It may be 2011 but they could still go through with it! Shit… that’s not good. Nearly all the yaoi fans are underage so this is just kuso, shit, pathetic and to the government: kusokurae!

Yes, it does seem that they are purposefully going for fictional representations. It’s clear from the way the US law is written that the “representations” clause is meant as a catch for any would-be child pornographers thinking they could make images of real chuldren look like drawings.

Something like this law, I hope, would never fly in the US. Americans like their first amendment rights and they certainly don’t want the government telling them what websites they are allowed to access.

Quote:”material that depicts or describes (or appears to depict or describe), in a manner that would in all the circumstances cause offence to reasonable persons, a person who is (or appears to be) a child”

Geez! That’s just nasty. They’re really going for the fictional text/drawn stuff.
I wonder how it will work in practice, though. They won’t be able to block every single thing, or there’s going to be riots!

Yeah, I heard of this. I’m also a part of the Lolita fashion subculture, and I’m sure they’d be filtering that out too due to the name. It really sucks that they’d do something like that, I mean, Jesus, it’s the 21st century. I know they’ve censored video games as well. It’s just scary, imo. Censorship is not okay. Pretty glad I left that crazy country.
