Tokyo's "Anti-Loli" Bill Approved By Committee

This is it guys. The revised Bill 156 (Youth Healthy Development Ordinance) or the infamous "Anti-loli bill" was approved by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's General Affairs Committee (Former President Gloria Arroyo approved a similar bill last year.) If Bill 156 passes through the final vote of the Full Assembly a day from now, it's goodbye loli/shota/yuri/yaoi and whatever for Otaku fans.

Materials that are "sexually stimulating, encourages cruelty, and/or may compel suicide or criminal behavior" to people under the age of 18 are already prohibited by a current ordinance. Bill 156 will put "manga, anime, and other images (except for real-life photography)" that "unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate" certain sexual or pseudo sexual acts into regulation.

The government will also have the power to regulate images if the depicted acts are also "considered to be excessively disrupting of social order" such as rape. This is it Siopao Master, Euri, Rocky, Mike... this is the end :(
