    “publications, films, computer games and any other goods that describe, depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence, terrorist acts or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults are not allowed."

    this is ridiculously vague. you could ban almost any M-rated video game or R-rated movie under these standards

        Australians are of known criminal stock. They cannot be exposed to suggestive content, it'll wake their true natures. This is genetics 101.

      what this means is you need to grease some aussie's paw in order to get past the censor

      This is actually so vague though what the fuck.

      Any media that has drug use or addiction in it? Or any MATTER OF SEX? So not even explicit things?

      This bans like... literally the majority of media. What the fuck?

        it's one of those laws that gets kept on the books to be selectively enforced. most media isn't banned in australia, but they could whenever they want

      Too many words when they could just say "If you watch or read pedo shit and/or rape shit (drawn, animated or written) you go to Gulag".

      Edit: hmm downvoted for what? Being against "hentai" CP and rape? Didn't know that's an unpopular opinion over here 👁️👄👁️

          Why do you think I can't read? Because I don't give a shit about a purposely vague Australian law?

            The disconnect is fairly recognizable between your comment and the reception, but honestly I don't feel like hammering out those details. I was simply relaying that the weebs took your comment for sincerity and this was obviously a bit

              the weebs took your comment for sincerity

              The CP and rape part was sincere. No idea why that's an opinion the weebs would hate… seems like the only way forward is to ban all anime.
