i mean, if we're being honest... in japan, there are plenty of shops that don't even bother putting a curtain between the regular books and the R18 section, or have curtains that don't really hide anything. couldn't tell you how many time i've been browsing regular all-ages manga, turn 'round a corner and get ero-jumpscared by an aisle full of R18 stuff just like BAM.While selling pornographic material out in the open where little kids can see it is definitely not okay and should be illegal attempting to completely suppress any and all pornographic material is also not good because people will always try to find an outlet for their emotions and if you make every single possible outlet illegal they will simply resort to Illegal dangerous unregulated methods.
Considering how many reported and unreported cases of sexual assault happen in Japan I don't really think they're the best example on how to deal with pornographic material. But then again things like that are more of a cultural problem as well.i mean, if we're being honest... in japan, there are plenty of shops that don't even bother putting a curtain between the regular books and the R18 section, or have curtains that don't really hide anything. couldn't tell you how many time i've been browsing regular all-ages manga, turn 'round a corner and get ero-jumpscared by an aisle full of R18 stuff just like BAM.
I guess everyone's kinda fine with it, so it's whatever lol
I don't think that is just a Japanese issue. You hear much the same thing happening in just about every culture. So it's not so much a cultural issue, but one where certian segments of humanity has issues with controlling their urges.Considering how many reported and unreported cases of sexual assault happen in Japan I don't really think they're the best example on how to deal with pornographic material.

I didn't claim that it was just a Japanese issue I simply stated that the amount of sexual assault that happens in any given country is influenced by its culture. In a poll about whether or not they would report sexual assault against them 90% of Japanese women said that they wouldn't do in part to the cultural stigma.I don't think that is just a Japanese issue.

One thing that we do know for certain is that overexposure to pornographic material while the brain is still developing is not good for it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12515835/O . O;
Yeah, im not sure rape report statistics means much when determining the effects pornography has on Japanese culture. Not that it's nothing, but not really reliable indicator either.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing against the need to limit childrens exposure to porn, I'm just saying that using rape report statistics won't support your arguments.One thing that we do know for certain is that overexposure to pornographic material while the brain is still developing is not good for it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12515835/
And that's why I believe that pornographic material should be regulated but still legally accessible. Although the current way that governments are trying to go about doing that is really bad and it isn't even too protect the children as they claim but simply to make it easier for corporations to gather information on people.
