The full Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly has rejected the bill to restrict sexualized depictions of "nonexistent youths" on Wednesday. The bill would have amended Tokyo's existing Youth Healthy Development Ordinance, which already prohibits the sale of "harmful publications" to minors younger than 18 years old.
Under the bill, the category of "harmful publications" would have encompassed sexual depictions of "nonexistent youths" ? such as in manga, anime, games, and other materials. It would also designate material that deal with "anti-social acts" of sexual nature, such as rape and incest, as "harmful publications."
The General Affairs Committee of the assembly had already voted against the bill on Monday. Ishihara and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Office for Youth Affairs and Public Safety had originally pushed for the bill's passage in March, but it met resistance from manga creators and authors who said that it infringed on the freedom of expression. 1,421 manga creators, 10 publishing companies, the Japan Pen Club, the Japan Cartoonists Association, and the Writers Guild of Japan voiced their opposition to the bill.
Whilst vote-grubbing politicians might temporarily be silenced by the rejection, the forces behind the ban, including Tokyo?s crazed ultra-right governor Ishihara and donation-grubbing cultist Agnes Chan, remain in place and likely to launch further attacks on material they regard as immoral, should they see an opening. <---- Hope They don't see a Opening and Stop or Give up about Banning it. Its kinda Useless
