UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women treats anime and other works as “reinforcing sexual violence against women” without asking questions, manga artist and lawmaker outraged On the 30th, LDP Senator Akamatsu Ken updated his x (formerly Twitter) account, expressing disappointment over the opinion of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). On October 29, cedaw published its “Concluding Observations on Japan’s Ninth Periodic Report.” Akamatsu cited his own October 2nd post, saying that after the face-to-face screening at Cedaw, “I immediately checked with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet Office Gender Equality Division, and was told that there were no questions referring to creative works such as manga, anime, and games. ” he recalled. However, the conclusions did recommend that “existing legal measures and monitoring programs be effectively implemented to address the production and distribution of pornography, video games and animation products that reinforce discriminatory gender stereotypes and reinforce sexual violence against women and girls.” Akamatsu emphasized that “this final opinion is not legally binding,” and added, “It is regrettable that such a recommendation has been issued. ” he said with quiet anger. As a manga artist herself, she expressed dissatisfaction that manga, anime, games, etc. were portrayed as “reinforcing sexual violence against women and girls” even though she had not asked any questions. He also stated his intention to make efforts to “ensure that this does not lead to society moving toward unjust censorship of expression.” Taro Yamada, a member of the House of Councillors from the same party, also commented on Cedaw’s views on his own account on the 30th. “We have confirmed with the government (the Cabinet Office Gender Equality Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) the content of the face-to-face screening, and they say that no questions were asked about ‘manga, anime, and games.’ Despite not having confirmed this during the face-to-face interview, the concerns were made clear. ” he explained. “It is extremely unjust as it denies freedom of expression in manga, anime and games and calls for us to pursue it through legal measures and surveillance. ” he said indignantly. “We will consider requesting that the sources and grounds be disclosed, as well as a request for retraction if this is not possible. ” He suggested that appropriate action be taken.
>>1 They’re destroying Japan’s best industries. They’re doing what they do to sports like skiing. Why wouldn’t they do it to the economy? Just look at electric cars. The Plaza Accord that ended Japan is still going on.
*The chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, who has found fault with the issue of the Emperor’s succession, is a Spaniard well known for his contempt for Asians.
The manga industry really needs to give in. One of the reasons Japanese manga and anime are popular overseas is because they don’t have political correctness.
Japanese TV is obsolete. From now on, we’ll have no choice but to use foreign media like Netflix and Amazon Prime, so we have no choice but to accept the regulations.
All the trash Japanese manga artists should be executed. Dropping an atomic bomb on Tokyo would be the end. If you don’t want to die, become our slave.
This committee has no authority or power, so private citizens and companies can just ignore it. However, far-left Japanese and anti-Japanese activists are just making up random documents and passing them without review, so Diet members need to speak up.
