I'm surprised on the percentage of people who have apps too. It's hard to find good ones to me.

I voted no/no. If we illegalize it, then there is plenty more types of manga that should be illegal.

I'd tend to say no to the poll, but I'm a bit uncomfortable about it. I really dislike loli stuff, but I'm also strongly opposed to censorship.

NO, NO, and NO. well, i get banning it in school, workplace, or regular bookstores, but that also apply to any work with sexual content. one should never made illegal or banning written works, however 'harmful' they might be since i believe in free expression. unlike other people, i actually believe video games caused violence and porn and hentai caused depraved sexual urges. so many books able to change the world (like mein kampf and das kapital) and media able to make people fat by fast food adverts and anorexic by skinny models.

HOWEVER - thats just it, we are always being influenced by one thing or another, when you start banning loli shota, you will start banning others like gore porn of the saw franchise, drug and alcohol glorifying movies like the hangover, mafia movies because it incite people to become criminals...etc, etc. you just cant stop people from being influenced by everything, if we ban the 'undesirables' we will just have a sterile culture.

and anyway, children rape are bad in places like zimbabwe because they thought it will cleanse them of AIDS or nigeria because child bride is A-OK there. they dont have loli shota manga, they just have a f#cked up culture. thus, the most important thing in preventing child molestation is not banning anything, its education and actually have a civilized culture.

I voted no/no even though I don't like the two much, simply because if I went by proper moral standards, I'd have to vote for banning not just loli/shouta but also ALL hentai, ALL ecchi, depictions of racism, sexism, hatred, etc., ALL mature content like strong language, excessive violence and gore, anything not censored to the degree that you don't know what the heck is happening, and probably more stuff on a long list. So, I guess you can see why I had to vote no/no. Can't be half-hearted about it either way.

I despise loli/shota (and I don't get how people think underage porn is actually comparable with porn depicting adults, but w/e), but I voted 'don't care,' because this kind of thing just isn't feasible. If someone wants to find child pornography (manga or with real kids in them), they'll find it, banned or no. And real life child molestation will continue regardless of whether porn of that sort exists or not.

Instead of wasting resources weeding out fiction, that time and energy should be devoted to finding real child molesters and people who make porn featuring child actors, and taking them down.

I voted yes/yes. I can't think otherwise than that stuff is way to close to porn with childeren.

Hey, why not ban Romeo and Juliet? Burn those books. And when we are at it, why not burn Oedipus the King too. People have a convenient scapegoat with games, manga, anime, cartoons. If i go around killing people, raping women and children and do every atrocity that i can think of and then blame everything to games, manga, anime and the rest, that is so convenient. But these are only fiction. Not real. People just don't go around shooting just because they played FPS games, they were messed in the head in the beinning.
Even loli-shota too. I don't like loli because it's against my taste, but i'm a huge straight shota fan, and not only hentai. There are good Older woman Younger man series with shota, so should we ban them too?
And if some pedo can satisfy himself with loli-shota fiction content and never think about touching a child, isn't that good?
Funny, that everyone is talking about Hentai but as i said, there are loli shota series that aren't.

Voted yes/yes. It's sick. I don't get what grown adults find attractive about children. I hate and would seriously kill anyone who I come across sexuality assaulting a child. They are innocent and should never be dirtied and disgraced in such a way so young.

FYI people who defend this by saying, "Well, they could always touch a real child instead of reading this!" Most criminals get their ideas from books/tv. It makes them want to do it in real life.

Either wa,y they will still do it regardless if this is around or not. Ban this garbage.

Well...I did vote for “ Don't Care ” (for now)...
as I don't read anything related to loli/shota...it's not my taste...

But, called for making it illegal or banned would be too high a horse to ride...too bothersome...and certainly wastage of time...

and You see the number of Lolicon are quite high here, 42.8% atm...while the people standing against it are some what half of it, 20.7% atm...don't counting the don't care ones...

Oh! It's not surprising that most of the ones voted for Yes/Yes like me(I'm a guy) are Girls...ya, love those people...Women Are Certainly Intelligent Beings !!

So, that's how it goes ~!

Let's ban all the fiction!

Seriously though, I voted no/no because it's fiction. Of course, if it's a hentai [insert the media here] based on real events I'd see no issue with banning that specific piece, but all of it? No, just no.

Also as mentioned, some people get inspired by fictional works and some even by real events. But banning something just because an idiot that's psychologically ill (most likely antisocial) copies what was done in a fictional piece is just wrong. These people will just get inspired by something else then. Maybe they'll end up doing human trafficking just by watching someone selling vegetables at a marketplace. Or maybe they get impulsive and kidnap, rape and kill children in the thousands.
Whatever you think, banning isn't the right way to stop these people. It just creates more of them. And by the time you've banned everything that can inspire criminal acts there's a full scale rebellion and anarchy outside. Good luck stopping actual rape of anything (women, children, men, animals, objects) at that point.
What should be done however is trying to find these people before they commit a crime and give them the help they need to function in society. Some, however, will never function in society. Ever...

No / No. It´s all fictional so no harm is done to anyone.I read loli but it would never cross my mind to do "stuff" to a minor.

I can understand Loli or Shota stuff being banned. But illegal is a little high horse.
Think about it. Let's say unintentionally drew some loli child, in an awkward pose, on a piece of paper. And then 5 seconds later, without any warning, my house is raided by police officers and they find that art drawing of some unintentional loli, in an awkward pose, I drew 5 seconds ago. I go to prison for doing something that could be done by anyone unintentionally.

No Artist (professional or newbie) will be safe.
If this becomes globally illegal, it would just mean freedom of speech has been limited to just "speech".

Jesus christ there is a major difference between this, it's fiction and reality.

One involves drawn pictures and the other a living, breathing human. Any sane person can differentiate the two and look at one and say "Yeah, I get that's not right and I would never do that" and "This is fiction that doesn't hurt anyone" and anyone who can't, or can and still would commit any illegal sexual acts on minors would do it EITHER WAY. This way, these people who are prone to do it, would just find another way to satisfy their needs and without any manga or such, who's to say they wouldn't start looking at actual child porn?

Is the solution really do just swipe it under the rug, say "that's taboo, don't even think about it"; alienate a way for /potential/ predators to suppress/cope with their urges? Mind you, I am not saying EVERYONE that reads/enjoys loli/shota deserves to be labeled a pedophile, far from it. But there is probably a certain percentage that could be, and I wouldn't want them to start looking for other ways to satisfy their sexual urges.

There are of course plenty more reasons not to make it illegal, which has been mentioned.

Sites, shops and such can certainly ban it if they want to, but like the person above me said: To illegalize it wouldn't make the problems go away.

What are the two choices for? The first for loli and the second for shota? Because anyone who votes different on those is a serious hypocrite. Or is it the first for should be illegal and the second for should be banned, but those are practically the same thing....

20% to yes/yes as of now!

Moralfags, fucking moralfags everywhere!
Burn them all!

Edit: As a friend of mine once said, "If I can commit a crime with just a pencil and a paper in a closed room, then there's something seriously wrong with the system."

Dear "Yes/Yes People", it's all fiction. You might as well ban all crime-related fiction going by that logic. Ban all rape books, ban all murder and terrorism books.

No / No lol

Child porn is illegal in order to protect children from sexual abuse. No actual children are being harmed in loli/shota porn, so there is no reason to make it illegal.

Do you think loli / shota should be illegal or banned?, NO NO NO, if you cant separate fiction and reality you shouldn't be here, ITS FICTION plz dont compare real children with drawn characters, that's beyond stupidity

Banning any sort of hand drawn or computer generated imagery that people view/create privately is absolutely insane. Just because you think it's sick or the people that view/create it are sick in no way justifies depriving people of it. IMO if the simple disgust you feel for something existing (and which you must personally decide to view) is the only negative effect, then you're showing a basic lack of empathy (It's really simple: just imagine if your own private pastime was deemed ban-able for the one reason that a larger group decided it was disgusting). And I don't believe the argument that says the main negative effect is that it gives people ideas and makes them significantly more likely to act on them.

I think loli, shota, futanari, yuri, scat and many other things are disgusting, but I'd never consider banning them.


Now on the other hand I believe actual child pornography should be banned because there are several other negative effects, e.g. children must be exploited for its creation.

No/No

Seriously i think that's completely ridiculous.
It's all fictional, what kind of fucked up world are we in if peoples worry more about fictional characters than worry about real problems our world have...

I voted "Don't care" because I don't read anything like it or similar to it, so it wouldn't make a difference to me one way or another. That being said, it would be one thing if this kind of stuff was images of actual children, but it's not. It's fiction. To make fictional illustrations of hypothetical situations illegal is opening a whole new can of worms. If it's okay to make shota/loli illegal, then what's to stop numerous other hentai forms of manga from being made illegal? Just because someone likes to read about fictional situations and forms of intercourse doesn't mean they are into it in real life. I know personally there a plenty of situations, actions, and types of people I love to encounter in manga that I have no interest in and would hate to have to deal with in real life.

Oh Man...Why are you guys, fighting over Unnecessary things ?

Does it actually matters...is it harming your daily life ?
Are you a Sociopath or Antisocial human being ?
Doesn't matter...try to speak to the real topic...

And Please, don't misunderstand Sociopath and Antisocial with Criminal...

Being Antisocial or Sociopath is totally different from being a Criminal...

A criminal always can be a Normal guy or others like antisocial or sociopath or a maniac...ok

Sociopath = someone with a sociopathic personality; a person with an antisocial personality disorder (`psychopath' was once widely used but has now been superseded by `sociopath')

Sociopathic Personality = a personality disorder characterized by amorality and lack of affect; capable of violent acts without guilt feelings (`psychopathic personality' was once widely used but was superseded by `sociopathic personality' to indicate the social aspects of the disorder, but now `antisocial personality disorder' is the preferred term)

Antisocial = hostile to or disruptive of normal standards of social behavior

Antisocial Personality Disorder = a personality disorder characterized by amorality and lack of affect; capable of violent acts without guilt feelings (`psychopathic personality' was once widely used but was superseded by `sociopathic personality' to indicate the social aspects of the disorder, but now `antisocial personality disorder' is the preferred term)

but, if you still insist on doing this...Then GuttedGnome certainly wins over zeroINUGAMI, in terms of Knowledge...Okay...Peace

No/No.
Simply because it's fiction and it's not harming anyone.
I don't see any problem if someone reads it on his own computer and doesn't bother anyone.
Anyway, reading loli/shota wont turn anyone into a pedophile (just saying in case some people still think that way) and if it's banned, then might as well ban all the hentai/gore mangas or mangas that show rape and killing.

No / No

Should we make everything illegal just because there are people who think it's wrong?

Games, movies, literature.... Anything involving killing, rape, violence, or any kind of action we generally consider "wrong" should be banned with this logic.

You could no longer find your favorite work by George R.R Martin in your local bookstore, there wouldn't be a movie genre called gore and every person playing Call Of Duty would be called murderers.

It just doesn't work that way.

If someone wants to read loli or shota, let them. It doesn't harm you in any way. Reading FICTIONAL CONTENT doesn't make anyone a pedophile.

And all of this is coming from a straight girl who doesn't read loli/shota.

PS: Sorry my bad English

I voted don´t care and not no/no because i honestly don´t. If i don´t read then they don´t exist to me. I may hate the genre but censoship is bad and leads to worse. Starting to protecting fictional characters rights but looking the other way when real problems in society exist in the moment of peak hypocricity.

So Child pornography is probably the only means of entertainment that actually harms people, since you need actors. But with loli/shota you don't really need said actors since they're just drawings. People debate whether loli encourages actual child molestation or serves as a means to deter actual child molesters from doing that shit in real life (same way people say violent entertainment encourages violence or not). And of course whether the loli or shota in question actually is a child is iffy (5000 year old demon).

I put "don't care" because even if it is perfectly legal, people will still look at you funny kinda like Bestiality and Incest in some state. In fact it's worst than that, it's more like Guro which is perfectly legal to fap to but you can't (and shouldn't) do that in real life.

I can understand (if deeply disagree with) those who vote Yes/Yes, but...
Who are the hypocritical assholes who actually vote Yes/No or No/Yes!?

As to banning these things...
Sure, loli and shota may be sick and disgusting, but:
Does it hurt anyone?
No.
Does it create, encourage or strengthen any inclinations towards sexual behaviour towards real children?
No.
Is it used to, in some way, assist paedophiles to either commit their crimes, or lessen the negative consequences they may face?
No.
Does it, in any way, directly or in-directly, cause harm.
No.
There is no evidence to say it does, and plenty to say it doesn't ...unlike real child porn (which harms the victim, by it's very existence, for a start).

On what basis, then, should it be banned?
"I don't like it, so it should be banned"?
...because using that motivation, you can ban pretty much ANYTHING.

There are a lot of manga, that portray rape and/or sexual assault. That's nearly as bad.
There are a lot of manga, that portray murder. That is far worse. (if you don't agree, then why don't we kill all children who have been victims of sexual assaults or rape, so as to put them out of their misery?)
Some manga express certain beliefs or attitudes, that they deeply disagree with.
There are a lot of manga, that portray non-belief in religion, which some find utterly deplorable. Some finding it worse than any of the above.
There are a lot of manga, that portray belief in a religion, that differs from theirs, which they find to be only somewhat less bad than non-belief.

Also, where do you draw the line?
How do you determine which character is too young?
What about characters who are 700 years old, but look like they are 8? Or characters who are supposed to be 14-16, but who have bodies that no 14-16 year (but maybe a 18-20 year old) old could possibly have?

I remember a court case, where the "police expert" (from the prosecutors side), who of course knew nothing of art or how stylized art makes her attempts at measurements rather suspect, was asked by the defence attorney to judge the age of the girl in a particular, rather more realistic, drawing. I'd have judged the girl to be around 20 (possibly 16 ...or 26. Hell she could be 30).
She said 11. (also, she said that, because the genitals where blurred/censored [as it must, by Japanese law], this was intended to draw your attention there, further proving it to be pornographic)
This isn't just a problem with drawings, of course, as people have been arrested for child porn, for possessing porn depicting adults, but where at least one of the porn actors where deemed, by the "experts", using their "scientific" methods, to be under-age. Basically, no one appears to have bothered to construct proper ways to determine if a person is under-age or not, but instead rely on tools that were never meant to be used for it, and which are not up to the task.

...and do you limit it to manga? After all, if you ban loli/shota in manga, why not in all other media?
That would make mountains of renowned, important and praised works, instantly banned.
The bible? Banned.
The koran? Banned
Romeo and Juliet (as previously mentioned)? Banned (Romeo and Juliet are both, very much, underage).
Lolita? Banned, of course.
Any works (many of which are autobiographical) detailing romance/lust in adolescents? Banned.
"Don't stand so close to me" - The Police? Banned
"Hot for teacher" - Van Halen? Banned
"Sweet sixteen" - Billy Idol? Banned
"Walk this way" - Aerosmith? Banned
"It" by Stephen King? Banned

I could go on ...for many, many pages. A ludicrous amount of pages.

Propaganda and agitation can harm people too and you could need actors for that one also. The moment we outlaw harmfull media that does not directly harm anyone is the moment we install tough crime. So i may despise straight out pedofilic fictional content(japan is not the only culprit by far), ero-guro or rape-porn but i will turn into a hypocritical Janus the monet i start working against it.
I find it interesting that shota-ban "won" againt loli-ban.

Huh...

MAN, AM I THE ONLY ONE, WHO GETS SCREWED EVERY DAMN TIME I DO A MULTI POST ? AND GETS MY POSTS FUSED BY ADMINS !!
OR, SOME PEOPLE ABOVE GETS IT TOO...

DON'T COMPLAIN PAL...I ALREADY GOT THREE TIMES !!

You can commit a crime with just a pencil if you write and publish a death thread.

You know what? Your way of thinking disgusts me. I don't care if it's just a comment that's not really hurting anyone or anything, to me it's wrong and it should be made illegal for you to voice your opinion at all- you should be jailed for it! I don't care if this is hypocritical, as long as people as narrowminded as you get locked away! /sarcasm

Sexualization of children in literature? The word lolicon comes from the book "Lolita" written over 50 years ago, look it up.

Do it, you might learn something from it. I cba with this anymore. *Edit: yeah I just checked your reading list like the person below.. now I really wont bother replying anymore... eugh.

It provides pedophiles with a release that doesn't endanger children, and it's not even real anyway. I like lolicon somewhat (as long as it's not hentai) but I really dislike real life children. I could probably think of more points but this thread is already a flamefest anyway.

The Tezuka Osamu Award for Excellence winning Berserk has sexualization of children ? What ?

No the list is true. Just not in the sense you believe but whatever. I have no problem with you guys responding back. I'll just continue to back. I never said you guys were wrong wrong wrong and this is why you're wrong! I'm trying to understand why you all try to feel you know what kind of person I am through my responses and my list and tell me I'm wrong and because I don't agree with you, you keep on insisting. So I'll just continue until I or you understand that we can't agree on anything. xD

Btw, I'll vote for no/no. Not because I like it, or okay with people doing loli/shota. It just, I respect the freedom of expression. Well...at least in some countries where there is an absolute freedom of expression. Which is not many.

Japan, as one of the most perverted county in the world, has proven itself by having one of the world lowest number in sex crime (and one of the lowest birth rate surprise surprise). It's probably because of the easy access to pornography of any kind, hence providing the means, to relief themselves just by "that". Since it's only fictionalized character, you could argue it's kind of the necessary evil.

But that being said, even with freedom of expression and my above reason, there's nothing to stop the society from making fun of lolicon/shotacon, or warn their friends and family about the lolicon/shotacon in real life. So there's that.

It's very obvious that these people do need professional help. And here's the fact. If word got out in real life that these people are lolicon and shotacon, the society will shun them. I know that, you know that, they know that and people know that.

Get help.

Wow, so many comments already.

I think it should be a no for both.
Censorship is not a fun thing.
And besides, those're just drawings. Nobody's getting hurt.

Just wanted to add that those arguments stating that it promotes and encourages similar acts in real life just doesn't hold up.
Have you ever watched somebody getting killed on tv?
Read/watched torture porn?
Did you go out and do any of those?

I think most of us can tell right from wrong.
Those who can't aren't aided by fiction.

Japan really is one of the most conservative first world countries. Porn needs to be censored, pretty much nothing objectionable on daytime tv or even at night, prostitution is illegal, homosexuality is not persecuted but tends to be not acknowledged and drugs and guns are a not issue.
They just tend to ignore a LOT but restriction guidelines have become stricter in all sorts of places(especially videogames) in the last years. Be highly productive and get your freak on behind closed doors is their motto. A used pantys machine in the street is more indicative of the neighborhood it is placed and not of their society as a whole.

People who voted yes are brainless for 2 reasons:
1) drawings do not hurt anyone
2) would you really want the police to waste their time arresting lolicons over arresting actual criminal who hurt children?

Annoying poll to be honest.

yeah, i do. "fake" or not i don't like it. (for the record, don't like violent video games either).

They started to actually introduce proper anti-child pornography laws in 1999 due to international pressure and became harder on the stance in recent years. I can foresee some hard times for the hentai/doujinshi publishers in the future.
Even Mr. Negima had some things to say but he writes lolicon porn as hobby(yes he does) so i wasn´t surprised.
Here are some basic facts to conversation sake and yes the National Diet had the same conversation we are now having way to often:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_pornography_laws_in_Japan

Violent video games sell the best. Rated M for MONEY.

I never said it was perfect I said they had conservative values õ.o

I voted no/no.

I don't like loli or shota, but I don't care that it's out there, I just ignore them (as best I can). It has a following and I have no reason to ban it, as it's fiction (clearly, as it is manga). Real life imitation though is a whole other ball park, so can not be compared.

Fiction is fiction. I read romance novels that have werewolves and vampires in it, doesn't mean I wish to meet a werewolf or vampire (that would be creepy and scary and most likely lead to my death).

To read about something and to commit that thing are not the same. You read about a crime, nobody is hurt or harmed. You commit a crime, people are hurt or harmed. People know the difference between fiction and real life, and those who don't are taken out of society (jail, hospital, mental ward...).

Enjo kōsai is mostly a myth and widly misused/overused in japanese media for the "oh i am sooo deep and grown up/look at me and my relevance" social commetary and cheap melodrama.

I voted Don't care, and I really don't. I don't have any sort of attraction toward Lolis, to be honest it sort of bothers me that It gets used so much, but I don't think It's right to judge other people fetishes, as long as they don't hurt anybody, plus It doesn't really affect me, in the case of Shota I'm specially neutral, because it's not nearly as popular as Loli and therefore not seen as often (except that lately the whole otonoko/trap thing has become really popular, but then again It's also quite easy to ignore)
Bottom line, I don't see it as a terrible thing, people don't go around beating hookers after playing GTA, nor trying to fly after reading a Superman's comic (unless they have mental problems, but if that's the case then they were bound to do some shit, whatever the reason, when not taken care of properly), so I don't think there is any real need to ban it, but If they did it wouldn't bother me either.

On another note, the people that vote Yes/No or No/Yes do bother me, I understand the people that might want it banned, and people than don't, but the people that think one is ok and the other not strike me as both sexist and hypocritical, don't be dicks people.

Oooooh, we can comment.

I voted no/no.

Drawings are a victimless crime. If I draw someone getting beheaded or a skull getting f*cked through the eye socket, I'm not going to go out and repeat that. If someone gets off to that - good for them. At least they're not going and recreating that shit themselves. Anyone who takes advantage of a child like that, with full knowledge of what they're doing - is disgusting. But a 2D image? Sure it's not the nicest of hobbies (but neither is reading hard core BL or watching gay porn) but nothing harmful about it. (Unless you believe video games promote violence and rainbows promote homosexuality.)

If we made this stuff illegal how would it even be policed? Would it be "all work featuring participants under 18 is illegal"? But we know 16 year olds have sex. We know that 14 year olds have sex. Highschool students do it - would we ban all those high school shoujo with sex? Maybe it'll say they're 18 but the character has a baby face. Would that be ok? Or would be ban "sexual acts with participants appearing under 18."? Where do we stop?

Do we decide to ban rape too - cause that's illegal in real life. Do we ban the depiction of drugs? Perhaps, if this was 100 years ago - we ban depictions of homosexual acts. What about incest - that's illegal in some places. Censorship is terrifying, and I worry if we begin banning depictions of just one thing, we won't stop.

I vote yes/yes.

I find the whole idea disturbing. I live in Japan and frankly there is a worrying amount of sexuality attached to young children. Grown women dress and act like young girl to attract men because cute=desirable. I know that I have no right to judge consenting adults, but I worry about how much of it spills over into not-so consenting children.

I attended natsucomi in Tokyo once, and made the mistake of strolling through the cosplay section. Granted there were some amazing costumes, but there were also a number of older women dressed as very young girls (like under 10) surrounded by men of all ages with cameras pulling sexually suggestive poses. It was wrong on so many levels.

I don't care what you call it, art, free speech, and outlet of desire, sexualising children in anyway is sick and should not be acceptable. I feel that allowing it in one form desensitises people to the shocking nature of the action, thus possibly leading to escalation until real, innocent children are abused. So I'm 100% in support of a ban on all forms of child pornography.

I don't like or approve, but I don't believe in censorship, so I vote no.

Outside pressure from america led to crazy things in japan. Most interestingly their continued dolphins killings. The fishers sell it as a form of rebellion towards the world and to keep one last national tradition going that hasn´t been taken away. Watch The Cove to learn more. I actually think that outside demands that forced japan to install clear laws are ultimately good. The old ones had too many loopholes and politics should always be international. Even here in germany things are changing regarding underage nudety. Nudity on daytime tv is still cool and restrictions on violent games have become very relaxed. The best selling teen magazine Bravo though had(non sexualized) full frontal nude pictures of 15 to 20 year old and that one stopped a while ago. Chiaki Kuriyama(Kill Bill) started her career in the same way. But i can´t see a problem that will arise with fictional nudity that is not clear porn in the future. We actualy got our mangas uncesored from the start. Planet manga is selling Bersek as 16 and up here. NOT A JOKE ! Japan and germany aren´t too dissimilar but we legalized prostitution a long time a go and have married gay politicians. We even lost a war together and or birthrates are better but nothing to be prod of eather.

hard to believe how many in here compare real cp with fiction, like this guy **I don't care what you call it, art, free speech, and outlet of desire, sexualising children in anyway is sick and should not be acceptable. I feel that allowing it in one form desensitises people to the shocking nature of the action, thus possibly leading to escalation until real, innocent children are abused. So I'm 100% in support of a ban on all forms of child pornography. **

sure ban cp,,, but loli aint **child pornography,** its FICTION its DRAWN...how the hell can ppl compare them.......

Lol wut, so many posts here ee

Hello

I voted Yes / Yes

Yes, because I wrote from country, where this kind of materials are prohibited. But I am fully aware, that there are countries like for example Japan, which are (in)famous from this kind of stuff…

Yes, it should be banned. And not only this but Ero-Guro also. This site is the largest manga database in the World. You are unable to verify the age of Your users. There is 18+ restriction, but is can be easily bypassed by making an account, but only then it is only show cover images. The content, the summary is accessible even without an account.

This site is visited by many Minors, and some content is unacceptable for them. It is easily for them to accidentally step across things, which They should not see or be aware of it yet. Even on some hentai readers there are loli/ shota restrictions!

There comes a time for everything, sex, drinking, making driving license, reading hentai, Guro, Main Kampf, loli / shota, Bible, Koran, and it is a role of Parents and Adults (teachers, priests, ect.) to protect and inform Our children about it, and any other threads they may encounter in Their lives. Curiosity can sometimes kill the cat. And even We Adults have problems with acceptations of some fictional contents. I read recently “Highschool Girl in Concrete” by Uziga, and I DO NOT wish to mine, or any other minor, children to find accidentally or on purpose something like this, until They will be grown old enough to comprehend this stuff. This applies to any content, to which you just need to be Adult enough.

So for people who voted no /no explain this to Your children why in this hentai fictional manga, You like to read or drawn so much, the main motive could be (using TAGS cloud): “gangbanged, incest, double insertion, double penetration, scat, guro, rape on drugged 9 years old girl with mind break and suicide from guilt of being cut into the face, slut”. Or read Them Nabokov’s Lolita Or let Them sexualize Them self with Playboy, as They wish. And that You really do not want to harm Them by this, or any of Their minor, under aged friends. This is good as long, as it does not hit YOU personally.

Be a good Parents

Thank You.

Sorry for My rusted English

No.

Mostly because when you start making fictional works conform to actual laws, then what? You'd close a lot of creative doors.

Can we have a poll about GORN and NTR next ?
