KyTy said: Karol_At said: It feels so weird that highschoolers having sex is normally implied in the movie, yet with every drink it has to be specified that it's non-alcoholic. When I think about how children party where I live, I would say that at this age many would drink somewhat on occasions like new year's, but high school couples usually don't have sex this early (or maybe my friend circle just doesn't, doesn't change the first point). Is there some Japanese law that explicitly prohibits the depiction of minors drinking? Why is implying sexual relationship all good but alcohol isn't even if they usually come in the opposite order? Age of consent in Japan is 13 but for some reason drinking alcohol is prohibited until you are 20. So yeah, japanese law basically. This is a pretty big misconception and misleading. 13 was the minimum age it could be. Recently it was raised to 16 federally, but even then, the prefectures can raise the consent age on their own, and almost every prefecture in Japan had raised it to 16-18, with most being 18 AFAIK. |

Nyamaste said: In my friend group, people were definitely having sex regularly earlier than drinking regularly. I also don't really see a problem with them portraying a natural physical things that humans go through as normal. Drinking may be culturally normal, but it's not like puberty, hormones, sex drive etc. Also, this is my personal opinion, but I also think sex is much more wholesome and healthy than drinking/party culture. I'd much rather promote sex to young people than substance abuse. how about neither? sex is healthy as much as sugar is, though not even. In moderation, paired with an already healthy diet, and it makes children really unhealthy. I don't think there are much more things that are as desensitivizing and corrupting to kids as sex. Something that ideally you want to do with the person you'll spend the rest of your life with, otherwise it brings about, sooner or later, depression and a lack of responsibility. |
| Seems like that some TV stations or networks probably have updated guidelines on minor drinking in anime. Similar to how some anime can't depict nudity or intense violence without censorship. But the underage drinking thing probably became a standard after the 2000's. Idk if the law has anything to do with it. If you watch older anime like Kimagure Orange Road from the 80's you'll see that underage drinking was quite common. The manga was published on the Shonen Jump magazine. It was not a seinen series. Sometimes the characters might say things like there's only a little alcohol in a cocktail drink but they'd also specifiy what type of drink it was. Like Brandy or beer. So it’s a polar opposite of recent anime where they need to specify that the drink ISN'T alcoholic. |
| ....I wasnt aware that high schoolers having consenting sex was against the law in Japan? Must be crazy over in abstinence world. Edit: Aaand my morbid curiosity strikes. Some places really dont have the exemption of "close in age" is not illegal, but it is still mostly unprosecutable because that would do more damage then harm. Japan is not one of those cases, though. |
