Kyoto Police Tightens Grip on Loli Manga

I've lived in Japan for 13 years. I've seen little effort to shield the young from disgusting sexual materials.

For example, all convenience stores carry Rape Mags. Often they depict some cartoon female getting raped by some tentatcled monstrosity. It's very disgusting stuff. But whatever, it's fantasy. If an adult wants to buy it, then I guess that's his or her business. But the material should not be sold at convenicence stores, and even if it is, it should not be viewable by children. Yet it is.

While in America adult material is usually covered and kept in a place where children can't view it, in Japan it's freely displayed with the other magazines. Five year olds wondering around the store can gaze at the covers of these magazines.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm glad they seem to be trying to clean up things a little, but so far this sounds fairly minor. Japan has a long ways to go.

I think regulation for creating and reading fictional manga contains description of intercourse with child resembles to arrest Agatha Christie because she killed someone in her mystery.
Such regulations for indecent writings had been repeated again and again in Japan from even 18 century till today constantly, however all things went to same as before of squeeze by authority within few years. This inspection by police is a warning for the publishing industry and publishers will restrain themselves but essentially nothing will be changed as a result. It’s a mean to maintain the order of society.

Lolicon manga should not exist in the first place! what the hell is with those mangaka and publishers!! will they only stop doing this when elementary girls start being kidnapped,raped and killed?! Don't talk about freedom of press here! it need to be banned!! for the safty of the childrens! it got to be banned at all cost!! what the hell is with those sick plp getting fun watching kids being abused? they r not human beings but devils in human flesh! is no use labeling them ! the kids can get it online if they want! all these sick things need to be cleared from the world! all the sick mangas wheather is lolicon,hentai,shounen ai ,yaoi or yuri! there r so many healthier choice of manga out there y do these plp like to pollute their own mind and soul? sign~

> will they only stop doing this when elementary girls start being kidnapped,raped and killed?!

Considering the wide availability of these (and much harder things) and the very low rape rates (in japan), any correlations would indicate the reverse of what seem to assume.

You will NEVER get rid of lolicon/mangas/etc, its to popular.

You guys that disagree are morons, if it does somehow become "Illegal" its just going to go underground, like the drugs and crap like that.

If it does happen to become illegal, it wouldn't bother me a single bit, but of course, I have 100,000+ images, and several hundred videos, so I could take all mine underground, and give it away, and it still would be out there if I didn't!

I love the sexual scenes they have in manga, turns me on every time I look at it. I like it better than real adult porn, but not better than the real stuff though.

lolicon lives FOREVER!!!!

>Considering the wide availability of these (and much harder things) and the very low rape rates (in japan), any correlations would indicate the reverse of what seem to assume.

Exactly. I would make the connection to certain graphs that show the same correlation to video games and crime rate everywhere. Limiting the availability is a fine and probably needed step however not a concern to me since I am not a habitant of Japan. But the fact of the matter is if someone is going to do something they will do it regardless of the material available to them, the presence of this material may actually avert someone from committing the crime and imo, that person waking it in his/her room is much better than on the streets looking for a different way of making his/her fantasy anything other than that, a fantasy.

>all these sick things need to be cleared from the world!

There's just no way to clear all this stuff from the world because people like it too much. As said by someone else, lolicon and other sexually explicit manga has too big a fanbase for it to disappear - especially in Japan.

I think that perhaps removing it from news stands, etc would be a good move though as it would reduce the chance of minors getting their hands on it.

As for the moral issues concerning lolicon, I don't feel there really are any. If a person actually went out and raped little girls to depict what they saw in a manga, then there's obviously something wrong with the person in the first place. If you were to argue this, then would you also argue that pornography is the reason behind every single rape in the world?

When it comes down to it, it's all about a person's psycological make up and whether they can distinguish between reality and fantasy. Sadly, some can't which is why you get the rape stories. However, the majority of us lolicon fans know that it isn't real and would never commit such crimes.

I am not pro or against anything here, however making illeagal a certain combination of colors, pigments and pixels alligned in a certain order does seem just a little over the top. Also I believe it does not stimulate real world acts of a similar nature but rather the converse, the only reason real life versions of these things are illeagal (not that I would ever condone such a thing) is not because the images themselves are illeagal but rather because in order for them to have been taken a real crime would of had to occur in first place. But again i say this has a higher chance of reducing this kind of thing from happening in the same respects that making prostitutuion legal would lower rape etc, it is because they have their "fix" if you will, and people who are going to go out into the real world and do it were probably going to anyways and need psychiatric help. Never have their mental problems been brought on by these mangas or anything of the such, you either have a psychological disorder, or you don't, and one cannot be developed by reading these unless they are read and an extremly young and impressionable age where all complexes are developed. However as can be concluded from the previous statement I do believe these things should be shielded from the younger children at least up to age 16 or 17 as it is much harder to dvelop these complexes at those ages. Anyways that's just my say on it, but I am just saying, if you think these things are solely responsible for such things, you are wrong, there is a minute chance they could help one develop their plans for it, but that person was already messed up in the head to begin with.

Regarding lolicon as a substitute for actual rape:

Loliconners might also look at their pictures and think: "WEW! THIS IS KEWL! I'M GONNA DO THIS CRAP IN REAL LIFE!"

See. For every argument there is an equal and opposite argument.

The ban... Is a good thing...

hi

i've been a lolicon for a decade but after i discovered what the feeling of real love is like, i realized that what i felt for lolis was not sexual but rather just a strong instinctive reaction to their cuteness.

love is mutual however lolies can never give your love back simply because people have no romantic feelings that young

so all of you, grow up. lot of women are very poor at love but when you find the right one, you will never opt for lolies again

good luck

love is mutual however lolies can never give your love back simply because people have no romantic feelings that young

Neither can a pornstar.

I love lolicon. I have for a long time, even after finding "real love". But I'm not gonna stop watching porn simply because I found someone. I mean there are things about porn that love can't replace either. Like weird kinky sex that no steady girlfriend in their right mind would ever give you.

So uh... yeah. Ban everything some retard might try an do in real life. There will be no good movies. There will be no good literature. There will be no fun video games. The only good things left in life will be fluffy bunnies and working electricity. Maybe a few giraffes.

Not bad... If I get in power, I'm going to ban everything that might be harmful if tried in real life.

Don't be fooled by the official report of rape in Japan. It's low because in reality victims seldom file a report. Because shame-based society like Japan can be very very cruel toward the victims rather than the perpetrators.

Its indecent and has no place in society!!!!!!!!!
