Banning Fictional Rape

It's fairly long but the timeline at the bottom is more concise.

In short CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women) considers Japan's protection of fictional women from fictional rape to be one of the most serious problems in the world today and is trying to institute UN sanctions against Japan as a result.

Of course with the Internet being an international rape highway I don't see what they think they're even capable of accomplishing if Japan caves.

Why in the **** would the UN get involved with sanctioning porn in the first place?

Also, don't most Japanese rape fantasies invole anime women and oral, vaginal and anal intruding monster-tentacles? Don't think that can translate into the real world for a would-be rapist.

In short: CEDAW needs to pull their collective heads from their asses and focus on something real; that matters, like the rampant rape happening in the Congo, or that Afghan nonsense about starving women.

Jul.6.09: Results of an online survey indicate that 98.4% of Japanese believe that simple possession of child pornography should not be illegal.

Creepy.

I'd question the validity of an online survey, but the Japanese are a creepy people and culture.

Better than that, tentacle porn became popular in Japan because they outlawed penises and lolicon became popular because they outlawed public hair.

Judging by history this will probably make the plight of fictional Japanese women far worse.

On a more "serious" note feminists have pointed out that a good number of the artists and writers for this stuff are women and as a result CEDAW is restricting women's rights.

depends as what they classify as "child porn", as the depiction of underage girls in Japanese porn is common, though, afaik, the actors are of legal age. Hentai also has underage themes, so that might be included.

...

So, I don't get it, wouldn't this be the same as petitioning the UN to sanction America for Hollywood's depiction of fictional murder?

The only theme to hentai is explicit sex, pretty much by definition.

Yes, but this looks like it might work.

One thing about Japanese porn that cracks me up, I've seen many a time where the penis and vagina is pixel-ed to obscurity, but during anal scenes, the anus isn't. Never understood that.

Those silly US originated laws on Japan and pornography need to go away.

Weird. Their porn is even weirder.
I mean what the hell is up with mimi fetchi? A porn fetish where women clean their ears for an hour and a half. WHY are there people out there who get off on ear cleaning?

They surely are the main exporter of the most bizarre and questionable things.

I'm "meh" about this.

I don't really care what Joe and Bob do in their own home with FICTIONAL characters and cartoons.

Is there evidence that those things lead to pedopheliac (is this a word?) activity?

really?

...

wait, really?

didn't 'last house on the left' or whatever depict rape?

EDIT: no, I'm sure there is rape porn with white chicks... The issue is that it is more popular in Japan, or that they do it better and more people consume theirs?

Lots of non-Japanese movies depict rape.

Edit: Not all of it female rape either.

That movie was originally Swedish anyway, so I think they should go for the Swedes. Hollywood is le safe.

According to Sankaku Complex (which isn't PG enough to link to) the UN is seriously considering it.

Their source (http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0819/TKY200908190430.html) is in untranslated Japanese.

Have to aim their guns towards the French first, 'Irreversible' had the worst rape scene I've ever seen, I almost had to turn my head.

True, that. It is also the longest rape scene in (mainstream) cinematic history.

Although, to be fair, there is more than Irreversible why the word should go after the French.

The General's Daught depicted it fairly graphically.

The USA channel miniseries, Helen of Troy also depicted it towards the end of the series. It was graphic enough, and it was TV 14.

Mountain Man: Now, let's you just drop them pants.

Bobby: Drop?

Mountain Man: Just take 'em right off.

Bobby: I-I mean, what's this all about?

Toothless Man: Don't say anything, just do it.

Mountain Man: Just drop 'em, boy.
(To Ed - at knifepoint) You ever had your b---s cut off, you f--kin' ape? Looky there, that's sharp. Bet it would shave a hair.

Toothless Man: Why don't you try it and see?
(To Bobby) Take off that little ol' bitty shirt there, too.
(To Mountain Man) Did he bleed?

Mountain Man: He bled.
(To Bobby) Them panties. Take 'em off.
(After attacking him) Hey boy, you look just like a hog....
(Holding Bobby's nose as he straddles him from behind) Come on piggy, give me a ride...Looks like we got us a sow here, instead of a boar....I bet you can squeal like a pig.

Bobby: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
