Japan restrict gaming to 1 hour per day

Kind of sucks that child-friendly games will basically be nuked as a demographic over there.

It has gone into effect today

So restricting gaming play time is less bad than censor?

Aren't Japanese youth overburdened with school and shit?

It's Japan. The citizens will do whatever the law tells them to do. You don't enforce laws in Japan, people just follow them.

>This old man just want the youth to be more productive in their society

society is unironically though. ol Teddy boy was right.

Our politicians blame video games for violence, this could happen to us too.

Well, I'm not a minor and I live Aichi, so ok I guess...

April's fools?

Remember when a big shooting happened and the trump administration put out a cherrypicked montage of videogame violence and tried to foist the blame onto them?

Liberal and conservative politicians are both shit and all, but don't act like conservatives are suddenly fighting for your freedumbs because self-righteous internet liberals hurt your feelings or got a job localizing your favorite porn game. The far right will stomp on your fucking throat if you let them.

Stop treating politics like it's a team sport where you have to pick one side.

Guess i'll just play paintball.
OR JACKOFF 42 TIMES A DAY.

>Senator Liberman(D) lead the senate hearings on violent video games in the 90s
lmaoing at you

He's wrong because he has no foresight at all. This should be up to the parents to decide if they want to restrict activities like gaming for their kids. Instead you're setting up a kid to legitimately become addicted
>only get to enjoy one hour of gaming a day for years
>finally turn 18
>no one can tell you what to do anymore
>spend entire days doing nothing but gaming
>no one can tell you to stop anymore, and when they suggest you dial it back you do more just to spite them
Self control needs to be learned, not legally enforced

It always start with one.

No it's real

Last time someone tried to bait with this it said that the Kagawa prefecture was trying to restric all forms of media consuption to only 1 hour per day, and that it was going to be enformed to every single person living there, not only minors. What happened?

should be 1 hour a week.

If some middle aged female Democrat was trying to push this in America, you weebs would rightfully hate it.

>2 weeks ago

fuck's the matter with you chimps. quarantine got you this bored?

Wait, how do they stop minors from watching porn? We could use that here.

yep based japan

Only one prefecture dumbass

It's the only prefecture that wanted this; the others told the head of the place to fuck off with his shitty idea

>one prefecture
>impossible to enforce
Who cares.

>This should be up to the parents to decide if they want to restrict activities like gaming for their kids.
Enforcement of the law is up to the parents anyway.

Can you cunts go one second without talking about donald trump.
This is the video game board, retard.

Can confirm. The only thing that happened when I got a parental lock on my computer was that I developed other addictions.

You need to teach kids that moderation is good for their own sake, not artifically restrict them and just insist on that.

>LAW
>should
>strive
>recommend
It's nothing. Not a single arrest will be made over this "law", it's a prefecture government health recommendation by other words. The things you should be worried about is if they do stuff like rollout server shutdowns by the clock or singular account control, which china and korea have done.

It's enforced today

SJWs will let you play games because they want to give you the illusion that they're on your side but the reality is if it were up to them you'd get to play games only after they're scrubbed completely clean of anything they deem problematic. They think because THEY don't like something, you should not be allowed to enjoy it either. So yes, they won't try to stop you from playing games, but they will try to stop you from enjoying games with content they disapprove of.

This

More like western children are "underburdened" by school.

it would never happen. people would fight tooth and nail and noody would care.
ESPECIALLY since the people in charge of voting for such laws are gamers raised on vidya not boomers who've never touched a gameboy in their life.

It's true though, right wingers hate video games.
For example this is one of the most viewed videos on the official White House YouTube page.

>1 hour per day
That's incredibly harsh beyond belief.

>politics is binary

This. Japanese people barely have time for video games anyway. Japanese children are forced to spend the majority of their day memorizing over a hundred thousand Chinese characters if they don't want to fall behind. If you were Japanese, you'd be lucky to get an hour a day to play video games.

They literally can't and won't enforce the law, it exists solely as an encouragement
It's also limited to a single irrelevant prefecture

>trump
>right wing
I'm not even a trumptard and I know this is wrong. Here's your (you)

They literally believe in the same shit ,are you kidding? They'd just ban over another retarded reason.

Good wageslave. Good goy.

Kagawa ken is basically a backwater flyover place in Japan. Only 900k people live there. And the public doesn't even support the bill, combined with the fact that parents are supposed to enforce it and even if they limit access to consoles kids have phones, it's really going to end up as a big nothing burger.

Also Japanese politics are really weird. Everyone makes fun of the US for only having two parties, but in Japan the same party has ruled everything since 1955

And remember when California passed a law banning anyone under 18 from playing M rated games?

This is a serious thing. In japan it's really frowned upon to jay walk across an empty street and to deviate from the walking paths.

You know they''ll just spend that time playing outside or jerking off
might as well ban all forms of entertainment and make slave ownership legal again

>American 'right-wing' 'conservatives'

I'd rather have all video games taken away than to allow even the smallest amount of gun control legislation through. My family could be killed in a shooting and I would actually tow the "violent video games" rhetoric even though I know it's not really true, blame the killer himself for having mental problems, his family. But never would I blame guns or to ever suggest they are the problem.

Shall not be infringed, learn your fucking priorities.

>More like western children are "underburdened" by school.

You either do not remember what it was like to be a kid, you had a vastly different experience as I did when I was a kid 10 years ago, or this is the best god damn bait I've ever read on this website.

Are parents seriously going to call the cops when little Akira-kun plays Animal Crossing for 2 hours a day?

So it's nothing?
Enforcement should look like "must log in via National identification number and share between all online video games"

>blames the hardworking parents
>won't accept responsibility for poisoning his country's youth with his shitty games

What a terrible person.

>Kagawa Prefecture (香川県, Kagawa-ken) is the smallest prefecture of Japan (by area)
The population is almost 1m so it's slightly more meaningful than some redneck bumfuck village passing a retarded law but still

I basically ended up doing this. Was like being let into a toy store with an infinitely duplicating coin. Was more strict than 1 hour a day though, it was 30 minutes on Saturday only.
Regardless this is up to parents to enforce so idk why this is even a law. The fuck is going to happen, the parents report their own kid and get fined/have their kid thrown into whatever Japan's equivalent to juvie is? Since it's parents enforcing it this doesn't include neighbors or shit like that.

is this bait?
japs are crap at video games, they only play fighters, gacha and casual shit
esports are ruled by scandis and koreans
also Jap music is average

>made the best fighting game on the market
Fuck you

Not him but I grew up in Straya and school was a fucking cake walk. It started at 9 and ended at 3:30. By grade 12 we only had like 3 or 4 classes a day. Meanwhile koreans go to school until 7pm and then go to cram school until midnight 6 days a week.

Americans work more hours, and days, than the Japanese though.

>Minors
Not a big problem i guess.

Is it true Japanese mothers give their sons blowjobs to help them study for exams?

They also get paid less on average too.

Politics isn't binary, you can have moderate conservatives and far right democrats.

Fucking this. My high school has a Japanese exchange program and every year when the Japanese kids came by for 2 weeks, I never got used to them being the biggest fucking normalfags

>idpol NPCs
left-right politics are for scripted NPCs, slaves and nonhuman amerimutts.

It was true

>far right politicians
Retard. Right wing politicians don't believe in state regulations.

>far right democrats
Fucking lmao. Leftist sjws are the ones censoring "problematic" shit in games and threatening devs for not complying.

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours,days,even weeks on end performing some of the hardest,most mentally demanding tasks.Over,and over,and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would call torture,because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time minmaxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out an extra point of damage per second
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things:slogging through the grind, all day,the same quests, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been SMASHED,systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration?All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win?They take our devs?Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

SJW's grow up to be neolibs who will gladly ban all games just as much as any boomercon would. This is a life cycle you should know. Once they're old enough that it's embarrassing for them to be still making shitty rpg maker games they'll go get a job at daddies bank or daddies tech startup or daddies missile r&d firm.

Also school is a scam, homeschooling is better in every regard. If your parents are hopeless and can't teach you then school didn't even stand a chance to help you.

If a gun can't be used to protect your rights to express and create you're not ever going to use it for anything anyway.

>Kagawa Prefecture
>all of Japan

umm... hello, retard department?

while you could be punished for it, it's probably more of a suggestion then anything else

Religious politicians does

Ofcourse they don't. For them video games are a way to indoctrinate minors.

I hate how every time some shitty parent raises a shitty kid it's societies fault for not doing a better job.

I'm 28 years old and don't remember school being "hard" and having endless amounts of free time since elementary school was like 8:30-3:00 or something like that. And I was one of "those kids" that tried to do as much homework as I could while still in classes. Though these days I hear kids don't even get homework anymore.

This contrast feels more pronounced from my perspective as an architect that goes in at 8AM and stays at work until 7PM.
Don't get in the AEC industry, it sucks.

>student exchange
>not normalfags central
You're idiot if you think school should send an otaku or nerd gamers.

Politics are binary. You either have statists that believe government should wipe your ass and give you rations and those who believe government should leave people to do what they want.

The problem with school, and where the burden comes from, was not so much the work itself or the hours, but the people you have to deal with and the homework.

If I didn't have a bunch of time to socialize with people I actually liked over some PC games back in 2003 (since console game internet wasn't really a big thing till 2007) I probably would have actually killed myself from the stress. To see some actual brainlet say that western kids are "under-burdened" by school is so incredibly incorrect in my case, but I'd imagine it varies from person to person, which is just more reason to not make a blanket statement about it.

>April 1st
>1 Hour per day

>politics isn't binary
>right wingers want to ban video games

All the children on this board, obviously

Imagine this guy telling a 17 year old he is only allowed to play video games for one hour a day.

You 2nd amendmentfags do a really bad job at advocating for yourselves when you constantly make it seem like you literally don't give a shit about anything other than your own personal gun collections.

You're advocating for a government actively stealing land from people on the border to build that wall™, where's the weight in saying you need to keep the guns to supposedly stave off the oppressive government if nobody seems to actually give a shit about said government?

You could be trying to open a discussion to shift the gun control platform in the democratic party. You know that the platform is based largely in falsehoods and arguing on emotion, and (honestly, largely because of videogames) there's a reasonably sized base of young left-leaning people who aren't 100% stark anti gunners. Instead, you're just screeching "SHALL NOT" and then going out to actively defend a retard that respects you so little that he called for all guns to be taken after Vegas before he was corrected that he couldn't actually do that.

Kinda hard to figure out how it's going to work.

Minimum age of criminal responsibility in Japan is 14. Is playing more than 60 minutes a day a criminal offence? I doubt it would be but if it was it would only have teeth on 14-18 year olds. Is it a fine? What's the punishment?

Is the child going to be punished for playing more than their allotted time, or the parents? If the parents, how are the police going to find out the kid has been playing too long, are the parents going to rat themselves out?

I'd assume the parents already have the ability to take away the property of their child for the purposes of parenting like in western countries. How does this law empower the parents any more than they currently are? Are they going to call up the police and be like, "Yeah he's queuing again and his last game was 50m, come quick."

I could understand if the onus was on platforms to enforce this, just look if an account is Japanese, is listed as X prefecture and then once playtime goes over 1 hour, close the application and put a delay on when you can play again. This is at least somewhat feasible even if it's not feasibly enforceable for a single prefecture to make demands like this.

Religion doesn't have anything to do with left or right.
