Minori Changes Tune: “Foreign Users are Criminals”

ef-a-tale-of-memories-oshiri.jpg

Barbarian excluding eroge maker Minori is seemingly not content with excluding non-Japanese visitors from its site in retaliation for being forced into extremes of censorship by its own puritanical ratings body; the risible message on their site claims to be “defending our culture”, but in comments to prying Japanese media their CEO provides another excuse entirely, claiming they are protecting foreigners from making criminals of themselves by visiting their site.

    If their site has region specific advertisements... it completely makes sense to block out foreigners. Why have unwanted traffic + more server load fees when all of their revenue comes from Japan specific advertisement?... More

Eroge Industry to Foreigners: “Play Your Own Games!”

yuzu-soft-natsuzora-kanata-onsen.jpg

The ill founded notion that by excluding foreign fans the Japanese eroge industry can somehow cut itself off from the world, and that in doing this their own industry and politicians will be somehow be discouraged from banning their works seems to be spreading; now we hear that two additional sites have joined eroge developer Minori in token displays of xenophobia.

    Reading this now in 2014, it's funny how the eroge world is now almost more popular outside of Japan than in Japan itself. The "filthy thieves" are now keeping the industry alive.... More

Eroge Maker Minori: “Dirty Foreigners Get Off Our Site!”

ef-a-fairytale-of-the-two.jpg

Visual novel production company Minori, noted for producing hits such as Ef, Wind and Eden, has responded to the reprehensible decision by Japanese politicians and eroge publishers to ban “rape” eroge by issuing an indiscriminate and nonsensical ban of its own: they have banned all non-Japanese IPs from viewing their site.

Japanese Otaku Lambasts Foreign Failplay

cosplay_fail_international_03.jpg

Cosplay is one element of Japan’s otaku culture that has spread precipitously through most corners of the world, with most anime related conventions in the last 15 years or so sporting flocks of cosplaying attendees, many of which have near perfected the art, although countless photos of cosplay fail are still in abundance.

If you have ever wondered what some native Japanese otaku make of those photos, here we have some pictures of less than successful cosplay attempts, along with “expert” commentary by a Japanese blogger:

“Votes for Foreigners” Whips Up Storm of Xenophobia

yukio-hatoyama.jpg

A Democratic Party of Japan politician, Yukio Hatoyama, has created a storm of xenophobia after he suggested in a live NicoNico Douga broadcast that permanently resident foreigners should have the right to vote in local elections.

Opponents (including, it seems, the entirety of 2ch and Nico) immediately pounced on this as evidence of high treason and an unhealthy sympathy for the non-Japanese wretches who are apparently the source of so many evils in Japan.

“Monster Foreigners on the Rampage!”

spa-monga-madness-1.jpg

Japanese magazine SPA! has recently published an article regarding the threat of foreigners in Japan.

Coining a new term, the piece rails against “monster gaikokujin” (doubtless hoping to catch an echo of the furore over “monster parents“), and goes on to refer them in amusingly abbreviated form as “monga”.
