Amazon Removes Yaoi Manga Titles From Kindle Store
Repossessed writes "Amazon is now cracking down on Yaoi manga, with several titles that have been available on the Kindle since 2009 being delisted and others now being rejected, according to Digital Manga Publisher. DMP has also stated that Amazon has not given any rationale for the rejections and removals, and Amazon has not been answering emails or phone calls from journalists asking about the subject."
Bullshit, yaoi is just gay hentai, (where as yuri is lesbian hentai).
WTF is hentai?
(Google)
Oh, it's child porn comics.
I'm so glad we've cleared up the difference between boy-on-boy gay child porn comics (yaoi) and girl-on-girl lesbian child porn comics. Thanks for the clarification.
Oh no, Amazon decided not to sell what amounts to comic kiddie porn that could EASILY get them busted for distributing "obscenity" in the US. Yes, obscenity laws are fucking idiotic, but they're still out there on the books and those who distribute it can get in a load of shit. Just ask Max Hardcore.
Free speech is limited by those willing to defend the speech.
True enough, except a total misapplication to the current issue.
Amazon is a private enterprise and thus within broad limits gets to chose what it wants to sell. They aren't lobbying for a ban the nationwide selling of yaoi, or lead boycotts or go on Fox News or any of that kind of stuff.

If I was 12 and the gun was up my ass, yes, but in this context no. you have no idea what we have acually been fighting for on the free speech/digital world front. go home, close your door, and be happy that you dont feel the cold steel of a congressmans favorite toy against your flesh.

Ahh, yes, the "some are more equal than others" argument. Luckily, Amazon still sells Animal Farm.
On another note, I was thinking of organising a rally against Krogers for not stocking Kraft Stringers. I assume you'll be joining me to protest this criminal infringement of my right to determine what vendors must be forced to stock.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face
They look to be teenagers, so, yes, that would make it kiddie porn.
Again, I fail to see why it should come as any surprise that Amazon.com might not want to sell kiddie porn.
go to a NAMBLA meeting and try to exercise your 'free speech' rights. then you will find out how much they care about the 'principle'.
free speech doesnt mean Amazon can be forced to sell child porn... just like free speech has limits on defamation and all sorts of other common sense stuff.
from wikipedia. literally, its boys getting anally raped.
the NAMBLA bear crowd on the internet, which apparently has a large contingent on slashdot (frightening), wants you to think its 'porn for women' of 'consensual homosexual relationships between men'. thats the usual fucking NAMBLA propaganda.
'pubsecent' = 11, 12 years old. the idea that 'women' are going to be the primary customers of this is naive in the extreme.
notice also the wikipedia article has magically redefined rape so that its not a big deal. its typical propaganda.
we've been hoodwinked. bamboozled. led astray. run amok.
the idea that 12 year old boys getting raped is going to have a primary customer base of women is, just, idiotic.
this is NAMBLA propaganda, and slashdot in its 'knee jerk freedom of speech rights' thing has been hoodwinked and bamboozled by this crowd into accepting all sorts of lies and misleading statements.
