    Japan has one of the strictest rules on pornography amongst developed countries

    Just like, the mosaics? I’m not sure that was the reason for all the different weird porn genres Japan puts out.

      Technically that’s not porn afaik and does not break their laws. One could argue they adapted, but I too don’t feel like claiming Hentai and others are a byproduct of censorship

        Yeah, so what I’m trying to figure out is why you think Japan has lots of strict rules about it. As far as I can tell, other than the blurry genitals it’s pretty much the same as any other developed country.

          Wait, are you saying that censorship of genitals is not a censorship of porn? I never said “lots of”, I said strict. Censoring nudity is strict in my opinion.

            So back to the earlier question that if strict censorship led to “creep porn”, how do mosaics play into this? I agree that it’s strict and stupid to censor genitals, but what’s the connection here?
