The Japanese porn industry alone contributes so much to their economy. They rake in three times as much as Americas. As objectionable as some genres of porn may be, without it, Japan would not have progressed the way they have economically speaking. And all of the rape sold there as far as i have "researched" *cough* is staged and at least they aren't openly marketing full on nude 13 year old girls. So what if a few million a year bust a node over some sadistic fantasies involving bondage and molestation. At least they aren't repressing it. I mean what would the fat guy in his sweats do without it? "you know I think I might bound gag then rape my next door neighbors daughter. hm, sounds swell."
