Companies and the censorship law, what can we do to help?

[jamdan]

Japan is a weird country. Some of the lewdest things around are from Japan. Yet at the same time, they're pretty conservative socially. Things being censored isn't the reason they're not having kids though.

They aren't having kids because the social pressure to be successful vastly outweigh the pressure to have families. In fact, having kids will hurt their standings more likely than not because of how difficult it is to provide for them and other social expectations.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people there.

Japan's total numbers place it significantly outside the top 10, but suicide is nonetheless a serious concern there. Suicide is the leading cause of death in men between the ages of 20-44 and women between the ages of 15-34. The government has been active in intervention to decrease the risk of suicide, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Japanese men are twice as likely to commit suicide as their female counterparts, particularly after a divorce. Of particular concern is suicide among men who have recently lost their jobs and are no longer able to provide for their families. People are expected to stay married to a single person and stay on a single job for their entire life, and the pressure of this expectation can make a divorce or job loss feel like a failure.

Aokigahara Forest, at the base of Japan's Mount Fuji, is a hotspot for suicides, as hundreds of people go there each year to end their lives. Police regularly patrol the area for suicide victims and survivors.

Too much social pressure. Too much economic pressure. Equals no baby-making.

The Allies-imposed 1947 constitution abolished all forms of censorship, and the Japanese government has been cheerfully ignoring that for seventy-odd years. I don't think if "we just nuked two of your cities, do as we say" was effective that a bunch of internet randos with no leverage are going to get anywhere.

Why are we talking this so much about law when we can just erased the mosaics?

If you have this type of technology that's capable to do so, you'll be fucking rich in no time.

Bruh...you're really using me to defend censorship? Are you fucking serious?

I'll return you the question, are you fucking serious ? You wrote 3 lines, and everything you said is totally wrong...

Where the fuck did you saw me defending Japanese censoring ? It just pointed the stupidities in your argumentation, and the superficiality of your reasoning. This is something totally different, and it don't imply a support to censoring.

[...] even with all this they birth rate is going to shit and if they don't do something they'll be gone in 5 decades.

(Almost) only poor countries have a raising birth rate, and the reason behind Japan declining one have way more explanation than an imaginary castration. There's the ones already pointed by others, but the predominance of pornography, and easiness of sex access, is also part of them.
When you live an over stressed life, in an over populated country, on an over small home or a family shared one, the context is not prone to seek for creating a family on your own. If in the same time you have access to as many porn material as you want, and can have one night stand more easily than you can have a serious relationship, where is the surprise if your youths don't make babies ?
And just to be sure that you'll not say yet another stupidity, there's nothing in what I said that can be seen as an accusation against pornography.
