I'm not sure why we're debating this so much. Adults have sex with a child. The end. Nuke.

Yes, let's stop going into all the gory details here. I can easily stomach such stuff, but not the derails (and other people...). Let's just kill it and move on.

Yeah, it really doesn't matter whether it's pedo-pandering or not, what matters is that it's under the guidelines for being cut, and we've established that in a half-a-dozen different ways.

Pretty much beating a dead horse (which is itself fetishizing violence, and thus deserving of a cut).

As an aside, this:

The rules ban Torture Porn.

is incorrect, largely because "torture porn" does not mean "has explicit sexual content." This is why things like Saw, Hostel, and Fanfic.Cupcakes are outside of the P5's purview.

That may not be what you meant, but I wanted to clarify this point so that people don't get the wrong idea of what to flag.

It's worth mentioning that it's a frequent trick to get stuff past censors (government or commercial) is to have the work as a whole appear to disapprove of the things it's showing. In Victorian times, racy novels about prostitutes were a common theme; such women always came to bad, moralizing ends about the evils of prostitution, but that was not why people bought them — they read them for the titillating stuff in the middle.

[up][up][up]Quite right. Straight up Gorn isn't going to cut it (because if we put stuff to the sword for being too violent, we wouldn't have a lot of horror flicks on here, not to mention a lot of our mature-rated games.

Moving away from the particular work, what, then, actually does constitute fetishizing violence? Because we do have something saying it's not permitted, but increasingly I wonder if there's anything that includes fetishizing violence that isn't already otherwise sufficiently pornographic enough to demand a cut.

^^ I think Kara No Shoujo fetishizes violence to some degree, but it's not really pornographic.

Dance in the Vampire Bund is on the voting tool list, I just want to add that due to its status as a 16+ non-adult title it should get a free pass.

[down]Yes in the us I have most if not all of the books seven seas put out I can check.

[down][down] funi sold uncensored blurays last I checked.

[down][down][down][down]that would make me vary happy as I read it as kind of an anti-twilight and love the plot over the pedo.

In the US? I could swear that that particular work didn't manage to get a pass over here.

Well that's interesting. But I think standing by the exemptions supremacy takes precedence.

It did get to the US, but Funi decided not to sell any uncensored DVDs. Every edition is censored. Make of that what you will.

Citation for proof. It was initially considered for censorship editing, but since Strike Witches has similar content and its Western release was not censored, Dance In The Vampire Bund was eventually released in the US completely uncensored.

[up][up]From Wikipedia.

Initially, Funimation announced that the U.S. release would be released in an edited format, because of "controversial elements which, when taken out of context, could be objectionable to some audiences," and which Funimation considered "inappropriate for U.S. viewing and [...] not essential to the storyline." (nudity involving Princess Mina, who is in a nine-year-old body but is truly an aged vampire) Another title, Strike Witches, was released unedited, despite containing some similar elements.[8] After negative fan reaction to edited DVD and Blu-ray releases, Funimation released another statement on March 10, 2010, saying the company expects to release the show unedited based on the first seven episodes, but will make a final decision once the company has seen the final five episodes to ensure that they comply with U.S.law.[9][10] It was later released in June, completely uncensored in an unedited edition.[11]

In October 2011, it was announced that the UK edition - distributed by Manga entertainment - would not be censored, and that all material removed by Funimation for the US release would be included in its original form.[12]This version was passed with a '15' rating by the BBFC.[edit]

So they did uncensor it. Wasn't expecting that. The fan outrage was too much, apparently.

Well, that means it's probably controversial enough to merit a review, right? It's not a free pass so much as 'free pass unless you have a good reason why not.'
