They don't appear on television lul, I don't watch television either. They're all over the internet though.

I'll list some names I found:



EDIT:

I'm totally fine about some child stars/models but these ones go way overboard. They sell DVDs and photobooks with children wearing next to nothing and posing in ways that are so suggestive it's not funny.


Where is Lynn Mimmei or Ranka lee on that list? Where did you get this list anyways?

That's not what I'd define as child exploitation though. Do you think Charlie Bit is child exploitation? I'm just talking about those Junior Idols that are sold.

Why is it exploitation?

Because its something sexual?

Welcome to the sexually repressed society that is earth.

I'd consider it explotation if it's the parent who force their child to become one.

Okay, let's get away from the whole exploitation thing.

It's still sad to see a child's 'innocence' (yes, you can argue what innocence is...) taken away from them at such a young age.

it's Japan. not surprised anymore.

but to advertise them "that" (I mean like an av model) way so casually was something else.

i thought they would be more discreet. it's like they are throwing stones at UNICEF or something.

In your free time, don't ever film yourself, your friends or your kids. That's exploitation derp.

Plus Charlie Bit Me was an accidental video.

They are a completely different place with their own culture. This innocence you speak of is all in your head and only exists because of where and when you were born. Maybe to them there is no innocence lost so its not a problem? And things like this don't really affect these kids lives like it would in a different culture.

You're looking at their culture and judging it with a perception created completely by your own culture.. so in the end its a biased outlook.

In the far past, had you been born then, you might of not considered this to be a problem at all.

Anything you consider right and wrong are only that way because the current times deem them to be so.

A football (not handegg) club in the Netherlands recently signed an 18-month old to a "symbolic" 10-year contract.

Is that "exploitation" too, DoubleDango?

I didn't come here to debate the meaning of exploitation. All I want to say is that I don't think (now note the 'I' and the 'think' here) it's right for pictures to be taken of these children the way they are taken.

I'm pretty it's a pretty international thing for people to believe it's wrong for suggestive images of children to be taken to please adults. Google the terms 'child erotica', 'child modeling' and 'child pornography'. You'll usually find related pages for all three term.

It's a fact that it's hard to determine whether an image is art or, child pornography. There are laws for child pornography, obviously, but how can you tell something has past the line? Even if an image is obviously sexually suggestive, just because the website says the images were taken with the consent of parents, contains no nudity, are all artworks and does not contain any pornographic content doesn't mean it's not.

Seriously, most of these pictures are ridiculous; what's a 10 year old doing wearing some string bikini that's loosely fitted and spreading her legs? What is that same 10 year old doing on all 4? Just because they don't reveal the entire of the genitals/pubic area doesn't mean it's not pornography. What purposes do these images even serve? If you tell me they're artworks and it's okay to collect them, sigh.

'Junior Idol' materials are often sold next to hardcore pornography content in Japan, what does that suggest? No one sells this kind of things in Europe, America and Oceania. What does that suggest? That Japan is more open minded? Obviously people think it's ethically and socially unacceptable.

Why are magazines such as Zoo (published in Australia, I dunno about other countries) restricted to over 18's even though it doesn't have any nudity? Because it's sexually suggestive.

I don't think I've ever sourced or linked Fox News ever before. I don't even know much about it, other than it's a news site that is. I'm guessing it's American because of the date format, I don't usually watch or read local and national news, let alone American news. This article just happen to illustrate my thoughts perfectly -- like I said; no matter whom an argument is made by, they should all still be heard -- or at least that's what I believe.

If you find my post(s) irritating beyond beliefs, well, I guess I can't do too much about it.

Wait did you just post a link from fox news? That doesn't help, that is a lost of credibility lol.

What is it that troubles you much? That some people may fap to their pictures? So what? It's not a problem just because they may please some guy you think as creepy.
The thing is that this teens aren't having some traumatic experience at all and they get good money out of it. Those money may help them later in their life. It's no different than doing any of the other thousand shit kids do trying to get money or learn staff early on.

you realy know nothing and Female Idol Careers Last from the Age of 15 to 25

only 2 Cases that this is untrue is Hamasaki Ayumi and Matsuda Seiko

so the The use of the Term Junior Idol is wrong in Its self

Male Idols are Different a male Idol can Retain that Tag up to about 35

Thats Why the Main Male Idol Factory Is Jonhny Jisho and thay have a Juniors Division

Which is still way better than FOX labeling Mass Effect as digital pornography.

Though it's mostly to blame on the parents, I do have a feeling Japan is more open to sexuality in broad ways, making it seem more tolerable if you were born and raised there.
