When a country doesn't have laws against child pornography until loving 2014, that speaks to the values of the culture. You can't just make the argument that it is 'some section' of society, because even though the actual consumers of the media are pretty low, the fact that it takes decades to address the problem in the same society that also censors porn speaks volumes.

The fact that the author here is back to work despite being publicly arrested for having a Smaug-esque horde of child abuse photos and videos, that his 'punushment' was the price of a 2006 Nissan armada is a japan problem.

Waving it off as a small subsection of perverts ignores the fact that as recently as 2013 you could walk to an open air market in a major Japanese city and buy images of child abuse, and that the only thing that has changed in a lot of these places is a flimsy veneer about how the girls are totally 18. At best you can argue apathy on behalf of Japan with regards to this issue, which is still really, really bad.
The law established in 2014 was specifically about possession. Production and distribution were banned in 1999. You could not walk into a store in 2013 and buy child porn.

I know readership is down in general but isn't some of that because people are not buying the weekly mags more and just grabbing the tanko of what they want to read instead. I think tanko sales haven't dropped the same way.

this is also a big part of it, yeah
