New Korean Laws Cause Problems for Korean Artists

  A guy in South Korea went to police station for questioning after uploading an anime called R-15. In Japan you have to be 15 or older in order to watch it, but it's 19+ in Korea. It's one of those ecchi comedy type, kind of like To Love-Ru, not an h-anime. His defense was that it had no pornographic content in it, and it had around one nude scene (censored) per episode. But the polices' argument was that, it's against the violation because nudity stimulates normal human being's desires to put their hands on teenagers.
  
  Good thing I'm into ane-chara.

  
  
  Porn can help give and/or stimulate fantasies, but if they're a sicko then it'll happen eventually, with or without help.
  
  Plus.. teenagers? Kids under 14, maybe 15 tops I can understand. But everybody 15+ should be more than capable enough to give consent. And if they really don't, then obviously it's rape. But otherwise that statutory rape crap is a load of shit.

  Real 15-year-old aren't as good as 15-year-old in To Love-Ru. They aren't stimulated because of the character being 15, its more like stimulated cause they just have that sexy appeal.
  
  Unless we are talking about serious Pedos like Lolicon

  This whole youngster sex paranoia business spreading around the world is actually caused by US-American conservative evangelisation efforts (mediately or immediately), and not by Korea. They're just succumbing to the increasing influence/pressure.

  I think it was AniPlus? A channel in South Korea that specializes in porting of on-air Japanese animes. They weren't able to port To Love-Ru Darkness because of this law (at least I heard that was the case).

  Mabinogi, it has been a fun few years.
  
  This law makes me sigh. The way it's been handled sounds like the the Nazi's and their "turn in a jew" campaign or something, except in this case it's "Turn in anyone who creates / distributes ecchi."
