This is a separate issue, though it is a problem of course.
The fact that this is conflated with the idea of drawn representations of fictional characters is saddening and only server so confuse matters.
- mirimir 9y agoI'm not conflating anything. I'm saying that applying American sexual standards to Japanese culture is problematic. If it's not uncommon for ~14 year old women to earn spending money as sex workers, why wouldn't pictures of naked ~14 year old women be likewise common? One could, of course, argue that Japanese culture is backward and unenlightened. Indeed, I'm sure that many Japanese are convinced of that.

Japan has a culture of child idols too, who are typically pre-pubescent in age. What you're getting at is the distinction between prostitution and pornography is merely syntactic.
