Japan is very lax over pedophillia.
Nah. They're lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.
They didn't bother outlawing possession of CP until 2014 https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/17/world/asia/japan-child-porn-law Distribution was legal right up until 1999
Very considerate!
Not really, they’re lax about CSAM and didn’t even have laws until 2016-2017. Even then the laws are lax
They go after it mainly to appease external forces like other countries objecting to it, but people who are convicted often get very light sentences.
