Yeah, it uses a different reading of 娘 to make a play on the typical 男の子. (Unless your question was referencing something different.)
InfiniteNine said:
Well, there's this, and if I remember correctly a specifically "boys dressed as girls" cosplay mag that started up in Japan in the middle of last year. I almost want to say that there's yet another publication of some sort (either lifestyle mag or manga mag), but at the moment I'm not certain.

The 'H' stands for hentai.

Yeah, it sucks that it got passed.
The anime market is barely hanging on by pandering to a small market, what will they do now if they are limited in how they can pander to this small market (and getting smaller each year).

Well if it's infants that makes us all toddler-cons. *cringe*Lain said:

don't think any kind of fictional workaround will fix teh gay and crossdressing, unless their all aliens then it would be speciesist to discriminate their mating rituals.

It's not gay if they look mostly female!anotheriori said:

Tokyo ban -- Yeah, that's awful. Definitely a violation of any reasonable freedom of speech, but I don't know if they have that in Japan... I just hope the growing protests force them to back down on it eventually.
I know those animes of course, and the mangas based on those animes, but not most of those mangas... I'll have to look them up.

Thanks, I hope you like some of them.

I don't watch that, but even so, I wouldn't be for a ban on it even if it was the shittiest anime ever made. If someone out there likes it, who am I to say they shouldn't have the ability to watch it. I'm still free to ignore it just as much as they are free to watch it.
That said, after the last posts in the thread about it, I think I should definitely check it out (whenever I'll find time, I still have Utena to start!). After all, I like incest, and twincest is wincest.

Sorry was still in BAN THIS SICK FILFTH mode from when I watched episode 11 yesterday, a right out ban would be too harsh given the other stuff out there.
I'll accept there are people who enjoy that type of thing, but the only thing stopping it from being a right out hentai was the camera angle not pointing at specific parts by mere millimetres, that's some messed up form of censorship.

Got EofE in the post 2 weeks ago, I still haven't watched it due to University assignments and I doubt I will watch it during the holiday season.
next year sometime. Hopefully it lives up to GAF status of platinum when it comes to reccomendations.
oh crap, its too big, I'll just make it thumbnailed, don't know how to crop it!

U crazy....
tries to look up that book.....
Anyways... fuck the ban. I can't believe all this. Seriously where is the evidence? Somebody show me some data that viewing depictions of "illegal activity" actually fosters or increases said activity. It doesn't. Typically, it will even have an opposite effect. Show me the data that minors viewing this material encourages them to do so. Why the fuck does it seem like this bill was shoved through by moral(tards?), with no evidence to back their reasoning... blah, blah blah, traditionalists appealing to traditionalists.
Lol, so World War III will start by Japan launching a surprise attack on my little apartment in Amarillo Texas? Bring it. Bring it Japan. Because I will buy all the novels and translate them myself, that's right, I can actually learn how to do things myself, then I'll set up underground websites and pump it right back to Japan! And after their attempt to take my life in what's sure to be a spectacular display of power I'll swim across the Pacific and infiltrate Japan MIA Chuck Norris style and bring the author back to America with me and pump out more and more books. That's right, I know it was supposed to end already but pretty sure the author'll do more when confronted with my hardcore resolve and the opportunity to do legit social commentary in a fantasy medieval setting!Jexhius said:
I'm a disturbing person, what can I say? Truthfully, I think there's a hell of a lot of crap in anime and manga, probably novels too. If someone wanted my true honest to goodness position on the law I'd be against it, which is what I meant by being legally opposed to it but I'm not Japanese so my opinion is moot on the matter, I expect my opinion to count for their laws about as much as I take their opinion regarding one of my laws. But anyways, on that front I do not support the law, no matter my ignorance on the law because I don't like censorship. In my fantasy world however, there wouldn't be all this smut.Jexhius said:
But to step back a bit and say why I'm secretly pleased with the law, the only reason some of this manga and anime is popular is because there is no western equivalent. People, including myself, clearly survived and lived just fine before gender bending, incest or rape manga and anime was produced and will continue to live if it ceased. Japan is currently serving as the smut producer of the world in that regard and it's kind of amusing, you get such fancy meme statements like "oh Japan," or "never change Japan," lol, it's hilarious. Would I personally be saddened if that went away? Not really. Would I personally be saddened if 97% of manga and anime disappeared? Probably not. Humanity is an odd thing because lets approach it from the position that even things like Spice and Wolf would be banned. Ok, I'll bite, so what? It's one thing to give me Spice and Wolf and then take it away, that kind of sucks, but had I never seen or read it, then what? Would I care then? So the direct aftermath of course sucks but that's it, after that it's not so bad.
But again, there's a difference between what I personally think and what I think legally should happen. If there's a market for things I disagree with and people want to make it, well I don't see why that should be prohibited legally.
