"Look at all this stuff that you're not allowed to look at."

Seriously though, what government is not letting you slap the salami in this day and age?

They did blur the screenshots though, but yeah, pretty much flexing that they can browse anything without restriction in their office, lmao.

It's Indonesia btw. That reminds me, I do have a concern about Lemmy instances that use .id TLD (e.g. lemdro.id). It's Indonesian TLD, so it might subject to Indonesian law, so they'll might run into trouble if they federate with porns communities. Might be a similar situation where websites with .ly TLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.

That's the goal of all censors - undisputed authority. You can't argue with what you can't see.

India maybe. Also Australia banned hentai.

That's hilarious. Just picturing the Australian federal police raiding poor neckbeards and NEETs to confiscate their hentai stash. Heaven forbid horny cartoons be allowed to corrupt the youth lol.

So, hentai (really any anime) doesn't appeal to me personally, but why in the hell would it be banned?

Uneducated guess: the preponderance of subjects which appear to be underage (despite the fact that they are indeed a 1000 year old demon)

Australia doesn't treat it's people like citizens, rather as subjects. Totally different dynamic.

Yeah, didn't they make girls with small tits illegal or something?

[–] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I just remembered how the UK outlawed Women's orgasms in porn, calling it piss.
