Maybe, it is too late for Jland now. It is ruined and degenerated.Sounds very arrogant but this is the image created by its own people. 0 kirakira25-"I know we were all over the age of consent (because we have laws prtotecting young girls in the UK) but I saw the psychology being used on these girls and their parents and sometimes by their parents."

Please don't insult all Japanese people by claiming this soft core pedophilia is part of the culture. Do I think the government should decide what is art? No. Do I think they should protect children from exploitation - yes, I'm afraid I do. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this! 0This and the "you don't understand because you are not a parent" load of absolute garbage! How did it escape your attention that ALL these models have the approval of a parent? I will tell you how. More emotion than sense. More intense effort to see what you want see rather than calm down and view this with a steady eye.

reminds me of when i had a visitor over from the states and we took a trip to akihabara. he spotted a naughty shop and wanted to take a peek. i told him it wasn't a good idea, but he insisted we go in and take a look... urgh. my skin was crawling for the miniscule amount of time it took him to realise what i'd been talking about. needless to say he had been oblivious to what might be within 0 like those rape games Jpn needs to publically humiliated in the worlds eyes again & again & again till they they are forced to do whats right.But I think the point many people are trying to make here is that, at 39 and 40, you can make a conscious rational decision to do something like this. Whether or not there is a market for it is another matter! But at 7, 9, 11, 13 - kids are not in a position to really understand what is happening to them and what they are getting into. As I think one poster said earlier - that is the job of adults - to guide them, not to use them for commercial purposes in such a way that they become damaged. If we left it to your kind child porn would be fine as long as the 10 year old said ok and the parents failed to stop it. Or the Kyoto gang rape would be ok because you would reason that the girl chose to be there with the guys. Or that the abusive spouse is not a criminal because the abused partner didn't leave or run away.

Whatever, It's not child porn as the idols are clothed all be it not with much. There is never nudity or sex acts and if there is it's illegal. Most of the stuff I've seen is no racier than a clothing catalog. If you don't like it, don't look at it. Not that I disagree in regards to the article here, but I think this statement is very very dangerous. What I might find important to protect my child from (bad language, sports, action movies could be examples for some) would most certainly not be something that most would want to protect their child from. Thus there must be a notion of moral relativism within a society - there is no one standard.While notions of no government may sound nice to the politically naive, history and ages of carnage at the hands of lawless rule should educate you otherwise.
