Copied from the thread on /a/:

>According to Sankei news, Chiba Tetsuya and Satonaka Machiko held a press conference to declare opposition to a local ordinance regulating "fictitious juveniles". Numbers of famous mangaka made objection to the regulation that it will severely violate the freedom of expression.

>The regulation was proposed by Tokyo metropolitan government and it intends to restrict the minor characters appearing in manga, anime, movies, and games. Even if the characters are described as adults in the story, Tokyo will judge whether the characters are considered to be minors based on the appearance, backgrounds, and voices. Those characters are defined as "fictitious juveniles" and Tokyo will restrict the sales of the media if it contains sexual expressions of "fictitious juveniles". Mangaka and their supporters are apprehensive that the interpretation of "sexual expressions" can be expanded limitlessly.

>List of opposing mangaka can be viewed here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=167631

>And yes, Akamatsu Ken is one of them so pic related.

Now I know this isn't strictly /jp/ related, but it'd presumably have a major impact on the Doujin market. How does /jp/ feel about this?

My feelings on the subject are thusly:
1. This is an affront to freedom of speech and is despicable
2. This means less Touhou doujins, something that affects me personally
3. However, this DOES mean more shapely women in porns, so its not all bad

Well no shit, we came to that conclusion when this first came up, but isn't it a little worrying that this sort of thing can happen in the country of origin? By Evangelical Christians, of all people? The fact they have enough influence to do this in the first place is pretty troubling.

No, actually, it means less shapely women and more caricatures with tertiary sex characteristics oversized to absurd levels.

The trouble is, it doesn't extend to just loli. Busty schoolgirls, underdeveloped adult women, hell, if they have a childish voice it could be considered 'unacceptable'. Sure there'll be more busty adult women doujinshi, but is it worth the price?

I'd be satisfied if they cut with the lolis' age bullshit.
Am I expected to believe a toddler which has the proportions of a man is in fact 16-18 years old ?
I know japanese women are short but this is riduculous, and the more I age the more I find hard to deal with that crap.

okay, i saw this on the front page of 4chan and had to comment. i admit i watch very little anime but what kind of faggots needs to have overly sexualised pre-teens in thier anime? fuck, this is why most people think anime is just a bunch of nerdy shit pandering to perverts. i dont see why japan has this fascination with putting 12 year olds in miniskirts, that shit wouldnt fly in other countries and its creepy as shit.

Why wouldn't it pass though? Remember that we are talking about the country that STILL are censoring genitals when no other country does so. Obviously the country is filled with people too worried about appearance to care for their own countrymen.

I think saying they censor genitals is pushing it a bit. They put a thin darkened bar over them because that's what they have to do, not because they feel some great embarrassment in showing them.
