The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has reportedly expressed concerns about Japanese media and the speculated impact it could have on gender and s*x-based violence.
According to free speech advocate and politician Yamada Taro, the Japanese Cabinet Office Gender Equality Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the contents of their meeting with CEDAW. However nothing further was said about the current state of Japanese media.
The Japanese government has been thankfully slow to respond to external pressure when it comes to censorship of Japanese media. Although the same cannot be said for its corporations, but for the time being free speech remains enshrined in Japanese law with few exceptions.
You can read Taro's post regarding CEDAW's pressure to censor anime and manga below, we'll include a translation via Google.
女子差別撤廃委員会(CEDAW)が10月29日「日本の第9回報告書に対する最終見解」を公表。

On October 29, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) published its "Concluding Observations on Japan's Ninth Periodic Report."
This was prepared following a face-to-face review of the "Ninth Report on the Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women," which was held on October 17th.
In this final opinion, Concerns were expressed that "pornography, video games, manga and other animated products may incite violence against women and girls based on gender or sexual orientation."
It further recommended "effectively implementing existing legal measures and monitoring programs 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.
"However, the government (the Cabinet Office Gender Equality Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has confirmed the content of the face-to-face screening, but no questions were asked about "manga, anime, and games." Despite not being checked during the face-to-face screening, the company expressed its concerns.
This one-sided content denies the freedom of expression in manga, anime, and games, and calls for them to be cornered through legal action and surveillance, which is extremely unjust.
We will consider requesting that the sources and grounds be disclosed, and also requesting a retraction if this is not possible.
Yamada Taro is well known for his stance against censorship, and originally ran on a platform which emphasized his desire to protect anime, manga, and other forms of media from government censorship and foreign pressure.

!weebs !anime !nooticers where is that post showing that despite being full of loliBIPOCshit, Japan has very low rates of child abuse per capita, whereas Bongs are fricking masters at molesting children despite having a lower population than Japan, and also that U.N. commissioner for children's rights or sumshit who was arrested for possessing CSAM?

Ngl Id imagine that in japland it simply doesnt get reported to not disrupt social cohesion or because its more accepted.
Or maybe even the pedos are too wageslaved to make time to molest children
Or maybe the bongs really just are that bad.

Last I checked the difference in numbers was insane, like 100-fold higher child abuse rate in bongland over section-11. And this was in the middle of the giant scandal about police refusing to look into bong grooming gangs.

The otaku who watch that shit barely even go outside, how do you expect them to summon the courage to diddle kids? Even the normies over there can barely find time to diddle each other.

I honestly dont think that otaku pedos are the ones that actually molest children. I think thats a different demographic.

At the same time, they dragged out criminalizing child porn until 2014 and in the mid 90's the FBI estimated that 90% of child pornography on the internet was Japanese.

One thing Ive learned for certain from /a/ and /b/ is that dudes who love lolis absolutely fricking hate actual 3D women.
99% of non-Bong child abuse comes from browns having zero standards and schizophrenic Jews, both of which oh so coincidentally frothingly hate lolis and constantly start every single online argument about them.

It was apparently just a messaging issue, "think of the children" is just not as compelling argument as "it's for women's safety".

What was it the guy says at the end of the first Scream movie? "Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!" Could probably say the same about anime and perverts lol.

Genre of entertainment features overwhelmingly more female-on-male domestic violence than vice versa and treats the concept of women committing extreme violence against men as the funniest shit ever.
