On the case of RAEP games I have the following to say:
1. The companies not putting up much of a resistance shows how strongly these companies support free speech and how defenseless they are against people who want to defend little imaginary girls.
2. I do know that there are just games that are freakin' weird or disturbing. As a result, I don't buy them. Lulz.
3. They'll probably stop at the creation of this "no more raep games" law because the supporting politicians know that they will be at a losing battle should they chase this crusade against porn any further. That's because the claim is that porn poisons the world and yet we all know that Japan has the least number of sexual harassment cases in the world. It's pretty much like weed. Amsterdam has one of the lower percentage of users because weed is legal, so it's not really looked upon as some "Forbidden Fruit" or whatnot out there.
Here's the funny part about this case though. The ones who keep on leading these movements against particular Jap porn (mostly porn games and stuff that involve loli) are from America, China and Korea. One of the heads of Unicef is Korean, and the feminist in China is some washed up TV personality. The Americans in the other hand is actually composed of a feminist group called "Equality Now." I don't know about you guys but my encounters with groups like this are normally a bunch of loons (from my experience anyway). It's strange that the American feminist group won't make a stand against EA or Capcom or Rockstar or something.
Anyway I'm not too worried. I'm sure they feel like they've done their difference in the world right now and it'll be a while before they try something big again. By that time the companies are likely to have more of a backbone.
