Why is porn from Japan censored?

T4R? I never really understood this. It seems ridiculous since it is porn. Why would it need any censoring? What law dictates that it be blurred? It's ruined countless videos for countless people.

  • the US basically wrote all censorship laws in Japan from the occupation in the 1950s as we rewrote their constitution to be more like a mini-america. this included the then current censorship. in the 1960s, the US had a movement called "the sexual revolution". this did not happen in Japan (which has a negative birth rate, btw). they more or less have the exact same censorship laws as 1950s america did, and with only minor updates over the years. so when mainstream porn was officially legalized by a scotus verdict(IIRC, it involved the film "deepthroat" among others) that ruled that it is a legal distinction between actors depicting sexual acts and not people merely hired to perform said acts(prostitution), and classified it thinly as art under the first amendment, this also did not happen in Japan. which is why mosiacs and tentacles/phallic substitutes are somewhat popular in Japan.

      DerHollenhund got it, the American's banned it in the 50's when it was occupied and it was never decriminalized since no politician wanted to risk political suicide and being labeled a pervert. But remember, if it wasn't for the Americans trying to impose modesty then we might not have the massive quantities of hentai or tentacle porn we have today.

          Japs are weird. I don't have a good answer, but it looks like the Hell Dog does.

        • My scrambled understanding of it is this. If it's censored, it's not actually porn for them. Don't quote me on that though.
