Proponents of Tokyo’s failed ban on loli manga are to resubmit their proposal as a law with even broader scope than before, targeting depictions of any “illegal” sexual activity in a legal assault which could have a devastating impact on Japan’s creative industries

The previous ban, which failed to pass, took the form of a Tokyo metropolitan ordinance restricting sales of anime, manga and games which contain erotic depictions “reminiscent of a person under the age of 18″ or which “might be feared to obstruct the healthy development of youths.”

The revised law now demands a restriction on sales of anime, manga or games which “improperly glorify or emphasise” illegal sexual acts, such as rape, groping, BDSM, voyeurism, exhibitionism, etc., by extension including underage sexual activity as well.

Dropping the mention of “fictional youths” is apparently a tactical move intended make the law appear to be taking into account objections to the previous law and “limiting its scope,” but the new wording is even more ambiguous and sweeping than before.

In particular, the revision of the wording to cover “illegal” acts only conveniently allows the law to target a much wider array of material than previously, ranging from sexual harassment to the underage sexual activity the law’s proponents were so excited over previously.

As usual, the law targets only anime, manga and games, completely ignoring films and novels (it should be noted Tokyo’s governor Ishihara, a key proponent of the ban, has written a number of novels featuring scenes of graphic rape).

The law would thus classify a manga depiction of the Japanese literary classic “The Tale of Genji” (which features a young girl being kidnapped and reared as a sex slave, ultimately being raped) as obscene literature, whilst leaving an identical version of the same story conveyed in its original novel format or as a film alone completely.

Just as previously, a law affecting Tokyo would have similar effects to a nationwide law as the majority of Japan’s anime, manga and game industry is concentrated in Tokyo and would have to comply with it.

Proponents of the law have apparently resolved to keep resubmitting the same legislation over and over (this is now their third attempt) until it somehow slips through, necessitating ongoing vigilance from those who support freedom of expression.

You know, in Dante's Inferno, the Second Level of Hell is the level where people who masturbates and basically, fuck around (literally) goes to.
They are molested, by a freaking cyclone, CONSTANTLY.

Wait, so Tokyo failed to get make loli porn illegal, and somehow they think they have a shot at making hentai-porn in general...illegal?

It's like switching to a smaller gun to shoot a bigger target. The fuck are these people smoking and why must they interfere with my porn?

Actually, a bigger target makes it easier.

GL Tokyo. 'Nuff sed.

Well, a smaller gun to hit a more well-armored target?...

>>7
First of all, modification of the target, other than it's size, has not been mentioned.
Second of all, smaller guns does not mean lesser penetration. For example, though an IMI Desert Eagle (sidearm) is smaller than a Heckler & Koch MP5 (SMG), it has the calibre (.50) equivalent to the CHEYTAC Intervention (Sniper Rifle)*.
Lastly, and most importantly, penetration of the target is not mentioned, merely hitting it is a job well done.

*Note: I'm not really sure how that caliber thing works.
I think it means the width of the bullet, since the length of the CHEYTAC
bullet is almost the length of the Desert Eagle.

Man, this metaphor thing is advancing very seriously. o_O

Well, if this is the idea, I think the idea of "bigger target" was about how they were trying to affect a large portion of the industry. In other words, how they were going to have more people and companies against them. :x

Someone post new news, I feel uncomfortable being greeted by this questionable image every time I enter the board.

It keeps getting bumped nonsensically.

Twice now it has happened.

There is no way in hell they'll be able to make hentai illegal. Unless, of course, deep pockets come into play.

And they most certainly will.
