Anyway, while I can understand why some (misguided) people would seek to ban hentai, I don't understand why any would move to ban hentai and NOT ban real pornography. |
hentai causes rape and violence towards women? How is that possible they make their breasts the size of torpedoes that defy gravity. Though let's not forget that real life porn has it's own "rape" genre... really makes me wonder what's causing rape... maybe it's eating too many oranges!
If the UN wants to stop rape and violence towards women, they just need to castrate every living male and problem solved. |
Hentai has never been an interest to me. Porn, 2D characters, whatever, are a big turn off. I don't think banning hentai will do anything. We'll have the raging otakus and what not complaining about it. Anyone who actually watches the stuff will be in an uproar. Just like taking away pornography, it'll never happen. People enjoy the stuff too much. Its good they are taking a positive stand in this. Although Japan is a fairly safe and peaceful country, other countries aren't. It is good to promote woman's rights and try to sustain all the abuse.
Still, banning hentai won't do anything but get complaints from those who enjoy it, as well as the industry that sponsors/creates it. |

B. Did I say Correlation=Causation? Please don't misinterpret what people say. Human are naturally violent, but certain stimuli act as catalysts to activate said violent behavior. |

Even if there is any correlation, just because it can (very unlikely) increase a negative act does not mean it should be banned. It is an irrational breach of human rights. Are you fine with all violent entertainment being banned just because it has a minuscule chance of making people aggressive? |
Equality Now lost meaning to me ever since they gave Illusion a bad name and tried banning an old game that wasn't even meant for the foreign market :/

Sorry for doing that... But anyways, are these people delusional? If they wanted to ban games that promote violence against girls then they might as well ban fighting games and/or RPG's while they're at it -_-; |

On the other hand, I have numerous sources I can name. Before you argue that these sources are mostly about video games, the argument is roughly the same: violent media inspires violence (not to mention a lot of hentai presents in the form of a video game). Games are generally considered to be more immersive than other mediums, so the link should be stronger for video games, right? Vastag, B. “Does Video Game Violence Sow Aggression?” Journal of the American Medical Association. 2004. Summary: "If video games do increase violent tendencies outside the laboratory, the explosion of gaming over the past decade from $3.2 billion in sales in 1995 to $7 billion in 2003, according to industry figures would suggest a parallel trend in youth violence. Instead, youth violence has been decreasing." Baldaro, B., et al. “Aggressive and Non-Violent Videogames: Short-Term Psychological and Cardiovascular Effects on Habitual Players.” Stress and Health, Vol. 20, pp. 203-208. 2004. Summary: study showed no correlation between playing violent games and hostile tendencies.

Tremblay, R. “Physical Aggression During Early Childhood: Trajectories and Predictors.” Pediatrics. 2004. Summary: "Most children have initiated the use of physical aggression during infancy, and most will learn to use alternatives in the following years before they enter primary school. Humans seem to learn to regulate the use of physical aggression during the preschool years. Those who do not appear to be at highest risk of serious violent behavior during adolescence and adulthood." Most people have some violent tendencies, but learn ways to cope with such urges. Violent media is one way of doing this. Sternheimer, K. “It’s Not the Media: The Truth About Pop Culture’s Influence on Children.” 2003. Quote:

If this is about banning 3D porn, then, it probably won't happen. Porn will never be banned. You'd have to take down all those naughty statues placed around the world. (Like in Italy) ... Bad joke is bad. |

I am very surprised by the mature conversation going in this thread and by young people. I am very proud to see this going on. I will give my opinion on this as well. But keep in mind i am very proud of the mature minds we have in this thread, my hats off to you young'ns ^_^
Well my opinion is short, i don't even know why i am giving it. For one you shouldn't get to upset about dumb threats like this. I mean people do it all the time because they wanna be "christian" about it. This world is far from perfect and people should stop trying to change things like porn because it really can't be stopped. If it is stopped though, then people will find other ways around it. Its like taking drugs away from an addict, they will find a way to get them. Its the 21st century for gods sake, don't you think that we should be looking at more serious topics rather than "hentai causes negative effects on society". This is bull, its all dependent on the viewer, If its a person with low self control then of course they will go and do crap like this. But it mostly is of a psychological factor. Some people are more prone to doing certain things than others, in a sense some people are biologicaly built to be more impulsive than others. Believe me if the person wasn't a rapist it would be either a killer, a thief, or some other type of crime. In any case you cannot link hentai and rape, it just doesn't mix. Its like trying to pin the tail on the donkey. One thing though that i thought i should say is that before people go saying porn is bad and all that crap they should take a look at themselves. It makes people feel good, and is a stress reliever. Lets face it some people out there need it. I am pretty sure my rant makes no sense at all, but i just thought i say that, since i am taking currently a class in psychology and therefore i can somewhat make a suggestion that part of it is boilogicaly built. All you really need is a trigger, or rather i should say, some of us have a shorter fuse than others, and not one of us know what will trigger that ignition. Oh and again i am very surprised by the young surfers of this forum, very mature...it still is a shock to me from the stuff i see daily. |

and yeah, i really don't like how they go around banning stuff left and right, on the pretense of "supporting oppressed individuals" and justifying their actions with that; surely they have bigger fish to fry than to deprive angsty young men of their output for sexual desires? it's also kinda funny how everything was a-okay in the hentai industry/japanese society relationship before the foreigners decided to jump in (or did i not do enough research?) well, it's simply not possible to solve discrimination entirely, so i guess the best they can do is to take a shallow approach at it, and make it seem that they're actually making progress. ("they" being whichever organization doing this, and stuff) |
Anyone who dislikes the trend toward bans on hentai should consider joining or at least looking at this website:
http://www.yestofreedom.org/ It contains some professionally prewritten arguments against hentai/lolicon ban that may be copied and used in e-mail. |
Honestly? My opinion on this is that SOME hentai just shouldn't be made.
"Harmless" pleasures? .. In all honesty, some things just shouldn't be indulged in. Like... Say.. Child hentai? Rape hentai? I mean, honestly people, look what you're saying. You're defending cartoon pornography of all things. If they ban it, there's really nothing you can do about it except complain and mope. I just really think they should do away with all of those sick little things people call "fetishes". |
Um...this is really old...like more than half a year old....
Oh, and the loli ban didn't go through. It flopped horribly. /closed |
