Anonymous1: Why do we waste everyone's time with this stupid censorship on otherwise decent artwork? Who is it that's so afraid that if they see an unpixellated dick, they'll immediately turn gay or something?
Sharkjumper: @Anonymous: I think it's required by Japanese law or something, and Pixiv is a Japan based website.
As for why Japan has those laws...I dunno.
GrosserKurfurst: @Sharkjumper: They want to pretend they're a moral society, even with onaholes with the faces of lolis in the box being sold in stores.
Deskjet23: @GrosserKurfurst: It's not that, the law that forbids any depiction of genitals is some old-ass law from back when Japan was still occupied by the US, and so far no politician has bothered to bring this up and change it. So, as always, all problems can be traced back to Americans.
