No one wants to deal with lolicon and the law when it comes to possible CP. If you don't care about getting vanned or feel like you can go fuck the law for that case, go right ahead and translate it yourself. CP charges when they go through means your life is basically over in any Western country, and it's understandably being dropped for that reason as stated. I certainly wouldn't go and take that risk in their shoes.

The Fourth Amendment also still stands, yet the PATRIOT Act is still in effect and the NSA is spying on literally everyone connected to the internet. The US constitution doesn't mean a thing anymore.

As for the law regarding CP in the US, it's technically illegal but not prosecuted. Quoting Wikipedia on how CP is not protected by the First Amendment:
>Pornography is generally protected speech, unless it is obscene, as the Supreme Court of the United States held in 1973 in Miller v. California.
>Child pornography is also not protected by the First Amendment, but importantly, for different reasons. In 1982 the Supreme Court held in New York v. Ferber that child pornography, even if not obscene, is not protected speech. The court gave a number of justifications why child pornography should not be protected, including that the government has a compelling interest in safeguarding the physical and psychological well being of minors.

(Note that this reasoning could also apply for loli if judges consider it harmful even if it weren't considered CP. But it actually counts as CP:)

Again quoting Wikipedia:
>In response to the demise of the CPPA, on April 30, 2003 President George W. Bush signed into law the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also known as the Amber Alert Law).
>The law enacted 18 U.S.C. § 1466A, which criminalizes material that has "a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture or painting" that "depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and is obscene" or "depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in ... sexual intercourse ... and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value".
and
>The court stated that "it is not a required element of any offense under this section that the minor depicted actually exists."

Though if we're speaking of the US, it doesn't matter if what you're doing is actually illegal as long as someone more powerful than you wants to destroy you.

The problem is that even if you successfully use this defense in court, you've still got the record of being charged with the crime, which is enough for most of society to shun you.

The law as it's written seems to support both sides of the argument, depending on how it's interpreted. The real answer is: the legality of 2D lolicon material has never been properly tested in court, so we don't know.

At the same time, the likelihood for a random translator getting in trouble for it is practically nil. Trouble is far more likely to arise from the copyright violation angle.

But the thing is, if it were tested it would likely go the wrong way. There's no incentive for a judge to uphold the constitution or whatever when he can just bend over for majority opinion.

Why is that? Maybe he just likes his eroge a lot, particularly CC.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11596152
He wrote a 300 page wall of autism/borderline conspiracy stuff, and that seems to bother a lot of people and makes them think he's more insane than your typical run of the mill scholar who over-analyzes literature giving it weird feminazi meanings the writer never actually intended. If he enjoyed writing that, I'm happy for him, but most people think he's just crazy.

Also, his translation is pretty bad, but that's what you should expect from some random guy on the internet trying to translate something Romeo wrote.

Fuwanovel just directly repacks an installation of a VN + patch. It won't go through the normal process of installation which includes making registry entries and stuff, so it tends to fuck a lot of things up. It's useful only if you're terminally retarded and cannot understand how to install a program and apply a patch.

In the U.S. loli is legal on a federal level. There are a couple of states that have it banned, but I have heard no case of someone actually being charged for having loli. They are afraid someone will appeal the case and take it to the supreme court where the law may or may not be deemed unconstitutional. It is the same reason you don't have to pay traffic tickets from those stupid camera things.

That book he wrote was actually the main project. The translation was just a side project because he felt Ixrec's translation wasn't good enough to illustrate the things he was trying to explain in the book. You can see in his blog where he references this fact a bit.

I just finished Amane's route in Grisaia. That was some really bad pacing. You start her route, have sex for an hour, do a flashback for six hours, and then the rest of the route takes another hour and Makina's the only character who shows up again after the flashback.
Michiru's route was also pretty disappointing with how they had every opportunity to say it was a fabrication but seriously went for the other personality being the dead girl's soul in her body, and then that pseudo-harem end. Christ.

Is the common route the only standout part of this or what?

The Common route is very funny and then the side routes just have stupid crap everywhere that isn't worth reading.

You can honestly just stop reading after doing the common route, it just gets worse as you do more routes.

I think people that compare Amane route to Lord of the Flies probably never even read Lord of the Flies. If anything the kids problems are exactly the opposite of those faced in that book. In LotF their needs are well provided for, and their problems come from one another. In Amane route they mostly cooperate alright with a few hiccups here and there, but their main problem is that they're all fucking starving to death and were dropped in a poor desolate little pit of hell. Even the final drop into being murderous cannibals was out of desperation due to being starved most of the way out of their minds.

The only real similarity was that both involve kids being stranded somewhere, but otherwise it's not a very good comparison.

Well SR was translated by TakaJun who is a native Japanese, which has its pros and cons but definitely is not conducive to natural sounding English text. The other Rance games sound like they were just done by some random fag so even worse in that regard.

Rance Quest is nothing but nostalgia bait. Even the gameplay is just copy and paste from the previous non-SRPG one. Magnum improved that a little bit, but Alicesoft is still obviously far past their prime and plummeting down.

I don't think that's true. I thought Rance 01 was pretty good, and Rance IX seems promising. At the very least, I doubt it will be carried by nostalgia like Quest was. Maybe I'm just too optimistic.

The only previous Rance games left to translate are 4.1, 4.2, 5D, and 6. All of which are pretty short, with the exception of 6 which is arguably better than Quest, so people really should be asking when that game is going to be translated instead of asking about Quest.
