If they needed a bit of perspective they should take a trip to visit the gay pride parade on Castro Street in SF. They'll see they have nothing to complain about here.

Before people start talking about double standards, I'd like to point out that what Igarashi did is called "civil disobedience". It's an act of performing illegal activities and drawing public attention to it in order to also draw attention to the problems associated with the matter. In this case, censorship laws.
Civil disobedience leaves no choice to the police: since the person itself has made it a public affair and called attention to it, it's a challenge. The police have no choice but to follow the letter of the law; they don't make up the rules, after all. You COULD, of course, also drum up attention to the fact that by the same law this local tradition is also illegal. But would that really result in the government changing the censorship law, or just cause the festival to be deemed illegal? (Though to be nitpicky it's not actually the exact SAME law; what Igarashi was arrested for was sending 3D data to people who had backed her project financially. That was considered "selling uncensored images of sexual organs", which is illegal.) Last edited by ptj_tsubasa on Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:14 pm; edited 1 time in total |

With the festival held on public grounds and cellphones with cameras being so ubiquitous, good luck... |

It's Japan; A mini-EMP wouldn't be out of the question.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to learn that inappropriate behavior has been going on around a giant penis.

Well...That's one way of celebrating the midst of Spring season...
Too bad that the folks won't be able to bring home any souvenir photos of this Fertility Festival...but when the police are out of options to maintain order, well...what other [lawful] options do they have left besides forbidding cameras to the event?

I wonder what happened to garner this change. I tell you it's always a bunch of idiots that ruin stuff for everyone. The do stupid crap that draws attention and viola! Let's remove this and remove that. Oh well.

Japan should really get with the rest of the world and change that stupid genital censoring law.

Well, we know there's still going to be people doing it under the covers, so they've only attended to the tip of the issue.
