It's quite short but here are some excerpts

Therefore we should make EROGE hidden away from foreign country, and also its content should be limited and censored".
So basically my understanding of this is that Japanese officials are looking to censor VNs (and with that I'd assume hentai and anime to follow) because of trouble it may cause to other countries and that the VN companies are going to try to limit the amount of exposure they get outside of Japan for fear of this censorship bill actually passing.minori wrote: (...)So we blocked you to make stay away from the trouble
Which makes me think, right now all we can't do is go to their website (without tweeking your IP) but how long before we cant order or buy VN's because of this? And with that hentai to follow, if the makers of it need to try to hide themselves from outside countries in order not to be censored I would think they would go through quite alot to keep their primary market open.
Though I'm interested to find out just what this 'trouble' eroge has caused, I know in America there were a few people charged with child pornography for owning loli manga, but out side of that I haven't heard of anything.
It never ceases to amaze me how easily people get offended, if you don't like it, don't look at it. If you're honestly so stupid to believe that watching a rape scene breeds rapists then you are ignorant. I've seen thousands of people get murdered in movies, yet have not once picked up a gun and did it myself. And if they are so disgusted about someone possibly finding torture erotic, instead of passing their disgust across seas, pass it to the mom and pop next door with the choker and bsdm setup in the basement. Either way none of which have done anything wrong and the people complaining need to just get over themselves and focus on their own lives instead of poking their nose into the lives of others and calling it wrong.
Minori offers some links at the bottom of their site to try to petition their government officials into rejecting the bill.
