I'm a recent Japanese immigrant to Canada. In North America, is it illegal to enjoy pornographic products involving charcters whose physical features are deemed as that of an underage person by the Western standards? I'm scared of all these news about people getting sentenced to jail because of this issue.

I'm not a pedophile, but as shown in the picture, many Japanese H-Manga & Anime & Eroge includes high school or middle school girls, and as you already know, the physical appearance of a typical Western girl looks several years older than that of a usual Japanese Anime character, or even that of a real person. So, by having virtual sex with virtual teenage girls whose bodies are shorter and smaller than that of a real-world white teenage girl, is it considered pedophilia?

Assuming this is a serious question....

In Canada, yes, it is seen the exact same as real child pornography. In the US, it's still not quite seen as CP, but you can get charged under obscenity laws if you transport it across states.

You people are idiots.

"Section 163.1 of the Canadian Criminal Code defines child pornography as "a visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means", that "shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity", or "the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years." The definitive Supreme Court of Canada decision, R. v. Sharpe, interprets the statute to include purely fictional material even when no real children were involved in its production."

It may be illegal, but guess what, you're not going to have the RCMP or CSIS kick down your door for some Ichigo Mashimaro doujins.

I don't know if it's illegal, but unless you order loli doujins or something you'll be fine. It's not like they'll randomly barge into your house to check your computer for loli porn.

That's not what the OP asked though, was it? He merely asked the legal status of such content in Canada. If he is caught with it, he will be prosecuted just as if he had actual child pornography.

>> No.4981137

In Canada, sexual depictions of minors real or imaginary are technically illegal unless a court accepts artistic, educational or other valid justifications. The government does have a list of banned works that includes some anime/manga, but for the most part it only seems to include the more extreme stuff. If you're actually planning to import physical products into Canada, know that there's a good chance it'll be searched by Customs at the border, but I've never heard of them turning away anything that you might consider "mainstream" at least as far as ero-games go.

So long story short, if you don't think you could go to court to seriously argue a work's artistic merit, you might think twice. But I don't think there's so prudish (nor do they have the time) to start arresting people because a fictional character arguably looked 17 and not 18. In the strictest sense, though, it is illegal.

Use this on any storage device with material you are concerned about.It will encrypt the storage device so even FBI cannot access it (assuming you have a strong password).

Also,use peerblock if you download games from torrents.

Because when confronted with the evidence (as they were in this case by his employer), the police have to file charges. He plead guilty and got the minimal penalty under the law.

It is considered pedophilia by laws in Canada but it is not very enforced so as long as you don't import, buy things (way to support the industry) or talk about your hobbies you should be fine.
