Why do all the japanese games have blur on reproductive organs?

[darker246]

I mean it kinda defeats the purpose of porn or rather "adult" game, no? I mean what are they worried? If you already play a game or watch something where two people get naked and have sex than why bother with blurring??

Japanese anti-pornography laws.

Not only games, every single porn content is censored on japan

It's funny, because according to jap law, this can be repealed pretty much instantly. The problem is, because of japan tight-ass hierarchy and work ethics, not a single politician wants to appear as a pervert who wants uncensored porn.
So yeah, we are probably stuck with it for our life-time.

A law that was, admittedly, written 114 years ago and is pretty outdated by modern standards. There have been several political pushes, particularly in recent years, by the LibDems in Japan to get it ousted and in turn decensor porn/hentai.

Realistically it's probably not at the top of their list of priorities right now with COVID, them getting a new PM and what have you

I might be wrong, this is only what I've heard, but apparently it's because japanese people have so small sex organs that they have to artificially scale them up very much in post production, giving this blurry look.

Right I remember hearing about that fella and he did seem like the hero we need, but then the covid attacked and messed everything up. But it's as the other posters basically said; there is an old lame law that forbids genitals from showing thus the censor.

And as far as removing this law, as one expects you won't find many politicians willing to public touch this issue (even tough some may want to) because for all of japan weirdness they are still a very conservative nation so yeah...

I notice print works prefer bar censors and games are almost exclusively mosaic censors. Why is that?
