Are you saying Japan has a more relaxed stance on porn? Don’t they have government mandated censorship of nude images? I would call that more strict, not less.

- f6v 2y agoThey’d censor genitals in porn, but erotic cartoons involving children seem to be socially accepted? I don’t know, it’s hard to understand them.
- numpad0 2y agoIMO, the way it is that hard distinction between child and adult is simply not understood. East Asians in general age in way more linear and continuous manner than Europeans for whatever reasons, and that makes it just harder to agree that some people aren't like others.

- toyg 2y agoGenital-censorship laws in Japan are a fig leaf, barely ever upheld, afaik. They are absolutely more relaxed with the type and amount of content getting published, and have been for a very long time. The likes of Miguel Angel Martin in Japan would be considered average, whereas in the west they shock the mainstream. The anglosphere is still somewhat conditioned by the idea that comics are for kids; at the other end of the spectrum, the francosphere expects every comic to be an auteur-level masterpiece. East-Asians just see it as a product to sell: as long as they are correctly labelled, so that strong material ks not missold to kids, everything is fine.
