After reading the title you are propably asking WTF?? It's sad but it's true. Japan wants to ban pretty every content that caters to any known fetish. Everything begun with fuss about H-game "Rapelay" by Illusion Soft. It seems that this game attracted too much attention to our loved Ero-games, and now we have situation like this. Some of the publishers begun to block foregin IP denying non-japanese people enter to their sites. The studio Minori have posted on their blocking site:

"We are little perplexing now because we received a lot of response about this issue from foreign people.

Now we will tell you the short detail about the reason why blocking you to this website, because of we, all Japanese EROGE makers were facing at the problem, the crisis of "Freedom of speech".

Currently, The bill that allows to limiting the content (It is censorship. Isn't it?) to all EROGEs is being discussed in the Diet because intellectuals and politicians said "Japanese EROGE were being problem and troubled with the foreign country. Therefore we should make EROGE hidden away from foreign country, and also its content should be limited and censored".

Okay, now we trusted the word what they said at once. So we blocked you to make stay away from the trouble.

...Do you like that?

If not, please tell your idea directly to Japanese government and politicians.
(For example, you can write the letter to the administration of Japan[http://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/index-e.html] directly from here[http://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/forms/comment.html].)
(If you can comprehend Japanese...There is information of the politicians in Japan[http://www7.atwiki.jp/epolitics/pages/29.html].)

Otherwise, you just can talk your idea about this issue at your blog or other media to inform the existance of this problem to the public. It would be very helpful for us."

At the moment list of contens to be banned contains:
-Loli
-Gang Rape
-Sexual violence/Assault
-Cruel sexual play
-Reverse rape
-Shoujo
-Forbidden sex
-Reverse sexual violence (Woman raping man?)
-Forced
-Multiple play
-School council
-Bestiality
-Bondage
-Threaten
-Train groping
-Enjo Kousai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enjo_kosai)
-Incest
-Torture
-Bind tightly
-Pregnant
-Rape (another way to refer to rape)
-Slave
-Pregnant woman
-Imprisonment
-Impregnation

Some of the contents are doubled because they don't have direct English equivalents, but still are diverse things.

What do You think about all of this people?
Ban of some contents seems to be quite right (thing like rape and slavery), but of some other is wery wrong IMHO.
Sorry for my english.

Very, very scary, if true. While I still have like 50 games on my to play list, I'm particularly worried because this is happening because of a foreign feminist group, of all places.

Hopefully the new msize game still comes out. Because that violates at least five of these.

Yeah, very scary. And it's violating somewhat the liberty of expression. Sad and scary. Lets hope that they won't ban everything.
Sorry for my english.

Update:
Blocking of sites proceed. Following the Minori, Yuzu Soft and VisualArt blocked their sites for foregin IP's. Yuzu Soft's site returns simply 403 Forbiden code but on VisualArt's site is written "PLEASE PLAY THE GAME OF YOUR COUNTRY IF YOU PRAY FOR THE WORLD PEACE!:-)" Ok, but what if I don't really like games of my country, instead I love your country games? I can't to play them because I'm a foreginer? It seems that those companies want to blame foreginers because they all are strange, bad and ugly... or maybie I'm just jumping to conclusions.
"Some foreigners seem to be having an antipathy against EROGE.
Therefore, We prohibited the access from foreign countries, to defend our culture.
Sorry for you of the fan that lives in a foreign country." It's from minori site, at least they are sorry for fans...
