United Nations Wants To Ban Child Abuse Images In Comics and Anime

[revojam]

Your Japanese worshiping cloud your judgement. The point here is you SHOULD NOT use a child, especially SEXUALLY, for your creative fantasy. You can do that in your hidden closest but not in public media. It is that simple! All authors, regardless to whom, use child depicting pornography should go to jail.

And your Japanese hatred clearly clouds your judgement if we go by your logic every single game and holywood movie out there must banned because people killed in them.

There are those who love Japanese pop-culture that condemns such themes in the said culture, yet generalizing it all is just wrong. Also, not all Japanese condone this things with some even looking down on people who love anime and manga, viewing them as potential rapists, but it is up to them if they are going to restrain themselves.

Forcing them to stop will just have an opposite effect because rather than stopping, they would rather challenge the restriction to see how far they can go before they get caught.

We live in the 21st century. Let me remind you that. It is time Japan face the responsibility of a civilized world in the 21st century. They cannot be afford to have good image when they continue to do things like Whale hunting, child sex obsession, and worshiping war criminals. They have to face the consequences for their action. Of course, they can choose to resist International Community standard but they must be taught a lesson on what is socially acceptable standard.

And your Japanese hatred clearly clouds your judgement if we go by your logic every single game and holywood movie out there must banned because people killed in them.

Perhaps on your cultures, it is acceptable to use children. There is a different in social standard. Using children for sexuality is the worse of all social stigma.

Since you couldn't find a logical answer you switched to personal insult(to my religion) huh? You are pitiful.

I already give you a logical answer. Depicting murder, while it's still wrong, is no where near depicting children as a sex act. You are dealing with a whole different ball game. And your response implies it is acceptable in your culture.

Can a fictional girl (that DOESN'T EXIST in real life) file a case against someone who had "violated" her (I wonder how can this be done) so that the accused can be arrested and be thrown in jail?

This issue is just a waste of time and money - it is plain stupid that the UN want a written rule that can be seen as vague and be applied in an excessive manner.

Humans on daily basis abuse Mother Earth .

Have UN done anything to tackle that . UN is a useless body .

 

[terranMarine]

Now why didn't UN made any remarks about anti muslim cartoons?

There comes a point where any international lobby has to respect the creative autonomy of members of any nation's literati. How can creative genius be acculturated and expected to flourish when we place restrictions on their potential, real or arbitrarily drawn? The UN should focus on constructive-focused, progressive initiatives such as health , political stability, and similar schema. It should refrain from interventionalist policies that erodes national creativity and the right of free speech.

You're correct, Pandit-san.

The United Nations is calling on Japan to ban child pornography images in manga comics, despite pushback from artists claiming the ban would violate their freedom of expression, The Guardian reported. Following a week-long visit to Japan, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography praised the country for its legislation passed last June that forbid the possession of child abuse images. But she warned that exploitation continues through the law’s loopholes for manga comics and anime.

“I accept that the freedom of expression argument should prevail when it comes to adult pornography,” Maud de Boer-Buquicchio said. “When it comes to particular, extreme child pornographic content, manga should be banned.”

The Japanese manga book market was worth approximately $2.3 billion in 2014, which de Boer-Buquicchio criticized as a lucrative business allowing a “trend which seems to be socially accepted and tolerated.”

Another loophole in Japan’s current legislation allows bookstores and convenience stores to stock magazines with semi-naked images of pubescent and pre-pubescent children, provided that their genitalia remains covered.

Until June 2014, Japan had been the only nation within 34 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that allowed possession of child pornography, although it had banned the production and distribution of those images in 1999. Under the new law, the penalties for possessing such images are up to a year in prison or a fine of up to $9,800.

Before the law was enacted, child pornography-related crime grew fivefold in Japan throughout the prior decade, the National Police said, noting that 600 children per year had fallen victim to directors and photographers of child pornography. But artists claim a ban on such images in manga comics and anime both threatens freedom of expression and rejects a popular Japanese art style.

“There is no such thing as manga and anime child pornography,” manga translator Dan Kanemitsu told The Guardian. “Child pornography entails the involvement of children, and we must confront it for that reason.”

Japan Manga ****: United Nations Wants To Ban Child Abuse Images In Comics and Anime

@Nihonjin1051
What do you think of UN's involvement? Is it an attack on animator's freedom and creativity?

I expect sales of manga to drop if it does go through. Half are bought by pedos because they want to see kiddie ****.

Reading your comment, I can't help but see you as a massive hypocrite; you always say Japan (or for that matter India, Vietnam and my country) should follow this international standards/rules or that international standards/rules, yet in some of your comments, China should ignore the international community if it goes against China's interests.

Your analysis is accurate and precise.

 

[Kashmiri Pandit]

Look at the Hypocrites , When India Banned **** sites , We were condemned .
Heck , Most people were against Government decision .
And people justifying with hilarious comments .

Ban **** and Bullshit Magazines which is spreading obscenity , Then come and talk about Fiction .

Its all Politically inspired . Anime , Manga and Light Novel are Fast growing media and there are some Countries who can't let that happen .

EDIT : Any way I am in strong favour of Banning Hentai .

Your analysis is accurate and precise.

This whole thread was created to make Japan look bad.

Its a bit funny and ironical though, considering the LDP i.e Abe's party which is vilified by Chinese members here is seeking the ban in Japan on child sex media portrayal.

Are you comparing our national interest to Japan's child obsession? Trust me, it doesn't hurt Japan national interest if they follow UN wish to ban child pornography in cartoon. LOL
