The trick language there is "obscene" which means it's still regulated, but as regular porn rather than as child porn.

lolicon is the explicit term used to state knowingly underage content. It's not even that skirting on the edge shit some anime/hentai tries.
What next, making that same argument for toddlercon? Yes, that's a real thing many on here were made aware of thanks to the 8chan THQ kerfuffle.
And you wonder why bans get handed out for blatant excusing/handwaving of such content? Do you want all of Resetera on a watch list?
How about Hollywood movies and tv shows and music videos, Britney Spears was 16 in that music video where she's dancing around in a school girl outfit, don't tell me that's not sexual

Heh, that's for sure. It's why the people thinking that it's only "loli/shota" are in for a surprise. lol
Pretty much every piece of Japanese media in existence has some sort of sexual allusion thrown in there, even if its not intended to be sexual. You'd have to ban pretty much everything from sale from Japan. The fact that this is so generalized towards art to begin with rather than real life abuse which tends to get lower sentences in Japan is concerning.
Not to say Japan's focus on moe and underage girls in sexual situations in anime and manga in particular isnt problematic and shouldnt be reigned in on their end, but from what i'm understanding, this project is far more than just about that but covers a broad swath of things that are either already on sale or have the potential of being on sale. We're talking major brands here, even things like Dragonball and Naruto and Bleach and such.

Eh, it's creepy but I fail to see how it causes any actual harm. I'm a pretty big 1st amendment supporter, so I'd have an issue banning completely fictional representations just because it's creepy and disturbing.
