Bishojo Regulation Petition: Chibi Kawaii!!!
Apparently the tiny dicked jackoffs of Japan are sick and tired of the tiny dicked perverts of Japan destroying their precious little Chinese knockoff society. So while they're hot for Hentai, stuck on Shotacon, and yearning for Yaoi a line has been draw. That line? No more lolicon!
Apparently A Petition for the Enactment of Regulation on the Manufacture and Sale of Bishojo Adult Anime Magazines, and Bishojo Adult Anime Simulation Games will soon be put before The Japanese Diet (whatever the fuck that is) which states that:
Our towns overflow with adult anime magazines and games which often depict elementary school girls, and the minds of the youths who are seduced by these games are unwittingly destroyed; they lose their very humanity, there are already incidents of young maidens being plucked from the streets and murdered. Since it is plain that our society has now become one where young girls are placed in great peril, the issue of free expression is a thing of the past. To curb these profit seeking companies with no conception of social morals, to restrict the creation of products which place young girls in peril, there is a pressing need for penal regulations and the accompanying laws.I'm sure you'll all join me in my empassioned plea of, "Not mey Lolis!"
We wish to see enacted laws restricting the manufacture and sale of bishojo adult anime magazines, and bishojo adult anime simulation games.
I'm not entirely sure what the relation is between people playing Bishojo simulation games and "young maidens being plucked from the streets and murdered" though I'll guess it is roughly the same relation as people playing GTA IV and then stealing cars and running over hookers. And, admitedly, I'm not against this petition. Given that Bishojo is animated all the animators have to do is keep drawing the same characters and simply say that they are all 9,000 year old witches from another dimension; problem solved.* No, what bothers me is this:
"the issue of free expression is a thing of the past"
The fuck?
I'm going to get the obligatory 1984 reference out of the way as I'm pretty sure there is a Japanese translation (the title of which probably sounds like "koosh koosh paw euw nom nom chu") with which the tiny dicked jackoffs are at least socially familiar and rather focus on the sentiment of the statement itself.
Do the tiny dicked jackoffs of Japan want to hop onto the "end free expression" rickshaw over the issue of lolicon? Is it really that big of a deal? Sure, it would be ideal if tiny dicked Japanese perverts were not aroused by animated seven year old girls, but is banning lolicon going to solve that problem? And even if we grant the premise that banning it would aid in solving the problem is there really no better way to frame the debate than "the issue of free expression is a thing of the past"?
Also, why stop at lolicon and Bishojo games? Why not make one fell swoop and put an end to all Hentai, ever? Wouldn't that behoove the tiny dicked Chinese knockoff society even more than simply a ban on "meh lolis"? It's terrible to depict elementary school girls as sexual objects for tentacle monsters but it's fine and dandy to depict high school and college age girls as sexual objects for tentacle monsters? Really, Japan?
My guess? The group would like to outright ban all Hentai, ever. But they know that the tiny dicked Legislaters (who love themselves some Demon Rape) would never pass it. So they'll start with the lolicon (given that it is hard to argue on the bamboo covered floor of the Japanese legislature that portrayal of pre-teens being sodomized by plants is awesome) and then use that to give momentum to the "End Hentai" movement.
Which I would wholly endorse, by the way. If only because the national debate might draw enough global attention to the semen encrusted underbelly of Japanese Culture that it would finally end this stupid fucking Japanese fixation we've all maintained ever since we discovered Pocky.
*The other possibility is that we'll get a statement from the Japanese government which legally defines what an elementary school girl looks like. And that would be fucking hilarious.
