    There are exceptions however. I forget exactly but think it was things like parental approval or being in an actual relationship etc. Anyways I think it's funny people rag on Japan over that while over here Mexico's national age of consent is 12 though again there are some oolies. Canada used to be 14 not that long ago

    Random Image Thread XLIII: We were always renegades

    I would think Japan catches more shit because of blatant jailbait manga. I remember reading where it was proposed to be outlawed, or at least kept out of public sight, and it was met with a lot of resistance lol.

    They banned real stuff a few years ago. Which is part of why they were getting so much shit cause I believe if the sex was legal filming it was as well or something. Which makes sense in the confines of your own country less so when it easily goes out to other countries and ends being a mess.

    As far as manga goes that was basically the UN going hey gaiz we don't care who you actually diddle over there but you better ban drawings that we subjectively think look too young for our sense of decency. And a lot of Japanese people were like dude fictional characters don't have an age...and for that matter manga/anime styles make them look younger to begin with. Well and some fired back with stuff like yeah sure we have loli manga but you guys actually have real child molester problems so fix your own country first or mocked our at least from their perspective complete lack of gun control. Plus I'm sure part of the resistance is from the fact that manga is a several billion dollar a year industry

    The UN or the US?

    If the latter it makes me laugh a bit since our firearm industry is somewhere in the 35 billion/year. The closest Japan can get to guns is confined airshit ranges and...manga. Upotte!!!, Black Lagoon, Jormungand, Golgo 13, etc.

    It is quite ironic that the kings of well-known pedo rings of the highest order are attempting to rule over the island of limited fantasy pedo consumption.

    "Buff the middle class." is exactly why MMOs start going to shit faster than they should. Never fixing the underlying problems, only putting a new fresh coat of paint on a broken system.

    So what you're saying is that Hilary Clinton is Chains of Promathia, Bernie Sanders is Wings of the Goddess and Donald Trump is going free to play and shutting down the PS2 servers?

    If going F2P includes reverting back to 75 cap, then I think you could be onto something.

    I am not sure how that could work from a physical layer standpoint. The data has to travel from Googles servers to Comcast somehow.

    It was never great. Just deliciously addictive and with a twinge of nostalgia to keep you coming back for more.

    Much like America.

    The word "peering" rolled up into a big ball of made up shitwords does not an infographic make.

    I'm sure someone can explain the process more concisely, but the infographic was probably made to emphasize the level of access Google has compared to other businesses, not a lesson in how the intertubes work.
