"Japanese art" is kind of underselling pornographic images of fictional children. Most forms of Japanese art, I presume, aren't of this nature.

- kevingadd 4y agoYeah, I meant specifically a lot of the content on Pixiv. It kind of is a self-selection problem because content that won't cut it on services like Twitter is allowed there since it operates out of Japan, so naturally their Mastodon instance will also be used by artists to post stuff they can't post on Twitter. fwiw while the underaged illustrations are the most objectionable part, there's also other stuff that could get you in trouble - for example, illustrations of ww2 nazi soldiers with accurate garb would run up against regulations in germany and put the operators of german fediverse instances at risk. There are a few high-profile japanese games that feature accurate ww2 uniforms, weapons, vehicles etc so if you end up with fan-art for those games on your service you will quickly need an answer for "what happens if content on the fediverse is illegal in germany"
