Bill 156 in Japan

A comprehensive look at Bill 156 in Japan. Those who are interested in yaoi and adult entertainment should really take a look at this.
To recap, even prior to passage of Bill 156, Tokyo already has the power to designate anything too sexually stimulating for minors OR too sadistic for minors OR too likely to cause criminal acts among minors OR cause suicide among minors as “harmful material”, and force such material to be treated as adult only material.
With the passage of Bill 156, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will have the additional power to restrict any manga, anime and video games (but not live photography works) that feature any sexual acts that would violate criminal codes or Tokyo ordinances OR sexual depictions between close relatives who could not legally get married to be treated as adult material IF they are presented in “unjustifiably glorified or exaggerated manner.”
Damn.
