>"In November 2017, police found DVDs with footage of naked girls in their early teens in Watsuki's Tokyo office.

Tf why isn't this nigga blacklisted for being a pedo why is he still allowed to serialize and make money on his manga?

>>281361640 (OP)
Cause cp was legal to own until 2016 and was all commercially produced stuff that was previously legal to sell so it wasnt seen as a big deal
Also he's famous so no one cares

There are no other crimes that it is illegal to watch or have footage of.

>>281361640 (OP)
The 90s anime was better than the manga and the remake because they made Misao a main character for the anime original arcs even if it made no sense for her to be there, they spammed the shit out of her in season 3 (even including her alongside the main cast in the OPs and EDs) and I liked that, I also liked that most of the anime original villains were ridiculously overpowered that they actually gave Kenshin a run for his money and beat the shit out of him a lot, the fact that most of the anime original villains died is also a plus as in the manga most of the villains get off too easy or without so much as a scratch

It was legal when he bought it so he didn't go against the law

It was a gut punch when he was found out because there was barely any fanservice in the Kenshin manga, and no loli content. The one fanservice character was Yumi, a mature adult woman with big tits.

>During a investigation, the authorities came across information indicating that the 47-year-old Watsuki (whose birth name is Nobuhiro Nishiwaki) had purchased videos featuring naked 15-year-old or younger girls (the Japanese term used in the report is juudai zenhan, which can refer to any age between 10 and 15). A subsequent search of Watsuki’s Tokyo office and home resulted in the discovery of approximately 100 DVDs and CDs which were seized by the police.
>Watsuki has admitted to being in possession of the material, telling the police “I liked girls between the ages of upper elementary school students to about the second year of junior high.” Elementary school lasts six years in the Japanese school system, making second-year junior high students either 13 or 14 years old.

>>281362322
The law was changed to possession being illegal, which I'm not really sure how it's legally able to be done to just retroactively void someone's legitimate purchase (that was taxed) but whatever.

People need to realize the way he was caught:
He found out it was illegal at some point (because most people don't keep up with all the laws being made continuously), and contacted his lawyer on the best way to dispose of it. Then the lawyer turned him in due to mandatory reporting laws or something to that effect idk the specifics of Japanese practicing requirements.
Then he was prosecuted for literally trying to do the right thing.

The lesson that needs to be learned from all this, and this applies to most people across all walks of life: learn to shut up.

>>281362961
Ironically there's the biggest producer of cp are the children (more aptly teens) themselves taking selfies and whatever else. Having a naked picture of YOURSELF is illegal if you're under the age of majority, let alone sending it to a (similiarly aged) lover because kids do relationships at puberty and don't wait for a magic birthday to roll around.

>>281363560
same thing happened in the USA in ~1980

>>281363560
Yeah I remember it was him asking advice on how to handle the stuff that did him in.

>>281362376
I agree. Kenshin would've totally benefited from some loli content and that asshole was holding out on us the whole time

>>281363560
>The lesson that needs to be learned from all this, and this applies to most people across all walks of life: learn to shut up.
He likely only got off with the fine due to his attempt to dispose of it.
Had he kept it and it was then discovered, unless he kept payment records, it would likely be treated as purchases made after the law was enacted with harsher penalties.

Watsuki is a pedophile but I won't pretend like that makes Kenshin bad

>>281362926
Kubo just loves big tiddies and asses.

Do you guys think someone would go to hell for looking at cp? Also does Watsuki have a wife? Did she leave him after he got caught with cp?

>>281362926
Not gonna lie that’s pretty fucking based.

>>281362851
I’m surprised even togashi drew one considering his back problems and feminist leaning views.

>>281364091
Idk if it says anything about that it just seems like it would really piss off God. A big nono.

>>281364119
Jesus Christ died for our sins. He can be forgiven if he repents.

>>281364119
If you'd have read the Bible you'd know that god gets pissed at the weirdest shit and you've likely done some of the stuff that god smites people for in the old testament. Nobody strictly follows the Bible and if you considered everything, most of humanity would likely be going to hell.

Who know he isn't? The cops probably keep some tabs on him.
>why is he still allowed to serialize and make money on his manga?
Because a man has to work and he didn't abused anyone, his crime was possession. That's not enough reason to lock someone up and throw the key.

>>281363389
Yes.

>>281361640 (OP)
Because it was legal content 3 years before getting caught, he also got "caught" because he wanted to get rid of it, it was also no CP but teen gravure, now fuck off to xitter newfag

No. You have to live with the special feelings of any loved departed inside you. Because one day you will return to nothing, just like it was before you were born so it's not like you will feel anything when you're dead. Just enjoy life to the fullest.

Because different countries have different values and history.

Obviously they still think its bad, but Japan never went through an anti-pedo craze in the same way that Americans did that paint pedophilia as the ultimate crime.

Instead they think drug use is the ultimate evil and blacklist people for that instead because that's their history, to the confusion of westerners who don't understand why actors from Yakuza games keep getting face replaced in games because they smoked weed or something.

>>281363046

>He can´t separate art from artist

He may be a shit person but Kenshin is still great and that´s that. Just like Michael Jackson music is still good or Woody Allen movies are still good. Heck, it´s very likely that at least half of Hollywood is on the Epstein list. Morality is just irrelevant when it comes to skill or talent.

"I want to do the right thing" is laudable, but when the system is twisted in such a way as to punish people for doing the right thing, it's no surprise these things happen.
It's like reporting a child in an abusive home to CPS (child protective services for non americans). The sad truth is that by taking the child(ren) to a foster home you just increased their chances of being abused in worse ways many more times over.

>>281364039
Hell implies religious connotation, specifically Christian. The only "unforgivable sin" if I recall correctly is blaspheming the holy spirit. cp is jst porn the same as any other porn.
It's a social thing right now but even as far as 30 years ago it was no big deal. People used to post it all the time on this very site.
There's nothing worse with cp than standard rape.
>but they get hurt!
Rape usually isn't gentle either.

>did his wife leave him?
1) Why do you care
2) unfavorable porn use is less damaging to relationships than debt or cheating or other things. It can be resolved simply with "uh, will you stop?" "...sure".

>>281364119
>It seems like
You're projecting your values onto God.
The entire existence of sin itself is due to people not having the same values or desires as God.
I"m not saying God approves, simply that just because you feel X about thing Y doesn't mean God does.

>>281363046
if he didnt care he wouldnt do it.

>>281363046
So what he usually does? Unless every tribute he doesn't put effort on has a secret message behind...

How come he doesn't have any good loli characters in his work if he's a so called pdfile?

Some of my favorite novelists were collaborationists or anti semites (Céline, Drieu La Rochelle, even Hamsun).
I enjoy their art and their world views in general, but I have to admit they were absolute retards in anything involving politics, race or history. They were retarded in how they conducted themselves like lunatics when society as a whole denounced them.
Drieu la Rochelle got work from Jorge Luis Borges, some of his friends tried to calm him down, etc. yet he kept writing these insane shit until everyone just told him to fuck off. Guy ended up killing himself, obviously.

So, yeah, you defended the nazis and now the whole world spits in your direction. Boo-hoo, what the fuck did they expect.

I only recently realized that Kokushibo is supposed to be Kenshin.

>>281364948
It's the truth though. He was a weirdo, but all pedophilia accusations about him were false by people who just wanted money. There's more proofs in favor than against him.

correct, consider CP is essentially evidence of a crime. and they insist it's a crime to possess evidence of a crime, because it might make someone's dick hard.
one you realize this, you will realize it's not about protecting children. it's about punishing unsavory people. that's the society we live in.

Reminder that girls can have babies as soon as they have their first period aka anytime as soon as 8 years old to 12 years old.
The original succubus is described as a slutty little girl who knows what she is doing in seducing men.

>>281365577
When you put it like that, it's like modern lawfare is trying to erase the public's awareness of true supernatural evil and how to deal with it.

>>281365577
If you want to put it that way, reminder that for most of history puberty was roughly around 14 and its the adulteration of our food supply which has decreased its onset.

>>281365778
>the adulteration of our food supply
more likely the human body simply enters puberty earlier because of enhanced nutrition.
for most of human history humans were not getting enough vittles. puberty is an extremely energy intensive process, so the body will try to delay puberty if it thinks the body is not sufficiently nourished.

is the original kenshin anime worth watching? 100 eps is a lot to commit to

>>281364450
That literally showcases far more effort retard.
The usage of water, the majority of lines actually being consistent and not half-assed, the three-dimensionality given to her, this is a far better drawing.

back to twitter, sis

>>281362184
Well recording this crime and purchasing or watching the creation incentivizes the people creating it to make more, thus you are indirectly contributing to the crime. Makes sense that it'd be illegal.

>>281362926
Also Araki

Someone talks about the mental gymnastics from western social media, and now you're seeing that same shit right here.

>>281365997
Yes. There's a lot of silly fillers and they didn't adapt the last arc of the manga, but the OST is god tier and when it's good, it's really good.

While you would be correct if we were talking about "for most of human history", when the comparison point is a mere few decades ago, that point of contention vanishes.

>>281366038
Maybe you should go back to /v/ for making the five billionth Watsuki thread where you specifically talk about things that you saw on twitter.

>>281363560
That's not what happened at all. The law was changed to make the videos illegal to sell in 2014, but they intentionally left them legal to own until 2015. Basically, they gave people 1 one-year grace period to legally dispose of the videos without penalty.

Watsuki was caught with the videos in 2017, He made no attempt to dispose of the videos. The police were working on a larger crackdown on child porn and got a tip that Watsuki was a frequent buyer, so they raided his house and found the videos.

>>281365778
There were many women who had kids before 14.
The reason they didn't have them sooner was due to the common laws and parental restrictions but they were capable of having kids as soon as 10 years old in medieval britain.

>>281362184
>>281366249
Snuff films are also illegal. And it's not just child porn; it's broadly illegal to create, distribute, and possess pornography of any nonconsensual sexual act. Like you can make porn where people pretend to be raped, but you can't actually rape someone, film it, and sell the video. Owning the video would also be illegal.

>>281366367
How does that affect anyone? I'm sure people jerk off to rape videos and yet those aren't illegal as far as I'm aware.
>>281366515
Are they?
>create
Obviously that's going to be illegal. Do you have any news stories of people being arrested for possessing/watching snuff or rape videos? I don't see how snuff is any different than any of the thousands of videos of murders or anything. You can go on /pol/ and find tons of videos of murders and the like.

>>281366447

there's no real logic to criminalizing possession of cp, it's not like the govt is deleting this massive trove of evidence because it's illegal. it's purely a feels over logic thing.

>cp is jst porn the same as any other porn
There's a massive fucking difference between "CP" of teen gravure and innocent pictures of kids in the tub and CP of filming kids getting raped by elites.

>>281366609
I was wrong, possession of adult rape films is apparently really hard to prosecute. Even if you're caught with it, you can claim you didn't know the rape was real and thought everyone was just acting and there's no way prove otherwise. With child porn, you don't need to prove the owner knew that the material was illegal, because all sexual content is with child is automatically illegal.

So even if it's technically on the books somewhere that you can't possess videos of real rape, it's almost impossible to prosecute so mostly nobody bothers trying to do so.

>>281366999
I don't see what your post has to do with anything when it's all considered the same in terms of the law (not to mention some people wanting to treat drawings in the same way). And that also doesn't say anything about how it being illegal makes any sense when footage of other crimes either aren't illegal at all or are impossible to prosecute like >>281367014 is saying.

>>281367014
Although this is true, there are many states now where "ex-gf" porn is made illegal, so the standard is much lower to the point of "she said so". That said, sites like motherless or whatever won't bother taking them down until their contacted so it's quite a different thing.

>>281366999
I agree, but legally (and to the hysterical ones frothing at the mouth for a new modern day witch hunt) there isn't.

No, it was never legal. It just a stupid loophole of not being prosecuted for the possession. But it was patched in 2014 and even with the grace period to dispose the material without consequences Watsuki decided to keep all of them.

Not that the West is an example of logic and justice but it amazes me how in Japan being caught with weed or dating (if you're an idol) ruins your life and career forever, while storing CP earns you tributes (Watsuki recently received one).

Not true. There are lots of videos that are illegal to have. Like footage spying on the inside of someone else's home. People get arrested for planting hidden cameras in changing rooms and shit.
Then there's stuff like Revenge Porn laws which is similar to CP in that the victim doesn't want the video floating around freely.
Hell, it's not even legal to own a normal movie without the permission of the owners.

>>281367239

The US didn't have an age of consent until relatively recently. Even now most of Europe's is still ~16. For most of -modern- western civilization it was basically "whatever' as long as it wasn't rape.

Roughly a hundred years ago the big moral no no was drinking alcohol as it was illegal. While I do agree with that one, things change. Don't dwell on it so much or you'll end up like England needing to submit your photo ID to access websites because there may be a picture of a breast on there and THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

>>281368313
No I'll stick around here instead, thank you.

>>281367390
How did weed get so penalized in Japan? They have no problems with tobacco and alcohol.
In the west weed got penalized so heavily because the republicans wanted to stop the pot smoking hippies from voting. Same reason they eliminated tuition free colleges which were prevalent before Reagan.

>>281367717
Shamanic Princess and Jungle de Ikou were original OVAs, not adaptations. Birdy did get 25 episodes reinterpreting the original manga.

>>281368360
I'll never understand this mentality that we need to save the children from seeing boobs.
I grew up watching porn since I was like 12 years old.
You don't need an age limit on porn. The age limit is built in. It's called puberty. Kids don't care about seeing it before then and after puberty they're ready for it.
Over half the population is having sex before 18. So why can't the other half jerk off?

>>281366770
The logic is that illegally produced cp gets produced because people are willing to buy it, which means these people make others create more cp.

Obviously doesn't apply in the Watsuki case, since all the "cp" (it was really just junior model nudes and shit) was completely legally produced.

>>281367668
Mai is an older character than her and probably the inspiration.

It's not a serious crime in Japan. People legitimately don't care and don't have pedo hysteria over there.

>>281368482
They'll see society get worse instead of better because of these ID laws and then insist the laws remain in place because it was never about making life better for anyone.

>>281368482
You see, back in the day you would be working proper by the time you hit 15 unless you were seeking higher education, usually to be a researcher or a specialized job that required that education.

But regulations created in the past 50 years to prevent young people from taking spots in the workforce from older and less productive people fucked up society in multiple ways and now you're expected to put your whole life on hold until you're done with college and loaded with debt. Of course, the rest of the regulations had to be changed too to fit this new cutoff point of adulthood and that's how we got here.

>>281368482
>I grew up watching porn since I was like 12 years old.
And now you are here posting on the vietnamese weaving basket forum. It seems that there are some real reason behind those age limits.

>>281362456
Ki was a thing since the series start

The same logic would apply just in regards to legally produced stuff instead of black market stuff. Although even then there would likely be some crossover.

>>281368482
>I'll never understand this mentality that we need to save the children from seeing boobs.
>I grew up watching porn since I was like 12 years old.
And see where that landed you: on 4chan.
Most normal people want to save their children from ending up on 4chan

>>281368698
You forgot:
>I can work my ass off and live like a dog...
>I can just get some free handouts from the government and live like a dog.
And people don't get why the system is broken. The dream of social ascension must at least be believable to convince people to work.

>>281368707
Yeah, but in the case of illegal cp, it's mostly actual child rape shit. The kind of legal stuff Watsuki has was just mild nudity that wasn't hurting anyone.

>>281368482
>Over half the population is having sex before 18
It's only a third now. Could this in any way be connected to the current generation growing up with pornography? Naah, no way

>>281368482
Have ever wondered why you're here?

>>281368805
No, you retarded roastie. It's because getting involved with women now might end up being a fucking trap. Even lesbians have it rough.

>>281368482
Pornography fucks your head if you get into it at a young age and use it to cope.

>>281361739
He said he liked 13 years old, not as young as other pedos, but still really fucking young for a man in his 47s like Watsuki

>>281368435
Probably because the assumption that everyone that everyone that smokes it is giving money to yakuza or is one themselves. Sorta like people with tattoos.

>>281368759
I assiduously stayed away from porn until I was 18 and I'm here too now.

>>281368805
I'm more inclined to think it's the rise of helicopter parenting that prevents kids from finding a moment alone.
When I was a kid our parents just shoved us out the door and told us to come back when the street lights turned on.
Now they'll take your kid away if you let them walk to the gas station to buy a candy bar.

>>281368762
This is a big part of what westfags don't understand. They read that Watsuki was arrested for "cp" and assume it was amateur videos of adults raping 8 year olds instead of professionally and legally produced videos of 13 year olds showing their tits.
Kind of a big difference.

>>281362223
what is the highest quality version of Rurouni Kenshin anime?

>>281368880
They also didn't know the fact that alot of those CP were foreign made. Legally made as well, at that time.

Explain South Korea next. Good luck with that one.

>>281368880
But not enough to make it ok.

>>281367662
Everyone knows that already anon, Watsuki did draw lolis in his other manga >>281367462
no one remembers that series despite it getting an anime as well

>>281368880
Examples of the former?

>>281368927
It WAS ok. The law was changed after this stuff was made, primarily due to foreign pressure.

>>281364419
shh, you're destroying his made up shit

>>281368951
Made me wonder, and I don't want this in my search algo, but when exactly did the world just sorta agree on the line where "minor" and "underage" was drawn? 1960? 80?

I’m not shocked the series is still praised and respected. Separate the author from the work and the like.
I’m more shocked he’s still allowed to continue to work. It’d be different if there was proof he went through some major rehabilitation

So is it better or worse in your opinion that less teenagers are sexually active now?
Keep in mind that there's an prime age for sexual activity, in that as you move past it you lose interest in it and thus don't devote the same time or energy to getting a mate.

>>281368968
On paper, post-war. In practice, large age gaps have been looked down upon for at least two centuries in the West.

>>281368995 (Me)
By "on paper" I mean "put on paper and made illegal."

>>281368986
Araki's drawing of Kenshin was half-assed.

>>281362376
It's often surprising to see who gets caught and who doesn't. There's a capeshit artist and writer who has drawn young teen girls kissing adult men and publicly defended pedos. He's still free, while another writer who showed no signs of being into kids got busted for cheese pizza and is in jail over it.

Reminder that posting lolis will get uk and chinese posters imprisoned.

>>281368981
Why are YOU shocked? It's an industry that has a lot of adults draw underage girls for a living.

>>281364119
Shut your fucking mouth, you're going down for post this bullshit

>>281369024
Well, jump is relatively tame when it comes to the degenerate side of manga while being the industry leaders , you’d think they’d have higher standards

>>281368880
Nah, most of them understand it's different, yet simultaneously they feel it's morally just as bad. "It's still cp dude wtf".

>>281368968
Wikipedia has an article on it, there's no need to be so squeamish in:re to your search history.
>While the unrestricted age of consent is between 16 and 18 in all U.S. states, the laws have widely varied across the country in the past. In 1880, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7. The ages of consent were raised across the U.S. during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. By 1920, 26 states had an age of consent at 16, 21 states had an age of consent at 18, and one state (Georgia) had an age of consent at 14. Small adjustments to these laws occurred after 1920. The last two states to raise their age of general consent from under 16 to 16 or higher were Georgia, which raised the age of consent from 14 to 16 in 1995, and Hawaii, which changed it from 14 to 16 in 2001.

I would like to remind everyone that puberty is happening earlier now than in the past, and yet the ages for most of the country's history was still that low.
People genuinely didn't care that much. It's also not as common as the hysteria would have you believe.

>>281369012
No, I need proof. Not your retarded projection. Did he say he didn't want to draw, or "not making any effort" because he was in disagreement?

>>281369046
Dunno. That's what Plebbit said. He drew a shitty drawing, so he must be anti-loli or something.

That doesn't change the fact that legally produced "cp" does not consist of some guy raping his kid in his basement and filming it, any more than American porn isn't just shake footage of someone assaulting and raping a random bitch on the street.

>>281368981
Why would he have to go through rehabilitation just because the law had suddenly made it illegal to own what he owned?

>>281369079
Never said it did, but the legally produced stuff shouldn't exist either.

>>281368877
I kind of get it. Nobody wants their kid to be the one that ends up getting snatched and killed like Adam Walsh.

>>281369076
Maybe her butt hurts

>>281368991
Bad. Messing around with people in the same general age range is healthy and normal. Even slightly bigger age gaps are usually fine as long as the older one is part of the same friend group. Getting married under 20 is usually a bad idea. Nobody should be taking or sending naked pictures of themselves unless they're prepared for the whole world to see them naked.

No, weed was penalized in the US long before the 1960s. It was legal back in the 1800s, but became penalized in the 1900s after it was associated more and more with Mexicans. This was played up by owners of the sisal industry in the US Philippines who wanted to remove hemp as a competitor. This culminated in the 1937 Marijuana Tax act by Harry Anslinger where the would be grower was put in a catch 22. To grow marijuana you needed a license to pay the tax, but to get the license you needed to have marijuana in hand, admitting you were breaking the law.

Weed was penalized in Japan because it makes you work less. It's why they didn't care as much about Meth because it can makes you work more.

it certainly wasn´t just teen gravure as that one is still perfectly legal. In fact the actress (Maho Horiguchi) announced to play an important female character in the upcomming Kamen Rider show is a teen gravure model.
