I can't believe people are actually celebrating censorship and the punishment of THOUGHTCRIMES.

Call me when we actually enter real thoughtcrime territory. Edit: Calling it censorship is fair.

Is this the thing that's going to usher in that glorious MILF future?

Obviously photographs were illegal before.

Currently, possessing child pornography is not illegal in Japan so long as the owner is not selling, distributing, or creating the images.

Implies that it wasn't

 

[chickdigger802]

wonder what will happen to 2ch.

 

[BocoDragon]

I'd argue it normalises aberrant behaviour.

Just like violent video games?

 

[injurai]

Can you provide any examples of good anime ruined by loli?

Also how in the fuck does "moe" relate to this at all? A cutesy artstyle is not banned by this law.

I realize, I got OT...

anyways another concern of this is teenage sexting. Hopefully they work hard to not convict typically teens as sex offenders like people like to do here in the states.

 

[docbon]

what.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

What's with all the moe/loli comments? Most of that stuff wouldn't even count unless it was explicit.

I'd count this as something explicit even if it shows no nudity.

Sick.

 

[Risette]

Sick.

this isn't explicit though

 

[victreeb3l]

i had no idea possessing CP was legal in japan. wtf

About fucking time Japan.

Remember this thread?

god what a shitty fucking anime that was

 

[Polari]

Just like violent video games?

Sexual deviancy is completely different from a psychological perspective, so to even draw a comparison is daft.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

I'd argue it normalises aberrant behaviour. Also I think the onus is on p̶e̶d̶o̶s̶ people to prove it's not harmful rather than on society to prove it is.

If you use the same arguments for things like violent imagery though...

Or what about rule 34 imagery?
Say a Dragon and a Donkey have sex...

 

[Mengetsu]

Please let this pass. Loli's have had it's time. It's time to go back to anime/manga with art an style like this more often.

 

[Dresden]

I'd count this as something explicit even if it shows no nudity.

I wish I could live in a bubble like that.

I'd start by banning Lena Dunham off tv.

 

[Immaculate]

About fucking time Japan.

Remember this thread?

Kinda wish I didn't click that :s

 

[CornBurrito]

Please let this pass. Loli's have had it's time. It's time to go back to anime/manga with art an style like this more often.

The main female character has a face that could easily be seen as "moe" with her big forehead and big eyes.

 

[BocoDragon]

Not according to - y'know - the text in the OP of this very thread.

Implies that it wasn't

Ah. Possesion wasn't illegal. It was illegal to make or distribute it, though.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

this isn't explicit though

It leaves little to the imagination though. It's very clear as to what it implies.

 

[Angelus Errare]

MLP sales are going to explode in Japan.

 

[MCD]

Please let this pass. Loli's have had it's time. It's time to go back to anime/manga with art an style like this more often.

The world always need more detective/crime anyone animu for sure.

 

[Risette]

k but actual explicit things of this nature exist and this isn't it

 

[CornBurrito]

The world always need more detective/crime anyone animu for sure.

Psycho Pass wasn't even that decent of a show.

 

[Kusagari]

Please let this pass. Loli's have had it's time. It's time to go back to anime/manga with art an style like this more often.

Seriously?

Psycho Pass is the best you could come up with?

 

[web01]

I think its pretty dangerous to be able to to prosecute people for drawings.
Lines on paper shouldn't be illegal. Even if I do not agree with what the depict.

Regardless this wont change things someone will find a technical work around as suggested or it will just push it more underground.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Just because it doesn't show things as clearly doesn't mean it isn't as sick. It's implies just the same.

 

[Haly]

I'd count this as something explicit even if it shows no nudity.

I want you to go back and look up these two words.

Just because it doesn't show things as clearly doesn't mean it isn't as sick. It's implies just the same.

Oh you have no idea just how "sick" it can really get. This one scene from a shitty anime is a non-issue compared to some of the other stuff out there.

 

[hym]

How about you stop jacking off to 10 year old anime girls and roll back that hyperbole a bit?

Unless of course you are being sarcastic. I honestly cannot tell anymore.

What? I'm completely oblivious about anime outside Studio Ghibli, Studio 4°C, and the work of late Satoshi Kon. I couldn't care less about cartoon porn personally.

But I'm going to assume a law like this makes all the already produced material retroactively illegal, so when law enforcement runs into it they will have to destroy it right? Just like counterfeit products.

So while in practice it probably ends up going to a recycling plant, calling it book burning seemed fitting.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Ah. Possesion wasn't illegal. It was illegal to make or distribute it, though.

It's kinda odd though, I mean you can't download cocaine but, someone could easily send you cp with a text or on a random chat site that supports images and now that the image is in your cache you go to jail and are a sex offender.

 

[Risette]

Just because it doesn't show things as clearly doesn't mean it isn't as sick. It's implies just the same.

that isn't what explicit means

 

[CornBurrito]

If I draw disembodied penises in a school notebook should that be illegal? There is no way to validate the ages of the penises in question.

 

[Ferrio]

New trend: loli art of girls blushing and covering themselves with a photo ID.

And from the sounds of it that'd be perfectly legal.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I feel dirty after watching that gif. The progressive in me wants to defend it on principle, but honestly I really can't.

 

[Tomat]

Please let this pass. Loli's have had it's time. It's time to go back to anime/manga with art an style like this more often.

Off-topic: Isn't this the same show where the creators apologized on Twitter for how bad one of their episodes looked?

 

[CornBurrito]

Yes.

 

[wonzo]

Great. I hope all that loli crap disappears.

just like your dogs?

 

[Narag]

Off-topic: Isn't this the same show where the creators apologized on Twitter for how bad one of their episodes looked?

Yes. Episode 18 wasn't finished.

 

[BocoDragon]

Sexual deviancy is completely different from a psychological perspective, so to even draw a comparison is daft.

I have personally read the psychological journals which indicate that violent videogames lead to increased aggression and desensitization to violence. Those who want to ban violent games have just as much of a leg to stand on.

 

[Deadbeat]

You're not sure, so you're going to sling personal insults around? Why do that?

Comparing book burning to the loss of 10 year old girls drawn in sexually suggestive/explicit ways led me to being a little abrupt.

 

[Mengetsu]

Seriously?

Psycho Pass is the best you could come up with?

I'm sure there is better out there but, this is nice animation to me. I didn't say the story was the best or anything this is just discussion on the looks of it.

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Sick.

it's hilarious to me.
why you wonder?
Cause it isn't real, just like how tv shows and movies aren't real.

 

[CornBurrito]

just like your dogs?

Woah dude, not cool.

I agree. This falls under the category of 'victimless crime' so banning them is wrong in my opinion.

 

[jgminto]

[chickdigger802]

wonzooooo

 

[SDBurton]

Goddaaaaaaamn!

 

[Ferrio]

Japan will find a way.

[Frankenstrat]

Is this the thing that's going to usher in that glorious MILF future?

Man, I hope so.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

does that mean we will get more STATE OF THE ART JAPANESE ANIMATION?

 

[AlimNassor]

I'm against lolis, but, this bill would go as far to ban anyone who appears to be younger then 18 and that's even if they're not sexualized.

 

[Kusagari]

Cute stay at home moms doing cute things.
