Today, I got an email from a Japanese creator, letting us know about the new law currently being discussed to be applied by Japanese National Police Agency. This is a law to restrict expression of Manga, Anime, Game, that are:
- Image that show sexual expression of characters that appears to be under 18.
(Ex: The character does not have under hair, or character appears to be an under 18 school age child.)
- Image that show characters appears or seems to be under age, that are engaging in sexual act weather or not if genital part is censored.

This could possibly includes arts in the following categories:
1. 801
2. Shotacon
3. BL
4. Lolicon

Im still considering which side to take, but I think im leaning towards going against it. I know where both side is coming from but I just don't like the first point, and i personally find the law too harsh.

I think its bad, im against it. Its good on that it could cut down on stuff that shows highschoolers doing it. Though it could leed to the censoring of everything. Not all nudity is a bad.

I'm against it. I think people should have the freedom to draw whatever they want, and a portrait/drawing of an underage sexual act doesn't actually include real underage particapants. So I think this is law is unfounded.

Um... hello people. Did we totally forget the cartoons in question are... well... cartoons? They're not real people! Censoring things like hentai is just another form of artistic censorship. And that's evil!
