Geez, I already hate this country and now they’re making me hate it more.

I have just visited Sankaku Complex (which is more family-friendly that Baka-Raptor) this morning for my daily anime digest, when I stumbled upon a dismaying news: Philippines Bans Loli.

[OMGWTFBBQSTFUWHATTHEF*CKAREYOUDOING?!]

Now this is a rant worth talking about.

As most may have known about me, besides being a former Blogging mercenary, I’m Filipino, and despite that, I hated being one (school girls’ skirts here aren’t short enough, economy sucks like hell, and it’s friggin’ hot most of the time). I tried getting out of the country only be stopped by mom (who really treats me much of a baby)… sad reality.

So yeah, I stumbled upon the news of Philippines banning loli. I never bothered worrying on progressive countries with the status of hentai on their side. Some had already been passing bills, like in Japan for lolicon stuff, and it’s being passed in America. It’s depressing hearing guys from those countries who happen to fap on these stuff, say how unfair it is having their tool for ‘happy time’ taken away, I got a bit concerned, especially for those guys moving against the banning of these stuff and fighting to keep them legal.

Let’s take a look at the statement shall we?

“Hentai, the Japanese pornographic cartoon that depicts children in explicit sexual activity, is considered child pornography material and one may be severely penalized by just mere possession of it.

A bill banning this pornographic cartoon was approved recently by the Joint House Committees on Justice and Welfare of Children chaired by Rep. Matias Defensor (3rd District, Quezon City) and Rep. Monica Prieto-Teodoro (1st District, Tarlac), respectively.

Prieto-Teodoro, one of the authors of the measure, said the bill penalizes the offenders who sell, offer, advertise, and promote child pornography; and have been found to possess, download, purchase, reproduce, or make available child pornography materials with the intent of selling or distributing them.

Prieto-Teodoro said child pornography material refers to the means and methods in which a child carries out pornography.

“It can be in forms of visual depiction, audio representation and written text or materials that advocate explicit sexual activity with a child,” Prieto-Teodoro said.

She explained that the said images of real and indistinguishable children in films, digital images or computer images, whether made or produced electronically or mechanically; drawings, cartoons, sculptures or paintings depicting children in an explicit sexual activity are just some of the visual depictions considered as child pornography materials.

Rep. Darlene R. Antonino-Custodio (1st District, South Cotabato) another author of the bill to be known as the “Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009″, said the Internet which is used for gaining knowledge is being used by some as a medium to gratify sexual desire.

“Once the picture of child victim is flashed either on the Internet or video clip, the picture is open for the entire world to see. The child loses his or her privacy and innocence which can never be restored,” Antonino-Custodio said.

“Adults indulging in child pornography either by purchasing, viewing or producing them, should be subjected to the most severe punishments,” Antonino-Custodio said.

Under the bill, child pornography refers to any representation of a child below 18 years of age, engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child primarily for sexual purposes.”

Firstly, I hate it when people equalize Anime to the likes of cartoons (see how I capitalized Anime?). They’re never the same thing and screw those who think so; they’re cunts. That goes to hentai too, it’s not pornographic cartoon for fuck-sakes.

I’m so sorry Nagato-sama, but I can’t help but get involved in this, since it’s happening right on my own lawn.

Here we go again, imbecile law makers try to protect people preemptively, thinking that these stuff are the reason why pedophiles go off and rape little girls. BUT THEY’RE NOT! Neither lolicon nor hentai in general doesn’t make people rape other people. If someone’s gonna rape somebody, he/she will eventually do it anyway, even if we don’t say hentai made him/her do it.

You Filipino law makers think you’re all smart just because you finished Law. Geezers. If you’re in our shoes, you’ll be as pissed off as me.

They maybe right that lolicon is a form of child pornography, I agree with that, but THIS:

“Hentai, the Japanese pornographic cartoon that depicts children in explicit sexual activity..”

People who are supposed to be smart go about and try to sound stupid. It is true that hentai does depict people doing sexual activity, BUT just because it’s hentai doesn’t mean it depicts children doing sexual activity. Just look at those 60’s pornographic comics (I call them old-man porn). Characters shown at that time actually look like adults. In fact, they are adults!

Looky here, Teodoro and Defensor. People need porn, and I’m gonna tell you why.

Yep, that’s right. Porn was created so that people who don’t have partners to have sex with won’t go off and start raping other people. Here’s the thing: If ever this law gets passed, and you ban hentai for that matter, the crime rates will go up, because such people who dig hentai won’t have a form of release.

Cultural critic Hiroki Azuma said that very few readers of lolicon manga commit crimes. In the otaku culture, lolicon is the “most convenient [form of rebellion]” against society.

Milton Diamond and Ayako Uchiyama observe a strong correlation between the dramatic rise of pornographic material in Japan from the 1970s onwards and a dramatic decrease in reported sexual violence, including crimes by juveniles and assaults on children under 13. They cite similar findings in Denmark and West Germany. In their summary, they state that the concern that countries with widespread availability of sexually explicit material would suffer increased rates of sexual crimes was not validated; and that the reduction of sexual crimes in Japan during that period may have been influenced by a variety of factors they had described in their study.

See what I mean? At that point, I trusted Wikipedia.

Rep. Darlene R. Antonino-Custodio (1st District, South Cotabato) another author of the bill to be known as the “Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009″, said the Internet which is used for gaining knowledge is being used by some as a medium to gratify sexual desire.

Darlene, such a thing as trying to stop people from downloading porn through the internet is utterly futile. I’d like to see the higher ups look helpless with stopping this.

The Catholic Church is another culprit to this nonsense, with Philippines still being overrun by the church. Bunch of pencil-pushers.

I’m getting really sick of seeing the people’s voices and opinions getting crushed because the group being oppressed isn’t large enough or Christian enough.

Onii-chan

I’m not trying to be righteous here, I’m just flagging otaku freedom here. Feel free to try and arrest me.

And finally to finish this fracas, I’d like some networks in my country  to make a documentary on this topic, especially to you GMA Network, I dig your documentaries.

I’d say this one last time: I’m a lolicon, and I’m not afraid to say it. I’m against the anti-lolicon bill, and I’m not afraid to fight.

Before I leave, to those guys making that bill, TAKE THIIIISSSSS!!!
