A petition has reached the ears of the Japanese Diet for legislation that would potentially ban the bulk of Eroge (erotic games and adult anime. The petitioning party's primary focus is the depiction of underage females, prevalent in the majority of Eroge out there, apparently. A translation of the petition: A Petition for the Enactment of Regulation on the Manufacture and Sale of Bishojo Adult Anime Magazines, and Bishojo Adult Anime Simulation Games Our towns overflow with adult anime magazines and games which often depict elementary school girls, and the minds of the youths who are seduced by these games are unwittingly destroyed; they lose their very humanity, there are already incidents of young maidens being plucked from the streets and murdered. Since it is plain that our society has now become one where young girls are placed in great peril, the issue of free expression is a thing of the past. To curb these profit seeking companies with no conception of social morals, to restrict the creation of products which place young girls in peril, there is a pressing need for penal regulations and the accompanying laws. We wish to see enacted laws restricting the manufacture and sale of bishojo adult anime magazines, and bishojo adult anime simulation games. This is a hot topic of which the outcome could be quite interesting...for those of certain "tastes" (I won't argue the semantics).

They made three "protect the children" legislative motions in a single day, good for media coverage, no doubt - these articles and posts are the proof. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Write comment Name Email Website Comment smaller \| bigger Subscribe via email (Registered users only) I have read and agree to the Terms of Usage.
