Yeah it's likely she or her agency feels compelled not to allow pics out. I imagine there's a huge liability issue if some of that makes its way back to Japan uncensored and they can point to a local person or agency. Unless you're up for a revolution, getting arrested and charged is no joke, and it's probably getting worse in the current environment.


But that's the thing, some of those videos were done outside of Japan, meaning her visible cooch is beyond reproach. I think it's just a matter of "we can't show it to Japanese disc buyers, so no one else gets to see."

So basically she can just sell her 3D-Printed vagina instead of distributing the digital files to avoid lawsuit? Japan sure has the law upside down.

This is the most bass-ackwards legal distinction I have ever seen.

Does anyone know if sex toys shaped like the actual things are banned in Japan?


No, which makes her arrest even more ridiculous and arbitrary. When it comes to their obscenity laws, Japan (specifically, certain politicians in Japan) really needs to join the 21st century and accept that there is nothing wrong with adults being able to see uncensored genitalia (nothing is going to happen to "the children"). Rolling Eyes


well someone doesnt know how much sexual images can fudge a kids life up by making them into some kind of nymphomaniac psychopath,
kids these days are real moronic and they soak shit up like a carpet.... and then theyre stained for good.
Maybe when people are less stupid obscurities like this can be more accepting of, but not now, that would be bad, maybe in 30-100 years.... hopefully.

I do find this quite amusing considering that festivals, but I'm mean really...it's bad enough that adult manga has such restrictions and it's hilarious watching the manga artist attempt (if at all) to cover it up. Black stripe here, a slash of ink here, done it's covered. But are folks really that alarmed at seeing a giant vagina let a alone a giant penis?

Really? I bet you never played any game or watch cartoon or anime when you was little. Or else, you must be a violent magic-user criminal right now. Or were you a genius right after when you're born, that you called kids these days moronic?

I know I'm going against the prevailing view here but I thought that the police did the right thing in arresting this woman. To me,I don't think that was necessary. A 3D version of her genitalia is something I don't want to see anywhere,at any time.

Umm, please think about what you are suggesting... the beauty of a society that allows free expression is that you have the right to see or not see her 3d genitalia. Rather than leave that decision up to the police and/or government, it would be infinitely better to make that an individual decision. (As is the case in most of these senseless censorship cases.)

To madchester5,

I have thought about it. And I stand by my original statement. Most people shouldn't see her genitalia. If you want to see it,I'm not going to stop you but please,don't try to drag me to your level. We need some standards. This,to me,isn't what I want to see.

Signed,
Snomaster1

I agree with madchester5.
No one's forcing you to see it. No one's forcing anyone to see it. She just put the 3D file in her own specific site which is all about vagina (and she only gave the file to the people contributing to her vagina-related project), so people will only go to the site if they have interest in her works. It's not like she put it in public display so the whole world must see what she did.

I don't see how it's harmful. I don't think police should interfere, let alone arresting her. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that you have the right to ban other people to see it. It's like forbidding delicious steak because baby can't chew it.

Also, were you implying that madchester5 is a lowly human who likes to see people genitalia? Saying things like "don't drag me to your level" basically says it all, and I don't see him/her forcing his/her standard on you.

What the hell are you even talking about? Making this illegal is the epitome of stopping people from seeing it. And nobody saying it shouldn't be illegal is in any way forcing you to look at it. You're advocating forcing your beliefs on what should be seen on others and yet inexplicably acting like the reverse is true.

Damn. I really want to live in a world where people don't get so weird about genitals. Holy hell, it's just a freaking vagina. It's a body structure that people have.

If you don't want to see it then that's your problem; don't look at it.

Snomaster: "She should be arrested because I can't handle it even though it's not forced upon me or publicly displayed."

There's really no other way to interpret this. I'm so sick of this ancient Victorian law screwing so much shit up, it has no place existing in this century. Even the Victorians could likely appreciate a well drawn genital in fine art, I don't know what Japan's problem was in 1907.

^Hell, it's a body structure that most humans were literally born from!

What bothers me most about this is the double standard. If she were a man who specialized in phallic art, I doubt the authorities would have a problem with it.
