    I'm just going to do this at a comfortable pace.

    I oppose the criminalization of possession of child pornography in Japan primarily because the current legal definition is extremely vague and ripe for abuse.

    Indeed. No law should exist that is vague.
    Though I wasn't aware the definition was already vague.

    Current Japanese law defines child pornography as:
    i. Any pose of a child engaged in sexual intercourse or any conduct similar to sexual intercourse;

    I suppose "similar to sexual intercourse is pretty vague".
    They need to take that part out at least, or change it to be more specific.

    iii. Any pose of a child wholly or partially naked, which arouses or stimulates the viewer's sexual desire.[1]

    The problem with banning nudity, is that I believe a major part of the point of banning child pornography, is that the pornography hurts the child.
    Someone looking at naked pics of children may be a pedo, but it's not hurting the child in any way if an adult sexually looks at naked pictures of them.

    chie said:
    By this definition, any photograph or film of anyone under the age of 18 who is naked or partially naked can be considered criminal regardless of the context of the subject matter.

    Ah yes, this is problematic.
    Because the purpose of the laws is supposed to be to protect children, not legal consider the body of a child gross and obscene.
