Wow, you're a twit. Your friends are clearly VERY FORTUNATE to live in some of the few tolerant places in Russia then. Throughout the country, the law in question is being used as an implicit excuse to beat, torture, humiliate and shame (and probably kill) LGBT people by police and right-wing extremists alike. Anti-gay propaganda (including that sanctioned by the government) is rife and purports completely non-sensical rubbish to simply inspire and spread further ignorance and hate e.g. a common "fact" given is that the majority of gay men are also apparently peadophiles. Please do a little basic fact checking before spouting rubbish. Your assumedly handful of friends are not representative of the entirety of Russia's populace. |
Heck, look at Sochi!

Actually in Japan it would be though the older part of the age range is pushing it.
An example from anime is that Ryo in City Hunter is more than once accused of being a lolicon for haveing been (falsely) perceived as being attracted to a 15 or 17 year old.
In any case I would love to know what titles this guy was convicted for.

You do realize that Russia isn't doing anything about the really large actual child porn market, but yet they go after anime fans who obviously are not going out and molesting children. This seems really unfair

It's not about fairness, it's about being seen as "doing something" without having to spend the resources needed to deal with the actual problem. It happens all the time.

All we know was that it was only one title, with 13 episodes.

Well Japan has a fetish for lolicons and shotacons. You can scream until you're dead that the characters that appear on those manga and or/animes are "adults". It won't make any difference because mangaka/character designers draw "adult" characters to look like children. We wouldn't have these problems if those otakus grew up and started having natural sexual lives.
For instance the manga Crying freeman is full of nudity, both male and female, but no one would consider it to be child porn 'cause the characters are adults and are drawn like adults.
Seriously, porn in manga is as old as porn in comic books. Christ when I was a teenager I used to go from time to time to a library that sold comic books, all kinds of comic books and right there in the middle of the shop you had porn comics. And reading them was a blast  (the country was not the US of A nor was it the Soviet Union  ) . But the characters were adults. And it was all legal. And nobody made a fuss about it.
Japan put your house in order and make it illegal for lolicon and shotacon to be produced. And no, neither the manga nor the anime industry will collapse because of this.

You do realize that governments can do many things at the same time ?
Case closed.

Does that mean a homicide is still a homicide if comes in the form of a book, a TV series, or a movie? |
No of course not. BUT :
You can still be convicted if you plan to do a homicide but don't carry it through (and there are proofs of this of course). So your analogy is quite flawed.

Or they could use the money they saved from not arresting/convicting that man to go after real problems.

Lolicons aren't planning on committing any crimes either.

Japan has a fetish for those who have a fetish for Lolis and Shotas? Thats new to me, those Otaku must be popular among the girls.

Nobody is saying that those character are adults?

Why should people be forced to lead natural sex lives?

I completely agree with you. Any normal person knows that having sex with children is wrong. I think child molestation and school shootings should not be focused on the games we play or the things we watch, but on the mental state of the accused and their past

Loli/Shota manga & anime are far less dangerous than 30-round semi-automatic military-style assault- rifles.

I was referring to their mental state, not on how they commit the crime

Ah, the good old "this crap didn't exist back in my day" argument. Amusing, considering that such content is actually fairly uncommon today as compared to back before Crying Freeman even existed.

"I don't like it so it needs to be banned!" Should you really be admonishing otaku to grow up?

While Lolicon is vile and disgusting and I wish it didn't exist in any form, people should not get arrested over something entirely fictional.
