No.5838[View All]
So this has been confirmed by all my Chinese mutuals, who have told me how hopeless things have become there and it's only getting worse. In 2014 obscenity laws were passed in China that mainly targeted mainstream porn sites, but gay content was also included and targeted, forcing Chinese BL authors to use more 'flowery language' if they were writing something intended for an 'audience' in public, but on foreign sites (Western but mostly Taiwanese) they could be more free, still it was gradually building up to this, starting from 2022(according to my mutuals) the underground sites were removed en-masse, now the Chinese government even forces foreign companies to meet their standards. If you are a Chinese citizen who even writes anything about gay romance, you will go to jail for it

That "drawn/generated depiction of minors" bill (SB20) went live in Texas on Monday. Apparently a weeb porno distributor (JAST) was removed from San Japan (Texas con) over the weekend. I'm interested in what the first publicized case of this will be. It would be on brand for shit stirrers to start reporting NSFW artists who live in Texas, for example.
No.10319
>>10318I’m so fucking thankful I don’t live in the hellhole that is Texas. I remember wanting to move there when I was younger for opportunities but I unironically would rather move to a druggie-infested city than any shithole in Texas. I can’t stand how anti-freedom that state has become over the past 10-15 years. I get banning live action porn, but they never fucking go after that shit. They go after random ass cartoon porn instead because it’s an easier target and the porn industry is lobbying for its banning because they know cartoon porn was getting too popular. If they could, they’d ban all anime porn, but they have to use the excuse of “depiction of minors.” Which is so vague, it unironically includes jojo’s bizarre adventure characters.
No.10320
>>10318How is this not against the first amendment? How can someone even tell if a character is supposed to be underage if they are drawn like a post-pubescent?
No.10327
>>10318this law is mainly focused on AI-generated hyper-realistic CSAM. It would be a waste of time and resources to target anything else. I agree that the bill does need clarification (and to remove the cartoon part)
No.10337
>>10319Kek I'm glad I'm about to move out of state. Does Arkansas have any retarded laws like this?
I'm all for moids being unable to view lolishit, but I know damn well this is going to become a bigger problem than it seems. We're unironically going to end up having cases like that one where a man got fined for having Simpsons shock porn on his computer.
>>10322My hope is that the cartoons they're referring to is the same as what was always illegal - realistic drawings or anything that depicts an identifiable child.
No.10338
>>10337>having cases like that one where a man got fined for having Simpsons shock porn on his computer.The (reasonable tbh) copium I've been reading is that if it goes to the Supreme Court then it will get knocked down by the 1st like
>>10320 says. I don't envy whoever is gonna have to first climb that ladder though.
>>10327I wish "a lot of this was provably trained on real CSAM" was enough to kill gen AI for good.
No.10344
>>10338>if it goes to the Supreme Court then it will get knocked down by the 1stLogically it shouldn’t even need to get that far to be knocked down, but afaik almost all district federal judges in Texas were appointed by republican presidents and the appellate federal court for Texas is also filled with republican-appointed judges. And then the US Supreme Court is filled with republican-appointed judges as well. And while not every republican is anti-porn, a lot of them are pro-abrahamic religious practices. Also there’s already a similar federal law (less vague and less likely to have random porn artists be charged with it), but that law is only ever enforced for people that already have real csem charge to get them a harsher sentence.

Manga Planet will shift focus to its print releases through its label and futekiya imprints.>Over the past few years, numerous sites and services in Japan have had to disallow payments from various services such as Visa and Mastercard, due to customer payments being refused through those services. Such sites include, but are not limited to: Nico Nico, Melonbooks and Toranoana, DLSite (which also disallowed American Express), Fantia, Manga Library Z, and Fanza, among others. No.10887

Not just the above, either. Steam, itch, ko-fi, etc, all have the same copypasted spiel about not allowing noncon or sexualized violence if they think you're 'glorifying' it.

But yeah, this and that one actor who got ultra cancelled for going to a Japanese shrine that was tangentially related to Japan in ww2, remind me of like, conservative talking heads who went insane because Obama's middle name was Hussein.
No.12021
>>12020>that one actor who got ultra cancelled for going to a Japanese shrine that was tangentially related to Japan in ww2It does actually enshrine WW2 war criminals, which is why Japanese PMs visiting it gets people mad. But IIRC he only posted a picture of cherry blossoms that were near the shrine in a park and it was dug up after years by people who wanted to tank his career. Pretty sure just visiting Japan at all is enough for some types to get angry.
It was very sad, Word of Honor was great.
