications].
It would appear Tokyo has finally succeeded in combining both right-wing demands for censorship on the grounds of upholding public morals and left-wing demands for censorship on feminist and “human rights” (i.e. those of the people depicted in or exposed to the expression of others) grounds.
Online there is not much surprise – it was long obvious to all but the most deluded apologists that Tokyo’s manga ban was the thin end of the wedge, and that Ishihara and company would simply keep tightening censorship until only rape novels and pornographic videos remain:
“You’re all done for!”
“Is there anything these people don’t want to ban?”
“He can’t get it up any more so all ero is banned, eh?”
“I would think most men in anime are the ones being abused.”
“Do something about him before this spreads over the rest of the country!”
“He’s senile, his policies barely make sense any more.”
“This obsession with equality – yet in practice it always means favouring women.”
“The old farts voted him in. Do something about the people of Tokyo!”
”So this means shonen, shoujo, seinen and ladies comics are all going out of print for promoting sexual discrimination.”

Okay you know what? This is actually getting funny now. This is the best troll ever Ishihara! Let's see how far you can take it before people snap.
And Japanese people, how about you stop being internet tough guys and actually stand up for yourselves?
Lol, history class should be:
Sensei: ...And so kids, only brave japanese to ever stand against tyrant Ishihara was Yamabuki aka to-love-ru's artist. He's the manliest man with steel balls while others watch dicklessly.
"HENTAI = WORLD PEACE"
I am right behind ya buddy
majority of japanese people arent anime/games fanatic.. and seeing as how anime has been demonised by the media, and how creepy some otaku acts... majority of people are going to vote for this douche...
a very real answer
if you were japanese and had a stranger suddenly talk about anime or manga to you when you clearly have no interest in it, is not an uncommon situation
He's nowhere near Trollestia
I think he's starting small, Luna-style.
I think he's working on it small scale at first, Luna style.
See what happens when your people remain dickless?
Are they changing into western puritans?
The condition is actually called being "catholic."
Protestants are the puritans. Catholics have a lot more sexual freedom.
You got to be kidding....Actually all todays people are puritains when it comes to any form of nudity some has the "malaise" of the rigifying penis and some wants to keep their newgiven image as tough and rigidely serious.
At least, Catholic priests do.
So not wearing a condom, and having to give birth every time you conceive is sexual freedom? I think you've got it mixed up.
But what do I care, I'm an Athiest, and as such, do whatever I damn well want.
Am I the only one who notice how the OP pic delicately resembles him having a fun and happy time being banged by the dude behind him...?
Notice he only targets female and child depictions, while leaving out males. He's protecting his precious Yaoi.
Lol so friggin' true.
Seriously speaking though, shouldn't he first start with Yaoi? It's depicting men as weak, girly, and extremely submissive, that and the homosexual themes (I have nothing against homosexuality, however since Ishihara is being a total prick, the situation calls for it), and the fact that some of it is hardcore gay porn, and for WOMEN no less is just disturbingly unpleasant.
Ishihara needs to use some fucking common sense.
I think I agree with you......

Shitara looks like Donald Rumesfield in that picture..
ONLY WAR USA EVER STARTED...
UNPROVOKED...
BOTH ARE PIECES OF SH1T

We are onto you upsidedowngaybuttsex-hara!
SECRET BUTT FUN!
xD SCARY BUT FUN!
Anons 4:57 and 9:15 both deserve this brohoof lol /)(\
well he is certainly an asshole person
Suprise Butt fun
Yes, but only because you have an infantile intellect that thinks anyone that stands behind someone else is having buttsecks. Not everyone like the anus like you, pal.
My hope with this guy was a heart attack or aneurysm..
Parents and schools idem less careful about sex
It is very easy to point the blame to someone and play dead
i does agree in a way curse people to death is bad but
i do wanted to see him find himself with lot of
red card call!!
NO job lose job No money
who pay Ishihara ~.~
So now there will be more vanilla?
Anime and manga is already much more tolerant towards women and kids than the actual Japanese society (I mean, take the example of Madoka's dad Tomohisa which was a house-husband while his wife was a manager.)
The actual sexual discrimination on Japanese media is about 99% of their porn, which is pretty much based on peeing, shitting, cuming on women and publicly humiliating them in sexual ways.
Of course, one might ask then, what made Ishihara change his position so much, considering stories like these was his specialty when he was younger.
I think one of the journalists should man up and ask him just that.
Japanese? Manning up and questioning any authority figure? Please tell me what timeline you come from, because I want to join you there.
>Japanese journalists
Actually the situation is even worse. Japanese journalists get a lot of their news in the form of press releases, provided to them by the press office of the organisations / companies they're writing about. It may seem swell that you often get a lot of inside contacts and such, but write an overly critical article and you're cut off, and all organisations will close their doors to you. And that's the end of your career.
Japanese journalists aren't journalists - they're press release editors and embellishers.
The problem is that unlike their Western colleagues, Japanese journalists see themselfes more as chronologists rather than critics
@anon 06:39 The thing is, whether such question would be regarded as one of chronological or critical nature would depend on the answer to it.
I could be mistaken, but didn't someone ask him that already? His answer was something like, "I was wrong," referring to his younger self...
Such questions require a free thinker. Japanese are like ants they just go with the group they ain't free thinkers.
This helps them build great staff and be very organized but boy do the seem soulless. They are like god damn puppets.
I'm a woman and I say SCREW YOU ISHITHARA (and not in the nice, naughty way)! Stop using us women and kids as an excuse for your vile intolerance and discrimination, you make me sick to the stomach! I'll enjoy my hardcore porn and vanilla goodness in both 2D and 3D, thank you very much!
And my god, the Japanese anime industry needs to grow a pair FAST
He's talking about the innocent non corrupted female.. not the already established otaku who has corrupted DNA... let alone a hairy 800 pd greasy foreign otaku woman.
Innocent non-corrupted women wouldn't touch you with a fucking ten foot pole so stop trying to impress them white knight faggot.
Ugh. Yaku reeks of trying to hard, like one of those girls who tries to earn respect for all the wrong reasons.
you? a girl? HAHHAHAHHAHHA dude stop pretending to be a hot anime girl
@14:39: HAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
You never been with a woman, have you? :D
@11:14: I don't make it a secret, and I never pretend to be a hot anime girl. In fact, I use Mugi as my avatar because I love her :D
So what if yaku is foreign, don't you guys get anime shown on tv? I sure do. Our countries still support their industry, however little it maybe, but nevertheless she can still have a say as a viewer don't you think.
Yes, im a white knight and proud.
@04:39
You can think that if you wish, but I don't see any reason to hide what I am and not express my opinion, even if it's in a place where your word can be and is easily doubted as the internet.
Also, I'm not the one hiding behind the anon name (I'd respect what you say a lot more if you had the guts to do otherwise)
It is just about TV anyways, meand it all could still be sold on DVD and blueray if his bann would EVER have full success.
I will close my eyes very tightly to rapidly visualize a fresh rape novel in my mind!
The following year, the members of Japanese Self-Defense Forces stage a coup in Tokyo and draft up a new Bill or Rights which includes the right to bear arms and Freedom of Speech.
No use asking because he is senile and can't remember.
I wouldn't mind that, after all, it's nice to see something that isn't rape.
It'd probably help if you stop looking at rape stuff.
@16:43
Not really, I think that may be somewhat of a myth. There's plenty out there that's not. Manga, anime, AV, believe me, I look a lot.
It's hard to find something that ISN'T rape.
Vanilla isn't bad. But you get bored from doing the same thing over and over again. S&M and such should not be done all the time, becaouse it will get boring.
On many manga sites "vanilla" refers to consensual sex. Kind of odd that Japan would need to come up with a genre because consent and genuine enjoyment is so rare.
lol
consent/boring(in ishihara's eyes)::vanilla
rape::chocolate ...
so ishihara wants to get raped by a black dood?
IIRC "vanilla" is not a term made by Japanese people.
LOOOOOOOOOL ... SEXIM.. STOP.. IN JAPAN? ROFL..
I know eh? Lately most of the sexist cases I've seen are involving men being treated like sex deviants for talking to girls younger than them.
Banning feminist groups might even be a better solution. I don't see them contributing much to the society. They already got what they wanted, stop asking for more.
What is vanilla?
It's a spice. Don't mix with sugar and everything nice and chemical "X" if giant monster attacks every week are not your thing.
Vanilla: consensual averege sex.
VIRGIN ALERT!!!
"Stop sexism?" they say, so we will get more yaoi now? more traps? sweet.
Not exactly, keep in mind this old fart is a homophobe.
*Him being a closet homo is yet to be confirmed though...
It's just a matter of time for the breaking news of finding him with a hot tanned cabin boy to pop up.
and I'm pretty sure the comment above you are called 'sarcasm'
I like that, but mine was a joke, not a statement, thought it was obvious, people of the internetz... oh dear.
Nope, no yaoi or traps. He's making it seem as though he's favoring women to get their favor, but in the end he aims to piss everyone off.
I have no problem with yaoi or shonen-ai or traps, because I think everyone's fetishes should be fairly represented. I'm not going to bitch whenever I see yaoi because I don't need to prove anything to anyone by doing so, and because I know tons of girls like it.
But Ishihara is also against any gay sex, which he deems as "harmful." So some of the stuff girls like is out the window too.
Anon, wanna hang out? :D
Sarcasm fail? more like your reading is a failure.
sarcasm fail
and in other news pedobear was arrested in Brazil for saleing his ipod to a loli
I think you miss the point of my comment.
