“Adult game players have their minds destroyed, they lose their very humanity”. With these words, from the recent petition to ban eroge, and their other initiatives, the Democrats seem to have provoked a storm of protest.
A mountain of such responses as “So shouldn’t AV also be banned?”, “Is there any scientific basis for this?”, “I’m a married woman with children who plays these games” are evident; I’m sure you get the picture, many are very annoyed, and seem more vocal than those advocating the ban (who seem to be limited to DPJ party hacks, strangely enough).
It remains to be seen whether this will truly backfire for the Democrats, although that does seem increasingly possible (not that there was any real chance of success in the first place).

Japan hasn’t changed a bit? It certainly seems some things are a constant presence. See below for the full comparison (H), and here for more ancient manga. Source here.

A man who tried to kill himself by ingesting poison instead poisoned 54 with the noxious fumes emanating from his chlorine laced vomit, causing chaos and evacuation at the hospital where he was taken.
The man, a 34 year old farmer, apparently sought to kill himself by guzzling agricultural chemicals, but this would have unintended consequences when he was instead hospitalised and began to regurgitate the contents of his now thoroughly poisoned stomach. Those afflicted by his toxic ejecta included doctors, nurses, and patients including young babies; 54 reported illness, and 10 required treatment.
Unsurprisingly, the man died from the effects of the poison, the agricultural pesticide (and poison gas in the Great War) chloropicrin. He would doubtless be answering interesting questions posed by police had he survived, so perhaps this is as well. Via Asahi.
Not content with one of their number hysterically proposing adult games be subject to severe censorship, now the Democratic Party of Japan (the main leftist opposition party) has proposed a regime of mandatory inspection and authorisation for sites containing “harmful” information, obligating PC manufacturers and cell phone companies to install filtering software, with harmful sites judged by some sort of NGO. Naturally, this move is to protect children from the evils of the Internet.

The Tokyo government has recently conducted some empirical research into the number of adult hikikomori to be found in the capital, and their findings are some of the first credible statistics regarding the “issue”, as there have been a number of baseless assertions previously. They claim over 25,000 adult hikikomori in the capital, and they seem to think this worthy of action. Details follow.

“The way the store dealt with me really annoyed me”. So annoyed was she, she felt she had no recourse but to burn down the offending store.

The Japanese Diet is set to hear a petition for legislation which would effectively ban the vast majority of eroge and adult anime (and probably, by extension, adult manga, though this is not stated), as the petitioning party is particularly het up about portrayals of minority age females.

“They were for me to enjoy myself with”, he laments. A high school teacher has just been arrested on suspicion of violating laws against child prostitution and pornography; his crime? He attempted to arrange some pants and photos thereof from a high schooler, on a pants trading site, a common enough pastime amongst Japanese teachers, it would appear.

I may not have progressed to the level where I can shamelessly take photographs of Japanese schoolgirls (or rather, my camera doesn’t have that kind of zoom functionality), as seems to be the wont of Japanese and diverse non-Japanese alike when alighting upon these shores, but I can at least collect a rich bounty from the Vipper haunts; I present 36 views of Japanese schoolgirls, wearing tights.

43 proprietors and employees of 42 shops selling “obscene” DVDs in Shinjuku’s Kabukichou red light district have been arrested for peddling smut, Asahi reports. Police claim the arrests are unprecedented in number.
The heinous crimes they allegedly committed were for 12 of their number to sell 141 “obscene” adult DVDs worth ¥102,000 ($1,000), and for the rest to display with intent to sell AV DVDs and magazines inside their shops, which each had monthly earnings of some ¥5,000,000; small fry indeed. How bold these criminals have become to sell adult materials inside their adult shops in the middle of the red light district. Police also helped themselves to all the porn in sight, grabbing 93,000 adult articles, they say. Enough to keep the police busy for a while it seems.
The article, and police, are silent on just in what manner these DVDs were “obscene”, my guess would be they fell afoul of local government or had mosaic issues, as the numbers seem rather large for age issues, but it is at any rate clear that Japan’s ludicrous censorship regime has claimed yet more victims, not that many tears will be shed for a mob of Yakuza pawns.
A man who serially groped young ladies with the unusual pretext “there’s a bug on your clothes”, has finally been arrested, putting his bizarre string of crimes to an end. His reason for this serial infamy, spanning ten or more cases? “My aim was obscenity” he honestly reports. These sordid acts came to be known as the “Bug Man Incidents”.

“I wanted to see want my sister would do when I put the fake note in her room” – with this sentiment in mind, the 27 year old salaryman first copied a ¥10,000 note ($100) with a multifunction printer, then placed the fake note in her room. A few days later, his sister (22) made a ¥1,000 purchase of sandwiches and the like at the local convenience store, using the fake bill. The pair were soon arrested.
