Hopefully they're at least mature looking women.
Or how about just adults.
Adult Adults or Pubescent Adults? Because that sounds like you want a lower bar to clear? Japan is one of many nations following Romeo and Juliet laws which protect minors age 14 to 18 and pre-existing relationships from persecution by the law, but personally I think production of all sub-18 pornographic imagery should be banned and all gratuitous imagery should be heavily restricted.
Adults. Where I am from the word adult only has one meaning. An adult is a person of 18 years of age at the very least.
You said "mature looking" for which a 16 year old person might qualify depending on the exact interpretation which is not ok. It doesn't matter what they look like, it matters whether they are an adult or not. Going for looks reminds me of creeps going "he/she is so mature for his/her age". That is not ok.
We're talking about fictional women and artwork, their physical age is measured in seconds. In my language Woman means to say Adult Female, as opposed to Girl.
Oh right. My mistake. I guess when it comes to art then anything that isn't obviously a child is technically legal, if distasteful and morally more than questionable. At least that is the legal situation in most countries.
My objective is the minimisation of harm. If someone uses artwork and that means that they will never touch an underage person then that is a good thing even though I may not like it.
I have never understood why we persecute and prosecute seemingly without taking this into account at all and treat someone with pedophile urges who never acted on them the same way as we treat someone who looked at drawn images and both of those the same was as someone who looks at actual images of real children being abused or someone who actively abuses children.
If anything we should try to offer the first two help in their attempts to never let their urges affect any real, existing children.
However a lot of the time it feels more like our society is designed to achieve the opposite in its active hostility to people who want to live their lives largely in places where they won't encounter children.
I applaud your optimism
They could still be sarcastic.... Beware!
That's impossible because there is no tag. When you see a statement on the internet you need to automatically assume the poster truly believes it or else you open the door to the intolerant.
Nothing like subtle racism. I wonder what kind of boots the woman will be wearing? Perhaps tasty ones?
There is nothing racist about this. It was debated in Japan in parliament and in courts in 1970, 2003, 2009, 2011, 2013, etc. Both UNICEFF and the US State Department have made public statements and reports about the poor state of child gratuity and smut originating from Japan and of crimes against children in general with the idol industry. In a public opinion poll 86% of Japanese respondents said they needed tighter restrictions on manga and anime obscenity involving minors.
The worst kind of people are you who ignore real problems with the world and society under the false pretense of fairness. If you really treated them fairly you would hold them to the same standard as everybody else.
