    Yes, sweeping it all under the rug and pretending this problem doesn't exist will surely solve things!

    Perhaps we could "reeducate" anyone with an attraction to prepubescents with electroshock therapy or lobotomy?

    Or... Make it illegal?

    It's a form of Social Engineering.

    You miss the point. Making something illegal doesn't do anything other than make people break the law, as has been proven by countless failed prohibitions and restrictions on things that are still in demand and grow into underground markets. I personally believe that pedophilia isn't something someone chooses, much like homosexuality. Why would anyone choose to be something that is so looked down upon in our society? Known child molesters don't fare well in prison, and guards often turn a blind eye because they feel that it's justified. Not that I'm advocating rape or molestation by any means, but forcing people to hide their problems and feel even more outcast than they already do does nothing but negatively impact the situation. Especially when the thing that is being made illegal is completely victimless and may in fact provide a safe outlet to fantasies that very well could prevent harm to an actual child. That is to say, it could lead someone to a "breaking point" without any alternative means to live out their fantasies.

    i doubt japan would actually go through with this anyway, also for the need for such an outlet, this means that almost 50% of japan would be interested in the underage wouldnt it?

    ....what?

    No, anime and manga mainly focuses on otaku nowadays. This is an anti-otaku bill.

    Not to go completely off topic, but I find it interesting that on one level we are discussing the way in which the human mind can view super deformed, ink drawn images and translate those vague symbols into a coherent erotic stimuli. I love drawing sexy women, although I rarely go for the the cutesy ones. Most of my gals are demon goddesses with glowing eyes and giant cybernetic weapons grafted onto their arms.

    I was just throwing out an alternative to the barbaricness of electro-shock therapy.

    I completely agree that this idea shouldn't be acted upon.

    It will do more harm than good.

    Besides Japan gets a crap load of money of the sales alone, so why mess with it now. I want to see a study done on this to even warrent this bill.

    One of the stars of iCarly is 18.

    The other is 17.

    Not exactly hardcore pedophilia.
