Censorship In Hentai
0
The simple, correct, and final answer is: because it's the god damned law in Japan, set in place during the Meiji Restoration. Not only was censorship instated, but other forms of curtailing public forms of sexuality, like prohibiting mixed bathing in public bath houses. Meiji was all about westernization and bringing the Japanese society as a whole up to speed with the rest of the modernized world. Look up the term bunmei kaika, and the reactions to it (Satsuma Rebellion).
I guess the only blame we lay at the feet of MacArthur and the Occupational Government is that they didn't force the ban on censorship of pornography lifted, like they did with censorship of speech and the media. So everything related to the continuing censorship is still the fault of the post-Imperial and modern Japanese governments, and it's highly unlikely to change because it's a rather unfavorable platform to run on.

Censorship in hentai, really is pointless since a vagina won't be different from a next one...wow, you do realize all vaginas are different, no?
There's no universal standard or something XD

The fact that demons and tentacles brutally, and I mean _brutally_, rapefest a screaming, bound woman, and dump gallons upon gallons of white liquid upon her face and body... At least they have the decency to slightly blur the penis. I WAS NEARLY OFFENDED.
This happens a lot in hentai. I mean what is the point of of censoring the vagina or penis when you can obviously see all of these other much more disturbing things going on. Censors, Really? your not fooling anybody.

It's a little funny how lax laws about hentai are in general, but they make you put a little line somewhere over the pubic hair.

I've seen some people say its the authors duty to censor their stuff (well thats true for doujinshi and TankÅbon) but i think its the publishers duty to censor their magazine as they see fit. I can almost tell who published the magazine just from the censorship.

However, I'm sure that, in seriousness, a lot of you are probably quite angry with the fact that you can't find good hentai uncut, whether it be mangas or movies
Get.
Though seriously, some censoring is quite pointless such as the grey or black bars that hardly censor anything. However, it is a different culture and they have their reasons so that's just how it is.

Some countries are too mired in their old traditions even when they know said tradition is an outdated point of view that is no longer supported by the populace.

Obviously I hate it like most but I deal with it, most of my h-anime favorites are unlicensed and thus censored, along with most pictures/CG's out there.
I would like to believe someday the tradition will fall through. They keep pushing the boundaries, things like large insertions and cum inflation crack me up, it's like is censoring any of that going to make it ANY different for a random bystander? Kind of goes along with the "Thank G*D it's censored!" joke... it's pointless when you completely know what's going on.

Doesn't matter, running on a platform of removing censorship, especially sexual censorship, is never really seen favorably. No politician in Japan will bother because of it being unforgivable, and because it's just not really that big of a deal to them.
