The country banned child abuse images, but the same restrictions don’t apply to pornographic manga and anime depicting children.

Make no mistake—Sugiyama is no fan of the comics. He said he did not watch them, but would defend what he called the rights of those who did. He went so far as to compare people who like such manga with suppressed minority groups such as LGBTQ people in Japan, and blamed the “rise of feminism” in the country for the growing pressure to ban the content.

      No children were harmed by CG/drawn/AI kid porn and its existence is generally regarded (by the anti child abuse advocacy orgs I’ve ever heard comment on this kind of stuff) as good and beneficial in reducing actual child abuse. Nobody is a pedophile because of this stuff, at least as few as people who are gay or have certain sexual preferences as a result of mostly environmental causes are, probably.

      What the fuck is wrong with you. Stop comparing gay people to pedos. Jesus Christ.

      No, drawn child porn does not reduce the chance of actual child abuse. If you believe that I don't know what to say

      And yes, if someone sexually abuses a child while drunk they are a pedo. Obviously.

      Your whole comment is full of shit.
