"At least our free countries don't have morality police controlling what people can wear" - "Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist... maybe they're just better dressed and better hidden... they don't have to control what you wear if they can control what you see..."

A quick and dirty meme after seeing the latest updates. Saimin? Really? But 50SOG with its dubcon (at best) is fine? Hmm.... I wonder why. u/kaigyuu2016 would probably have a field day with this.

I mean, I'm no fan of ryona/guro myself, but I don't go around telling others they can't access it (even if they might need a bit of Touhou Jesus after that).

Then again, I guess when you have money and monopolistic/duopolistic power in a market/industry, you'll try to reshape what society can see according to what you think is right... just like Steam.

I wrote some time ago that "this isn't stopping at looks = age, but going beyond that. It's anyone's guess where it'll stop."

If they don't stop at saimin... what's next, timestop?

u/Jaggedmallard26 nailed it pretty well... "You can launder money from drug cartels so they can buy heavy weaponry with a bank but god forbid you use their service to see a titty."

Fortunately, it seems like some in Japan are taking notice of this "make Japan and Japanese media conform to Western standards" and trying to stand up.

My condolences to our German weebs, though.

It's the most likely explanation.

!When he said "This is as painful for you as it is for me", he did not know how true that was. Those laughs hurt so much.

"...I must dance."

And dance my good ~~monke~~ man did.

Well, hopefully goukan doesn't happen at goukons...

After the record scratch, I was informed rather politely that it was indeed NOT Goukan, but Goukon.

Well, it could've happened to anyone... "Why yes, I do love mangoes. Why do you ask?"

Article source

I've not watched it despite Gigguk's gushing over the animation details, but I'd imagine that's a fair title...

Almost as embarrassing as that time I mixed up... well, never mind that for now.

The reason why you're not 8man: He actually got the girl, but all you got was the depresso.

Yui's "Hello Alone" ballad is beautifully sad.
