These days on Swedish TV there is an issue about Manga and pornographic photos/illustations.
In Sweden children should not be exposed in illustations in any way of being sexually abused, or can be viewed as child pornography.
As we know manga comes from Japan and people who are oppose this says that Manga is about fantasy, not the real world. What manga means is so different from what people believe when they see this images. Still the law says: fantasy or not it's still something we can picture with our eyes. and what's shown is children in pornographic images!
However to compare a real situation and a "cartoon" isn't that to go abit over boarder?
I do understand what they mean and some are really too much! But I also feel sad for all the children who have gone through being sexually abused and that some are comparing what they have gone through with a "cartoon".
Something should be done, but is this the right way?
One of the issues they have not draw attention to, is that now people will believe that Japanese people says it's okay with child pornographic photos etc.
I hope people will not judge, but sadly enough most will will.
I wish that they news would tell more about manga, itself! and more about the Japanese culture and society. I can agree that some of the Japanese mangas are toooooo erotic but for many that's the only way for them to get some action XD
And for you who know the Japanese society you also know why they express themselves in manga!!
