Banned in Eroge
The EOCS adult game censorship regulations imposed in response to feminist criticism have
finally been revealed in detail, and it seems they are shockingly draconian, practically banning
all pictures and text which stray from the missionary position.
Not just rape and loli are now banned; all group sex, kinkiness and anything else which might
cause trouble or offence is banned, whether in pictures or text; it is difficult to characterise
such a sweeping ban as anything but a complete victory for opponents of freedom of
expression and sexuality.
The full list of what is now completely off limits to adult games published through traditional
channels:
Rape
Loli
Gang Rape
Assault
Brutality
“Reverse” Rape
Girl
Adultery
“Reverse” Assault
Compulsion
Gangbang
Student Council
Bestiality
Bondage
Coercion
Train Molestation
Incest
Torture
Binding
Pregnancy
Violation
Slaves
Pregnant Women
Confinement
Conception
The ban covers all pictures, text, packaging and even the names of the publishers themselves.
Euphemisms are also banned, and the list will be added to as required. It seems the only major
omission is homosexuality; it is also not clear whether the ban on pregnancy and conception
means games must now feature obligatory contraception…
The source is a publisher quoting the EOCS guidelines for the benefit of their own partners,
so it is still not a direct announcement, but seems as close to one as can be expected. This also
confirms the previous publisher misgivings that a game featuring nekomimi and consensual
pregnancy would be banned under the new regulations.
Details of how this may affect publishers and retail channels are covered in the previous
articles, suffice to say it seems the retail trade in such games will be undergoing a severe
contraction.
With such a spectacular success in censoring so broad an array of deviancy, it seems only a
matter of time before a similar assault is launched against anime and manga, to say nothing of
the wider pornography industry…
