Fearmongering is awesome. Here, read up and stop spouting stupidities for a second.

- This is a Tokyo ordinance bill, so while it is not a national legislation, it will still have a profound impact because all publishers and anime companies are centered in Tokyo.
- This is not a ban, but it penalizes any publisher and producer of material that Tokyo considers to be harmful to minors. Unlike in the US, retails have less responsibility, i.e. if a book they sell is marketed as a general audience by the publisher, but Tokyo deems it to be harmful, then it is the publisher’s responsibility to recall all the books.
- Tokyo already has the power to designate anything that is too sexually stimulating for minors OR too sadistic for minors OR too likely to cause criminal acts among minors OR cause suicide among minors as “harmful material”, and force such material to be treated as adult only material.
- This bill does not target simple nudity and panties showing up on the screen, but will make it more difficult to conduct social commentary on difficult issues of sex and relationships since fictional material must adhere to real life criminal codes AND not celebrate relationships between close relatives who can’t marry in real life, or their material may be considered harmful to minors.
- This bill does not target “hentai” (which is a term we don’t even use in Japan). All material already marketed as adults only is exempt, since those titles are considered to be inaccessible to minors.

Fucking this.

http://dankanemitsu.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/sound-off-overseas-input-on-the-bill-156-wanted-2/

NOTHING IS BEING BANNED. They are just placing further restriction on what minors can buy. The eroge industry WILL NOT BE EFFECTED. The doujin circles WILL NO BE EFFECTED. Internet porn WILL NOT BE EFFECTED. Those are already have 18+ restrictions on them. Broadcast shows WILL NOT BE EFFECTED. Under NO portion of the bill does it use the word Ban. Learn fucking reading comprehension.

What WILL be effected by this ordinance is shonen/shoujo series and the Japanese video game industry IN TOKYO. No other place in Japan is going to have to adhere to this law.

Is this a bullshit law? Yes it is. Will it be detrimental to the several non-adult entertainment industries in Japan? Yes it will. Will it be repealed when Tokyo's economy starts taking a hit? Maybe.

NOTHING IS BEING FUCKING BANNED HOLY SHIT NIGGER CAN YOU FUCKING READ?!

Okay, so, let me get this straight.

The government will be able to decide if titles aimed at minors are detrimental to said minors.
Because of this, titles aimed at minors will begin self-policing for sexual and violent themes to make sure their sales won't be affected.
Shonen jump, being a youth magazine, is affected.

So, if I have this right, the editors for One Piece (a manga that runs in Shonen Jump) will be censoring what Oda can/can't write?

I guess what I'm asking is, do I need to fear for my favorite manga?

So the only thing that's going to change is my slice of life will now be rated 18+?

I don't give a fuck about whether kids can access it or not.

>> No.6611765

>>6611748
No, and here's why

1. In japan, it must be porn to be rated 18+

2. Even if it was rated 18+, that would restrict sales (something the publishers wouldn't want to happen).

Your slice of life will need to be watered down to Nick Jr levels, become hardcore porn, or be cancelled

>> No.6611771

In a roundabout way I don't mind, it forces writers to get out of the NORMAL AVERAGE MALE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT protagonist gutter. The cap on violence/sexuality just means that there's going to be a lot more seinen gaining popularity; it'll make a more clear divide between what's kiddyshit and what isn't.

However, I don't think it'll pass though. There was some other law in the works maybe not even half a year ago that had everyone going "OH NO JAPAN'S GONNA BAN LOLI THE SKY IS FALLING".

First they came for the lolicons,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a lolicon.

Then they came for the homos,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homo.

Then they came for the gurofags,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a gurofag.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
