probably not the correct thread for that.
I'm assuming the thing is that it's "safer" to look for that sort of "reference material" in old print than it is to look for it online. It would be way safer to just get some barbie-doll style "safe" 3D models and pose them yourself, though. I think a lot of software for artists these days come out of the box with models you can pose and shit.Anyway from looking into it and Japanese media reporting on it, it seems it was not actual *porn* but german magazines from the 80s for the nudist life style that also have children it in. like they are just hobbist nudist magazines.
One hand him wanting to use them as reference material makes sense, but on the other hand DUDE WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING, DON'T FUCKING BUY THAT SHIT.
The mangaka himself seems to actually be into fat older woman with saggy tits though.
The issue is that you can still buy these magazines, they are up for sale on Etsy and even Amazon and people collect them. I know the artist did like to collect fashion magazines and stuff to use as reference material because he drew a lot of different costumes ranging fro modern stuff to Victorian and everything inbetween.I'm assuming the thing is that it's "safer" to look for that sort of "reference material" in old print than it is to look for it online.

And yeah, did not expect the guy drawing so many huge-titted girls to be into that stuff. Live and learn, I guess.
It doesn't help that Japan's laws on it have changed a few years ago and I think enforcement is still a fluid thing. There are no two ways about it, Japan does have an unrecognized issue with actual real-life child sexual abuse, and it's only recently that they've started cracking down on it. And with Japanese law enforcement being as overzealous as they are whenever they're demanded results, I expect them to nab at a least a few more manga artists along the way. Either legit, or as collateral damage to pad their numbers and show "results".The issue is that you can still buy these magazines, they are up for sale on Etsy and even Amazon and people collect them.

I don't want to make excuses for what he did but does just come off as really fucking dumb but not like he wanted to jack it to the kids.
Yeahhhh… I can't read the article it links to, but based on it, are you really so confident in the "dude, it was just reference material" argument? I'm inclined not to buy it. If you really must use photographic reference material, why does it have to be nude? And we're talking manga here anyway so it doesn't have to be truly anatomically correct.Anyway from looking into it and Japanese media reporting on it, it seems it was not actual *porn* but german magazines from the 80s for the nudist life style that also have children it in. like they are just hobbist nudist magazines.

nude posing is kind of the end-all-be-all for art, and perhaps he was just using it for studies or non-manga work. you're also like, required to study proper anatomy before delving into manga style, but he's a veteran at this point so i really dunno.Yeahhhh… I can't read the article it links to, but based on it, are you really so confident in the "dude, it was just reference material" argument?

There is no hoops to jump through, they are literally selling them on Etsy and Amazon.

Well, that was a weird wiki crawl to go in. As it turns out, the "FKK" on that listing title there stands for Freikörperkultur, a nudist movement still pretty popular in Germany.There is no hoops to jump through, they are literally selling them on Etsy and Amazon.

Ironic since this fag likes rape hentai and is a lolicon himself..This is really old but I thought I'd clip it to post anyways. They're usually hypocrites, sharing the same content when it's yaoi, at least in the anime community. I've noticed this more than just this little clip, but I'd have to do some digging for better examples. I'm not sure if I'd call it a community personally, more so just the monthy/weekly 'moral outrage' over something.

The original purpose of those magazines were pretty much just nudist hobby life style magazines with nothing sexual about them. gross sure but nudism isnt really a fetish or sexual(it can be though just not in this case) its just being naked and was kinda a trend/life style for awhile in multiple countries.Ew. Okay. And? A third party selling that sort of stuff on market sites doesn't necessarily mean it's legal to sell or own. And you can't tell me the original purpose of those magazines was not to be used as pornography.
Regardless, we're going way off-topic. With how many manga artists are in Japan, and with how artists in general lean towards incredibly autistic, it's a statistic certainty some of them will get caught doing scummy shit. Whether Kenya Suzuki was caught with books packed cover to cover with nude kids, or whether the books had like 5 pictures of children playing on the beach among 90 pages of adults hanging out with their dongs out, we'll never know. Again, we never see proper follow-up on these things, the headline alone is enough to turn the person and their works radioactive.The original purpose of those magazines were pretty much just nudist hobby life style magazines with nothing sexual about them. gross sure but nudism isnt really a fetish or sexual(it can be though just not in this case) its just being naked and was kinda a trend/life style for awhile in multiple countries.
I am not defending his actions, it was incredibly stupid and if it turns out he was really jerking to kids ill make sure to show my full disgust.
His twitter has a few tweets mentioning buying from overseas auctions for old photos and stuff and was doing a lot of Anatomy work.
Again I am not defending what he did do, but maybe this is also a bit of cope from me hoping the worst he did was be stupid and buy shit he shouldnt for an artistic reason.

The world gets weirder and weirder the more I look at it. I suppose for a Japanese person these days that sort of shit would be peak exoticism. And while I'm all for artistic expression, if you're collecting content like that in Current Year, you're either a pedo or a complete moron. The question that we'll likely never see answered because these headlines never get a proper follow-up is which category does Kenya Suzuki fall into.
Hmm. It's definitely not my thing but I can buy nudism as a "lifestyle" for hippie-dippies and/or hardcore "the industrial revolution and its consequences" types. But once you break out the cameras and start publishing photographic magazines and videos, you're not reporting on a hobby; you're making pornography. You can tell yourself otherwise as much as you want, but again, I just can't buy that at least the vast majority of the people buying these sorts of magazines weren't using them as wanking material.The original purpose of those magazines were pretty much just nudist hobby life style magazines with nothing sexual about them. gross sure but nudism isnt really a fetish or sexual(it can be though just not in this case) its just being naked and was kinda a trend/life style for awhile in multiple countries.
Yeah, you're right. It's not the smoking gun linking a loli artist with IRL sexual degeneracy they're all hoping for. Even when Shadman got busted, it was just for something like drugs and making threats, right?Regardless, we're going way off-topic.

Does this mean the main subjects of this thread, the puritanical "WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE FICTIONAL CHILDREEEEENNNN" idiots pointing fingers at other people while their own content feeds are packed with fujo bullshit, are correct? Not really. I don't remember anyone accusing Suzuki of being a lolicon (again, his manga's main character has stonking great tits). And even if they had, even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. It doesn't mean the clock doesn't need fixing, or that these people aren't lolcows in their own right.
Wow… some peeps be collectin' them receipts for a while.Nothing new but someone made an entire thread compiling a disturbingly large amount of people who were outed as sex pests despite raising a massive stink about lolicon:

I'd say it's less "everyone who complains about lolicon has a related skeleton in their closet", and more "the more frequently someone brings up lolisho to complain about it, the more likely it is they have a related skeleton in their closet". They damn well know that the shit they're into is fucked up, so they try and cover it up by vocally and repeatedly doing the exact opposite in public in hopes that'll throw people off the scent. They think it'll stop them from being caught, but none of them can keep up the lie forever.I mentioned before that I don't necessarily buy the "everyone who complains about lolicon has a related skeleton in their closet" like of reasoning as I'm sure the majority are sincere in their beliefs… but if you do have such a skeleton, maybe you should realize performative shaming like this just makes you a larger font of ridicule when that skeleton is found. Just keep your mouth shut and suppress the urge to call out others to make yourself feel less abnormal. Find another fandom.
