America is a country of moral values

And by moral values I mean condemning bishojo magazines as child porn>Ugh, come on guys. I own a couple issues of Megami. I admit there's some pretty racy stuff in there, some of which involves young-looking characters, but jfc guys, they're just silly pin up posters, they aren't ACTUALLY porn, you can't even see anything aside from that they're ( Read more... )

Sigh. Someone on ANN's forums nailed it.

"I'm tired of this silly Witch Hunt that's going on. At first it was child porn, then it was pictures depicting child porn, then it was pictures depicting child nudity, and now it's... pictures depicting children?"

I really think they're going overboard with this whole thing.
Thank god all those mangaka decided to oppose that weird no-children-in-questionable-situations bill thingy. That was just bizarre.
I just don't understand what they think this is going to help with. They aren't photos of real people, and it's not porn, and there's faaaaar worse stuff that anyone can find in about three seconds, for free.

All they're going to accomplish is to set a standard for what is and isn't acceptable, and the standard they're setting is ridiculous. Anyone that was planning on importing any H doujin with Liechtenstein in it any time soon had better be careful =/.

in terms of this post, yes i'm definitely annoyed. >8I minako134 July 28 2010, 03:06:58 UTC
This is just slightly related, because Kinokuniya is kinda partnered with Uwajimaya, where I work, but anyway:

We have this ridiculous sake bottle & cups set that we can't sell for the life of us. Why? Because the design on it features art of naked geisha from the Edo period. Some of them feature men trying to kiss their naked nipples.

I have no idea why we still have that sake set in stock, it's so inappropriate and any kid could pick it up and be like "MOMMY WHAT IS THAT GUY DOING TO THAT LADY" XDDD

Don't worry so quick. This is just Kinokuniya being a douchebag and pulling shit just in case. So far no one's in actual legal trouble.
