why does Japan do that though? they'll show almost everything...except a dick or a vag

japan has pretty harsh punishmemts for distirbuting "indecent" stuff and thus the industry self censors and turning penises and vaginas into mosaics seems enough to make everybody look the other way.

so pretty much the same reason you probably won't see naked breasts in american movies aimed at teens or kids, just with a different view on what's seen as decent and what not and in which context.

Culture. For the same reason why in american music every swearword is beeped out, which seems ridiculous to everyone else in the world. It's just how it is.

Ah yes, a place where guns are fine and racism is fine but swear words, no sir, that's a cultural thing.

is the dumbest fucking thing.

Censoring the porn at least makes some sense.
