UNICEF urges Japan to ban all things loli

Mar 11, 2008 Author: abq | Filed under: Pedobait

UNICEF says Japan failing to control child porn

Japan’s government is inching towards a ban on the possession of obscene images of children, which would bring it into line with most other industrialised countries.

But the Japan branch of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) urged Tokyo to beef up its laws by banning child pornography in manga comics, animated films and computer games as well as individual possession.

[…]

A previous campaign prompted laws, enacted in 1999 and 2004, that banned child prostitution and the production and sale of obscene images of children under 18, but simple possession of such material remains legal.

You could always fap to aliens, androids or thousand-year-olds who happen to look like twelve. All you need is a little nifty backstory and you can masturbate to your heart’s content. You could even pull the classic “she is eighteen” routine.

Like this has anything to do with the serious predators who would kidnap and harm even kill some child? Just the creation of a whole new class of thought crime. It has been a long time since UNICEF had any credibility. What next the banning or censoring of text only works and as to “prevent harm” to imaginary children like in England. (And when is J.K. Powling going to jail for all the awful things she wrote happening to kids or George Lucas because the young Darth Vader killed he “younglings”.
More BS dressed up to sound like it is doing something good. Bite me, UNICEF!

Um hate to post again so soon but I just noticed the poll and have one small quibble with it. I voted no but I don’t see lolicon as harmful, There are no “victims” and it isn’t a crime! The closest to any victim is either the purchaser because it ain’t cheap but is their choice and their monies or the artist/writer who as in any other form of publication is probably screwed by their agent and the publishers. (same as it always was)
Random person #2 March 12th, 2008 at 0:20 3

Haha, the law might as well not be implemented at all then… Every producer could just claim all their characters are 18+, and then the law can’t do anything to them…

I noticed that the image you linked to was from the game Yume Miru Kusuri, a very good visual novel actually. Everyone go play it =)

Thats funny because not even America can ban animated/fake CP, it’s been thrown out repeatedly in court. Photoshops were upheld though, assuming it’s based on an actual child.

This will never hold up. The lolicons will rise up and strike down the oppression….maybe.

What about Japan’s junior idols? What about the whole industry in manga, games, and the like? Where will they turn to?
How come we can’t get a few studies explaining how lolicon saves more “victims” than it creates?
abq: keep on the fight. We will not let loli die.
wandering nomad March 12th, 2008 at 1:00 7

this reminds me of the question that was being thought out in america not too long ago, about making some drugs legal.

in a sense, it helps circulate money as the taxes would create revenue for the country and such, but at the same time the people who feel that it is not morally right come in and try to voice their oppinions( not that voicing someone’s oppinion is a bad thing, but they should take a closer look as to how much good it could do the economy if they just let it pass. morals aren’t enough to sustain the economy.) in any case, if they are going to ban “loli” ( if UNICEF even understands the meaning of the word, because I highly doubt they do) then they shoud ban any pictures that contain real people/children. they should leave imaginary and non-realistic figures/characters out of it, as they cause no harm and those are, in fact, ways that people use to find an income (manga artists and such) i don’t wanna get too deep into it, but what if they decided to start banning any and all games that contained any form of drug or cursing or violence because they feel that the young kids are being infuenced too much by those things? less videogames are bought, companies loose money, people loose jobs, etc. it’s not smart to decide to just ban something because of morals or feelings.
the one thing that i agree with is that pictures of actual children or any other actual person that is underage should be banned.
>_>
yeah… um…sorry for any grammatical or spelling errors and such. I was kinda typing in a hurry before I forgot what I wanted to say.

Yeah, I think Lolicon actully DISCOURAGES child abuse since people can ease their urges through it instead of on a real kid. UNICEF is retarted :\

I wonder what UNICEF has to say about “The Simpsons Movie” which showed Bart Simpson’s peener? He’s under 18! He’s 10 years old according to Wikipedia! Isn’t that child pornography too?

Most anime doesn’t show genitalia. I wonder what UNICEF has to say about the YOUNG Japanese models? Sure, they’re not naked, but many have skimpy bathing suits that don’t cover much at all.

This looks, tastes, and smells like a cunning PR stunt.

UN is de facto powerless, UNICEF even more so. They can “encourage” people to do random things because some people still erroneously believe they are important organizations.
Keeping in mind that 2D loli is a industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Japan, this shit has the same chance of going through as a bullet made out of butter. What’s going to happen is that the Jappos will ban possession of REAL CP (which is fine) to appease them and leave anime and manga alone like they should.

Maybe I was a little too concerned at first. The Japanese are quite capable of exibiting the kind of thought that the rest of us should strive to emulate when elected to office. Well aside from the ocassional brawl in the seats! Then again wouldn’t you just love to see Ted Kennedy and Cheney mix it up or Pelosi sandbagging Lieberman with a real sandbag?
I have been told that Japanese censorship rules are actually stricter than here in the US but that it has lead to such things as a thin black line through the foreskin satisfying those laws only tells me how those laws are regarded by the enforcers. Most of the “mosaic” and “blank part of image while still having the outline” censoring sems to mock the idea as much as uphold the laws also has the benefit of being annoying!
That can qualify as a benefit if you as a censor are having a bad day and wish to share the experience!

No, the other anonymous, Japan is also run by retarded conservative zealots, the difference between them and the retarded conservative zealots at this side of the Pacific is the believe that this “lolicon” is “just an otaku thing” so it’s not important or relevant instead of “ZOMG BAN! BAN! BAN!”.

I don’t know about everyone but most lolicons I know don’t even like real children, they just like their “virtual” lolis that are not snot nosed brats like most real children in this awful 3D world, so I don’t think allowing 2D loli poses any real threat to children at all. Either way, if it still hasn’t been banned here I doubt it will be banned in Japan there is too much of an industry for it over there.

@ El Mex: I agree. Banning things only makes it just a little bit more inconvenient for the participant. The people who want to get their loli fix will find ways to do it, real or fictional.

We can only hope here on the other side of the Pacific that they pay as little attention to us as possible. :3
Lolicon March 13th, 2008 at 7:22 33

We, the loli fans DO like real children, I am sure, but it is true,
the anime ones are far more better, since they are 100% what we want them to be; always 100% cheerful, 100% beautiful, always full of “silly” ideas, - to keep us entertained.
A REAL loli does not that perfect, that entertaining….

And YES, it is totally BS ban virtual loli stuffs, & papers, since
nothing will change, people will continue get (and even create!) these things…

“If I cannot (not allowed to) see more loli animes, I will not be able to decrese my loli desires, and eventually, I will go out of my house, and catch a REAL loli, and you know what next….:P
If I cannot get my virtual lolis, only real ones ramain… lol what did u (the creators of this law) accept, lol?”
- Would say to the law for banning Virtual loli stuff.

Honestly as someone said above, UNICEF should spend some time working on real child abuse before ’suggesting’ to japan to ban loli material.

Their current position is just like urging USA to ban first person shooter games to reduce the killings from the free-marketed weapons instead of actually making stricter laws about how someone can get guns.

I wonder whats next, urging third world countries that they should send their children to school more? UNICEF should work more on making _real_ suggestions instead of trying to ‘look’ good through stupid PR.

the other anonymous March 16th, 2008 at 21:03 56

Lolicon harmful to society? When society stops bombing other societies for whatever the latest lame excuse is or driving members into unhealth, death and homeless then we can spare the time for this little thing. Otherwise is just what people do to avoid working on real problems especially when they may profit. Hey every 2 days as many people die here in USA from the effects of tobacco as did in the attacks on 9-11. but we aren’t carpet bombing Kentucky are we? Just that those deaths happen alone in hospitals or hospice or even upstairs in grandpa’s room while everyone else tries to act normal. All this away from the newscams and not on the front page. So no one cares beyond a few even though the profit in such has been amazing even obscene.
Ah, just my take I guess!

It would seem no one’s learned from the prohibition experiment in America in the early 1900’s when anything alcoholic was banned: Banning the act without putting an end to the attitudes that justify the act just drives the act “underground” and make it more popular and profitable.

Frankly, I really can’t see how banning drawn pictures of underage and underaged-looking people [in a sexual context] is supposed to stop or even significantly reduce the occurrence of the sexual exploitation of real children. The problem is that EVERY culture has been doing it [openly and secretly] for ages BEFORE THERE WAS ARTWORK SUGGESTIVE OF IT! In fact, it [child exploitation] inspired a lot of artwork, poetry, songs, etc. through the ages.

but i guess they don’t make a wrong decision, now do they? (sarcasm…)

LoliStuffs all really don’t encourage me to do a kid or anything, i hate kids. no, real kids. actually, it provides fulfillment. really that’s all that should be said to stop this crap their startin’.

i think they need to learn that, aside from a few cases, loliCon are totally harmless. a little creepy, yeah, but has that really hurt anyone?

What about ephebophelia (attraction to adolescents)? I’m not a huge fan of lolicon manga (I’ve occasionally uhhh used some), and pornographic material of elementary-aged girls disturbs me… But there’s something about 14-year-olds…

I’d never manipulate my way into a situation, but at that age, there are at least a few who have the maturity of the average adult. If something genuine and heart-felt forms, I think I would pursue it normally like with any of the other (adult) relationships I’ve had. And I’m a caring person, so it would be better for her to experience certain things with me than with some abusive creep.

Anyways, about this ban… If they wanna crack down on child porn, they need to pay more attention to Russia. Holy crap, Russia. Awesome language though, must learn it.
