You know how much this upsets me, but still, I applaud you for it.

This is fuckin' weird.

Well, it is a time for great innovation.

Woohoo! I made a Deus Ex joke without making the obvious one! Oh, and I read that in Adam Jensen's voice.

Japan has really weird censorship policies. It makes no sense ._.

 

[gphjr14]

Japan really?
Of all places a country known for animated rape and tentacle porn has a law against the depiction of a penis.

Also the Kanamara Matsuri is a annual festival centered around a large penis.

Again really Japan?

Blame the west. We introduced the censorship laws back when Japan was occupied after WW2. Even though that stuff is over, censorship over pornography rarely gets removed once the law is in place. So really, I can blame you for this.

Yeah you can blame me since I was there in post WWII Japan.
Also Japan was known as being socially conservative before WWII. Women would tie their legs together before committing suicide so they wouldn't reveal themselves.

Also Soviet Russia was very conservative now they make a crap load of porn. Took a Russian Sociology class and the professor studied during its transition from communism. Porn used to be sold by street vendors out in the open just like souvenirs and food vendors.

See, Saint's Row 3, I told you that you can't impress Japan with a lame giant purple dildo. It's so boring they're censoring it.
It HAS to be a multipenis dildo, tentacle monster thing in order to slip under the radar.

Unless it's mindfucking on at least 3 different levels, it's going to be censored >:C

Saints Row 3 Dildo Smoothed Out in Japan

So rape by tentacle penis monster is allowed but dildo isn't, Japan you get weirder and weirder!

 

[dthree]

pixelating it would of looked cool

This! It would have made fun of Japan's uneven censorship and at the same time made it quite clear what the weapon actually was.

In the same way I can blame the entire country for the actions of a few, yes, I will blame you =D
And I never said it doesn't happen - just that it doesn't happen often. Though that might just be in Europe/North America to be fair. Thanks for educating me though, I shall try to do you proud by someday using your facts as dinner conversation.

Actually if i remember it correctly, tentacle porn is the product of said law. Yes it's a strange law, but then again Japan is full of strange things. It's one of those cultures i don't even hope to ever understand.

 

[Don Savik]

Japan is sexually immature, I'm sorry. Depictions of raping schoolgirls are fine, but you draw the line at a penis sword in a M RATED GAME!?!?!!

Son, I am dissapoint.

 

[Tempest13]

This is fuckin' weird.

A Giant Purple Dick?

Spoiler

OT: If FOX doesn't say anything about there even BEING a giant purple dildo, I think that means they've stopped caring about video games corrupting youth.

Does that mean we win?

 

[Micalas]

Fun fact: Hentai exists because while they can show female parts they forbid male parts and that's how tenticles got involved. Yes I am sick for knowing that.

*buzzer*

Wrong! As it is now, legally the Japanese porn distrubutors only have to cover as much as the glans on a man's penis. There's a bit more of a gray area for the vagina. It's usually completely mosaic'd though.

As for "tentacle porn," the first known iteration of it was a woodblock print in 1814 called "Dream of a Fisherman's Wife" in 1814, before the Meiji Restoration that led to modern day Japan with it's current censorship laws.

Another fun fact. Cartoon porn is what the west thinks of when we hear hentai. In Japan, it simply means pervert.

THE MOAR YOU KNOW!

Japan frightened of huge American phallus.

Japan Pull Off a Dick Move

The puns! They are so strong! Can't...resist.....*passes out laughing*

Gods bless you and your pun-fu.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Dude, Japan has no right to censor anything. Hell, look at this monstrosity. LOOK AT IT!

My... my brain... it appears to have suffered some form of death at a molecular level. I can feel the very seams of reality itself unravelling...

Its not just one. Yes, they are equal-opportunity genital paraders, and have ones for vaginas too.

I dread to think what novelty headgear they wear on their faces for THAT festival...

 

[K_Dub]

That's certainly curious. I definitely wouldn't have pegged Japan as the place to draw the line, but to each their own I suppose.

 

[coolman9899]

Ummm what colour is your skin... Surly not purple

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

You'd think it'd be the country to welcome this giant dildo into their gaming world. I'm sure it would provide lots of interesting fan fic for those who're into that sort of thing.

I really didn't expect them to want to smooth anything out, and if they had to censor it they could just change the shape a bit (into tentacle) and keep the floppyness then relable it as The Otherworldly Sub-way Rapist.

I'm sure it would've been a great hit!

 

[otakon17]

So they are ok with tentacle porn and borderline child molestation but giant purple dicks cross the line. Is there something you want to tell us japan?

It's not even a giant purple dick. It's a stick that looks like a dick. I don't get it either...

 

[Jegsimmons]

so a dildo used for humor sake is a no-no in japan....but a viral video of two girls taking an octopus and ******** ** ** ***** ***** *** ******* ** ** *** *** ** ** ***** **** *** ****** ** **** *** ****** is OK?

Dude, Japan has no right to censor anything. Hell, look at this monstrosity. LOOK AT IT!

I .. uh ... wha?? ...... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT @_@?????

japan makes me want to kill myself....im so confused......i feel violated...

 

[Mr.Squishy]

But...Japan has an annual penis festival where they celebrate the penis. I don't understand.

Spoiler

Also, I think my character will look exactly like that picture.

Sweet mother of mercy, Freud would have a field day with these people.
