Unfortunately, they have only been illegal since 1999. Prior to that, child porn was OK. It is still legal to possess child porn in Japan it is only now illegal to produce it or distribute it commercially.
It's a sad world we live in.

Posted in: I don’t eat out, I don’t go shopping. I take my kids to the park and bring a boxed lunch. It’s a time for endurance.

I do think it's unfair because there has been many games about war in the past. I'm sure the families of those lost would also have some concern, but those prior games were still published.

America won't rule the world forever. Their end is nigh.
