Today I found out that there's this group in Japan that's trying to get anime, manga and games to fall under the child pornography law; making it illegal to own DVDs, doujinshi, pics on mobile devices and PCs. Chances are this isn't going to pass, the main reason being that they've been trying to do this since '08 and only have 222 signatures. :/
Here's my problem with it. How are they planning on enforcing this? Are they going to raid every person's house in Japan and arrest them if they find anything? And what makes it CHILD pornography? Is it that the characters are under 18? And if that's the case, ALOT of people will be going to prison! Take H-Games for example, about 80% of them take place in a high school, so it is highly unlikely that you will find any characters over 18. And if that's wrong, is it okay for the character to LOOK young but actually be over 18? And not to mention that anime/manga/games are FAKE and are not real! All the characters are FICTIONAL and NOT based on anything/one that/who is REAL! In fact all of the characters are voiced by adults! Now, I'm not trying to defend pedos or anything like that, but I DO firmly believe in freedom of expression and freedom of choice. If you like anime/manga/games like that, then fine.
Currently Japan has a law that says minors (under age 18) are not allowed to buy or view ANYTHING of sexual content. So if this law is to protect children, then it is a waste. I honestly think that this law is a joke! If they don't like it, then they don't have to look at it! It's all FAKE and all the characters are FICTIONAL, get over yourselves!
