Number of Child porn cases jump to record hights in Japan.

[Pandalisk]

You win a giant cookie!
i just watched that episode last night

 

[Mardy]

Somehow I'm not suprised.

 

[Simalacrum]

its horrible stuff, but honestly I'm not suprised. Japan is just more... 'tolerant' (for lack of better word) of that kind of stuff.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Considering the amount of people that are in the country, that's not a huge number.

The age of consent probably doesn't help a great deal either, as well as the lolicon. It's the way the society works to be honest. I believe I saw somewhere that 2 years ago there were 2100 child porn cases in the U.S. alone.

That's proportionally more than Japan. In fact, proportionally that's about twice as much as Japan if it really was 2100 cases and my mental maths isn't failing me. Go find a source to confirm pleasssseeeee.

This wasn't it, but it says it a few paragraphs down. http://cyberlaw.org.uk/2008/08/31/us-feds-push-child-porn-cases-penalty-can-be-years-in-prison/

I'll see if I can get a graph of some sort.

do an average and you'll get close to it

so 218 in Japan isn't that much when you look at the population differences

It's no wonder the rape game industry is in bloom lately. Kind of disturbing.

 

[PhantomCritic]

Truly disturbing, sickening really to be honest. But I must say, this doesn't suprise me at all when Japan is involved.

 

[Titanguy654]

Eh, Japanese porn is all censored anyway so it is just a waste of time. *deliberately misses the point*

Not if you know where to loooooooooooooooooooooo- Uh...just kidding.

 

[Valiance]

How disgusting and terrible, im all for Freedom of choice and way of life, but dude, its having sex with children, Japan should pass a goddamn ban already.

at least the death rate is low, though that can be viewed as good or bad depending.

I don't think there should be ANY deaths, really.

 

[Sparrow]

I'll bet the rape-games are gonna get blamed for it. This is just that kinda thing Jack Thompson was waiting for.

His head must have almost exploded when he heard about rape games.

"Dammit. All this injustice, I'm only one man! ...or am I?"

 

[Perwer]

That is just grim
Why children? I've never understood why children
In all honesty though I didn't expect any less out of japan

I don't feel like searching for "Child Pr0n" in google but by percentage I wouldn't be surprised if the figures are similar in western countries.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

I'm sorry, but it's Japan, none of this amazes me.

"So you're saying that pubic hair is immoral and disgusting, and needs to be censored, yet owning kiddie porn is totally legal?"

Nothing wrong right there.

edit: I think that somehow, WW2 fucked up the sexuality of the Axis countries (excluding Italy).

It was the A-bombs in Japan, and all the Phosphorous we used to set Germany on fire. Ah, man those were good times, watching Dresden burn. Still, Italy has no excuse.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

You expected different from a culture that invented Loli and..the tentacle pr0n..thing..

Japan is a leader in robotics and such, it's just a shame they're also a leader in the rest of the crazy shit going on in the world too.

Thanks.

For people who didn't read that, it says:

Child-porn crimes have gone from a rarity on federal court dockets to a phenomenon, with prosecutions jumping nationally from a scant 30 in 1995 to more than 2,100 last year, according to a Mercury News analysis of Justice Department data maintained by Syracuse University.?

2,100 in a country with a population of 307,088,000 for America.
382 in a country with a population of 127,433,494 for Japan.

So I was right. Congratulations America, you're worse for child pornography than Japan. /very slow golfclap.

 

[dalek sec]

Japan never ceases to amaze and disgust me.

Indeed. They make some amazing things, have excellent movies/anime/manga and then they have this to completely counter it all...

Pretty much this for me as well, just makes me slap my head each time something like this happens.

So IMHO Lolicon does far more good for the country than it does harm, that makes one think. I might even make some kind of thread about it if I can form it into a discussion.

EDIT: I'm also going to laugh at the fact that all of this will go over most's heads and they will sit there and say 'I'm not surprised, Japan is full of monsters!'

EDIT 2:

That is just grim
Why children? I've never understood why children

Grim? 20 quid says you're British. Off topic, I know, but whatever.

Yeah, I was having a good giggle at that. But it's okay for them to ignore it because LOL JAPAN SO CLAZY. A thread about it would devolve quickly into mindless flaming though.

*frowns* What's wrong with saying grim?

I don't want to be racist, but you Americans always judge others based on your own values. And oh my do you judge a lot. You're beloved comedian Jon Stewart decided that Canada was full of mindless sheep who constantly get herded around by the "British Empire," because Canada has a Governor General. And since the Prime Minister asked the Governor General for "permission" to prorogue parliament, this is quite indisputable. Although he didn't even think that there could be anything except the truth his American upbringing dictated. It's no different than China. You know what our generation in China thinks about the Tiannamen Square massacre? It didnt' happen. Seriously. They remind me of Americans a LOT. I know this is very rude and patronising to perfectly sane Americans. Those who, you know, think; and I apoligise to you, if you do indeed think, and not consider such things to be blasphemy punishable by burning or stoning to death. You know who you are. "cleverlymadeup" and "Amnestic" seem to do that thinking thing. MOst others are all about the JAPAN IS EVIL!

Now that I'm done that, I want you to consider that you are not considered an adult in Japan until you are 20. Therefore, unless I'm mistaken, "child" porn could be a 19 year old. But, thinking can be a very scary thing sometimes, I know. It's easy just get PISSED OFF. GRRR. JAPAN IS EVIL.
Also, it assumes that being photographed naked makes you a victim. Like I said before, I'm 19, and if a bunch of hot, fawning woman wanted a picture of me naked while I was in Japan, in all my explosive sexiness and masculinity, that makes me a victim? Ugh. That's all I have to say about that. And outside of Japan, if the same things happened to me two years ago, it would also make me a victim. Oh well, let's lynch the fuckers, there's too many people in the world anyway.

*edit* I'm sure not everyone doing the "Japan is full of crazy child molesters" thing or whatever is American, but if you took a percentage of those who are and those who aren't, I doubt it would be flattering. Worry about yourself and don't start rabbling about other countries that you know nothing about. Basically, you don't understand a country or a people, but you do understand that you don't like something about what they do, so (insert a bunch of wild conclusions here...) must all be true about it. And no one outside the U.S. is innocent either because they aren't American. To me everyone looks retarded. And until they aren't, I plan to tell them what I think of them. Much as they express what they think of me. And I went to a school with a bunch of retards, so I'm a prick. But it's better than being a pussy who can't do anything because they think hurting others is wrong. All that matters is who you hurt and how much.
